Juventus will face Napoli at the Allianz Stadium this Sunday evening. A win for Luciano Spalletti’s team could push them back into the top four and narrow the gap to Serie A leaders Inter Milan.
As they prepare for this important Round 22 match, Juventus trails Napoli by four points.
Since Spalletti’s arrival, Juventus has shown strong form. In their last five games, they secured a 3-0 win against Sassuolo, dominated Cremonese 5-0, took a narrow 0-1 loss to Cagliari, and won 2-0 against Benfica in the Champions League.
The Bianconeri currently sit sixth in the Serie A with 39 points from 21 games (11 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses). Since Spalletti joined the team in late October, they’ve earned 24 points, surpassing Napoli’s 22 points and only trailing Milan (28) and Inter (31).
Juventus team news
Dusan Vlahovic will be out until early March 2026, which means Spalletti will rely on Jonathan David and Lois Openda upfront, with Kenan Yildiz playing in an advanced midfield role.
Daniele Rugani is sidelined with a calf injury until early February, and Jonas Rouhi is uncertain due to a muscle issue.
Despite these injuries, Spalletti has stated that the team is not yet in the race for the Scudetto, acknowledging they’re “still not at the level of Inter or Napoli” after the recent victory. However, since his appointment in November, only Inter has earned more points than Juventus, who have also scored the most goals in Serie A during this period.
Juventus predicted lineup
Possible Juventus starting XI: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram; Conceicao, McKennie, Yildiz; David.
When will the match kick off?
The match is set to begin at 5pm BST on Sunday, January 25th.
