Paolo Di Canio feels that Juventus play ‘less problematic football’ than Milan and Inter as the title race enters the decisive stages.

The Bianconeri currently sit 4th in the Serie A table, seven points behind league leaders Napoli, and a strong run by Massimiliano Allegri’s side could see them get involved in the title race as the season draws to close.

Speaking to Sky Sports Italia, Di Canio spoke about if Juventus could win the Scudetto this season.

“Yes and no. Yes because Vlahovic is there, but they concede three chances in five minutes. They’re a team that isn’t lucky enough not to be in the cups.

“They have the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia and the return leg of the Champions League. Napoli seem to have an advantage. They need to make a run.”

The former Lazio forward then highlighted how star striker Dusan Vlahovic is a problem solver for Juventus, allowing them to play a simpler brand of football.

“They’ve found a player who solves problems, you win with moments. The only important point is that they have three cup games and will lose some energy.

“They don’t want to play the game, it’s a simple game to win games especially in the final part of the season. Juve wait in their own half and with Vlahovic they can score whenever they want. Juve play less problematic football than Milan and Inter. They play simple.”

Napoli rose to the top of the league table following their 2-1 win over Lazio on the weekend, taking advantage of the fact that both Milanese clubs dropped points. The Nerazzurri in particular have only won one of their last five league outings and now they risk tumbling out of the title race unless their re-find their form.
