Under Walter Mazzarri, Napoli looked a completely different outfit compared to last season, ultimately resulting in his sacking. This has left new manager Francesco Calzona with plenty of work to do, with his side sitting eight points off the top four. Calzona has had a positive start, avoiding defeat across his opening three matches. The hosts come into this game having thrashed Sassuolo 6-1 away from home.
A poor run of form has seen Juventus fall further behind league leaders Inter. Massimiliano Allegri’s side have lost two and drawn two of their last five matches, despite facing three teams in the bottom half of the table. The visitors did return to winning ways in their last outing, beating Frosinone 3-2 on home soil.
These Napoli vs Juventus stats will provide an insight into what to expect from this meeting. If you plan to place a bet builder on this game, this is the place to find some key tips.

🏆 Match stats: Expect goals at both ends
Across the whole season, Napoli have been no strangers to goals, scoring an average of 1.53 goals per league game, and have looked threatening under Calzona. Napoli have scored eight times in their last three outings, with both Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen rediscovering scoring form, netting a collective seven goals across these matches. Napoli have appeared to have switched off at the back at times, conceding in all of their last three.
Only three teams have been more prolific in front of goal than Juventus in away matches this season. Allegri’s men have impressed going forward, netting an average of 1.62 goals per away game. Juventus’ gaffer will be slightly concerned with his side’s defensive record, with the visitors keeping just one clean sheet across their last seven away matches.
Both teams have scored in all three of Calzona’s matches in charge of Napoli and in five of Juventus’ last seven away fixtures. Value of 1.85 is available for both teams to score in this one.
Predictions:
⚽ Both teams to score @ 1.85
🎯 Shooting stats: Osimhen to trouble Szczesny
Only two teams have registered more shots on target than Napoli this season, with the hosts finding the target 5.3 times per match on average. The average has been relatively high under Calzona, with Napoli registering an average of 4.67 shots on target per match across his three matches in charge.
One key contributor to this is Victor Osimhen, who has registered an average of 1.5 shots on target per ninety minutes thus far. The Nigerian striker has hit the target an average of 1.4 times per game in his last five league starts, registering six shots on target across his last three appearances in all competitions.
Osimhen will be confident of his chances when he faces a Juventus defence that has leaked an average of 4 shots on target per match across their last six away outings, and the bookies are offering a price of 1.25 for Napoli’s top scorer to find the target at least once.
Predictions:
⚽ Victor Osimhen 1+ shots on target @ 1.25

⚽ Over 4.5 Napoli corners @ 1.45

The visitors have conceded their fair share of free kicks on the road, committing an average of 11 fouls per game across their last seven away trips.
One recurring offender has been Bremer, who has committed an average of 1.6 fouls per ninety minutes in the league so far. The Brazilian centre-back has committed a foul in all but one of his last eight appearances.
