CAGLIARI - JUVENTUS January 12, 2014 - 3:00 PM Sant'Elia Stadium — Cagliari Referee: Marco Guida HT 1-1: Juve get Cagliari scare Jan 12, 2014 Leaders Juventus are held 1-1 by Cagliari at half-time and can thank Gigi Buffon’s heroics in Sardinia. http://markting10.nl/ The Bianconeri went into this game on cloud nine, having won 10 in a row and crushed Roma to go eight points clear at the top of the table. The Winter Champion crown was already secured and Antonio Conte only missed the suspended Andrea Barzagli. Cagliari had lost star midfielder Radja Nainggolan with his move to Roma, while Nene, Sebastian Eriksson and Michael Agazzi were out, but they were unbeaten in seven. Only 5,000 fans were allowed into the Stadio Sant’Elia due to restructuring work, but Manchester United manager David Moyes was among those in the stands, reportedly to watch Cagliari defender Davide Astori. It was Cagliari who took a shock lead from a worked corner, which was knocked on by Daniele Conti for the unmarked Mauricio Pinilla to fire in from seven yards at the back post. It was a crucial morale-booster for the Chilean, who had missed a penalty in last week’s 0-0 draw with Chievo. http://markting10.nl/ It was almost 2-0 soon after, as from another corner kick Conti was allowed a free header over the bar. Gigi Buffon then leapt to palm a Pinilla snapshot round the upright, but Juventus drew level thanks to Fernando Llorente. The Spaniard soared above Rossettini to nod a Stephan Lichtsteiner cross into the top corner. Cagliari were still very sharp and Daniele Dessena got on top of Kwadwo Asamoah to get a diving header on to Nicola Murru’s cross, forcing a spectacular reaction save from Buffon. Adan smothered an Arturo Vidal rocket and Lichtsteiner failed to finish off a good Asamoah assist. http://markting10.nl/ Cagliari 1-1 Juventus (Half-Time) Scorers: Pinilla 20 (C ), Llorente 31 (J) CAGLIARI: Adan; Pisano, Rossettini, Astori, Murru; Dessena, Conti, Ekdal; Cossu; Pinilla, Sau JUVENTUS: Buffon; Caceres, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Pogba, Asamoah; Tevez, Llorente Ref: Guida http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

CAGLIARI - JUVENTUS January 12, 2014 - 3:00 PM Sant'Elia Stadium — Cagliari Referee: Marco Guida Line-ups: Cagliari-Juventus Jan 12, 2014 Juventus seek an 11th consecutive victory, but face a Cagliari side who are unbeaten in seven rounds. http://markting10.nl/ It kicks off in Sardinia at 15.00 CET. Only 5,000 fans will be allowed into the Stadio Sant’Elia, as the venue is undergoing restructuring work. Antonio Conte’s men are already Winter Champions and eight points clear at the top of the Serie A table after thumping nearest rivals Roma 3-0. http://markting10.nl/ They’ve won their last 10 rounds and are seeking a club record 11th, but Cagliari are without defeat in seven Serie A games. Andrea Barzagli sits out a ban and is replaced in the back three by Martin Caceres, while Carlos Tevez is again partnered by Fernando Llorente. Cagliari sold star midfielder Radja Nainggolan to Roma this week and have Nene, Sebastian Eriksson and Michael Agazzi out of action. http://markting10.nl/ CAGLIARI: Adan; Pisano, Rossettini, Astori, Murru; Dessena, Conti, Ekdal; Cossu; Pinilla, Ibarbo JUVENTUS: Buffon; Caceres, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Pogba, Asamoah; Tevez, Llorente Juventus bench: Storari, Rubinho, Ogbonna, Peluso, Pepe, Padoin, Marchisio, Vucinic, Giovinco, Quagliarella http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

