Italian giants Juventus host Serie A leaders Napoli on Matchday 31 at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday evening as the Partenopei get closer to sealing their first scudetto since 1989/90.
Despite drawing 0-0 to Hellas Verona in the previous round, the Neapolitans still have a 14-point lead over Lazio in second place. Meanwhile, La Vecchia Signora are equal seventh with Bologna albeit with a points deduction and they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Sassuolo in their latest league fixture.
The last time when these two clubs played each other was a forgetful experience for Juventus as they suffered a 5-1 thrashing against Napoli in Naples. They will be hoping that playing in Turin in front of their home fans will give them a boost in confidence as they try to secure a place in Europe for 2023/24.
