ROME Juventus are closing in on two prizes currently held by AC Milan as the Serie A race heads into a crucial and demanding period of the season.Following the postponement of last weekend’s games due to the death of Livorno’s Piermario Morosini, top flight teams now face a run of five games in two weeks.Not only are Juve defending a one-point lead at the top of the table over champions Milan but the Old Lady of Turin are also closing in on the rossoneri’s record unbeaten run.Back in the days of Fabio Capello, Milan went 42 games unbeaten over 11 months from April 1992 to March 1993. Juve’s current run stands at 37 games in league and cup, starting with the final match of last season.If they get through the next two weeks without a loss they will match Milan’s marker while remaining unbeaten to the end of the league season would allow them to surpass their rivals.It has been a remarkable turnaround for a team that finished seventh in the previous two seasons and missed out on European competition in this campaign.More than the unbeaten record, Juve are aiming for a league and cup double and have a cup final to come against Napoli a week after the Serie A season ends.