CAGLIARI - JUVENTUS January 12, 2014 - 3:00 PM Sant'Elia Stadium — Cagliari Referee: Marco Guida Cagliari-Juventus Preview: Round 19 — Hitting the midway point Jan 11, 2014 The beginning of 2014 looked a lot like the end of 2013 — Juventus beating the competition in Serie A by a considerable margin on the scoreboard. Juve recorded a shutout, just like so many other matches have ended over the course of the current 10-game winning streak. http://markting10.nl/ This Juventus is different than the one that started out the season. I think I'm not the only one who recognizes that. And since we'll officially hit the midway point in less than 24 hours, Juventus' game against Cagliari in Sardinia is the final game of the first half of the season. Eighteen Serie A games have come and gone this season. Through those 18 games, Juventus are eight points clear of the competition following last Sunday's 3-0 triumph over Roma. But don't tell that to Antonio Conte, who had this to say at his pre-match press conference on Saturday morning. http://markting10.nl/ "We need to keep showing consistency. The win over Roma is now forgotten about, it's part of the past and it would be very dangerous if that weren't the case." If that's not a classic pre-match Conte line, I don't know what is. Yes, Juventus are officially winter champions following their win over Roma. But Conte doesn't just want the winter title in his pocket, he wants the everything that comes with that pretty trophy at the end of the season. I can't say I blame him. He's kinda here for Scudetto-winning reasons in the first place. And even though Juventus have the chance to win a record 11th straight game tomorrow afternoon against Cagliari, Conte's eyes are on the big picture. http://markting10.nl/ JuventusFC ✔ @juventusfcen Conte: Records are made to be beaten, but it's the final goal that's more important as far as I'm concerned. #CagliariJuve To be honest, that's what he should be concerned about. As you were, Antonio. http://markting10.nl/ GOOD NEWS Juventus winning streak update: 10 games, 26 goals scored, 1 goal allowed. This has been a Juventus winning streak update. http://markting10.nl/ BAD NEWS Andrea Barzagli is suspended due to yellow card accumulation. To some, like me, this is bad news because Andrea Barzagli is one of the most awesome players there is. But with the bad news comes this piece of good news: Martin Caceres will get playing time because of Barzagli's suspension. And that, for people like me, means they will be wearing their socks a little higher than normal because we love us some Caceres. JuventusFC ✔ @juventusfcen Conte: Barzagli's suspended for tomorrow and we're evaluating our options in defence. Caceres represents an excellent solution #CagliariJuve Okay, so maybe Caceres playing isn't such bad news. http://markting10.nl/ WHAT TO WATCH FOR 1. How Cagliari defends Andrea Pirlo. Some teams like somebody directly in Pirlo's grill, other teams give him all the space he wants to operate. How Cagliari's predicted 4-3-1-2 formation goes about defending Pirlo will be an interesting case. Do they have their trequartista, Andrea Cossu, try some kind of marking on Pirlo? Or will they go about things differently? We've seen teams play off of Pirlo and then pay for it dearly. But not a lot of teams have a natural marker in place like Cagliari's formation essentially does. http://markting10.nl/ 2. Fernando Llorente's impact. It's not like Llorente has suddenly gone back to being a player off his game. Maybe he's simply cooled off a bit from when he first became a regular starter under Conte. The big Spaniard has scored one goal in his last five games in all competitions, which isn't so bad considering he's contributed in other areas. But I'm pretty sure I share the line of thinking that it would be nice to get El Rey León a goal, right? He's come a long way since he's broken into the lineup, and to get him going on all cylinders once again would be such a huge boost to what is a Juve side that has scored a Serie A-high 42 goals this season. http://markting10.nl/ 3. The Radja Nainggolan-less Cagliari midfield. Nainggolan leaving Cagliari during the January transfer window was seemingly inevitable. They knew when it was going to happen. It wasn't a matter of if, just a matter of when Nainggolan would be on his way and sign with a bigger team. That day came this past Tuesday when Nainggolan joined Roma on loan for the rest of the season. You'd like to think that Cagliari were planning for life without Radja over the winter break because the inevitable was almost upon them — and now it is. http://markting10.nl/ 4. Where Cagliari's offense may or may not come from. Cagliari enter the weekend with the chance to say they have something in common with Roma — their leading scorer(s) have only recorded four goals all season. The difference, obviously, is that Cagliari doesn't have the crazy-good kind of goal differential that Roma has this season. Cagliari's two starting strikers — Victor Ibarbo and Marco Sau — have combined for six goals all season. Just to put that in perspective, Carlos Tevez has nearly doubled that number on his own this season. When you're going against a damn good defense like Juventus has, that's not exactly a recipe for success for Cagliari. http://markting10.nl/ 5. If the Juventus train can keep on rolling. Like I said, Juve have the chance to do what hasn't been accomplished since the early 1930s — win 11 straight games. Juventus have gone from looking up at Roma in the league table to having a nice comfortable lead atop the mountain in a hurry. It's been a rapid rise, thanks in large part to the post-Fiorentina embarrassment winning streak. Conte has made it no secret that he doesn't want any kind of complacency from his team even though their lead over Roma has reached a season-high eight points. And who are we to disagree with Antonio? I know i won't. My starting XI (3-5-2): Buffon; Caceres, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Pogba, Asamoah; Llorente, Tevez http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Buffon: 'Insinuations amuse me' Jan 12, 2014 Gigi Buffon again slammed those who criticise Serie A leaders Juventus. “Insinuations actually please me.” http://markting10.nl/ The goalkeeper had already pointed out suggestions the Bianconeri win with ‘help’ was used as a ready excuse for those lacking their level of success. “The fact there are still people today making insinuations on our victories actually pleases me in a way, because it means Juve are back to scaring the opposition,” smiled Buffon on JTV. “As I already said, that is the alibi for those who do not win and the best justification they can give to their fans. http://markting10.nl/ “Juve have the same role as the butler in a murder mystery – he always did it! Now that I am 36, all of this doesn’t touch me. In fact, it makes me quite proud.” The title holders can notch up a record 11th consecutive victory this afternoon when they visit Cagliari. “Last season, between Christmas and New Year, we had a 10-point advantage over second place. In January we struggled and Napoli caught us up. We learned from that experience and are keeping our foot firmly on the accelerator. http://markting10.nl/ “Udinese caused us a huge amount of trouble on home turf, because they have a great tactician. I must also say Roma impressed me for 50-60 minutes. Fiorentina are the only side who beat us, though on top of their talents, we gave them a helping hand that day. “I am happy with what I’m doing and what I have done, but I am not remotely sated. That is what pushes me on to keep improving. I always want a new challenge. “I’m sure there will be a new Buffon, maybe someone even better than me. He has probably been born and is already in training as we speak. He may well be deciding whether or not to become a goalkeeper. http://markting10.nl/ “There are some very good goalkeepers out there, like Nicola Leali, Mattia Perin and Francesco Bardi. “I am very proud to be the captain of Juventus and never would’ve believed it a few years ago. At times I try to avoid thinking about being a reference point for the fans and teammates, just in case the enormity of it intimidates me. “The initial criticism was excessive, but when you have a lot of experience it’s the type of thing that wakes you up, makes you feel alive again and want to prove yourself all over. This is the essence of our job, the essence of being a top level sportsman.” http://markting10.nl/ Buffon also remembered back to his howler against Lecce, when he let a timid shot slip through his grasp, two years ago in Turin. “A second after the ball rolled into the net, I heard the chants of support and affection from the crowd. It was priceless.”

