Lippi: Juventus Could Win The Scudetto

Former Juventus boss Marcello Lippi believes that his former side are capable of winning the league but accepts that Inter are the strongest side in the championship.



The two teams meet in the Derby d’Italia on Sunday, with much more at stake than just three points.

Juventus are fired up for the encounter at the Stadio Olimpico, following their demotion to Serie B last year.

The Bianconeri have made an excellent return to the top-flight this campaign and currently sit in third position, just four points behind leaders Inter.

“It will be a high quality game,” Lippi told the Gazzetta dello Sport.

“For Juventus this game is not just a normal game against Inter, but it is a game to prove their supremacy.

“For sure Inter are the strongest squad in the championship but Juve are also playing well and it is possible they could overwhelm the difference in points.

“Who will win on Sunday? It is a game that you can’t predict – anything could happen.”

Lippi had two hugely successful spells at Juventus, winning virtually every domestic, European and world title on offer. However his time at Inter was less successful and he was sacked in 2001.
