(Reuters) - They may still be well off the pace in the Serie A title race, but an 11 match unbeaten run has at least given Juventus some hope of achieving what previously appeared unthinkable, with a derby clash the next step on their quest.
After seventh-placed Juve slipped to a fifth loss from 14 league games against Atalanta in late November, Serie A's most successful club were on course for another disappointing campaign, having finished fourth the previous season.
