kwadwo Asamoah's Juventus have been backed to win the Serie A title for the seventh successive season by former AC Milan midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng.

Juventus sit top with two points separating themselves and second-placed Napoli and with nine games remaining, Boateng reckons the Old Ladies will end up as champions.

"The Scudetto fight? Both Napoli and Juventus play very well, but in the end, the Bianconeri will still be there," said Boateng.

"Both are very strong, have spectacular football and great champions. They both deserve it. Juventus, however, is much more continuous and has a consistency of performance that few teams have in Europe. This is why I believe that in the end, the Piedmontese will once again win the Scudetto ".

Boateng, himself, is a former Serie A champion, having played a creditable role in Milan's triumph in 2010/11 season.
