The Serie A returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Massimiliano Allegri's Juventus lock horns with Napoli in a massive encounter at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday.
Juventus vs Napoli Preview
Juventus have been in impressive form this season and have managed to get their points deduction reversed this week. The Bianconeri are currently in third place in the Serie A standings and will look to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat against Sassuolo in their previous league game.
Napoli, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been excellent over the course of their campaign. The Neapolitan outfit crashed out of the UEFA Champions League this week and have a point to prove this weekend.
