Juventus are heading into the home stretch of the campaign in the unusual position of being in the title hunt of three competitions.

The Turin giants, who host Genoa tomorrow, will be in buoyant mood because this week they won 3-0 at Borussia Dortmund to advance to the Champions League quarter-finals for just the second time since 2006.

Juve progressed with a 5-1 triumph on aggregate, with Argentinian striker Carlos Tevez providing three goals and setting up one more in that tie.

“Juve handed in a great performance and the team is in good form,” Tevez said on his club’s official website.

“We are not thinking about who we will face in the next round. The important thing is that we are there.”

Massimiliano Allegri’s men, who are also playing in the Coppa Italia semi-finals, must now turn their attention back to Serie A with 10 weeks remaining in the season.

Juve have a commanding 14-point advantage over Roma.

Against Genoa, the Bianconeri will be without French midfielder Paul Pogba, who is out for two months with a muscular injury that he sustained in midweek.

Genoa’s players do have cause for optimism as they are the only ones to have beaten Juve in Italy’s top flight this season.

Roma are struggling and showing no signs of recovery going into tomorrow’s match at Cesena after being eliminated from the Europa League.

They lost 3-0 at home to Fiorentina on Thursday, a result that followed their 2-0 home defeat to Sampdoria and extended Roma’s winless run to five games in all competitions.

Lazio are just one point adrift of their city rivals after an impressive run that has seen them win their last five league games.

Verona will be hoping to avoid becoming Lazio’s next victims in Serie A when the two sides meet at the Stadio Olimpico tomorrow night.

Napoli are three points adrift of third-place Lazio, who hold the last Champions League qualifying spot.

The Naples outfit joined Fiorentina in the quarter-finals of the Europa League after a goalless result at Dinamo Moscow saw them advance to the next round with a 3-1 aggregate victory.

Rafa Benitez’s Napoli, without a league win since February 23, host Atalanta tomorrow.

Inter are licking their wounds heading into their match at in-form Sampdoria.

The Nerazzurri fell 2-1 at home to Wolfsburg on Thursday to lose 5-2 aggregate in Europa League.

Inter are looking to snap a three-match winless run in Serie A against a Sampdoria side that has won their last three matches.

Fifth-place Fiorentina, level on 46 points with Samp, play at Udinese tomorrow.

The Viola beat Milan 2-1 last weekend before their convincing Europa League victory in Rome.

Strugglers Milan are now running out of time in their bid to qualify for European football next season.

The Rossoneri are 10th in the standings, 10 points adrift of Samp, who hold the last European qualifying spot and they take on Cagliari at the San Siro today.

Palermo travel to Verona to face Chievo today, hoping to clinch their first win on the road since November 2.

The Sicilians have since collected just five points – all from draws – away from home.
