Juventus failed take advantage with Inter Milan must focus playing in Champion League on match group stage round but Juventus have draw against Genoa last match and great opportunity to make four points remaining from current standings by Inter Milan if can defeat Lazio today. Actually Juventus have more benefit without participants in Champion League and have 100% focus in domestic league keep pressure Inter Milan have spending their focus not only with domestic league but also in champion league. Right now Inter Milan have one month left keep focus in domestic league because Champion League 16 or round will start on February next year. Seems Juventus management target how to keep second standings in this season and get qualify to Champion League regarding finish on top first position looks difficult for them.
Despite Genoa's poor form, Juventus could not beat them, by the way, matches with this opponent are not always easy for Juventus. Losing points is bad for Juventus and obviously it could make things easier for Inter, although they still have to beat Lazio at the Satdio Olimpico to do so.
And for Inter this is not the easiest task, the last time they beat Lazio away was in 2018 and although Lazio is not in the best shape now, they score most of the points in home matches.
Milan confidently beat Monza and moved a little closer to Juventus, but 5 points is still a big gap that will not be so easy to reduce.
Apparently Juventus is not strong enough to pressure Inter Milan, it looks like Inter will walk alone at the top of the standings this season. Milan, Napoli and Roma are no better than Juventus, so the competition for the four is most likely just for the UCL slots, as Inter have been too strong for all of them so far except for Sassuolo. That is Inter only defeat so far, their chances of snatching the Scudetto from Napoli are increasing every week.
A home match record can indeed give Lazio better confidence, but I think Inter came to secure 3 points and finish the match without thinking too much about Lazio record. The strength that Inter has in the form of even squad depth makes their chances better in the match against Lazio. I think Inzaghi squad will continue its consistency this week.
On the other hand, with many matches remaining ahead, I understand that the difference in points can still be overtaken or the opposite could even happen. Inter will certainly not be completely comfortable at the top of the points table, before the points gap widens even further. In a few hours we will enjoy the match between Lazio and Inter, and I won't miss it.
