"With just four points separating the sides, both teams are desperate to keep pace with the Milan clubs at the summit-and familiar faces in the dugouts add extra spice to this showdown. Juventus Since Luciano Spalletti's arrival in November, Juventus have lost only twice, though last weekend's shock defeat at Cagliari may have ended any lingering title hopes. The Bianconeri dominated possession and chances but somehow left Sardinia empty-handed, halting a six-game unbeaten run."
"Now sitting three points outside the top four, Juve's priority is securing Champions League football for next season. Their European campaign remains on track after Wednesday's 2-0 win over Benfica, which guaranteed at least a playoff spot. Goals from Khephren Thuram and Weston McKennie sealed the victory, extending Juve's unbeaten home streak to nearly a year. Indeed, Juventus have not lost at the Allianz Stadium since last March and remain one of only two Serie A teams-alongside Napoli-yet to suffer a home defeat this season."
Juventus host reigning champions Napoli at the Allianz Stadium with four points separating the sides and major implications for the top-four race. Since Luciano Spalletti's November arrival, Juventus have lost only twice, but a shock defeat at Cagliari halted a six-game unbeaten run. Juve sit three points outside the top four and aim to secure Champions League qualification; a 2-0 win over Benfica guaranteed at least a playoff spot and extended their unbeaten home streak to nearly a year. Arkadiusz Milik, Daniele Rugani and Dusan Vlahovic remain sidelined. Napoli have won only twice in 14 Turin visits, losing ten, and Antonio Conte has never beaten his former club away in Serie A.
