Juventus will look to get back to winning ways

It will be a big gameweek in Italy’s Serie A, as four of the top five teams will face off against one another. Juventus suffered their fourth defeat of the season and their second in their last six games, when they were beaten by Fiorentina last weekend. The Old Lady will be hoping to make amends this Sunday but they will not have it easy as fourth-placed Lazio visit the Juventus Stadium.

Simone Inzaghi’s team have bagged the same amount of points as Juventus in the last six games and are currently five points off their weekend opponents, although Massimiliano Allegri’s men have played a game less.

Saturday’s big game in Serie A will see fifth-placed AC Milan host third-placed Napoli in a crunch tie at the San Siro. Gli Azzurri are unbeaten in their previous 10 games in the league but still remain in third place behind Roma and Juventus.

Milan on the other hand, are four points away from a top three position, having played a game less. It will also be a very important game for Roma, as they take on Cagliari, with the chance to go top of the table.
