Preview: Napoli vs. Juventus

Sports Mole previews the Serie A encounter between Napoli and Juventus.

Napoli manager Rafael Benitez will be hoping that striker Gonzalo Higuain can continue his form in front of goal when his side host Juventus on Sunday.

After a month without a goal where he spent the majority of his time on the bench, Higuain has re-established himself as the club's first-choice striker with four goals in his last two games.

The Argentine's return to form has coincided with Napoli prevailing from their last three fixtures in all competitions but Gli Azzurri still remain 10 points adrift of their opponents in the league table.

Juventus travel to Stadio San Paolo having seen their lead at the top of the standings reduced to a point after registering three draws in their last six games.

The Bianconeri's draws have come against decent opposition but boss Massimiliano Allegri will be aware that failure to defeat Napoli could see the club fall behind Roma.

Strikers Alvaro Morata and Fernando Llorente continue to struggle in front of goal but Morata could be handed the nod after coming off the bench during the 1-1 draw against Inter Milan.

Napoli:
