Juventus unbeaten record ended in Napoli hands, and the big match ended with a score of 2-1 for Napoli victory. Regardless of the course of the match, the result keeps Napoli at the top of the standings, while Juventus is in fifth place, their efforts to break into the top four have not succeeded. Losing Kvaratskhelia who moved to PSG, apparently did not reduce Napoli performance, Conte was able to handle it very well.
I was pessimistic that Napoli couldn't continue their performances after the first goal was scored. new Juventus players are very keen to take advantage of opportunities; I can see how the Napoli squad is struggling to equalize the score since Kvaratskhelia move to PSG. But, Napoli have another great player who can continue it. Conte optimist because Napoli has stock to continue the performance. Now, Napoli have 6 different points with inter, even inter still have 2 matches plaikng yet, but with this situation This first place can give Napoli squad confidence to maintain it until week 38.

I was also initially hesitant to bet 1x2 on this match because Napoli and Juventus are both top clubs that have quite high prestige and of course they don't want to lose and might try to draw like Juventus did, but somehow in the match I was very sure Napoli would beat Juventus to break the unbeaten record and Napoli was able to do it well even though Napoli was behind in the first half but Napoli was able to reply in the second half by scoring 2 goals for their victory, now Napoli is still sitting comfortably at the top of the standings.
Just like me, both teams played quite well in terms of defense especially Juventus they are undefeated in Serie A and I thought this match would end in a draw but it turned out I was wrong, Napoli have very high ambitions even though they were behind they showed the best desire to win the match and this is a very good mentality from Napoli players they deserve to be at the top of the standings because they played with very high ambitions and great spirit as a team, this defeat is also the first defeat for Juventus in Serie A so far they did a very good defense but unfortunately a mistake in the penalty box made them have to go home without bringing a single point, and Napoli's goalkeeper also made an extraordinary save and the great thing is with this victory I think Napoli will have more potential to win the Serie A league this season.Unfortunately I am very hesitant to choose Napoli in my bet because of the doubts I feel about the draw even though the odds given for Napoli are quite good, maybe next time I will make another good bet without thinking too much.
Napoli - Juventus
It will be quite an interesting match this weekend, Napoli is in good form and has won consecutively in its last 5 matches, will Napoli maintain its winning streak this time when facing Juventus? I think yes because Napoli wants to stay at the top of the standings and not let Inter overtake them, especially Juventus' unstable performance will make Napoli take advantage of that, I myself bet on Napoli's victory in this match.
Betting on this match seems very difficult to bet on 1x2 because the odds given to Napoli are also very doubtful and I think it is very difficult to choose the home team to win, even though Napoli plays quite well and they Napoli have never lost in their 5 home meetings against Juventus, but this season Juventus is unbeaten in Serie A and they Juventus only mostly draw, of course this will be difficult for Napoli especially considering Juventus' defense is quite good with unbeaten statistics so far I think betting on Napoli will be very difficult.It will be quite an interesting match this weekend, Napoli is in good form and has won consecutively in its last 5 matches, will Napoli maintain its winning streak this time when facing Juventus?

And I think betting on under will be more possible because both are very good at defending so far, and I think betting on Napoli or Juventus will be very dangerous, especially because their last meeting ended with a score of 0-0 and I think this will happen again.
And yes, Juventus had to lose their match when facing the top of the standings, Napoli. This is their first defeat this season in Serie A.
Actually, they got good momentum in the first half after being able to score a goal first. I think that could be a very good capital for them in the second half. However, Napoli is not that easy to beat and they can even score 2 goals to turn things around in the second half.
If this continues, then it is very dangerous for them.

I just realized, yes, it turns out this is Juventus' first loss in Serie A this season, after previously they were able to maintain their unbeaten position, well, even though their draw results were really very many.So far, Juventus' unbeaten position in Serie A 2024/2025 from 22 matches:
- 8 wins
- 13 draws
- and the only loss is from Napoli, 1.
And FYI, in this match, Lukaku became the second player to score against Juventus in Serie A, with Inter Milan, AS Rom, and now Napoli, after his previous one, Amedeo Amadei.

Competing for the Scudetto title is no longer possible for Juventus because they are currently behind in terms of the race. There are many clubs that they might have to pass in terms of points so in Juventus' condition it will be very difficult. Juventus can target the top five by the end of the season because that is much more feasible for them to achieve than the Scudetto. Juventus have drawn so many games this season that it has made it increasingly difficult for Juventus to catch up on points so their chances are very slim. The title race is certainly over for Juventus because so far they have not found their best form and I think chasing a position in the Champions League is their choice.

