Preview: Juventus vs. Napoli

Sports Mole looks ahead to Sunday's Serie A encounter between Juventus and Napoli.

Juventus host Napoli on Saturday with both sides hoping to keep up the pressure on Serie A leaders Roma.

The two clubs sit third and second in the table respectively, three points adrift of Rudi Garcia's side.

Juventus have won five of their last six league matches, including last weekend's narrow victory at Parma.

Antonio Conte's side come into the match off the back of their 2-2 draw with Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.

Napoli have also recorded five wins from their last six league outings, the latest coming against Catania last Saturday. Rafael Benitez's men followed that up with success in the Champions League on Wednesday when they beat Marseille 3-2.

Juventus pair Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente are expected to continue their partnership in attack.

Marek Hamsik could return for the visitors, after the striker was benched for the game against Marseille.
