Massimiliano Allegri’s team makes an extremely determined and self-confident impression in the early stages. Apparently the Turinese want to confirm the positive trend of the last few weeks in any case.

Almost the lead for the home side! Federico Chiesa runs at high speed from midfield and is not attacked by the guests at all. The following attempt by the Italian from 16 meters flies past the left post very thinly.

For the first time, the Partenopei combines nicely around the hosts’ sixteen. Finally, after a few stops on the right side, the ball lands on Matteo Politano, whose shot is blocked by Juventus.

On the right edge of the box, Federico Chiesa adjusts the leather and pulls it off. David Ospina can secure the relatively harmless conclusion in the follow-up.

Federico Chiesa resolutely drives the ball forward and serves Adrien Rabiot, who is also running, on the left flank. However, the Frenchman slams the ball over the crossbar from an acute angle.

Incidentally, the Italian record champions were not spared from the main topic, the latest corona wave. In addition to the 37-year-old European champion Giorgio Chiellini, Carlo Pinsoglio is also missing for this reason.

The first Great opportunity the game also goes to the account of the Bianconeri! After a corner from the left flag, Weston McKennie climbs completely free to the header in the six-yard area, but actually pushes the leather past the box from a very short distance and is very annoyed about it.

Juventus’ first advance: Morata puts the ball from headquarters to the left to Federico Chiesa. Giovanni Di Lorenzo blocks the shot attempt from around 18 meters.

A rather unknown face is sitting on the guests’ bench this evening. Marco Domenichini is replacing coach Luciano Spalletti, who is not on board due to a positive corona test.

Referee Simone Sozza clears the match at Allianz Stadium! The home side wear the traditional white and black jerseys. In contrast, the guests from southern Italy wear red jerseys.

Massimiliano Allegri changed his team to four positions compared to the match against Cagliari: Daniele Rugani, Manuel Locatelli, Federico Chiesa and Weston McKennie replaced Leonardo Bonucci, Rodrigo Bentancur, Arthur and Moise Kean. Guest coach Luciano Spalletti has to swap three times after losing to Spezia and lets Diego Demme, Faouzi Ghoulam and Lorenzo Insigne start for Mário Rui, André Anguissa and Hirving Lozano.
20:12
After a furious start to the season, Naples has lost the thread a bit in the past few weeks. In the last five games, the guests drove only one victory, among other things due to the bitter bankruptcies against Spezia Calcio (0: 1) and FC Empoli (0: 1). There are also corona problems at Partenopei, because in Luciano Spaletti’s team, Hirving Lozano, Kévin Malcuit and Eljif Elmas tested positive, the latter being able to leave the quarantine on time and sitting on the bench. In addition, André Anguissa, Kalidou Koulibaly and Adam Ounas are at the Africa Cup and are missing from the team.
20:01
With five successes and a draw in the last six games, the Bianconeri have returned to a somewhat calm position. The Turin conceded only one goal. In the Italian cup competition and the Champions League, Juventus is still going according to plan. Most recently, the team of coach Massimiliano Allegri was able to assert itself against Cagliari Calcio (2-0). The old lady now wants to return the favor for the 1: 2 first leg defeats against SSC Napoli, which made the record champions’ false start a few months ago.
19:53
Even a strong intermediate sprint from Juventus Turin before Christmas could not make the season start wrong. At the beginning of the new year, the Italian record champions are only in fifth place. They are four points behind the Champions League ranks, and there are even twelve points up to league leaders Inter Milan. The SSC Napoli was able to work out a better starting position. As third, the southern Italians currently have a cushion of five points on the Bianconeri.
19:45
A wonderful good evening and a warm welcome to the 20th matchday in Serie A! Juventus Turin hosted SSC Napoli at the start of the second half of the season. Kick-off at Allianz Stadium is at 8:45 p.m.