Kolo Muani scored a goal in his debut, not bad.
Juventus deserved the win in the 1st half, they dominated the game and Napoli was not able to play any ball.
But in the second half the game changed and they lost the game.
Scudetto race is now off for sure, they need to hope to be in the top 4 at the end of the season or it will be "economical suicide"

Napoli Vs Juventus, with the way Juventus plays they are only out for one thing, which is to play a draw against Napoli. Juventus doesn't really go all out for a win, it's just defense upon defense that's mainly their style of play this season. Although Napoli needs to be watchful in order not to be surprised by Juventus.
I hate how Juventus only aim for a draw and not a win. This was exactly what they demonstrated tonight. How can you be leading by just one goal and resort to playing defense and not to score more goals? This is a mistake from the coach and until they change that mindset, they will continue to play draw which will make them even miss top 4 position in the league table. Napoli was not supposed to win the match assuming Juventus remained as attacking as they can possibly be. I think Juventus deserves to lose the game because they had no intention of being winners of this particular game looking at how they played, nobody is against them playing defense when they play against a team that is good in scoring goals but it's a big mistake to see them winning a team like Napoli by one goal instead of attacking them more to score more goals they pushed back until they conceded goals. I was expecting the Juventus coach to encourage his players to attack instead of going defensive because they would have been able to score more goals but Conte was more calculative in this game and his knowledge of the game helped his team to punish Juventus for defending too early when they only have 1 goal.
Well, although Juventus are still unbeaten so far, that doesn't mean Juventus will be able to beat Napoli in the next Serie A match. Moreover, Juventus will also be playing away and I think Juventus will only focus on getting another draw. But unfortunately, it looks like it will be difficult for Juventus not to concede because after all, Napoli still has consistent results with its current winning streak. Indeed, Juventus also managed to beat Milan with a score of 2-0 in the previous match, but Napoli are a different team and also, Napoli managed to beat Atalanta in the previous away match. At least these results are enough to provide a reference also that Napoli are still better under Conte this season, so I believe Napoli will have a good chance to win.
Juventus still have some sort of advantage going into this game and shouldn't be considered the underdogs in this game because they haven't lost in the serie A this season and are still unbeaten which means it wouldn't be just easy for Napoli to override Juventus even with the home advantage but Napoli would pressurise them no doubt because they are league leaders and would strife to extend their lead at the top if possible. So for me, I think it would be a game of chance for both teams, whichever side can take the lead first stands a good chance of winning the match.If you realize and pay attention every time Juventus plays, the fact is Juventus more often managed to make a goal first, but for the final result is a draw. Therefore, earlier I said Juventus will probably only focus on a draw, because Juventus really don't have the ability to maintain a score advantage so far. Indeed, previously Juventus managed to beat Milan, but Milan has a new coach, although Milan managed to get the Super Cup trophy, but Milan with its new coach still needs time to adapt.
But about Napoli under Conte, they have had good results since the beginning of the season, so I said before Napoli is a different team at this moment. Although indeed, I also still recognize Juventus has a chance to win, but it will certainly be difficult to happen considering Juventus is only more focused on a draw. Even if for example Juventus manages to score first, there is still no guarantee that Juventus will be able to maintain it.
So, what's the result?
For me, with the many draws that Juventus got, it is still a bad result, I don't care that Juventus is undefeated so far because their position in the standings is also bad. I have also said that Juventus often scores first, but for the final result is a draw but playing against Napoli is clearly very different. Because Napoli this season is about their coach, Conte, of course Napoli is a better team than Juventus. Therefore, for this match against Napoli I really don't have the confidence to choose Juventus, because Juventus also doesn't have a strong attack pattern. It is proven, because in the first half Juventus led with a score of 0-1 and then Juventus only played defensively in the second half, until finally Juventus had to accept its first defeat this season.
I didn't think Juventus were actually going to lose this game, I had predicted it to be another draw since Napoli is playing at home but never didn't it came to mind that Juventus will be this poor in tackles and creativity in this game even if they get to lose to their host side. The stats compared shameful, I admit.

