FOCUS ON NAPOLI VS JUVENTUS

Published on: 11 February 2021

* After their 2-1 win in January 2020, Napoli could win two consecutive games against Juventus in Serie A TIM for the first time since 2011, under Walter Mazzarri.

* The last draw between Napoli and Juventus in Serie A TIM dates back to April 2017 (1-1 goals by Khedira and Hamsik): since then, there have been four Bianconeri wins and two for the Partenopei.

* For the first time in the history of Serie A TIM, the fixture that should have been played in the first half of the season will be played after the one that is part of the second half of the campaign (Juventus-Napoli MD3 will be after Napoli-Juventus MD22).

* There have been five meetings played on Saturday between Napoli and Juventus at the Partenopei’s home (two Juventus wins and three wins for Napoli between 2007 and 2015).

* Napoli have drawn only one of their last 25 Serie A TIM games (1-1 v Torino last December): 15 wins and nine defeats.

* Juventus have not conceded a goal in three consecutive Serie A TIM games: the Bianconeri have not recorded a longer streak without conceding in the competition since December 2018 (six in a row under Massimiliano Allegri).

* Hirving Lozano's first Serie A TIM goal came against Juventus, when he made his debut in August 2019 - that remains his only meeting against the Bianconeri in the competition.

* Álvaro Morata is just one assist away from overtaking his record of assists in a single season in the European Top-5 leagues (currently seven, as in also 2015/16) - the Juventus forward hasn't scored any goals in four games against Napoli in Serie A TIM, providing two assists (both in 2015).

* Among the players currently playing with Juventus, Giorgio Chiellini is the one who has scored the most goals against Napoli in Serie A TIM (three): the next will be his 400th appearance in the Italian top-flight.
