Allianz Stadium, 18 pm: the first appointment for the Scudetto is here. Juventus-Napoli certainly can't be considered decisive but it will certainly give many indications on the fight for the title, in one sense or another. A black and white victory would reaffirm the superiority of the last few seasons, a blue one instead would overturn all judgments and even a draw, however interlocutory, would sanction the existence of a certain balance. In short, the match in Turin, while not deciding anything, counts, and how if it counts and the speech does not only apply to the fans, whose rivalry has now detached all the others. “We want to redeem last season's defeat – growled Allegri in the press conference. – We are only on the seventh day, so nothing will be decided, but it will still be an important match, to be won. They are shedding skin, they suffer fewer shots on goal, they have a coach with an impressive palmares. We've been good so far, now we'll have to be very good." A lot of confidence on the black and white front but also the blue one is no joke.
Ancelotti knows he has made many steps forward compared to the start of the championship, however, now, to give management the final blow in the towel Sarri, requires a high-level acute and a positive result in Turin, it va sans dire, that would be ideal. “It is a very important test to understand our moment – confirmed the Napoli coach. – Metwe will keep our qualities on the pitch and try to win, I don't care who is the favourite. Sign for equal? I've never done that in my life, I certainly won't do it this time." An incandescent eve therefore, now we will see if the field will confirm the expectations. Both coaches want to shuffle the cards with respect to the midweek round, and if this is certainly not new for Juve, accustomed to Allegri's turnover, it is instead for Napoli, who have found a true expert in the sector with Ancelotti. "I always have to make painful choices, also because then we will have the Champions League" explained the black and white, "everyone deserves to play but this is my problem, not yours" echoed the blue. The exit polls show Juve with a 4-3-3 with Szczesny in goal, Cancel it, Bonucci, Chiellini and Alex Sandro in defense, Emre Can, Pjanic e Matuidi in midfield, Bernardeschi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Mandzukic in attack. Usual 4-4-2 instead for Napoli, who will respond with Ospina between the poles, Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly and Mario Rui in the back department, Callejon, Allan, Hamsik e Zielinski in the median in support of the offensive duo composed by Insigne and Mertens.