CAGLIARI - JUVENTUS January 12, 2014 - 3:00 PM Sant'Elia Stadium — Cagliari Referee: Marco Guida Cagliari vs. Juventus PREVIEW – Sunday Sant’Elia Skirmish Jan 11, 2014 Last week Juventus returned from their Winter Break with an emphatic win over second place (and previously unbeaten) Roma. This week Juventus travel to… well, I wasn’t really 100% sure at first. Does Cagliari have their own steady home yet? I seriously had to ask myself this. Last I heard, they were still playing in Trieste, which may very well be as far away from Sardinia as one can possibly get while still remaining in Italy. But upon further research, it appears this will be Juve’s first trip to Sant’Elia since 2010-11. At the very least Trieste may have provided good karma for Juventus, as Juventus won its first Conte-era Scudetto there nearly two years ago. http://markting10.nl/ Whatever, enough of all that, on Sunday Juventus will travel somewhere in order to face a Radja Nainggolan-less Cagliari. For I Bianconeri, it will be a quest to win eleven straight. Gli Isolani, meanwhile, will look to keep an unbeaten run which began in November intact. Avanti. http://markting10.nl/ JUVENTUS Last week Juventus were all like “Roma? More like ‘don’t Romaround here no more, less ya wanna get smacked 3-0, amirite!’” It what was *the* decisive matchup to date, save for last November’s game against Napoli which ended in the exact same result, during which they extended a streak which began four weeks prior to that tie. In total, over the past 11 matches, Juventus have outscored their opponents an obscene 26-1. They are now eight points clear of first place and confirmed winter champions — their fastest start to this point in the season under Antonio Conte. http://markting10.nl/ As well as going full steam, Juventus are at mostly full strength, although Andrea Barzagli is suspended due to yellow card accumulation. Luckily this squad is deep — and I mean DEEP. Juventus currently have no less than two defenders who could step into almost any other defense in Italy and start in Angelo Ogbonna and Martin Caceres. Look for the right-footed Caceres to understudy for Barzagli on Sunday. Other than that, with the Europa league not set to begin until over a month from now, I am not expecting much of any squad rotation — the one exception being that I can see Claudio Marchisio getting a chance to regain some confidence against a mid table team. Even that, however, is unlikely. Probable Formation: (3-5-2) - Buffon; Caceres, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Pogba, Asamoah; Tevez, Llorente http://markting10.nl/ CAGLIARI Cagliari is a tricky team to face, and have been the past couple of years. Although they’re decidedly mid-table, they are the type who can upset the big fish in Serie A. They are also in the midst of a very good run of form – particularly for their standards – unbeaten in their last seven, dating all the way back to the first weekend of November. The bad news is that five of those seven non-losses were draws but there’s more good news; they’re only a point behind Milan! Whoops, more bad news — this is not 2011 or 2012 Milan, they’re in 11th place. At any rate, Cagliari will be hoping to defend their house (finally “their house” once again!) against le capoliste without some key players. According to Football Italia, they will have to do without forward Nene and midfielder Sebastian Eriksson, both out injured and they *just* sold perhaps their most prized asset, Radja Nainggolan, to Roma. Not only does this weaken I Rossoblu, but it gives I Giallorossi yet *another* midfielder who could start over Arturo Vidal for coach Rudi Garcia to choose from, mannaggia! I seriously…cannot…help myself. Probable Formation: (4-3-1-2)- Adan; Pisano, Rossettini, Astori, Murru; Dessena, Conti, Ekdal; Cossu; Ibarbo, Pinilla http://markting10.nl/ Post Calciopoli versions of Juventus, including Conte’s versions, have had a tendency to fall into a mid-winter funk. They did two years ago, with a series of drab draws. Last January they only managed a single win, along with one loss and two draws. Perhaps this makes last week’s win even more impressive in retrospect, and important moving forward. With Antonio Conte keeping the engine running, it looks as if la macchina Juve (I made that up myself!) is running at full steam, at a vital part of the year. Whilst the past two winter funks have been what kept the Scudetto race close to the end, this year it could allow Juventus to pull away much earlier — something the “moderately satisfied” coach would relish. Especially if the Europa League is a serious target for Juventus. Seriously, I love this guy. Best league start ever, potentially record breaking run of form, and he’s as happy as I’d be if I were bored on a Saturday night and found Goodfellas on cable for the 43,000th time. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

