Two clubs in opposite ends of the Serie A table will do battle today in a league match between Catania and Juventus. The first-division clash scheduled for 3:45 p.m. ET will be held at the Stadio Angelo Massimino and can be live streamed here free.
Juventus continue flying in both domestic and European competition. The club advanced to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Europa League after securing a 2-1 aggregate victory over rivals Fiorentina in the Round of 16. It's the commanding 11-point lead, however, that manager Antonio Conte cares about (h/t to Goal). "I always said the Scudetto was our main priority, to give the third consecutive title to the president," the Juventus coach told reporters. "Of course we also want to progress in the Europa League, but the primary objective has always been the Scudetto," he added.
"Reading the papers and listening to what people say, it felt as if on Friday [Fiorentina] had already celebrated Juve's elimination from the Europa League."
The only celebration was held in Turin, but will the Old Lady celebrate further after a victory in Catania? Tell us @SportsWN
