Napoli v Juventus Predictions
This is a really difficult game to call, Juventus league form has almost been flawless, but they always tend to struggle whenever they travel to Naples. If you offered Juventus a point right now they would take it and I think that’s about as much as they will leave the San Paolo with on Sunday night. Juventus to scrape a draw.
Bookies give Napoli odds of around 7/5 to beat Juventus which is quite a generous price, but Bet365 have odds of 4/9 for Sunday’s encounter to be a Napoli win or a draw and while those odds aren’t exactly earth shattering, they should be a safe inclusion to add to any accumulator selections. Napoli’s games are usually full of goals and though Juventus games are usually the complete opposite, Unibet’s odds of 4/5 for there to be over 2.5 goals look good for a punt. It’s worth noting that Bet365’s give Juventus odds of 9/5 to win, which are probably going to be the longest odds you find for a Juve win in any Serie A game this season.