CAGLIARI - JUVENTUS January 12, 2014 - 3:00 PM Sant'Elia Stadium — Cagliari Referee: Marco Guida Cagliari vs Juventus Serie A Match preview Jan 11, 2014 After impressive win in last round against Roma, Juventus will visit Sardinia and try to continue their tremendous form. Cagliari welcomes them on a seven match unbeaten run, but with three consecutive draws. http://markting10.nl/ Cagliari board, alongside president Cellino isn’t happy at all with comportment by city’s administration regarding construction of club’s new stadium. Last three seasons they’ve fought and struggled to get clearances and to reconstruct or build new venue but every single effort has been put on hold because of inadequate laws that prevent club owners to build stadiums on their own. On top of that, city administration brought an act which says that no more than 5.000 spectators can attend Cagliari games at stadium Sant’Elia due to security reasons. This frustrates Cagliari faithful as they are heavily obstructed in watching their team at home. This verdict will also prevent Juventus fans to come in numbers and watch champions play another game. However, game is scheduled and will be played tomorrow at 15:00h (Central European Time). Cagliari currently holds firm mid-table position, just below Lazio and Milan on 10th and 11th place. They are having hard times winning their games but they haven’t recorded defeat for more than two months. http://markting10.nl/ Juventus on the other hand holds a 10 game winning streak, scoring 22 and conceding only one goal in process. Conte’s side occupy first place on standings, eight more than second placed Roma. Bianconeri coach has no injury worries, and can be extremely happy with form his team has been displaying lately. Cagliari will be without Nene, Eriksson and goalkeeper Vlada Avramov. Also, it’s worth mentioning that this team parted ways with probably their best player Radja Nainggolan. Belgian midfielder transferred to Roma on Tuesday. Last season Juventus took all three points away from home against Cagliari, but were held to a draw in Turin. When we look at history of clashes between these two sides, it becomes clear that Juventus recorded much more success. With 75 official games played, Cagliari won only 14 of them. Old Lady from Turin managed to defeat islanders on 33 occasions. http://markting10.nl/ Interestingly, former Juventus player Alessandro Matri is the player with most goals against Cagliari. A club he played for just before joining Juventus. If Juventus continues to play like this, and gather 2.72 points per game, they will end this season up with 103 points, which will be Serie A new record. Coach Conte expressed his will to achieve that, earlier this week. We’ll see if his team can do that, but they need to beat tough Cagliari side first. Game will be refereed by Marco Guida from Pompei. Guida has been already appointed on two games between these clubs. Last time Cagliari took home a valuable point from Turin. http://markting10.nl/ Probable Lineups Cagliari (4-3-1-2): Adan; Murru, Astori, Rossettini, Pisano; Ekdal, Conti, Dessena; Cossu; Ibarbo, Pinilla. Juventus (3-5-2): Buffon; Caceres, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Pogba, Asamoah; Llorente, Tevez.

CAGLIARI - JUVENTUS January 12, 2014 - 3:00 PM Sant'Elia Stadium — Cagliari Referee: Marco Guida Cagliari v Juventus: Preview Jan 11, 2014 Juventus defender Andrea Barzagli is warning his team-mates not to be dazzled by their impressive run as they prepare to visit Cagliari on Sunday. http://markting10.nl/ The Turin giants are eight points clear of Roma at the top of Serie A heading into the halfway point of the season. They travel to Sardinia having won their last 10 league games, including a 3-0 triumph over Roma in their first game of 2014. "It was important to win against Roma because they are our direct rivals for the scudetto," Barzagli said. "However, the scudetto is not in our pocket. http://markting10.nl/ "There are still 20 games left to play and we still have a lot of work to do. "Eight points is a good advantage but we cannot get carried away by our current position and our good run of form. "We have to continue to work hard and remain focused." http://markting10.nl/ Juve coach Antonio Conte is expected to keep changes to the side that beat Roma to a minimum although the visitors will have to overcome the absence of Barzagli, who is suspended. Martin Caceres is set to replace Barzagli in defence while Fernando Llorente will partner Carlos Tevez up front. Cagliari coach Diego Lopez is aware his side will need to be at their very best if they are to end Juventus' impressive form at the Sant' Elia stadium. http://markting10.nl/ Juve have shown no signs of weakness, scoring 26 goals and giving away just one in their last 10 league games. "We know we face a very difficult game," Lopez said. "We cannot afford to make any mistakes because Juve will take no time in making us pay. "We have to make the most of our chances and put Juve under pressure." http://markting10.nl/ Cagliari go into the encounter on the back of a goalless result at Chievo, their third straight draw, and have not won since beating Genoa 2-1 on December 8. The Islanders, who will be without injured striker Nene, have lost just once at home this season and are 12th in the standings. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

