SERIE B ......... JUVENTUS - NAPOLI


Massive game in Serie B, when the giants from Turin host the South's premier club.


These two have lost only 5 matches between them in 60 league starts this season. With two promotion spots up for grabs, Juventus are now 4 points clear of second placed Genoa, Napoli a further 2 points adrift.


Serie A needs these two, as much as they both need to play in the top tier of Italian soccer, it would be fitting if they could earn promotion together.


Napoli are a huge club and even in the 3rd division, could command gates in excess of 50,000, they have spent heavily in the transfer market and have a squad capable of competing on a higher stage.


Having overcome the handicap points deduction, Juventus have taken their foot off the gas a little and seem happy to coast back into Serie A. They have got a little sloppy at the back recently and tonight, they will be without Birindelli and Zanetti.


The visitors report no problems and look capable of keeping it close tonight. With the asian handicap start of +1 goal, they look a value bet, a draw would not be a disaster for either and if the "old lady" does take the points, it is likely to be by the odd goal.


4 points Napoli +1 goal 1.94 asian line. lost 2-0 - 4 pts


Good Luck.
