NAP vs JUV Dream11 Team Prediction Tips for Serie A Fixture Napoli vs Juventus 13 February

Napoli vs Juventus Dream11: Old friends, Gennaro Gattuso and Andrea Pirlo take on each other as Juventus travel to Napoli for a Serie A match-up. Napoli is currently 6th in the league but can enter the top 4 with a win against the reigning champions. However, they do now go into this game with the best form, having no wins in their last 3 games, including a 3-1 loss to Atalanta that saw them get knocked out of the Coppa Italia. Juventus, on the other hand, has been steadily progressing in their title defence in a rather uncharacteristic manner and have 6 wins from their last 7 games. They are currently 3rd in the table with a game in hand and a win against Napoli can take them to within 4 points of leaders, AC Milan, and within 2 points of second-placed, Inter.

NAP vs JUV Prediction, Team News, Starting XI

A) Napoli Team News

Injury Report, Unavailability: Napoli have a bit of an injury crisis with first-choice centre-backs, Kalidou Koulibaly and Kostas Manolas, both out injured. They are also without Diego Demme, Dries Mertens, Elseid Hysaj and Faouzi Ghoulam.
Expected changes: David Ospina should start in goal while Koulibaly and Manolas’ absence will mean that Nikola Maksimovic and Amir Rrahmani will start in defence despite poor performances. Tiemoue Bakayoko will partner Eljif Elmas and Piotr Zielinski. Hirving Lozano, Lorenzo Insigne and Victor Osimhen will continue in the frontline.

Napoli Starting XI (probable):

David Ospina (GK)
Giovanni Di Lorenzo
Nikola Maksimovic
Amir Rrahmani
Mario Rui
Tiemoue Bakayoko
Ejif Elmas
Piotr Zielinski
Hirving Lozano
Victor Osimhen
Lorenzo Insigne

B) Juventus Team News

Injury Report, Unavailability: Aaron Ramsey, Arthur and Paulo Dybala are the only players not available for NAP vs JUV Dream11 Prediction.

Wojciech Szczesny has been a mainstay in goal and will play behind Matthijs de Ligt, Giorgio Chiellini and Danilo. Federico Chiesa and Juan Cuadrado can be expected on the flanks with Adrien Rabiot, Rodrigo Bentancur and Weston McKennie playing in the centre of the park. Cristiano Ronaldo and Alvaro Morata should continue to spearhead the attack.

NAP vs JUV Today Match Prediction:

SkyBet: Napoli – 13/5; Juventus – 1

Paddy Power: Napoli – 13/5; Juventus – 1

The NAP vs JUV Today Match Prediction should be an interesting one but Juventus are most likely to grab the win. Cristiano Ronaldo and Alvaro Morata are a very overwhelming duo and having an error-prone centre-back duo playing against them will be a cause for concern for Gattuso. However, Napoli has scored the second-most goals in the league and have an impressive 44 goals in 20 starts while Juventus have conceded the fewest goals in the league which adds more levels to this contest.

Most Likely Result: Juventus win

NAP vs JUV Dream11, Captain & Differential Picks

Captain Options –

Cristiano Ronaldo – With 16 goals and 3 assists in 16 starts this season, Cristiano Ronaldo will undoubtedly be the biggest threat on the pitch. He has also scored 3 goals in their last 3 games, despite facing difficult opponents like Inter and Roma.

Lorenzo Insigne – With 9 goals and 3 assists so far this season, Insigne has been very good this season. He has also created 25 goal-scoring chances and has succeeded in 29 dribbles while maintaining a pass accuracy of 85%. With 24 shots on target, Insigne will look to test the Juve defence every chance he gets.

Alvaro Morata – Starting alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Alvaro Morata seems to have struck up a good partnership with the Portuguese international. He has created 28 chances and has contributed to 11 goals in 13 starts this season.

Differential Picks –

Victor Osimhen – Osimhen looks like he is back to full fitness and will be raring to prove himself. He created 10 goal-scoring chances in 5 starts and his youthful exuberance might prove to be a handful for Juventus.

Federico Chiesa – Chiesa has been excellent for Juventus this season with 10 goal contributions in the league already. He has created 29 goal-scoring chances while succeeding in 30 dribbles this season and whipping in 10 accurate crosses.
