Juventus messed up yet another two points at home. Out of their 12 (!) draws, 5 came at home, including the latest mishap, against Chievo Verona.
And Juve has not beaten Chievo this season. (If they were to go head-to-head, as a matter of fact, based on the results in the league, Chievo would eliminate the Turin team on away goals.)
After going up one goal early in the first half, through De Ceglie (minute 18), Juventus saw that advantage cancelled by a late goal from Boukary Drame, in minute 76.
Juventus tried to get the winner, but they just still do not seem to have enough strength to keep getting good results. I would have said "to keep winning", but the draw in Milan last week, although not a win, was still a performance worthy of praises.
But this draw, however, was not.
Chievo is not really the team to create serious problems to title contenders.
Most important, though, looking at AC Milan 's impressive win in Palermo, it has become clear that Milan should win the title, unless something really weird happens and they start doing much worse.
And there's only so much not losing to the big rivals can do for Juventus.

Now I'm really curious to see if Juventus, seeing as how they really need this, will be able to match Udinese's result in Bologna (- winning 3-1, away from home). I bet that's what Juve fans are saying to themselves: If Udinese could do it, so can we!...
That match, by the way, is coming up on Wednesday.
