Juventus to Host Napoli in Crucial Serie A Showdown

Juventus and Napoli will go head-to-head on Sunday night at the Allianz Stadium in one of the standout fixtures of Serie A Round 22 in the 2025–26 season.

The match carries major significance for both sides as they battle for positions near the top of the table. 

Juventus head into the contest in fifth place with 39 points, while Napoli sit third on 43 points and remain within touching distance of the title race.

Since Luciano Spalletti took charge in November, Juventus have shown clear improvement, losing just twice under his leadership. 

However, a recent league setback ended their slim hopes of challenging for the Scudetto. 

The Bianconeri responded in midweek with an impressive 2–0 victory over Benfica in the Champions League, a result that confirmed their place in the knockout rounds.

Despite that European success, Juventus were stunned by Cagliari in their last domestic outing after failing to convert dominance into goals. 

With the title now out of reach, Spalletti’s primary objective is to guide the club back into the top four and secure Champions League football next season.

Napoli, meanwhile, arrive in Turin looking to reignite their league campaign. Antonio Conte’s side recently lifted the Italian Super Cup but struggled for consistency in Serie A, dropping points through a run of consecutive draws. 

A win over Sassuolo last weekend halted that slide and kept Napoli firmly in the hunt behind leaders Inter Milan and second-placed AC Milan.

As the season enters a decisive phase, Sunday’s clash could prove pivotal in shaping the battle for Champions League places, and potentially the title race itself.
