Undisputed leader of Serie A, Juventus Turin can still take a big step towards the title in the event of a victory at AC Milan (9.45 pm) coupled with a new faux pas by Lazio Rome against Lecce (7.30 pm) on Tuesday of the 31st day.

Juve, who are seven steps ahead of their Roman runner-up, will travel to San Siro to win their fifth straight game since the restart and get closer to a ninth Scudetto in a row.

The teammates of Gianluigi Buffon, who became the most capped player in the history of Serie A with 648 games played on Saturday, have only one hitch, the defeat in the final of the Italian Cup against Naples on penalties , just before the resumption of the championship.

The second Roman team, AS Rome (5th), who almost said goodbye to the Champions League by conceding three losses in a row, will receive Parma (12th) Wednesday evening and will have to find their way to victory on pain of being done overtake by Napoli (6th), which will move to Genoa (17th) a few hours earlier.
