With
Super Mario (Mario Balotelli) serving his three-game ban, a cloud of doubt
looms over the Rossoneri’s side. An iota of skepticism bogs down Allegri and
his men as they try to strengthen their bid for the coveted Champions League spot.
Missing Super Mario
Indeed,
the Rossoneri is not just about Super Mario. But the latter’s absence during
their match against the Partenopei forced the squad to make major adjustments
and play undermanned—well literally.
Mathieu
Flamini rose to the challenge. But the Flamini’s flame did not last long enough
to seal the match. Gorav Pandev immediately answered back and served as the
match’s equalizer and left the Rossoneri’s trailing by four (4) points on Serie’s
team standings.
It
is through such occasion—that nail-biting moment, which begs for a tie-breaker
that the Balotelli- El Shaarway tandem is greatly missed.
Speaking of El Shaarway, it wasn’t until the 73rd minute that the striker entered the game. Obviously, Allegri’s move speaks well of his intention to keep El Shaarway on tiptop shape against the Bianconeri.

Striker drought?
Secured
of their Champions League spot and sitting comfortably on top of Serie’s
football hierarchy, Juventus aggregate loss against Bayern points at the
Biaconeri’s goal drought.
Whilst Mirko Vucinic argues that bringing in another striker is no longer necessary, the team seems to think otherwise.
Should
Juventus continue playing in this manner, the squad still, keeps the top spot.
But the succeeding games might require more effort in order to retain the
leaderboard hold.
The verdict
12BET picks Juventus
as favorites with a 1.750 odds. The Biaconeri must secure a goal (1) to
overcome AC Milan’s 0.5 Asian handicap.
