Juventus vs Napoli HYPE thread

[M99]

2nd vs 1st.

14 game winning streak vs 8 game winning streak.

Battle of the two best forwards in Serie A this season, both of whom happen to be of Italian descent: Dybala vs Higuain.

It would be kinda a reach to call it a title decider considering after this game there will still be 30+ points remaining to play for but it is the most important game of the season so far in Serie A.

So if Juve wins, they go on top with a one point lead. Napoli wins and they have a nice 5 point lead. A draw would be favorable for Napoli considering they beat Juve on San Paolo 2-1 and will thus have the superior head to head record.

Honestly, I see this is the game where Juve goes back on top. Napoli have never won on Juventus Stadium and the aggregate score is a whooping 11-1 to Juve's favor. And Juve only conceded one goal in 2016. Juve had their worst start in 103 years and will still retain the title. Shows how far ahead they are of rest of the league. Giving other teams a head start and now they are on the verge of going 1st. I think this is an accurate gif depicting Serie A this season.

I would be in on the hype train if I knew when it reached destination. Do you travel a lot without knowing when?

[Harmonica]

Higuain will finally confirm his status ala Germany 14 and Chile 15, yay or nay.

[Kaladin]

Its gonna be a Juve win and they'll probably win the league and i'm gonna lose the bet with Mole and he'll probably slap me with an avatar of Muntari or Cerci for 3 months

[Doc]

I would like to go with a 2-2 draw where one of the goals Juve score would be rather controversial where Milan fans, Inter fans and myself make many digs at Juve's supposed influence on the league.

Or

Napoli gets hammered into the ground and Higuain gets blamed and shamed and has a potato tossed at him.

[RealGunner]

As much as I love Napoli, I love Juventus equally.

RG is starting to be that guy who would love Celtic and Rangers equally or cheer for Boca and River at the same time.

I love it.

A Juve win is not very decisive here since that would just put us 1pt ahead. Napoli winning it could be.

it will be an awesome game, its in turin, but Juve has a bunch of injuries to key players (Chiellini, Mandzukic, Khedira) and Napoli is at a 100%. They have the most goals scored by some distance with 53 and have Higuain so that will be hard to contain. Juve has the best defense in the league and haven't conceded in 7 games including inter, roma and lazio.

Except for Morata all our players are in form, we'll have to see how we line up without chiellini. We haven't started with a 4-man defense since our winning streak started so you never know.

Probable lineups

Napoli: Reina; Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly, Ghoulam; Allan, Jorginho, Hamsik; Callejon, Higuain, Insigne

Juve: Buffon; Litchsteiner, Barzagli, Bonucci, Evra; Sturaro, Marchisio, Pogba; Cuadrado, Dybala, Morata

Didn't Higuain already carry Napoli past Juventus once this season, and last season?

Psh, he'll do it again as Napoli go on to win the league and end the Old Lady's tyranny.

We beat them twice last season with a 6-2 head to head

[El Blanco Madridista]

Either a draw or a narrow Napoli win. Juve are without Chiellini and Khedira, Napoli have their full squad.

wtf? when was the milan derby? Didn't even know about it lol. Only kept updated on Arsenal and Barcelona/Madrid along with Juve.

[RealGunner]

3-0 ffs.

Don't like inter as much now since they stopped winning 1-0

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Has there been a Milan derby since 2005? I haven't seen one (:

[Curtinho]

We beat them twice last season with a 6-2 head to head

But lost in the Supercoppa on penos where Higuain scored both goals for Napoli and a peno.

Before you are like 'lol supercoppa' the line-ups were basically full strength.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Suppacoppa It's basically a community shield, you know the same charity shield Arsenal have won the last two years.

It's absolutely meaningless.

[zigra]

Dymbito got this

[RealGunner]

Hitman Higuain Vs Dymboito

Absolutely which is why they field full strength squads. They also don't even try in the game at all.



Obviously meaningless.

You say that and I remember Athletic celebrating their Super Cup win like a league trophy.

[RealGunner]

Mole is jealous Newcastle has never won FA cup or PL to be in the community shield

It's as prestigious as the intertoto cup IMO

Also Doc i meant it's meaningless in the big scheme of things in using it as a measuring stick to compare the two teams.