CAGLIARI - JUVENTUS January 12, 2014 - 3:00 PM Sant'Elia Stadium — Cagliari Referee: Marco Guida Cagliari v Juventus – Team News, Tactics, Lineups And Prediction Jan 11, 2014 It was business as usual for Juventus as the Winter Break did not slow down the wheels of the Bianconeri steamroller. A win over nearest rivals to the Scudetto crown AS Roma, further justified the notion that the title was theirs to lose. With an eight point lead, it’s hard to argue otherwise. That win over Roma gave Antonio Conte’s side their 10th successive victory, a perfect ten that is all the more extraordinary when you consider the fact that they have let in just a single goal during that period. It also meant Juventus would be crowned Winter Champions of Serie A with an unassailable lead. http://markting10.nl/ Their opponents Cagliari, have strung together a good run of 7 games unbeaten which includes two wins. Those wins came against high-flying Torino and Genoa at the San Elia. Last time out, they played a goal-less stalemate away at Chievo. It was by and large a drab affair but will be remembered for Mauricio Pinilla’s woeful penalty kick that sailed over the bar. Team News and Tactical Brief CAGLIARI The Sardinians maybe unbeaten in seven but they have lost their most prized asset in the transfer window. Belgium midfielder Radja Nainggolan waved his goodbyes and headed out the exit door in a loan move to AS Roma. Arguably, their best performer, Nainggolan’s departure certainly represents a blow to Cagliari but as it is relatively early in the window, they do have the chance to bring in alternatives. http://markting10.nl/ Coach Diego Lopez would no doubt be happy with his side’s unbeaten run but you can’t help but feel he’d be left ruing the fact that they’ve only recorded two wins. Nevertheless, they sit in 11th position on the league table and while priority remains to avoid relegation a top 10 finish doesn’t seem out of sight. The manager will retain his 4-3-1-2 formation and Daniele Dessena will step in for the departed Nainggolan. Cagliari will sit deep and try to deny Juventus space in front of goal. Their midfield is quite narrow and will tuck in to make up the numbers in the defensive third. Victor Ibarbo and Andrea Cossu will drift in search of pockets of space and to stretch the Juve defense. Ibarbo’s pace in general has caused Juventus a few head-aches in the past. It’s a toss-up between Marco Sau and Mauricio Pinilla to spearhead the Islanders’ attack. Possible Starting XI (4-3-1-2): Adan; Pisano, Rossettini, Astori, Murru; Dessena, Conti, Ekdal; Cossu; Pinilla, Ibarbo http://markting10.nl/ JUVENTUS We witnessed a different tactical approach from Conte against Roma; a strategy that he had often employed in the Champions League to good effect. Juventus were content to sit back and soak up the Roma pressure while choosing to hit them on the break. It worked. Roma’s supply lines were cut off while Juventus rarely looked exposed and their counter-attacks were threatening. It was a move that was clearly calculated and played out to perfection. But up against Cagliari, they should resort to their more accustomed possession based football. With no real injury troubles for the manager, only Andrea Barzagli will serve a one game ban on account of accumulation of yellow cards. The very capable Martin Caceres should fill in for the big Italian. With little to no rotation expected from Conte, the same team that started against Roma can be expected. http://markting10.nl/ Juventus are the best team on their travels in Italy and apart from the game against Fiorentina, they’ve rarely looked in danger. Expect them to dominate the game and carve out openings regularly through various outlets such as Andrea Pirlo and Carlos Tevez. The Argentine’s impact cannot be understated as he’s brought a whole new dimension in the final third; a cutting edge that was sorely lacking. Possible Starting XI (3-5-2): Buffon; Caceres, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Pogba, Asamoah; Tevez, Llorente http://markting10.nl/ Player To Watch Out For Arturo Vidal (Juventus) Juventus Conte Vidal MarchisioYou’ll have to look far and wide to find a superior midfielder in Italy right now. Vidal is the image on which this Juventus side has been built upon and is arguably the best player in the league. The goal against Roma took his tally to 8. Comfortable in defensive and offensive positions, it’s his work-ethic that has won him many admirers. Expect Vidal to put in another commanding shift. http://markting10.nl/ Prediction Cagliari 0-2 Juventus Juventus should continue from where they’ve left off last weekend. With the current breath-taking form they’re in, it will something special to halt their streak. Cagliari may not possess an answer to the questions thrown at them and could find the Juventus pressure overwhelming. It should be a comfortable victory for the visitors without too much fuss. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111
