Serie A heavyweights Napoli and Juventus will face each other in a mouth-watering battle at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Friday.
Napoli are unbeaten in their last two Serie A matches against Juventus (W1 D1), last recording a longer unbeaten streak against the Bianconeri in 2011 (five, with Walter Mazzarri in charge). It is a contest between the best attack (39 goals for Napoli) and the best defence (seven goals conceded for Juventus) in Serie A and all eyes will be on the duel between the Juve centre-backs and in-form Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen.
This will be Massimiliano Allegri's 450th match in Serie A as a manager as he becomes the eighth coach to reach this milestone. His opposite number, Luciano Spalletti, is also on the verge of a significant milestone as he is only one win away from equalling Carlo Ancelotti's 275 wins in Serie A, while Allegri is on 273. If Juventus get the three points they will cut short Napoli's lead at the top to just four points after 18 matchdays.
