However, Juventus are 19/20 (1.95) favourites with bet365 to move to within two points of their opponents by pulling off a big win on home soil.

The Partenopei suffered a dramatic decline in form in losing three of their last four league matches prior to the break and Napoli are 3/1 (4.0) outsiders to come out on top at the Juventus Stadium.

None of the last nine Serie A encounters between this duo have resulted in draws, but you can get odds of 5/2 (3.50) on them cancelling each other out in this one.

Juventus vs Napoli first goalscorer

Alvaro Morata is the 4/1 (5.0) favourite to open the scoring after getting on target in three of his last five league matches, while Moise Kean can be backed at 6/1 (7.0) to break the deadlock for the third home game in a row.

With Victor Osimhen missing through injury, Dries Mertens and Lorenzo Insigne are the visitors' best bets to score first - available at 13/2 (7.50) and 7/1 (8.0) respectively.

Juventus vs Napoli preview

The winter break came at a good time for Luciano Spalletti’s men, who had seen their promising-looking Scudetto bid scuppered by a run of just eight points collected from a possible 24.

In contrast, the Bianconeri were just getting into their stride after a poor start to the campaign, finishing the year with five wins and a draw from the final six games.

Having won nine and lost just one of their last 11 home league fixtures against this opposition, they will be confident of picking up where they left off with an important victory here.
