Last weekend saw Juventus make it 11 wins in a row after Paulo Dybala's goal was enough to defeat Roma in a tense encounter at Juventus Stadium. The result keeps the Bianconeri still in second, but the reigning champions are turning up the heat on Napoli as they sit just two points back - and a slip-up for the Partenopei combined with continued victories for la Vecchia Signora could see the no. 1 and no. 2 teams swap positions in what has been a very interesting Scudetto race so far.
Chievo
Since the start of 2016, Rolando Maran's side have picked up five points from their first three games and appeared to be building up some positive momentum, including an impressive 3-3 draw against Roma. However, the Flying Donkeys were brought crashing down after suffering a 4-1 loss to Lazio last weekend, and they will be hoping to regain their footing as they prepare to welcome Juventus to the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi this Sunday.
It will not be easy, as the hosts have only won one out of their 25 past meetings with la Vecchia Signora versus their visitors' 17. The draw earlier this season was one of only seven stalemates between the two sides, and they will be contending with a mini-injury crisis. Alessandro Gamberini, Perparim Hetemaj, and Riccardo Meggiorini are all out, whilst Simone Pepe could face his former side if he passes a late fitness test. The hosts will also now be no longer relying on the services of Alberto Paloschi after the former Italian youth international moved on to the Premier League to ply his trade with Swansea City.
Juventus
The first meeting between the Bianconeri and the Flying Donkeys finished as a 1-1 draw at Juventus Stadium, but a lot has changed for both sides since then. At that point, Juventus were struggling with injuries and going through some growing pains as they needed to integrate their crop of new signings into the team. Now that the squad has gelled, they have looked unstoppable in the league, with a 3-0 defeat of Scudetto aspirants Inter in the Coppa Italia semis preceded by a 1-0 win over Roma in last weekend's fixture.
Juventus have not conceded a goal since January 10th, when they powered past Sampdoria 2-1. Although they will be missing several players, including Kwadwo Asamoah, Mario Mandžukić, and Mario Lemina due to injury and Patrice Evra as a result of a ban, they nonetheless have the firepower and overall quality to succeed this Sunday. Dybala has been especially impressive as he has been either directly or indirectly responsible for 19 of Juve's goals this season (12 goals, seven assists) and Alvaro Morata was the star of the show in the victory over the Nerazzurri in Coppa Italia action mid-week.
The Bianconeri have won their last three away games against Chievo and have racked up 13 points - the best in the league - from losing positions; by contrast, their hosts have dropped the exact number of points - the worst in the league - from winning positions.
La Vecchia Signora are just one game away from matching the 12-match winning run achieved under Antonio Conte during the 2013/2014 season. And, with Napoli facing a potentially tricky test against Empoli, the reigning Scudetto champions could find themselves finally at the top of the table at the conclusion of this weekend's round of fixtures.
