Our prediction for Juventus vs Napoli
The "Old Lady" left fans with mixed feelings last season. On one hand, they secured third place in Serie A and won the Coppa Italia. On the other, there were several disappointing defeats, and Allegri left in a scandal before the summer break. Napoli, in contrast, went through multiple managerial changes and not only failed to defend their Scudetto, but dropped to 10th place.
Juventus brought in a new manager, Thiago Motta, and overhauled the squad. Szczesny, Rugani, Alex Sandro, Chiesa, Kostić, and De Sciglio all found new clubs, with Szczesny even retiring. Rabiot left as a free agent, and the club profited from selling Soule after his loan. At the same time, Juventus spent heavily on reinforcements, including Douglas Luiz, Di Gregorio, Khéphren Thuram, Kabral, Kalulu, Nico Gonzalez, "Chico" Conceição, and Koopmeiners—who cost €52 million from Atalanta.
Napoli, on the other hand, hired Conte. Players like Zieliński and Estigarribia left, and Osimhen finally moved on, joining Galatasaray on loan after a prolonged transfer saga that Di Laurentiis mishandled. Conte brought in Romelu Lukaku, and Napoli also signed Rafa Marin, Buongiorno, David Neres, McTominay, and Gilmour.
Napoli had a poor start to the season. They only beat Modena in the Coppa Italia on penalties after a 0-0 draw in regular time and were thrashed 0-3 by Verona. However, they bounced back with wins against Bologna and Parma, and recently hammered Cagliari. Juventus started strong with 3-0 wins over Como and Verona, but were held to scoreless draws against Roma and Empoli. However, their return to the Champions League brought a victory over PSV.
