Juventus remained firmly on course for a third straight Serie A title after beating Fiorentina 1-0 yesterday to provisionally extend its lead at the top of the standings to 14 points.
Second-placed Roma has played two games less and travels later to Napoli, which trails its opponent by six points.
Kwadwo Asamoah scored a brilliant goal three minutes from halftime to give Juventus the lead.
Unlike the first match this season where Juventus squandered a two-goal lead against Fiorentina to lose 2-4, its only league defeat this campaign, the Bianconeri held on to record its 14th home league victory. It has a perfect record at home this season.
In Spain, Barcelona's title defense took a blow when it stumbled to a 0-1 defeat at Valladolid on Saturday, missing the chance to move top of the Spanish standings.
