Race for Serie A Reignited: Juve v Napoli will make or break it

Preview and odds ahead of the game

Juventus host Napoli in a top-of-the-table clash in Turin this weekend that will either make-or-break the race for the Scudetto.

Having been six points clear with just six games to play, Juve were held to a draw by lowly Crotone last night. Napoli were 2-1 down at home to Udinese, but screamed back to win 4-2 and throw the Scudetto race wide open again.

As fate would have it, the two sides meet at the Juventus Stadium on Saturday evening in what will be a pressure-cooker situation for both clubs.

A win for Napoli would cut the gap to just a single point and turn the heat up on Juve. The Coral News Team takes a look at the huge fixture…

What do Napoli have to do?

Prove the doubters wrong. Maurizio Sarri’s side have been accused of choking at vital moments. Not just this season, but in previous Scudetto races.

Sarri must use that rhetoric to fire up his players. Not that the Partenopei will need much motivation. Marek Hamsik and co. will be furious that they have let another league lead slip away.

But, most of all, Napoli need to keep their heads. It’ll be a white-hot atmosphere in Turin with everything on the line. And Juve will be waiting to ambush any over-emotional response.

Juventus’ vulnerabilities

If Napoli are to keep the title race alive, they have to hope that not only do they perform to their best, but the Old Lady have an off-day.
