2009-10-31 - Juventus vs Napoli

A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Analysis:

Juventus were remarkable in midweek as they swept aside Sampdoria 5-1 and will hope to send out a clear message to their rivals that they mean business. But Napoli will not be easy as they come here after the 2-2 draw with Milan despite being 2-0 down at on stage.

Fabio Cannavaro who will come up against his younger brother Paolo has insisted this will not be an easy match against Napoli coming off from two positive results. This will also see the confrontation of north against south so there is a lot at stake here.

In the past five games these two sides have played, Napoli have taken two more points than Juventus has. However, they do not have a good record against Juventus. Their last goal at Juventus was a long way back which was a 2-2 draw way back in 1998. Since then they have travelled north three times in Serie A, twice in the Coppa Italia and once in Serie B without hitting the back of Juventus net.

Last season Juventus won this encounter by 1-0. Claudio Marchisio scored just before half time but the controversy came in the final moments as Napoli felt they had equalised only to see Ezequiel Lavezzi’s goal being disallowed for offside. They felt unjust then and that could spur them on in this match today.

As for the team news, Juventus has a long injury list. Defenders Martin Caceres and Jonathan Zebina, midfielders Hasan Salihamidzic and Claudio Marchisio and strikers Alessandro Del Piero and Vincenzo Iaquinta are all lout through injuries. Napoli on the other hand,will miss the services of defenders Fabio Santacroce and Juan Zuniga as well as midfielder Roberto De Zerbi
due to injuries.

Take Juventus to win here and give the 1 ball away here.

Cheers and good luck,
