MILAN: Champions Juventus turn their focus back to maintaining their Serie A supremacy ahead of nearest challengers Inter Milan with both Italian teams riding high after their European successes this week.

Juventus are just one point ahead of Inter Milan in the Italian league after eight games. Maurizio Sarri鈥檚 side head to promoted Lecce, while Antonio Conte鈥檚 Inter are at home against Parma.

Juve extended their unbeaten run in all competitions with Paulo Dybala鈥檚 quick-fire double earning a 2-1 over Lokomotiv Moscow in Turin on Tuesday in Europe.

Inter Milan beat Dortmund 2-0 in the San Siro the following night to boost their last 16 hopes, with Napoli also coming through with a thrilling 3-2 win in Salzburg.

鈥淲e鈥檙e very much alive,鈥� said Conte. 鈥淯nfortunately, we can鈥檛 enjoy this result too much. We now have less than three days to recuperate ahead of our match against Parma, who are on an excellent run.鈥�

Third-placed Atalanta return to the comforts of home against Udinese licking their wounds after a bruising 5-1 defeat to Manchester City.

Carlo Ancelotti鈥檚 Napoli, one point behind the Bergamo side in fourth and six adrift of Juventus, need a result at relegation-threatened SPAL to keep pace with the leaders.

In a match between fallen giants, sixth-placed Roma host an AC Milan side who are struggling in 12th and desperate for a first win under new coach Stefano Pioli.

The injury-hit Romans were bitter after being held 1-1 by Borussia Monchengladbach鈥檚 last-gasp penalty in Europa League action on Thursday.

鈥淚t鈥檚 not a great spell for us,鈥� said Roma forward Edin Dzeko, wearing a mask to protect a broken cheekbone.

鈥淭his was our fourth draw in a row and a win would have been a morale boost.

鈥淭here鈥檚 no point looking back though, only forward. We have a match against AC Milan and we must do everything possible to win it.鈥�

City rivals Lazio are also in need of a boost as they travel to Fiorentina, after falling 2-1 to Celtic in their Europa League clash.

New Genoa coach Thiago Motta鈥檚 first game in charge of the club where his playing career took off a decade ago will be against Brescia.

鈥淚n 2008, Genoa changed my situation. Now I really want to coach the squad and change our fortunes,鈥� said Motta.

Former Italy international Motta鈥檚 only previous coaching experience is with PSG鈥檚 U19 team, which he managed until July.

The 37-year-old former PSG, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid player takes over a Genoa side that has won just one game out of eight this season.