In the fifth minute of the match, Kenan Yıldız got the ball, controlled it well and shot a shot, it was very close to scoring. If Kenan Yıldız had scored in that position, Juventus would have started the match very well, the whole course of the match would have changed. Because before the first half ended, Juventus scored another goal, Juventus is one of the teams that concedes few goals in the league, if one of them had a two-goal difference, they could have kept the score. Napoli continues to collect points and maintain their winning streak. They are currently no trouble in terms of winning.
What's actually happening to Juventus? They no longer fit into the category of winning games, they just have tougher atmosphere. Winning the scudetto does come with planned formation and not some random strategies. It will take Juventus couple of years to bounce back to elite form because there's presence of other tough rivals. Juventus coach, Thiago Motta is competent for his role and there's no way he's holding back, he will keep the pressure on until he reaches full potentials. The Old lady's are 5th position and this is credible stats for them to keep fighting. Juventus will make signings of prominent players this season, I'm confident about this phase.
In another match, a match is currently underway between Bologna and Empoli. The match has reached the 55th minute and the score is still 1-1.
In the first half, it was very unfortunate because Bologna, who were quite favored in this match, actually had to fall behind early on against Empoli, before finally Bologna was able to equalize right when the match in the first half was almost over. And through the dominance of the game that continued until the second half, I hope Bologna can score again to be able to secure 3 points in this match.
I don't think it's unfortunate having both team with the scoreline of 1-1 qt such time of the game, technically looking at both teams you get to understand they aren't both far apart if we are to take a good look at theideprh and their strength, I mean it's one that I cannot be particular about who's going to win but can be sure that for every meeting the best team wins otherwise they end up in a draw. Looking back at their meetings, they have got only a few wins and mostly draw, fortunately to night is one of the draw nights too as the game ended a draw too.

Napoli proved and wanted the win by all means necessary, that's why they pushed forward and troubled Juventus defence. Really great for Napoli and their mindset which is attack. Juventus in recent years are more defensive than they normally were when they dominated the Italian league. Nice one for Napoli, they are really giving Inter Milan the fight that shows that they are not backing down from the top spot. Napoli will feel great right now for handing Juventus their first defeat this season.
Yes, Napoli proved that they deserve to be at the top of the standings, competing with Inter Milan. With Conte as their coach, Napoli's performance moved and increased very rapidly. In this match against Juventus, Napoli won 2-1.This is indeed a narrow score, but a win is a win. And from the statistics, it is actually quite balanced, but fortunately Napoli was able to optimize the chance to score a goal, especially from Lukaku's penalty kick.

Now I believe that Napoli is indeed a team to beat in the Italian Serie A. Initially I was thinking they will succumb to pressures and give way for Inter Milan or even Juventus but that seems to not be in their plans. Today they were one goal down from first half as they faced Juventus and I felt that match might end that way given the defensive skills of their visitors but I ever knew that Napoli were packing a wonderful surprise for them in the second half. The fired back to make the goals even before Lukaku perfectly netted a penalty that gave Napoli the advantage. I hope they are able to sustain their lead to keep the match at 2-1 in their favor.
Inter Milan still has a chance of topping the table as Napoli has played two games extra while inter Milan has two games to win and top the table. Inter Milan also has a very high and good goal difference that'll put them at the top of the table if they both get to be on the same point. Napoli are really playing well despite having a new coach bit it's not surprising me as I didn't doubt the ability of the new coach that took over the club. Antonio Conte has never disappointed at any club he went to expect for Tottenham and that's as the club is cursed to never win any trophies in the recent days. It's going to be an interesting challenge between the two club for the title.

Even with the tight defence, they were not able to still have a draw unless they caused a penalty in the second half a few minutes after the equalising goal from Napoli. Although we all know that Juventus will just try their best, which they did, but ended up messing everything. Although no doubt Napoli is more in a strong pattern and performance than Juventus, that is why even from the start of the game they only focus on their defence and refuse to strike, but after some struggles they were able to gain the first goal of the match, although to the halftime. Even with the defeat, they tried their best because Napoli is not a match for Juventus considering the performance.

Kolo Muani had a good chance for Juventus in his debut match but in the end they succumbed to a 2-1 scoreline due to a lack of focus as they were pounded throughout the match by Napoli which cost Juventus points for the first time this season.This is the first defeat for them but there are indeed a lot of things that need to be highlighted in this match because for me Juventus still played quite well at least they defended quite well but their focus slowly disappeared which made Juventus have to be comeback by Napoli.
In addition, despite losing this is also a pretty good debut for Kolo Muani when talking about his goal productivity even though he had to start at Juventus with a defeat but at least there is hope for Juventus' attacking line to get better later.
A very pleasing result for Torino fans in yesterday's match even though there were doubts that it would end in a draw, but it turned out that all that was wrong and the winning result is proof that Torino is able to be consistent but does not have a strong defense line. I said consistent because a draw would be better than losing points from the previous 4 matches and 1 win in the last match.
I think Torino needs a little change to be able to get better results like the beginning of this season.
Che Adams and his friends were able to perform well in this match. He managed to bring Torino to victory over Calgiari through two goals he scored, one goal in the first half and one goal in the second half.
As previously stated, of course as a fan I also hope that this victory can be a greater motivation so that Torino players can achieve even more victories.
