The battle for Serie A’s European places continues as a revitalised Napoli squad host Juventus at the Stadia Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday.
One week ago, Napoli made their second managerial change of the season, firing Walter Mazzarri after just three months and 17 games in command, with the club sitting ninth in the table, 27 points off the top. They appointed current Slovakia national team head coach Francesco Calzona to the position, charging the former Luciano Spalletti assistant with double duty at least until the end of the season.
They exploded to life in his second domestic match at the helm, obliterating Sassuolo on the road 6-1 behind a Victor Osimhen hat-trick and a brace from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, with both players also chipping in with an assist each. Now, Calzona looks to reverse the club’s oddly miserable home form this season, having won just five of their 12 league home games thus far.
Juventus will also hope they have sparked a turnaround last time out, beating Frosinone to stop a lengthy skid that allowed Inter to open a seemingly insurmountable 12-point gap at the top of the Serie A table.

Napoli vs Juventus lineups, team news
For this stage of a long and arduous season, Napoli are impressively fit. The only injury issues for new boss Francesco Calzona are to seldom-used players Jens Cajuste and Cyril Ngonge, who are sporting short-term concerns.
Otherwise, Napoli have their entire compliment of first-team players available for selection, with Victor Osimhen back and in full swing from his taxing Africa Cup of Nations journey.
Napoli projected starting lineup (4-3-3): Meret (GK) — Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Ostigard, Rui — Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski — Politano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia.
American midfielder Weston McKennie, who has been in great form, suffered a recurrence of his shoulder dislocation last match. He will be out for the next few weeks, leaving his participation for the USMNT in the CONCACAF Nations League in doubt. Also missing is Adrien Rabiot who has a dislocated finger.
The fitness of Federico Chiesa has been in question of late, but he is reportedly ready to go. Danilo has an ankle problem but has returned to training on an individual basis and could be in contention to return.
Juventus projected starting lineup (3-5-2): Sczcesny (GK) — Gatti, Bremer, Rugani — Cambiaso, Alcaraz, Locatelli, Miretti, Kostic — Vlahovic, Yildiz.
