Juventus v Napoli betting odds for 22 December had Juve with 4/5 odds, Napoli at 3/1 and the Draw at 5/2. 86% of the action for this matchup at Bookmaker.eu was on Juventus.
"It's not true that Napoli are hungrier than we are," Bianconeri coach Massimiliano Allegri told his club's official website this past weekend.
Carlos Tevez will come into this game with 13 goals on the season but there are some concerns over his fitness.
"We secured our first target of the season by qualifying for the Champions League last 16," Allegri said. "Now it's time for our second target. The Super Cup is a tournament we all want to win.
"I don't think Napoli's only aim is to lift the Super Cup. I think they'll try to get back into the title race if possible, or if not battle for third place, which I think is an important target for the teams in the mix. It gives you a place in the Champions League play-offs.
"Tevez made the difference for us in the first six matches and a Champions League game at home to Malmo. He scored a lot of goals and played a key role throughout games.
"He's clearly not 100 per cent fit at the moment but he's such a big player he can still make the difference at any time. How do I manage him? We're off on holiday on Tuesday so he'll have eight days' break [after the clash with Napoli]."
Juve will be at a slight disadvantage due to injuries to Andrea Barzagli (Achilles), Kwadwo Asamoah (knee), Romulo (groin) and Martin Caceres (thigh).
Napoi have contested the Coppa Italia final and a UEFA Champions League play-off with Athletic Bilbao in 2014.
