Call me crazy, but at this point Naples Soccer doesn't have a basic game plan that could win them this match.

They were terrible in last few matches. On their flanks only Armero offers something, Mesto, Zuniga and Maggio suck big time (Mazzari rotates them a lot). As for their CM's, Behrami is amazing in defensive department but can't offer anything upfront, Inler gave the ball away countless times in last two Serie A matches (he was subbed off in both matches), Hamsik's movements are always dangerous, but we will silence him easily. Pandev and Insigne aren't doing much. As for Cavani, he hasn't scored in a while and he is under lot of pressure. You can see it clearly that everyone is looking at him upfront to do something (like they have all season really), but some of his shoots have been amateuristic lately.

Their counter-attacks aren't as dangerous as before, they are awful at possession football when the result forces them to apply it, they suck at set-pieces...

IMO it's clear that we have the upper hand in this one and I'm convinced we will take three points on Friday.

    They are in bad form but this is the perfect game for them to re-gain it back. Don't write them off already.

    The best time for a team to play Juve is when they're in bad form, coz it almost is always considered to be the reigniting part of their season. The form book never counts co playing juve is always a special occasion for these teams. They pull themselves up almost automatically.

    This.

    We should always be wary of teams in shit form. These guys are in pretty bad form at the moment, but this is basically their cup final, playing the team they hate the most in Serie A and attempting to close the gap in the title race.

    Everyone was writing off Roma before we played them. Look how that turned out.

    And Cavani will score, I'm afraid. Probability calculations based on statistics do offer some guidance, despite the fact one can't be 100 % sure. But it's very unlikely that a prolific goalscorer such as Cavani will go 7 games in a row without scoring. That's approaching some Amauri-esque shit, and I just think it's super likely that he will find the net against us.

    I therefore believe we'll have to score at least twice to win.

    I agree with JCK.
    They have two draws in Serie A and I think that they were eliminated from Europa Liga on purpose because they think that they can win scudetto.
    I have two poinst here:
    1.We must be concentrated whole 90 minutes and run for every ball.
    I dont think that we should leave the middle to them.
    2.I am afraid how they make fouls on our players .Its ridicoulus.They always want to brake legs not to interrupt the game.Especcially Behrami,Inler and Cannavaro.
    Matri and Vucinic must help defence.We must play total football.And also keep an eye on Cavani like in the last match.And we should not give them the middle.
    I think that it will be a tricky match they will do upmost to beat us with 60.000 shitters screaming for them(high on cocaine) but if we play our game we will show the bitches that they are a garbage town team nothing more.Yesterday they just stop playing after 70 minutes.

    That too, the team is off form and as Bianconero_Aus it means nothing when playing Juve as it is an automatic cup final where their lives, their wives lives, their kids lives start depending on it. The same thing about Cavani, he has not been finding the net, playing against Juve makes him find his scoring boots again. People taking this game for granted based on Napoli's form should re-calculate their opinion.

    Why whenever I write Naples Soccer it's automatically changed to Naрoli?

    Naрoli, Naрoli, Naрoli, Naрoli, Naрoli.

    It's gonna be hell on earth down there, no doubt.

    If someone were to offer a draw right now I'd bite their hand off. If we manage to win we should all get nekked.

    it's quite easy to predict this will be a repeat of glasgow match... garbage club will likely press like madmen from the start... hopefuly we can absorb their pressure well enough and tire them in the 2nd half then score.

    an early goal to us will be even better.
