Napoli vs. Juventus 9/11/21 Serie A Soccer Pick, Odds, and Prediction

Napoli is hosting Juventus at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in a derby match of round 3 of the Italian Serie A. Napoli is in outstanding form, and they have won both of their Serie A games at the start of this season. Juventus has started this season sloppy, their defense was bad, and they haven’t won any of their first two games.

Napoli is probably in the best form of all teams in Serie A, they have scored 4 goals in their first two games while conceding only 1 goal. With 6 points, Napoli is now in 5^th place because a lot of teams have won their first two games. Napoli was playing against Genoa on the road in their last game before the international break, and they were a much better team with 61% of ball possession, 8 shots on goal, 5 corner kicks, 2 big chances created, and 86% of the correct passes. Napoli got ahead in the first half, but Genoa has tied the score in the 69^th minute. Luckily for Napoli, they have scored a goal in the 84^th minute, and they have won this match 1-2. Elmas, Ruiz, Insigne, and Petagna have each scored 1 goal for Napoli so far this season. Ghoulam, Mertens, and Demme are injured, while Osimhen is suspended because of the red card. Napoli is a fantastic team, they have some of the best teams in Serie A, and if they can keep it up, I don’t see why Napoli wouldn’t be able to win the title.

Juventus has lost Ronaldo a couple of weeks ago, and I honestly think it was the right move for them. Even though Juventus hasn’t won any of their first two games, they are still one of the best teams in Italy. Juventus was playing against Empoli in their last game, and they have had 55% of ball possession, 5 shots on goal, 8 corner kicks, 1 big chance created, and 84% of the correct passes. Juventus has conceded a goal in the 21^st minute, and despite all of their chances, Juventus wasn’t able to score a goal. Juventus ended up losing this game 0-1. Juventus’ defense is not doing well at the moment, but maybe this international break will do them some good. In the attacking end, Juventus has scored 2 goals in 2 games, and Cuadrado and Dybala are their goalscorers. Arthur and Ramsey are injured. Juventus has started this season with the new head coach, a good head coach, and I think they will do well, but the competition in Serie A is strong this season.

Napoli is in much better form, but Juventus hasn’t lost any of their last 6 games on the road. I think this will be a good game, and I don’t think Napoli was ever in a better position to beat Juventus.
