Serie A: Napoli vs Juventus preview

Napoli will be hoping to avenge a 3-0 defeat in Turin when they face Serie A leaders Juventus on Sunday. The visitors are almost sure of winning the title though, a win at Napoli could take the home side out of the title race for good. Juventus are unbeaten in 22 league matches, they extended that streak with a 2-1 win over Parma on Wednesday, their 15th consecutive home win. Antonio Conte's men are 14 points clear of second-placed Roma with eight games left while Napoli are 20 points behind the leaders. Napoli's hopes of clinching their first title since 1990 are purely theoretical at this point but they are determined to fight for the second place which would give them a better position in next season's Champions League. Napoli have not beaten Juventus since January 2011, a run of six matches. Juventus will be without star striker Carlos Tevez, suspended for the game. The Argentinian forward scored seven goals in the team's last seven games and has a tally of 18 goals in his debut Serie A season. "I'm sad to be missing out on Napoli," Tevez said. "I always want to be involved in every game. On the plus side, I'll be fresh for Lyon in the Europa League." Juventus are unsure of Claudio Marchisio's participation in the game, as he is still struggling with a muscle strain, while Paul Pogba returned from suspension in midweek and should make the first eleven. Napoli should recall Gonzalo Higuain to the starting eleven after the striker was rested for the midweek win over Catania. Here are the odds for Sunday's derby at Bet365: Napoli win - 9/5 Draw - 23/10 Juventus win - 6/4
