"These games teach that to win you have to suffer, 1-0 is a good result," said Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri ahead of this weekend's Turin derby. "Napoli, like Inter, Milan and Rome are our rivals. We have to advance calmly, step by step. The derby will be a nice match, we will have a few days to recover." Napoli routed Lazio in the second half despite Simone Inzaghi's side having gotten off to a flying start with defender De Vrij opening the scoring after 29 minutes. But injuries to defenders Bastos and then De Vrij turned the tide in favour of Napoli with three goals in the space of a frenetic four minutes.Juventus are unbeaten in their last 40 home games in Serie A.

AS Roma outclassed promoted Benevento 4-0 as Eusebio Di Francesco's side followed on from last weekend's 3-0 win over Verona to move seventh. Edin Dzeko hit a brace in either half and provoked own goals by Fabio Lucioni (35) and Lorenzo Venuti (74) at the Stadio Vigorito. The Bosnian hit-man had no problem infiltrating a weak Benevento defence which leaked six goals last weekend against Napoli, scoring from the right at 22 minutes and left at 52.Another win at home ❤️⚫️

"Dzeko did well, he could have scored more. I loved his spirit of sacrifice," Di Francesco added. "This team was meant to be challenging for the Scudetto at the start, then after two games people said we'd be fighting for fourth or fifth, so really it's just meaningless chatter," he said of title talk. Crotone and Benevento are already relegation candidates with a point between them as they sit rock bottom.#ASRoma's last nine @SerieA_TIM away matches...
