Juventus and Napoli meet at the Allianz Stadium at 20:45 CET on what marks the Turin club's 129th birthday. Kolo Muani and Woltemade lead Juventus's attack, with Cabal replacing the struggling Cambiaso at left-back. De Bruyne steps in for the injured Lobotka in Napoli's midfield. Both teams sit level on 14 points, but arrive in vastly different shape after midweek action.
Juventus suffered a 2-0 defeat at Genoa and subsequently retreated to the J Hotel following the loss. Manager Luciano Spalletti declared the team must "win back the respect that's been taken from us." Napoli, meanwhile, delivered a commanding 4-1 victory at Monza. Assistant Marco Landucci will handle Juventus duties as Allegri serves the second match of his two-game suspension.
Juventus's injury crisis continues with Yildiz, Thuram, Locatelli and Grabara sidelined long-term, while Conceição, Çelik and González remain unavailable. Napoli miss Lobotka for approximately six weeks plus several other defenders, though Rrahmani and Anguissa are expected to start despite battling the flu this week. Neither side faces suspension issues.
