MILAN – Juventus is looking to extend its unbeaten Serie A record to 44 games at Fiorentina on Tuesday night after a perfect weekend for the defending champion.

Not only did it manage a 2-0 win over Chievo Verona, but it saw its closest rivals in the standings all drop points to leave it as the only team still with a perfect record.

Juve chief executive Giuseppe Marotta says “we are proud of what we have done, but the season is still very long and it’s dangerous to make predictions.”

Topping off a positive week for Juventus was also the fact that its traditional rivals, AC Milan and Inter Milan, lost again.

Milan in particular will be desperate for victory, at home to Cagliari, after a woeful start.
