In recent weeks, the head of the Serie A has changed three times, with two teams to succeed as
leaders: the Naples, back first six days ago and Inter. Juventus, which has never strayed too far, is second to one point
from Napoli and one point more than Inter.
But Roma should be
added to these three: in addition to the great progress made to see the game
plan, it is only four points behind Napoli and has a game in hand, which will
recover in mid-January against Sampdoria. Pending recovery, tonight Rome has
the opportunity to reach the top three positions, but will have to deal with
Juventus and in Turin.
Just a few weeks ago, Juventus-Roma
would almost certainly have been a very open game. Juventus had just started to
gear after the fluctuating performances at the start of the season while Roma
were in a very good shape. But now things have changed slightly.
Juventus is continuing to improve its
performance, as we saw in the 3-0 with which last week won in Bologna at the
end of an impressive race for pace attitude and concentration shown by players
on the field. Rome instead experienced a slight decline in form. Two weeks ago
he equalized against Chievo in Verona while on the last day he only won at the
last minute against Cagliari.
