Stadio Diego Armando Maradona - Napoli
Napoli have won seven games in a row in Serie A for the first time since the period between January and February 2023 (eight in that case under Luciano Spalletti).
Napoli have achieved at least 17 victories in the first 22 matches played in a single Serie A season for only the third time in their history, after 2017/18 (season finished in second place) and 2022/23 (winning the Scudetto).
Romelu Lukaku have scored against Juventus his 200th goal in the Big-5 European leagues. The Belgian has been involved in at least one goal (including assists) in four consecutive Serie A appearances for the first time since the period between April and June 2023 (seven consecutive matches in that case).
Juventus are both the team that have won the most matches (71) and the one that has scored the most goals (227) against Napoli in Serie A (37 Neapolitan victories and 49 draws in 157 Serie A encounters).
Napoli have won six of their last 10 games against Juventus in Serie A (D2 L2), at least two more wins against the Bianconeri than any other team in the top-flight since the start of 2020.
Napoli and Juventus will face each other with the Azzurri having a gap of 13 points in the standings over the Bianconeri; this is the third-largest advantage in favour of the Neapolitan team in a match between these two teams in the history of Serie A, after the two occasions in which Napoli faced Juventus with a 16-point gap (23rd April 2023 and 17th April 1988).
Napoli are enjoying their longest ever streak of consecutive home victories against Juventus in Serie A (5, with an aggregate score of 12-4) and they could become only the third team to beat the Bianconeri for more than five home games in a row in the history of the top-flight after Roma (6 between 1937 and 1941), Inter (8 between 1935 and 1943) and Fiorentina (6 between 1960 and 1964).
Napoli have won 16 of their first 21 games in Serie A this term (D2 L3) and could reach 17 victories in their first 22 matches in a single top-flight season for only the third time in their history, after 2017-18 (finished 2nd) and 2022-23 (finished 1st).
