Juventus has won the title in each of the last six seasons, while Napoli is bidding for its first since 1990. Napoli will go into the delayed winter break top of Serie A after beating relegation-threatened Hellas Verona 2-0 on Saturday. Roma could have moved level with third-place Inter Milan, which is nine points below Napoli, but lost 2-1 at home to Atalanta and is fifth. After playing over the festive period for the first time, Serie A will resume on Jan. 21. Juventus kept the pressure on leader Napoli after finally breaking through Cagliari’s defence with a 74th-minute goal from Federico Bernardeschi.
