Roma targets second place, while Juve are looking for fourth win in a row

Two ultimate Serie A games are taking place on Tuesday night, and both promise a lot of fireworks
This Serie A is definitely one of the most bizarre top leagues in the world, as the new champion has been decided months before the end. Napoli are 18 points clear of the runners-up, while Juventus faced a severe point deduction that saw them drop to the middle of the table. However, a steady rise since, with three wins in a row, has taken them near those Europa League spots, which would be a significant success considering everything.
🚨| Paul Pogba will be called up for Juventus's match against Torino, Allegri has confirmed.

To do so, Bianconeri ought to beat Torino tonight in the good old Turin derby, which promises lots of action and tension. Juve might be the most popular club in Italy, but when it comes to the city of Turin, things are a bit different as their rivals are known for more considerable support.
The fact Torino are just a point behind their city rival pours in some more salsa to this fixture that could end in many goals on both ends.
On the other side of the country, Jose Mourinho's Roma are facing atrocious, bottom-side Cremonese, who have already said farewell to the Serie A with a miserable nine points out of 23 games.
Cremonese's only target is the Coppa Italia, where they are punching above their weight, to put it mildly. That's why anything except Roma's landslide away victory should be considered a major upset. If they clinch a win, Roma will join Inter and Milan in second place, with 47 points, leapfrogging their city rival Lazio.
