Cristiano Ronaldo has played two games already for Juventus but he has fired blanks in both games which has drew a lot of questions about his chances of winning the capocannoniere this season.
His home debut, however, proved to be a difficult one against SSS Lazio who finished fifth in the Serie A and level on points with fourth-placed Inter Milan last season. Even for a man of Ronaldo’s quality, there will come a transition period for a different league with different players and a new style of play.
Cristiano’s nine-year stay at Real Madrid means that the habits developed during his time in the Spanish capital are very fresh.
Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic eased any nerves the fans may have had, as the Bosnian sweet strike gave Juve the lead.
He was denied a brilliant chance by Lazio shotstopper Thomas Strakosha this past weekend, but did get the assist for Mario Mandzukic's second goal against the biancocelesti. Bookies released their odds for the players that will win the highest goal scorer which shows Ronaldo is still tipped to win the gong with the odds given to him.
They have a feeling that the Portuguese ace still has a lot of time to impose himself in the Serie A, with the odds for Ronaldo to win the crown at 2.25. Other candidates too are stuck at no goals, as things stand.
Inter Milan goal poacher Mauro Icardi is still at zero goal, much like AC Milan new striker Gonzalo Higuain who failed to score against his former club SSC Napoli. Ciro Immobile though, has scored once and his chances are valued at 7.50.
