Juventus 2-0 SPAL: 5 talking points | Serie A 2019/20

#4 Will Juventus overtake Internazionale?

UC Sampdoria v FC Internazionale - Serie A

The vibrant Nerazzuri have successfully picked up yet another win away against Sampdoria. They sit two strong points above Juventus who played a goaless draw against Fiorentina two weeks ago.

In the next match, Inter will host the Bianconeri in what promises to be a thrilling encounter at the San Siro stadium. Juventus have taken on a strong Napoli and beaten them, while Inter were totally in control during the Milan derby against AC Milan.

If the Juventini beat Internazionale in the next clash, positions will swap at the top of the table, and Juventus will be on top with just a point's difference. If, however, the Nerazzuri win, Juventus will remain in second place with a difference of five points.

The next match has the capacity to set off a chain of events that could lead to Internazionale's first title win in ten years, and put an end to the Bianconeri's Scudetti stranglehold.

#3 Juventus need to work on their discipline

Juventus v SPAL - Serie A

Juventus commited 13 fouls, compared to SPAL's nine. They picked up two yellow cards during the game, which adds to their total of 14 yellow cards in just six Serie A matches. They've also averaged a high 14 fouls per game since the season started, and that average needs to go down sooner rather than later.

Nearly every starting Juventini player committed a foul during this game except Buffon, de Ligt, Matuidi, and Ronaldo. Even Emre Can who came on board an hour into the game managed to commit two fouls and pick up a yellow card in a short time.

Matthijs de Ligt was a rare Juve defender who did not commit a foul.
