TEAM NOTES
Coach: Fabio Capello (2nd year) Serie A
Record: 20-1-3
Rank: 1st, 63 points
Last Result: 1-1 tie vs. Parma, February 8
Streak: Tied 1 Next Game: at Inter, February 12 Champions League Next Game: second round first-leg at Werder Bremen, February 22 Serie A leaders Juventus defeated Udinese in controversial circumstances last weekend. Udinese's Ghanaian midfielder Sulley Muntari was sent off in the 37th minute for two yellow cards, substitute Alex Del Piero then got the game's only goal in the 71st from an offside position, and finally referee Antonio Dattilo failed to award the visitors a penalty-kick when Italy international defender Fabio Cannavaro seemed to shove Udinese's Vidigal in the back. The referee and an assistant, Gabriele Contini, have since been suspended for their "errors". In midweek, Juve surprisingly failed to beat lowly Parma. The game ended 1-1, with Daniele Dessena putting the visitors in front before Zlatan Ibrahimovic, levelled the score on the stroke of half-time, with his first Serie A goal since mid-November. Referee Luca Palanca awarded Juve a dubious penalty-kick in the 90th minute, but Alex Del Piero thundered his shot against the cross-bar. Jonathan Zebina and Alessandro Birindelli both miss Sunday evening's "derby d'Italia" at the San Siro stadium against second-placed Inter through injury, while Gianluca Zambrotta is doubtful with a thigh problem. Juve's last away win against Inter in Serie A came in April 2000, when Serbian striker Darko Kovacevic scored both goals in a 2-1 victory.
