It’s a big weekend in the Italian Serie A, as second-placed Juventus, takes on Victor Osimhen’s Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium.

Juventus, who are now 12 points behind leaders Inter Milan, will be looking to cut the deficit short to nine points by grabbing a win over their rivals in Naples.

As Inter Milan looks out of reach for the Old Ladies, Massimiliano Allegri still feels Juventus can lay claim to the Sçudetto but is also conscious of the threat posed by Nigerian goal machine, Victor Osimhen.

Osimhen has had four goal contributions in his last six matches against the Old Lady, and Allegri has admitted that he adds another dimension to the team

He said, as quoted by Tuttomercatoweb:

“Regardless of last year, Juve haven’t won in Naples for 5 years, it would be nice to get a result but it won’t be easy.

Osimhen has brought some certainties back, we know his qualities but like everyone else, We’ll have to play a careful game and try to play the ball into the opponent’s half of the field.”

Osimhen will be looking to make it six goals since his return from the African Cup of Nations, after netting against Leeçe, a Hattrick against Sassuolo and a lone goal against Barçelona in the Champions League.
