After two resounding victories in the first two rounds, Juventus played more modestly. The team started with 3-0 defeats to Como and Verona, but lost points in the third round. It happened in the game with Roma, where the two teams scored zero goals and had one shot on goal. Last Saturday, the Old Lady faced Empoli. Thiago Motta's side had the advantage, but failed to realise it. Moreover, the team repeatedly came close to conceding. It is obvious that Motta is in the process of building Juventus. Right now, his team is raw.

Nevertheless, in the Champions League, Torino won. Without much trouble, the Bianconeri beat PSV 3-1. However, the team from Eindhoven became a hostage of their game. If the visitors had chosen to play a low block, it is not certain that Juventus would have found the keys to their defence.

Napoli, obviously, made the right conclusions after the match of the first round. The team made it three wins in a row with a total score of 9:1. Bologna were the first to fall. "Rossoblu" missed three times and could not oppose the opponent. Then Antonio Conte's wards beat Parma by two goals in the final minutes. In the last round, the Partenopeans met with Cagliari. And although the Islanders fought back, the Adzurri closed the meeting with a score of 0:4 without much trouble.

Interestingly, the statistical metrics differ from some of Juventus' actual performance. So, the team according to xG scored 2.19 more goals than it should. According to xGA, the Torino men underachieved by 2.03 goals. It's worth noting that the Old Lady still haven't conceded a single goal in the league. Napoli also has a slight advantage. "Partenopeians" scored 2.19 goals more according to xG. It should be pointed out that in four rounds the team has distinguished itself nine times. In the last five meetings, the Adzurri have lost only once to the Bianconeri. In this stretch on the account of Napoli three victories, and one draw was also recorded. Bookmakers make Juventus the favourite, but in reality not everything is so simple. The Turin side played a European Cup match, while the Neapolitans have been purposefully preparing for the game all week. At the Allianz, the spectators can see some very interesting football. However, Juventus are unlikely to please them with a victory.
