Napoli face Juventus at San Paolo Stadium on Sunday, March 3. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
The Serie A title race could come to an end on Sunday at the San Paolo with Napoli hosting Juventus. Napoli are second in Serie A, at 13 points behind Juventus, and a loss would likely end their already slim title hopes. Juventus have yet to lose a Serie A game this season, picking up 69 of 75 points.
Napoli defeated Parma 4-0 last weekend, with Polish striker Arkadiusz Milik scoring twice. Milik leads the club with 14 goals this season. Since the winter break ended, the Donkeys picked up 12 points in six games. Carlo Ancelotti’s team have conceded only 18 goals this season and will need to play one of their best games of the season if they are going to beat Juventus. Kalidou Koulibaly is in the conversation for the best center-back in the world. If Koulibaly has a strong performance and shuts down Cristiano Ronaldo and the top-scoring team in Italy, he will certainly make a case as the best in the world at his position.
Juventus defeated Bologna 1-0 last weekend, with Paulo Dybala coming off the bench to score the winner. The Black and Whites will look to move 16 points clear of Napoli with a win on Sunday. A potential 16-point lead with 12 games to play will almost certainly be enough for Juventus to win their eighth-straight title. However, the success of Juventus’ season will be determined by their Champions League run. Even if Massimiliano Allegri’s team accomplishes an undefeated season, it will be considered a disappointment if Juventus are knocked out by Atletico Madrid.
