Juventus champion Thursday
It will not be enough to win in Udine to have arithmetic certainty: a slowdown of Inter will be needed first, Wednesday night against Fiorentina (draw or defeat). In this case Sarri on Thursday would go to +10 or +11 on Conte with three games still to play. At an altitude of 83 he could not be reached even by Lazio, but only by Atalanta (if he wins all of them, starting from Tuesday evening against Bologna) which, however, is at a disadvantage in direct comparisons with the Bianconeri (a defeat and a draw) .
It is more complicated for Juventus to win the Scudetto with a simple draw in Udine, which would project it at an altitude of 81. Atalanta should not go beyond par against Bologna, Inter should lose against Fiorentina and Lazio not beat Cagliari Thursday (Inzaghi in theory can still reach 81 points and would be ahead of the direct matches). In this case Juve could be reached by only one between Atalanta and Inter (who have to face each other on the last day) but would be ahead with both in direct confrontations.
Juventus champion Saturday
A second hypothesis for the bianconeri is the most suggestive one: Sarri could win the Scudetto in the hotel, on the eve of Juventus-Sampdoria. It can happen if he beats Udinese on Thursday and if Inter does not win at Marassi against Genoa, in a desperate fight for salvation. In this case, Juve would need 83 points. In 2018 with Napoli Sarri claimed to have lost the Scudetto on the eve of the match against Fiorentina, looking at Inter-Juventus 2-3. This time he could conquer his first title without playing: it remains to be assessed whether the team will actually retire to Turin or if the players will spend the eve at home separately.
Juventus champion Sunday
Without help from other fields, the most probable date for the black and white party is Sunday against Sampdoria at the Stadium: Juve would need a tie (if he beat Udinese), or a victory (if he drew in Udine), independently of others results.
