From the source

Allianz Stadium forms the backdrop for a high-stakes Serie A clash between the underachieving heavyweights Juventus and Napoli. Sunday’s fixture could be a ‘make-or-break’ test for home manager Luciano Spalletti, whose future in Turin is hanging by a thread.

Spalletti could not have imagined a worse way to celebrate his 50th match in charge of Juventus as Genoa beat the record-time Italian champions 2-0 in midweek Serie A action, leaving them a whopping 11 points behind joint leaders Lazio and Inter.

Already a year into his tenure at the Allianz, the former Napoli boss has largely failed to meet expectations. Another poor performance from Juventus could spell the end of Spalletti’s reign, with the Bianconeri enduring their worst nine-game Serie A start since 2016/17.
