Little excitement as Juve set to clinch another title

Juve need a point on Saturday to clinch the title with five matches to spare. Even if they lose, they will have another chance on Monday, when second-placed Napoli, who are 17 points behind, would still need to beat Atalanta to prolong the contest. But Ronaldo’s ability to conjure goals out of nothing has often allowed to Juventus to win matches without really exerting themselves and, in others, snatch wins they have not really deserved.
Yet they have struggled to turn dominance of matches into wins, and their record of 16 draws in 32 league matches, plus their position in the table — 10th out of 20 — sums up a mediocre season.
