Italian Soccer Serie A

Hello, my friends. Here are the 2019-2020 Serie A Week 21 PREVIEW / Twenty-first Round on Friday 24, Saturday 25, Sunday 26 January 2020.

One thing is for sure.  The leadership will remain the same.  Juventus keeping the 1st position reaching 51 points after defeating Parma with a 2-1 score.  Juventus have  a +4 points lead over Inter with 47 points in the second position after their 1-1 draw with Lecce at the Via del Mare Stadium.  Juventus will face Napoli at the San Paolo Stadium while Inter will face Cagliari at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium.

The Derby della Capitale AS Roma vs Lazio will be a thriller.  Roma and Lazio dueling to claim the bragging rights to rule Rome.  However, the pressure is for Lazio not to slow down their race for the Scudetto having 45 points and a pending game.   We might have a change in the second position in case of Inter losing against Cagliari and Lazio defeating Roma.  In this situation, Lazio would overtake the second position!!!    Lazio in the 3rd position with 45 points and Roma in the 4th position with 38 points.  Win or Lose, Lazio will keep the third position.

👉 Up to Serie A Week 20: There is a three-way race between Juventus (48), Inter (46), and Lazio (45)

⚽️ Serie A Top Scorer up to Week 20:
Lazio forward Ciro Immobile with 23 goals
