Two clubs in the top half of the Serie A table will do battle today in a league match between Juventus and Napoli. The first-division clash is scheduled for 12 p.m. ET and can be live streamed here free.
What They're Saying
Juventus manager Max Allegri (via Football Italia): "I'm just happy about what we've done so far, and what we're doing with this campaign. We must enjoy this extraordinary moment. As I've often said, seasons like this occur very rarely in one's career."
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis (via Football Italia): "If I start talking, I'll never stop. Why don't I stop? Ever since I was born, I haven't been able to sit still."
The In-Form Player
If Juventus are to have any chance of defeating Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League final, Paul Pogba must return to form and match fitness. In 24 league appearances, the 22-year-old has eight goals and an average of 1.4 key passes. He'll look to utilize minutes in Turin to his advantage.
Projected Lineups
Juventus (4-3-1-2): Buffon; Ceglie, Ogbonna, Bonucci, Padoin; Sturaro, Marchisio, Pogba; Pereyra; Morata, Tevez
Napoli (4-2-3-1): Andujar; Ghoulam, Britos, Albiol, Maggio; Lopez, Jorginho; Mertens, Hamsik, Callejon; Higuain
