Juventus look like clear favourites to retain their Serie A crown as they sit seven points clear of their nearest rivals with 12 games left to play. Roma, who are Juventus’ closest challengers have won all of their previous four games in the Serie A but will face a tough test against Napoli this week. Gli Azzurri are five points adrift of Roma at the moment but they can bring the gap down to two if they beat their opponents this week.

The Milan teams are currently not in contention for a guaranteed European spot but there is no doubt that they will be desperate to to climb up the table soon.

This week sees Juventus take on struggling Udinese, while Inter Milan travel to Cagliari and AC Milan host Chievo. Fourth-placed Atalanta also face a difficult task against Fiorentina but must win if they are to remain in the hunt for a Champions League spot.
