Juventus knackered the title hopes of Napoli and the interest of many’s the neutral when they made a remarkable late comeback to beat Internazionale 3-2 in Milan.
The Old Lady won’t relinquish her grasp of the Scudetto readily and she looks set to secure a remarkable seventh straight domestic title. They host Bologna at the Juventus Stadium this evening and can all but secure the record-extending win and give Max Allegri a fitting send off should his links to a move away from Turin come to fruition.
The visitors are likely safe from the drop and sit in 12th going into the tie. A positive result here would get them across the mathematical precipice - although the likelihood of that seems remote.
Their away form has been abysmal in recent months, with two draws and six defeats from their last eight games on the road. They only scored three on that run and it’s difficult to see them blotting the copybook of the soon-to-be-retired Gianluigi Buffon.
For all that we want to get with the home side, it’s not easy to find an attractive angle to do that at the prices. They’re a skinny 1/7 and that’s short enough to pass up even for those of you who’re fond of rolling up a few short-priced pokes in a multiple.
Getting Juventus to win to nil onside then appeals, although odds of 8/13 about this selection won’t set the pulse racing, it’s a nice bit of ballast for a multiple of a Saturday evening.
