Napoli will welcome Juve to the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium early on Saturday evening, with the Partenopei seeking to claim three points and keep up their push to win a second championship in the space of three seasons.

As for the Bianconeri, this season has been a struggle under manager Thiago Motta, with the team struggling to convert draws into wins. Club legend Franco Causio has urged Motta to restore a winning mentality to the team in black and white.

“You can’t buy a team’s character at the supermarket, the coach has to bring it to the group, especially if it’s a young team like Juventus,” said Causio. “Motta needs to do some soul-searching, he’s good and deserves time, but everyone makes mistakes and he still has to grow as a coach.”

One of Napoli’s Scudetto rivals, Atalanta, will be in action earlier on Saturday when they face Como at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium while reigning champions Inter Milan will be in action on Sunday afternoon when they visit Lecce at the Ettore Giardiniera Stadium.

Nerazzurri coach Simone Inzaghi recently praised his team for their efforts in the Italian Super Cup, and believes they will set a fearsome pace in Serie A until the end of the campaign: “I feel great pride,” he exclaimed.

“These guys are giving me everything they can over the last three and a half years. With all the matches we have to play, it’s commendable. We have to keep going like this.”

Other matches to watch in this round include AC Milan at home to Parma and a potential thriller between Lazio and Fiorentina at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Sunday night, while Monday night offers up a double delight, as Venezia and Genoa host Verona and Monza respectively – in clashes which will have a huge effect on the relegation battle.
