A 0-0 draw with Roma was enough to hand Max Allegris’s Juventus the league title, their seventh in a row and yet another domestic double.
It wasn’t pretty, but the job’s done, much as the football betting world has expected for some time. The best team has won Serie A and, you know what, the smart betting advice is that they’ll take some stopping again next season. And with Italy missing out on World Cup 2018, all eyes will be on the big transfer moves of the teams hoping to dethrone the Old Lady.
In a tense game, the dismissal of Roma’s Radja Nainggolan made things easier for the Bianconeri, but the hosts won’t worry too much as they have still qualified for next season’s Champions League. Meanwhile, second placed Napoli did their bit with a 0-2 win in Sampdoria, thanks to late goals from Raul Albiol and Arkadiusz Milik.
A shock 1-2 defeat at home to Sassuolo left Inter’s chances of Champions League football hanging by a thread, though Lazio couldn’t quite confirm fourth place, drawing 2-2 at 18th-placed Crotone, thanks to a late equaliser from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
And in the chase for Europa football, both teams ended up with ten men as Milan drew 1-1 in Atalanta, the hosts scoring a dramatic late leveller for the hosts courtesy of Andrea Masiello.
There were wins for strugglers Udinese, Chievo and Cagliari to really shake up the relegation battle, while Torino beat SPAL, which all means, with Benevento and Hellas Verona already doomed, the third relegation place will be taken by one of five teams, with Crotone aiming to overhaul one of SPAL, Cagliari, Chievo or Udinese. It’s all to play for.
And hats off to Benevento, beating Genoa to make it six wins for the season!
