With eight days to go until the end of an atypical season in the A series, the bianconero color seems to take shape for another ‘Scudetto’ of Juventus Turin Cristiano and company. Undisputed leaders in the domestic competition after the return of the Italian tournament by adding three by three in all their matches, Sarri's men march 'smooth sailing' to collect another title sooner rather than later in their showcases.
Leaving the band the setbacks they suffered in the Coppa when falling in the final against Napoli by Gennaro Gattuso, the truth is that the whole of Turin continues to rise with a great performance by several of its figures, especially the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, that before Torino
broke his fe gafe ’
with the free kicks after his arrival to the Italian team, and above all, the young Argentine Paulo Dybala, who after the break has scored in every Serie A match.
Today, Italy will live perhaps one of the best ‘classics’ that one can witness from the sofa. Milan and Juventus they meet at the San Siro at 9:45 pm, at a time when they are both in their best shape. The Milanese, who won 0-3 on their previous day against Juve's top pursuer such as Simone Inzaghi's Lazio, want to continue along the same line and not loosen in the decisive stage to be able to enter Europe facing the next season. An almost obligatory premise to retain its maximum exponent in the attack such as the Swedish veteran Zlatan Ibrahimovic, which has not yet cleared its future, despite the fact that the Rossoneri fans are asking for its continuity.
Maurizio Sarri he will not speculate and put his entire “arsenal” on the field, knowing that he can take an almost definitive step towards the title. Therefore, in the middle of the field you will bet with Miralem Pjanic to lead the team and Higuain He could start as the ‘Joya’ will not be present as he is sanctioned for accumulating yellows, as is De Ligt.
As for the other top contender for the title fight, the Lazio He will measure his state of mind at 7:30 p.m. against the modest Lecce, team that occupies relegation positions. A duel that seems decisive for the two teams, given that the result will fully determine their interests. The Romans will seek to clear the ghosts after the hard stumble against Milan in order to regain confidence and not put the Scudetto Juventus. For this, Inzaghi will use the top gunner of the Serie A, of Ciro Immobile, which accumulates a whopping 29 points. Without a doubt his best year.
