Juventus vs Napoli | Expected Lineup

Juventus welcome Napoli to the Allianz Stadium on Sunday, November 1, as the two Italian giants prepare to face each other in a highly anticipated Matchday 10 clash in the 2026/27 Serie A campaign.

Kick-off is scheduled for 20:45 CET, with several interesting statistics adding extra intrigue to the encounter.

The Bianconeri will be looking to build on their recent record against the Neapolitan side, while Napoli arrive hoping to improve their inconsistent league form.

Juventus Hold the Historical Advantage

This will be the 161st meeting between Juventus and Napoli in Serie A. The Bianconeri have dominated the historical head-to-head record, collecting 72 victories compared to Napoli’s 39, while 49 encounters have ended in draws.

Juventus also kept a clean sheet in their most recent league meeting, winning 3-0 last January. They now have the opportunity to record consecutive league clean sheets against Napoli for the first time since April–October 2012.

Interestingly, the two sides have not entered a Serie A meeting with identical points totals since April 7, 2021, when Juventus secured a 2-1 victory through goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala.

Kolo Muani and McTominay Among the Players to Watch

Randal Kolo Muani made both his Serie A debut and scored his first league goal against Napoli on January 25, 2025.

He could become the fourth Juventus player in the three-points-for-a-win era to score in each of his first two Serie A appearances against the Partenopei, following Alessandro Matri, Darko Kovacevic and Fabrizio Ravanelli.

Federico Gatti also has a special connection with Napoli, having scored the first of his three Serie A headed goals against them in December 2023.

Meanwhile, Napoli have collected 14 points from their opening nine matches. A defeat would leave them with their worst return after ten games in a Serie A season since 2009/10.

One particularly interesting statistic concerns Scott McTominay: Juventus are the opponent against whom he has played the most Serie A minutes (360) without registering a single goal or assist.
