Dimarco's volley goal was superb. The GOTS contenders at the end of the campaign will be very strong. Looking very close at the top. Roma vs Inter and Juve vs Sassuolo should be good.

It would be so much more fun though if Juve could be taken out

Unbeaten run had to come to an end at some point, just a shame it was Juve. Still apparently Szczesny made more saves in the game than any other in his Juve career so it was reasonable effort from Milan all things considered.

Milan face four of the bottom six in next 5 games so hopefully can consolidate their lead. Tricky Atalanta thrown in there too who can be anything on their day.

But everything got a whole lot tighter after today.

Argh Premier Sports are taking the piss tonight with the rugby. They could surely put the Milan vs Torino game on Free Sports?

TheadoreT

Potential banana skin for Milan after exerting so much midweek. But a bit more structure back in the side with Tonali back from suspension and Calabria back in his normal position.

Hoping Belotti has an off night, not sure how hes still at Torino.

TheadoreT

Not the best performance but a win is a win. Pressure on chasers tomorrow.

Mr.Nice Guy

Ilicic was on fire from the highlights I saw. Such a fun player to watch.

I think they're looking to buy the Italian broadcast rights, same as they already have the rights to a game every Wednesday night in the CL there, don't think it'll change anything for Irish viewers yet.

Serie A could do with a nice paycheck if one is on offer from Amazon

It's not a huge jump from the current deal, the new deal is reported to be worth €1.15B per season which is up from €973M in the last deal. While I'm happy enough with Premier Sports at the moment I'd probably just subscribe to Italian Prime if they got it like it used to be with the PL games on UK Prime before Brexit and maybe get every game.

Smell the glove

Premier Sports offer a great service with their coverage but every now and again they just don't show a match for whatever mad reason. Would love to have pundits or a proper review show where people talk about the league but I'm under no illusions that it will happen anytime soon.

Very entertaining first half of Rome derby. Lazio 2-0 up.

ShamoBuc

Very open game but I'll be surprised if theres not a red, 4 first half yellows.

Some win for lazio last night. Roma were very poor has to be said. Bologna get an important win too. Think Orsolini should move on soon, he's a decent player.

Yep Orsolini looks to have something about him alright.

Big one tonight. Inter haven't beaten the bianconeri since 2016. Inter have a near full squad while juve have de Ligt, Alex Sandro and Juan Cuadrado out due to COVID-19, with Paulo Dybala out injured too. Juve have been playing alright lately but inter surely be fancying their chances. I fancy inter to beat them but it's inter so you could never rely on them.

Him, Locatelli, Boga, De Paul, they should all be playing for bigger clubs surely. Especially Locatelli.

Napoli are battering Fiorentina in the early game.
5-0 with 10 to go

Could be some huge win for Crotone today to take them out of the relegation zone

Holy crap. Benevento have been really good up to today

dor83

Line-ups for the Derby d'Italia:

Inter: Handanovic; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Hakimi, Barella, Brozovic, Vidal, Young; R Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez

Juventus: Szczesny; Danilo, Bonucci, Chiellini, Frabotta; Chiesa, Rabiot, Bentancur, Ramsey; Morata, Ronaldo

Can't see Inter winning tonight, Juve have been playing a bit better and Inter haven't been great the last few games. Hopefully it's a good game.

Inter should be 2 up only for poor finishing from Martinez

Could have a couple more, I reckon Juve will be the better team in the 2nd half and Inter will regret the missed chances in the 1st half.

breezy1985

Inter have been good going forward so far. Definitely had a few chances for a second
