Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A ROUNDUP for
the
Serie A Week 28, 2013 – 2014 Season on Saturday 15, Sunday 16, and Monday 17 March
2014, matchday 28.
One thing not changing is the Serie A leadership. Juventus are the
absolute leaders, practically without rival. Juventus keeping the first position and almost collecting the Scudetto after defeating Genoa at the Ferraris Stadium. Two goals ruled out for Juventus against Genoa. Then, incredible, Genoa could have taken the lead after Referee Mazzoleni granted a penalty to Genoa and goalkeeper Buffon stopping Emanuele Calaio’s penalty in the 72nd minute!!! Simply put, Juventus are on a solo flight to the Scudetto with only one apparently menace: AS Roma. The gap with Juventus now are of 14 points!! Roma will have to fight hard to keep the second position
because Napoli are desperately following them. Roma with 58 points and
Napoli with 55 points… just 3 points difference. It was the second
lost for Roma, and now, no margin of error… Roma have the advantage
of playing the home game against Udinese at the Olimpico Stadium.
The race towards the 3rd position continuing! Inter causing an upset at the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium by opening the score against Hellas Verona in the 13th minute with forward Rodrigo Palacio. A disappointment for Verona conceding another goal in the 63rd minute by Jonathan. This victory helps Inter jump to the 4th position, however, Fiorentina taking back the 4th position after defeating Chievo Verona. Fiorentina getting a penalty, but David Pizarro’s penalty was saved by goalkeeper Michael Agazzi.
Great achievement for Parma winning their 5th consecutive away games! Parma defeating AC Milan in San Siro with a 2-4. The ex Milan player forward Antonio Cassano scoring two goals. The final signature is by Jonathan Biabiany scoring the 4th goal of the game in the last minute. Definitely, it’s a crisis for AC Milan who were not only eliminated from the Champions League this season, but they won’t even make it to European competitions next season either…… bad, bad, bad situation for this U N R E C O G N I Z A B L E Milan. Milan going down from the 10th to the 12th position. It’s a disaster for Milan also being contested by the fans for the poor performance. Milan getting a blow in the 8th minute when Referee Celi gives a red card to goalkeeper Christian Abbiati resulting in the penalty converted by Cassano. Milan remaining with 10 players.
A ray of hope for Sassuolo leaving the 20th position after defeating Catania at the Mapei Stadium. Sassuolo jump to the 19th position while Catania go down to the 20th position. Another ray of hope is for Livorno leaving the relegation zone after defeating Bologna with a 2-1. Livorno jump to the 17th position while Bologna going down to the relegation zone in the 18th position.
Napoli not giving up to the 3rd position and claimed the full 3 points at the Olimpico di Torino Stadium in the 90th minute! A goal by forward Gonzalo Higuain enough to secure the victory and the race towards the second position.
Here is the situation. Juventus in the 1st position with 75 points and a positive goal difference of +45. AS Roma in the 2nd position with 58 points and a positive goal difference of +37. Napoli in the 3rd position with 55 points and a positive goal difference of +23. The Europa League zone. Fiorentina in the 4th position with 48 points and a positive goal difference of +17. Inter in the 5th position with 47 points and a positive goal difference of +17.
Relegation Zone: Bologna in the 18th position with 23 points and a negative goal difference of -20. Sassuolo in the 19th position with 21 points and a negative goal difference of -28. Catania in the 20th position with 20 points and a negative goal difference of -28.

Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A PREVIEW for
the
Serie A Week 28, 2013 – 2014 Season on Saturday 15, Sunday 16, and Monday 17 March
2014, matchday 28.
I hope you are all doing fine. So many expectations in this round especially from AC Milan to see their reaction after their elimination of the UEFA Champions League. Milan were the only Serie A team in Champions League and now are out defeated by Spain La Liga team Atletico de Madrid.
One thing not changing is the Serie A leadership. Juventus are the absolute leaders, practically without rival. The Scudetto almost a done deal for Juventus. As for the Europa League, a little suprise for Juventus because they got a 1-1 draw with Fiorentina. Only one of them will qualify to the Quarterfinals and will be decided on March 20. Not a good news for Napoli losing at the Dragao Stadium against FC Porto. Juventus will play the away game against Genoa at the Ferraris Stadium.
Another expectation in this round is to see how AS Roma will react after losing last week against Napoli. The gap with Juventus now are of 14 points!! Roma will have to fight hard to keep the second position because Napoli are desperately following them. Roma with 58 points and Napoli with 55 points… just 3 points difference. It was the second lost for Roma, and now, no margin of error… Roma have the advantage of playing the home game against Udinese at the Olimpico Stadium.
We can expect a tough battle in the European zone in this round. Not much difference between the 3 candidates. Fiorentina with 45 points holding the 4th position and they might lose it in case of losing to Chievo Verona at the Artemio Franchi. Inter have 3 choices. Inter either keep the 5th position by defeating Hellas Verona or risk going down to the 6th position in case of Parma defeating AC Milan at San Siro. The third option for Inter is hope for Fiorentina to lose and jump to the 4th position! Here is where most of the action will be happening the battle of Fiorentina, Inter, and Parma. Now, here is the thing. Parma might jump to the 4th position in case of Fiorentina and Inter losing their respective games!
Critical situation is in the relegation zone. Sassuolo practically saluting Serie A being in the 20th position with only 18 points! Sassuolo are the team conceding most goals in this season.
Here is the situation. Juventus 1st position with 72 points and a
positive goal difference of +44. AS Roma, 2nd position with 58 points
and a positive goal difference of +37. Napoli, 3rd position with 55
points and a positive goal difference of +23 The Europa League zone. Fiorentina,
4th position with 45 points and a positive goal difference of +15.
Inter in the 5th position with 44 points and a positive goal difference
of +15
Relegation Zone: Livorno in the 18th position with 21
points and a negative goal difference of -21. Catania in the 19th
position with 20 points and a negative goal difference of -26. Sassuolo

-30.

Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A ROUNDUP for
the
Serie A Week 27, 2013 – 2014 Season on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 March
2014, matchday 27.
Here is the situation. Juventus keeping the first position confirming the absolute leaders and most likely, conquering the Scudetto. Juventus defeating Fiorentina with the goal by midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah. On the other hand, AS Roma wasted their chances to keep up the race for the Scudetto after losing the game against Napoli at the San Paolo Stadium. Roma are now 14 points behind Juventus! Roma suffering their second defeat this season.
An unexpected blow for AC Milan looking to boost the morale of the team, yet, losing against Udinese at the Friuli Stadium. Udinese defeating Milan with the goal by Captain Antonio “TOTO” Di Natale in the 67th minute. Udinese 1 – 0 AC Milan. Certainly, not a good result for AC Milan coach Clarence Seedorf suffering his 2nd consecutive defeat. Point is that Milan needed this victory not only to climb the Serie A, but also to be ready for Atletico de Madrid. Milan will play the UEFA Champions League Second Leg of Round of 16 on Tuesday 11 March at the Vicente Calderon Stadium and need to revert the 0-1 to qualify for the next round or will be eliminated.
Here is the situation. Juventus 1st position with 72 points and a positive goal difference of +44. AS Roma, 2nd position with 58 points and a positive goal difference of +37. Napoli, 3rd position with 55 points and a positive goal difference of +23 The Europa League zone. Fiorentina, 4th position with 45 points and a positive goal difference of +15. Inter in the 5th position with 44 points and a positive goal difference of +15
Relegation Zone: Livorno in the 18th position with 21 points and a negative goal difference of -21. Catania in the 19th position with 20 points and a negative goal difference of -26. Sassuolo in the 20th position with 18 points and a negative goal difference of -30.
Up to Round 27, Week 27 most scored goals in favor: Juventus scoring 63 goals
Up to Round 27, Week 27 most scored against: Sassuolo conceding 55 goals
Up to Round 27, Week 27 best defense: AS Roma conceding only 12 goals.
