Fabio Cannavaro has been following the Serie A title race closely this season and believes there is still a lot to play for and that the weekend game between Juventus and Napoli will not be a decisive encounter.
Juve are now seven points behind Napoli and could close the gap to four points with a win in that game, which seems possible considering the Bianconeri have won eight straight clean sheets.
The Partenopei have the firepower to take down the Bianconeri and end their winning streak, but Max Allegri is an experienced coach who can also mastermind a victory for his team.
Cannavaro expects an exciting game, but doesn’t think it will be a significant game in the title race.
The former defender said through Tuttojuve:
“Naples or Juve for the championship but Maradona’s challenge is not yet decisive.
“Maradona’s challenge will be very important but not decisive.”
Juve FC says
There are still many points to be played for this legislature and Cannavaro is right. We cannot overestimate the importance of this game.
However, that doesn’t mean we should be complacent because it will be hard to catch the Partenopei if we lose and they are ten points ahead of us in the standings.
