Match Preview
With Napoli not playing until Sunday Juventus know that a win against SPAL will ensure they top the table by nine points, for 24 hours at least.
It’s a busy period of the season for Juve, who between now and the winter break face tough Serie A games against the likes of Fiorentina, Inter and Roma, as well as the Turin derby in three weeks time.
La Bianconeri also could secure their Champions League passage over the next few weeks with crucial games against Valencia and Young Boys.
Firstly though, they will have to deal with the threat posed by SPAL. Last time out the Ferrara-based club drew 2-2 with Cagliari, putting to end a seven-game losing streak.
SPAL will know this is perhaps their toughest game of the season, but can draw heart from their last result against Juve, when they drew 0-0 with the reigning Italian champions in March.
Juventus will be hoping to do a bit better in front of goal on Saturday, and will no doubt be aided this time by Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese attacker has registered eight league goals so far this season, with only Genoa’s Krzysztof Piatek scoring more than him in Serie A.
