Napoli vs. Juventus: Spalletti Returns to Maradona for Key Serie A Match Today

Juventus arrive unbeaten under Luciano Spalletti against a Napoli side protecting a year‑long home run.

Overview

  • Kickoff is Sunday at 2:45 p.m. ET at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, with U.S. streaming on Paramount+ and DAZN carrying the match in the UK and Ireland.
  • Napoli hold 28 points to Juventus’ 23 after 13 matches, a five‑point gap that underscores the title‑race stakes.
  • Spalletti, who won the 2022–23 Scudetto with Napoli, has started unbeaten at Juventus with four wins and three draws in all competitions.
  • Juventus are without Dusan Vlahovic for about three months after adductor surgery and defender Federico Gatti for at least a month following meniscus surgery, while Napoli’s midfield options are thinned by Stanislav Lobotka’s muscle strain plus ongoing absences for Kevin De Bruyne, Andre‑Frank Anguissa and Billy Gilmour.
  • Napoli are unbeaten in 17 straight Serie A home matches and have won six consecutive home league meetings with Juventus since 2020, and previews point to a potentially low‑scoring game based on recent trends.
