| PROBABLE LINE-UPS |
JUVENTUS  Buffon Bonucci, Barzagli, Chiellini L'steiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, De Ceglie Matri, Vucinic | NAPOLI  De Sanctis Campagnaro, Cannavaro, Aronica Maggio, Gargano, Inler, Zuniga Hamsik Lavezzi, Cavani |
Juventus have a full squad to choose from for the visit of Napoli on Sunday, but it is likely that coach Antonio Conte will utilise a 3-5-2 formation during the match.
The trainer used his tried-and-trusted 4-3-3 against Inter last week, but it is expected that goalscorers Martin Caceres and Alessandro Del Piero will be benched in favour of Leonardo Bonucci and Stephan Lichtsteiner, while there will be no place for Simone Pepe.
Meanwhile for Napoli, a number of changes look set to take place from the 2-2 draw with Catania a week ago. The alterations start in defence, as Hugo Campagnaro has returned to the fold and should replace Federico Fernandez.
Elsewhere, Andrea Dossena and Blerim Dzemaili will be dropped to accommodate Christian Maggio and Gokhan Inler in midfield.
| DID YOU KNOW? |
In 131 previous Serie A meetings, Juventus have won 58 times against Napoli, compared to their rivals' 28 victories.
- However, the Partenopei are unbeaten in their last five games against the Old Lady.
- Alessandro Matri has already netted five goals against the Partenopei.
- The Bianconeri have failed to score in just one of their last 19 games at home.
- Napoli are unbeaten in the last nine Serie A matches, but have drawn their last two.
- Walter Mazzarri's side have shipped seven goals over their last three fixtures in the league.
- Marek Hamsik has scored five goals against Juventus; more than against any other club.
- Napoli have netted 145 strikes against the Old Lady, the most against in Italy's top-flight division.
Napoli have no trouble in scoring, but it's their deficiencies at the back that will cost them once more against Juventus, and possibly the chance of finishing in a Champions League spot at the end of the season. Juve, meanwhile, are very much experiencing the opposite, but they have recently rediscovered their scoring touch, so a slender victory for the hosts should suffice.
