Juventus Hosts Napoli for Serie A Clash at Allianz Stadium

This Saturday, September 21, 2024, Allianz Stadium in Turin, Italy, will be the site of an exciting Serie A match between Juventus and Napoli. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. local time, corresponding to 5 p.m. in the United Kingdom and 12 p.m. Eastern Time in the United States.

Juventus manager Thiago Motta has announced the lineup featuring a 4-2-3-1 formation. The starting XI includes Di Gregorio in goal, with a defensive line comprising Savona, Kalulu, Bremer, and Cambiaso. The midfield is anchored by Locatelli and McKennie, with attacking support from Nico Gonzalez, Koopmeiners, and Yildiz, while Vlahovic leads the attack.

On the bench for Juventus are Perin, Pinsoglio, Gatti, Danilo, Adzic, Thuram, Fagioli, Weah, Douglas Luiz, Cabal, Rouhi, and Mbangula. Motta remains confident in his choices despite injury concerns for Federico Gatti and the absence of Arkadiusz Milik and Francisco Conceicao.

Napoli, managed by Antonio Conte, enters the match with a 3-5-2 formation. Alex Meret will guard the goal, supported by defenders Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, and Buongiorno. Politano, Anguissa, Lobotka, McTominay, and Olivera will compose the midfield, while Kvaratskhelia and Lukaku lead the offensive front.

Sitting on the bench for Napoli are Contini, Caprile, Baranovskiy, Juan Jesus, Gilmour, David Neres, Marin, Simeone, Zerbin, Ngonge, Mazzocchi, Spinazzola, Raspadori, and Folorunsho. McTominay receives his first start for Napoli, adding a new dynamic to Conte’s squad.

Both teams are aiming to strengthen their standings in the league. Juventus have recently experienced a stumbling block in Serie A following back-to-back goalless matches but are buoyed by their 3-1 success against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League. Napoli, after a slow start to the season with a 3-0 loss, have rebounded strongly with victories over their last three opponents.

The match will be broadcast live, with coverage on Fox Deportes in the United States and TLN in Canada. Fans can also stream the game through platforms such as fuboTV, Foxsports.com, and DAZN Italy, among others. It promises to be an engaging encounter as both teams vie for a vital three points.
