Turin, Italy (SportsNetwork.com) - Two of the top three teams in Serie A will get together on Sunday as Juventus entertains Napoli with both sides chasing Roma at the top of the table.
The two teams enter the contest on 28 points from 11 matches, three points adrift of Roma, and both would love to keep the heat on the capital club with a win.
Since suffering its lone defeat against Fiorentina on Oct. 20, Juve has won its last three games in Serie A by a combined score of 7-0, and is coming off of a 2-2 draw with Real Madrid in the Champions League in midweek.
Like Juventus, Napoli is also on a three-game winning streak in the league and the club secured a 3-2 triumph in the Champions League on Wednesday over Marseille, giving the team a bit of momentum heading into Sunday's contest.
The Old Lady captured a 2-0 win in this fixture last season, while Napoli was only able to earn one draw in three matches in all competitions against Juve last term.
Roma won its first 10 games to start the season before being held to a 1-1 draw by Torino last weekend, and Rudi Garcia's men will be out to return to the win column on Sunday at home against 18th-place Sassuolo, which owns two wins this season.
Inter Milan sits in fourth place and hopes to close the gap on the top three with a victory on Saturday against Livorno at the San Siro.
The Nerazzurri is six points back of both Napoli and Juventus, and Walter Mazzarri's team will try to snap a run of only two wins from the past six league matches.
Surprise package Hellas Verona hopes to continue its strong start as the fifth-place side travels to Genoa, while AC Milan attempts to break a three- match winless run when the team visits last-place Chievo, which owns just one win from 11 games.
Udinese takes on Catania at the Angelo Massimino with Catania riding a five- game winless streak, Bologna aims to capture its third victory of the campaign when the club hits the road to face Atalanta, Torino and Cagliari are separated by two points ahead of their meeting at the Stadio San Elia, Parma plays host to Lazio and Fiorentina tries to move into the top five with a home victory against bottom-half Sampdoria.
