Serie A

Danilo shot Juventus second in Serie A with the only goal in Saturday's 1-0 win over Udinese, on the day the Turin giants honoured their deceased former ...

We will miss your smile so much.” “After the win, our first thoughts go to Gianluca Vialli. This win is for him.”

Juventus stretched its winning streak to eight matches when it scraped past Udinese 1-0 in Serie A on Saturday, while Fiorentina beat Sassuolo 2-1.

Inter restored its lead in the 22nd following a horrendous defensive mistake. "There's a good game waiting for us but we have to take it one step at a time,'' Allegri said. And it took the lead in the 10th minute when Alessandro Bastoni whipped in a cross from the left for Matteo Darmian to bundle in at the far post. Juventus eventually broke the deadlock with impressive play from Chiesa, who chested down a ball over the top before volleying across the face of goal for Danilo to tap in from point-blank range at the back post. Vialli, who died on Friday, helped Juventus to a Serie A title and the European Cup during a four-year stint. There was a moving tribute to Gianluca Vialli before kickoff in Turin as well as a minute's silence, which preceded all matches in Serie A this weekend.

Leandro Paredes and Federico Chiesa set up Danilo's late winner, as Juventus keep marching up the table with an eighth consecutive victory and clean sheet.

Udinese had lost only two of their last 15 games, despite missing [Gerard Deulofeu](https://football-italia.net/player/gerard-deulofeu/) and [Adam Masina](https://football-italia.net/player/adam-masina/).

A late goal from Danilo gave Juventus all three points against Udinese at the Allianz Stadium.

Federico Chiesa volleyed across the face of the box for the Brazilian Danilo to fire home. 12 - Juventus have kept 12 clean sheets after their first 17 games in Serie A this term, only one side had recorded an higher such tally at this stage in the history of the competition: Cagliari in 1966/67 (13). 37' HUGE CHANCE That was by far the best move of the match so far and it really should be 1-0 to Juventus. Chiesa brought the ball down on his chest superbly before poking the ball across the face of goal and Danilo was on hand to poke home and give Juventus all three points. Danilo was the matchwinner on the night, poking home from close range to give his side all three points but it was his overall performance which was impressive. To keep going until the last whistle is something people often associate with great teams of the past and for Juventus, it's working well this season.

AC Milan will take on Roma in the 17th round of Serie A tomorrow and the Rossoneri are eager to build on their win against Salernitana.

➤ AC Milan have won their last three Serie A meetings against AS Roma and they could win four in a row for the first time since February 1990 (five in a row under Arrigo Sacchi). ➤ AS Roma drew their last Serie A away match and could draw two in a row for the first time since September 2019 (four). They have conceded goal in 16 of their last 18 against the Giallorossi at home, having kept a clean sheet in eight of the previous 16. As for Roma, the trio up front will have to be dealt with well by the Milan defence. Since Leao is a key player for Milan, Gianluca Mancini will get the tough task of marking him. Roma will have to watch out for him, in other words. In spite of an injury crisis at the back, Milan managed to win 3-1 thanks to goals from Olivier Giroud, Junior Messias and Rafael Leao. In addition, they lost the derby to Lazio 0-1 earlier in the season but also managed to beat Inter away from home. He added great stability to Milan’s defence and his return is instrumental for the Rossoneri in their Scudetto pursuit. As you would expect, the starting XI will be the same tomorrow, which is certainly understandable given just how well Milan played against Salernitana. Milan really started 2023 in the best way possible as they won their game against Salernitana, while Napoli lost against Inter. He actually did quite well against Salernitana, although he didn’t have much to do as the Salerno side had just one shot on target.

The presentation of our first big match of the new year at San Siro.

In both cases, the most recent - the only one in the current championship - dates back to last October and is a 2-1 away win (in Verona for the Rossoneri, in Milan for Inter against the Giallorossi). On Sunday, after Salernitana 1-1 Torino at 12:30 CET, at 15:00 CET Lazio v Empoli and Spezia v Lecce; at 18:00 CET Sampdoria v Napoli and at 20:45 CET AC Milan v Roma. There have been a few days to come back from the Arechi and prepare for San Siro, and it is no coincidence that there are no new recoveries, and the offensive department is the one to pay the most. The referee will be Davide Massa from the Imperia section. Among the certainties, Tonali will have to try and stay out of the book. The points at stake could give an important boost in the top areas of Serie A: AC Milan at 36, Roma at 30.

Now off go Milan, with Leao flying up the other end on a weaving run. It's a classic Mourinho 'soak up and strike' strategy so far. Leao is next in the book. It's a deserved lead for Milan, who have bossed possession and created the better openings, but Roma finished the half strongly. Milan go in front from the resulting corner! It doesn't quite swerve enough, as the ball flies a yard or so wide.

Milan again look to Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao amid an injury crisis, while Jose Mourinho picks Tammy Abraham, Paulo Dybala and Nicolò Zaniolo for Roma.

After Napoli finally took their first loss of the season in a high-level clash with Inter, we have another match between two of the best teams in Italy as ...

The right wing is a bit more of a question; Alexis Saelemaekers has started recently, but he has yet to find consistently good form for the Rossoneri. He probably owns the job by default right now, but he is likely to find himself on the bench when health returns to the squad. The young Frenchman is a solid, even if inconsistent option as a backup, but the Rossoneri would love to see their star defender back in the fold. Pierre Kalulu will most likely start in his stead if the Dane is unable to play; even if he is, Kalulu is likely to see some time as Kjaer is probably not playing a full 90 in his return from injury. Tatarusanu is a fine option, but he doesn’t come close to adding the same value as the Frenchman. The fullback pairing is pretty interesting as well; there’s literally not enough time in a day to say all of the great things there are to be said about Hernández at left back, as both a defender and attacker, but the right side is a bit more up in the air. Sitting behind the pair of forwards is CAM and team captain Lorenzo Pellegrini, who was solid against Bologna in a contest that saw him convert a sixth-minute penalty which ended up being the only score of the game. Roma are coming off of a historic season in year 1 under José Mourinho, in which they secured their first trophy in 11 years, as well as their first-ever major European trophy, although the definition of “major” is up for debate, in the eyes of some. Theo also played a full 90, a great sign of commitment when other World Cup finalists (and many who played less than Hernández during the tournament) haven’t touched the pitch yet for their club. At his best, Dybala is one of the most unique and creative attackers in World football, as he possesses the ability to play up top and score goals, or sit back and create for his teammates from a deeper-lying role. Let’s take a look at the odds and make some picks for both sides’ biggest-yet clash of the New Year. Roma are pretty solid underdogs at +330, and the draw is +240.
