Juventus vs Napoli prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - September 21, 2024
As part of the fifth round of Italy’s Serie A, a match between Juventus and Napoli will take place in Turin on Saturday, September 21st. The game is scheduled to start at 18:00 Central European Time. The prediction for this match was made by experts at Dailysports.
Juventus
Juventus had an excellent start, defeating Verona and Como in the first two rounds. However, something went wrong in Thiago Motta's attacking system, and the matches against Roma and Empoli ended without any goals.
The Turin club is the only one yet to concede a goal in Serie A, but their attack looked toothless in the game against Empoli. Despite that, Juventus confidently handled PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League.
Napoli
After a disappointing start against Verona, many were quick to write off Napoli as underachievers. However, Antonio Conte made the necessary adjustments, and the Neapolitans have won all their subsequent matches.
Their play hasn’t always been spectacular, but the team has shown character and achieved success. Romelu Lukaku is once again flourishing, having contributed to four goals for his new club since joining Napoli.
Match Facts
- Juventus are unbeaten in Serie A for 12 consecutive matches.
- Napoli have won their last three matches with a total score of 9:1.

Head-to-Head
In the last ten meetings between these teams, Napoli has won five, while Juventus has won three, with two draws.
Prediction
Napoli has an advantage in preparation time, as Juventus played in the Champions League midweek. I believe the visitors will be fresher and will avoid defeat in this match.
