Serie A: Milan on top but Juventus Scudetto favourites, says Pioli

The Hindu  

AC Milan joined rival Inter Milan at the top of Serie A in midweek, but Juventus are favourites to win this season’s Scudetto, according to Milan manager Stefano Pioli. After its embarrassing 5-1 defeat in the derby, Milan’s 3-1 win at Cagliari on Wednesday, combined with Inter’s first loss of the season, 2-1 at home to Sassuolo, sees the two rival clubs level on 15 points at the Serie A summit. “Top spot counts for nothing at this stage of the season, only the desire to do well counts,” Pioli told reporters on Friday ahead of their home game with Lazio on Saturday. “There are four clubs who will fight for the Scudetto, with Juventus the favourites because not playing all the cups can bring you extra points.” Pioli’s side will travel to face Borussia Dortmund four days after its clash with Lazio.
