Next week is the rematch between them and it is clear that Juventus thinks only about that meeting, which may send them to the semifinals of the Champions League. The lost from the bankrupt stock of Parma in the last round speaks for the underestimation of the matches in Serie A, but Juve is still the favorite and will seek his 44th consecutive victory at home.

Lazio enjoyed a great season. "Roman eagles" not only shifted the eternal city rivals of Roma from the second place in the ranking, they will play even in the final of the Coppa Italia.

De Gea in Real Madrid? Only without Casillas!
As a kid in the school of Atletico Madrid, David de Gea collected stickers and posters with the image of his eternal idol Iker Casillas. He idealized him to end manifestations: boy in the red-white team wear took the manners and the cat saves of a true icon and a mark of the great rival Real Madrid. Not many years have passed since then, but from what admired for Iker remained only the bitterness of disappointment. De Gea is selected from the "whites" as a goalkeeper for next season, but the management has declared them, he will not arrive until they would find a solution to "the case Casillas."
These words are transmitted from his agent Jorge Mendes to Real Madrid president Florentino Perez: "De Gea will only come if Casillas is not there". The Portuguese shark knows that his client holds all the trump cards in his hand: a multimillion-dollar contract with Manchester United (about 5 million annual salary) and undisguised interest from Real Madrid. Both options like him, although the home strongly attracted him, and the opportunity to return to the Spanish capital is "exciting".

Monaco - St Etienne (Ligue 1)

The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 1.91 for a home win, with a draw at 3.20 and 4.75 for the victory of the guests.
With his good games lately, Monaco can seriously intervene in the fight for the title, but should win the upcoming match. The team is in a series of three consecutive wins and 6 points from the first place. Also, "the red and whites" have a game less than the leaders PSG. The coach Leonardo Jardim has to deal with upcoming compressed cycle of matches of his team. In the next 23 days, Monaco has 7 games and the Portuguese manager has to perform rotations in the composition to keep his players fresh. The match against St Etienne misses the injured Lacina Traore and Ricardo Carvalho. Questionable are Alain Traore and Tiemoue Bakayoko. Bulgarian Dimitar Berbatov will get a place in front in a view of the fact that he has no commitment with the national team of Bulgaria in the pause and will be fresh.
St Etienne is also in great shape and is in a series of three consecutive victories in the local Ligue 1. "Green and whites" are fifth in the standings and will try to intervene in the fight for the Champions League zone. The manager Christophe Galtier has serious problems before the visit to Monaco. The best player of the team Max Gradel, who has six goals in the last 5 games, is penalized. Jeremy Clement misses the match, because of accumulated yellow cards. With injuries in the camp of St Etienne are Renaud Cohade, Florentin Pogba, Moustapha Bayal Sall and Romain Hamouna.
Both teams are in great shape, but guests arriving at the "Stade Louis II" without a lot of key players. Monaco is an experienced team and will do everything possible to take advantage of the problems in the camp of Saint-Etienne and to take a valuable victory. In view of this, Monaco looks like the great favorite in Friday`s match.
Recommended bet: For Monaco @ 1.91 at bet365
