Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in Doha will host the Italian Super Cup match between Juventus and Napoli, with Serie A champions and Coppa Italia winners vying for the not so coveted trophy.

The Bianconeri remain the team to beat in Italian Serie A and they are now after their fourth consecutive league title.

The team have finally showed some improvement in Europe, making it through to the Champions League knockout stages, where they will face out-of-sorts Borussia Dortmund.

Meanwhile, Juventus were not make to pay for back to back league draws against Fiorentina and Sampdoria as they again have a three-point advantage at the top with Roma failing to win their weekend’s match.

The Bianconeri could face a tough task against very good Napoli side that beat them 2-0 at Stadio San Paolo last season, although the Serie A holders enjoyed a 3-0 triumph at home.

Juventus can now be backed at 2.00 (1/1) to win the Super Cup match in regulation time, while they are 1.57 (4/7) to lift the trophy.

Leonardo Bonucci returns to the side from a Serie A suspension, but Barzagli, Marrone, Romulo, Asamoah and Caceres are out injured.

Probable starting line-up (4-3-1-2): Buffon – Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Chiellini, Evra – Vidal, Pirlo, Pogba – Marchisio – Tevez, Llorente.

Things have not been going exactly according to plan for Napoli, even if the Azzurri have finally climbed to third place in the standings.

However, chances are they will be again out of the top 3 after today’s league fixtures, although they have other things on their minds at the moment.

Even if Italian Super Cup is not exactly a priority, the Azzurri are keen to show they can match their more illustrious opponents and will certainly give Juventus a real run for their money.

And with Napoli recording a morale-boosting win over Parma in midweek, the Azzurri are available at 2.62 (13/8) to pip the Bianconeri to the trophy.

Raul Albiol is back from suspension, while the likes of Kalidou Koulibaly, Gonzalo Higuain and Jorginho should be recalled.

Meanwhile, Juan Camilo Zuniga, Lorenzo Insigne and Michu are out injured and they are not expected back until after the winter break.

Probable starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Rafael – Maggio, Albiol, Koulibaly, Ghoulam – Jorginho, Lopez – Callejon, Hamsik, Mertens – Higuain.
