#1 Whoever wins, the outcome will be inconsequential to the title race

Even as we witness a possible upset of the applecart in the Premier League and the Bundesliga, Italy's Serie A continues to be a one-upmanship. Juventus are not only unbeaten in the league but also 13 points clear at the top of the table, despite not playing pretty on multiple occasions.

That serves as a testament to the gulf in class and quality between Allegri's men and the rest. The arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo has, in fact, widened the gap as anticipated and the competitiveness of the league is once again called in to question.

With AS Roma and Inter Milan, despite some promising summer business, struggling and AC Milan only finding their feet again, the Bianconeris are so untouchable that whichever way this game takes to, it would hardly make a difference in the title race.

Win, and Juventus effectively cement their eighth title in a row. Lose, and the gap would trim to 10, which is still quite some distance for Ancelotti's men to cover. Either way, it's inconsequential.
