Napoli vs Juventus game preview

Napoli are currently sixth in the Serie A standings, with 37 points from 20 games. The Partenopei suffered a 2-1 defeat against Genoa last weekend and were then dumped out of the Coppa Italia in the semi-final by Atalanta. The pressure on Gattuso has continued to mount over the past few weeks and the Italian has a serious task on his hands when Juventus visit Naples on Saturday. 

Meanwhile, Juventus have climbed up to third place on the Serie A table and have racked up 42 points from 20 games. Andrea Pirlo's men recorded an impressive 2-0 win against Roma last weekend to keep the pressure on the two Milan clubs above them. The Bianconeri are still seven points behind league leaders AC Milan, with a game in hand. The Old Lady also progressed through to the Coppa Italia final and will face Atalanta in May.
