Napoli look well set to win their first Scudetto since 1990 but are faltering in the final stages and a resurgent Juventus could add to their anxiety in Turin.
The Partenopei crashed out of the Champions League on Tuesday courtesy of their 1-1 draw against AC Milan and need to rediscover the edge they enjoyed in the first half of the season.
Juve's 1-1 draw against Sporting Lisbon saw them through to the semi-finals of the Europa League and their exemplary home record hints that they could shine again.
The Bianconeri's 11 wins from 15 home games have been crucial in their push for a Champions League finish and Napoli's woes hint that they can make it a dozen on Sunday.
Juventus vs Napoli Betting Tips
- Juventus to win @ 13/8
- Adrien Rabiot - Anytime Goalscorer @ 18/5
Team news
Juventus will be without Bremer, who came off against Sporting with a thigh injury and Federico Gatti is expected to come in.
He could be joined in the back-line by fellow defender Alex Sandro, who is available again for Serie A action after suspension but Moise Kean is likely to miss out due to a flexor issue.
Kin Min-jae and Andre-Frank Anguissa are available after serving European bans and Kim could partner Amir Rrahmani at the back but only if the Kosovan can shake off an ankle injury.
Mario Rui and Matteo Politano both came off against Milan and will miss out here with respective leg and ankle issues.
Mathias Olivera and Hirving Lozano are expected to replace Rui and Politano, respectively, while Zambo Anguissa could come in for Tanguy Ndombele in midfield.

Juventus to win @ 13/8
Napoli's draw against Milan means they have won just one of their last five games and it is tough to avoid the temptation to suggest that they are mentally and physically fatigued.
They looked devoid of the spark that characterised their early season form during their two legs against Milan, as well as in last Saturday's 0-0 draw against Verona.
Juventus' form has also been mixed but they still have plenty to play for, with the Coppa Italia and Europa League both up for grabs and their home form is impressive, losing just once in the league.
Massimilano Allegri will likely set his side up to frustrate Napoli and a Correct Score to look for could be the 7/1 available for a 1-0 home win.
Adrien Rabiot - Anytime Goalscorer @ 18/5
Juve have shared the goals around this season and a player who has increasingly popped up is Adrien Rabiot.
The Frenchman scored in the week against Sporting and is having an impressive season in the goalscoring stakes, netting 13 times for club and country.
In a tight game, chances could be at a premium and Rabiot has shown he can take opportunities when they come his way.
Considering his record this season, the 28-year-old looks a good price to score what could prove the game's only goal.
