Juventus have experienced a renaissance of late in the league, having tasted defeat last at the end of November last year and going 12 matches unbeaten since then. Their form has propelled them into the top-four – something that seemed improbable at the start of the season.
The Bianconeri have profited from the unsteady form of Inter, Milan and Napoli, but former defender Andrea Barzagli believes the seven-point gap to top the table is going to be hard to match-up.
“It is normal that they can believe even if 7 points are a lot with 11 matches from the end. Those in front, however, are not going that strong and Juve have an excellent schedule. But then again, 7 points are a lot and I imagine that at least one team will be able to make 8-9 wins out of 11 games. So let’s see, it will certainly be a good season finale,” he explained.

Juventus sit in fourth place with 50 points, six more than Atalanta, who have two games in hand. Although they look unlikely to catch the top three, nothing can be said for sure as of the moment, given the trio’s shaky recent form.
However, as Barzagli says, it will certainly be a season finale to remember.
