Here are SAMPDORIA official called up players by coach Sinisa Mihajlovic for the game, Sampdoria vs Livorno on Sunday 9 March 2014 at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genoa, Italy for the Serie A Week 27 at 15:00.
Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A PREVIEW for
the
Serie A Week 27, 2013 – 2014 Season on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 March
2014, matchday 27. It’s time to get back to Serie A after the International Friendly Game: Spain 1 – 0 Italy on Wednesday 5 March.
Here is the situation. Status quo in the top 3 positions will not change this week. Juventus in the 1st position with 69 points are the absolute leaders keeping a wide lead of +11 points over Roma having 58 points. Juventus with the challenge to win the home game against Fiorentina. Juventus not only leading Serie A, but also they have the top scorer of the Serie A. Yep. Forward Carlos Tevez scoring 14 goals so far followed by Fiorentina forward Giuseppe Rossi with 13 goals.
We might expect a reaction from AS Roma after ending with a 0-0 draw against Inter at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium. Roma will be playing the away game against Napoli at the San Paolo Stadium. It’s a must win for both teams to keep their high ranking. Napoli also ending with a draw last week against Livorno. Challenge is open now to get back to the winning path.
Pressure high for AC Milan facing Udinese at the Friuli Stadium. Milan taking a blow last week after losing in San Siro against Juventus. Milan will need to start believing in themselves to gain points. Milan will be motivated to defeat Udinese at the Friuli Stadium to boost the morale of the team ahead of the Champions League game against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday 11 March at the Vicente Calderon Stadium in Madrid.
The battle this week will be for the 5th position. Inter with 41 can keep the 5th position if they defeat Torino at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. Inter might lose the 5th position if they lose the match and either Parma or Hellas Verona, having 40 points each, win their respective games.
As for the relegation area, there is Bologna vs Sassuolo at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium. On paper, Bologna favorite to win. Sassuolo having the pressure to cause an upset and defeat Bologna to gain momentum for salvation. A defeat for Sassuolo means they will remain in the 20th position.
Here is the situation. Juventus in the 1st position with 69 points and a
positive goal difference of +43. AS Roma in the 2nd position with 58
points and a positive goal difference of +38…
Napoli in the 3rd position with 52 points and a positive goal difference
of +22.
The Europa League zone. Fiorentina
in the 4th position with 45 points and a positive goal difference of
+16. Inter in the 5th position with 41 points and a positive goal
difference of +14. Parma in the 6th position 40 points and a positive
goal difference of +10.
Relegation Zone: Livorno in the 18th position with 21
points and a negative goal difference of -19. Catania in the 19th
position with 19 points and a negative goal difference of -26. Sassuolo
with 17 points and a negative goal difference of -30.

Up to Round 26, Week 26 most scored against: Sassuolo conceding 55 goals
Up to Round 26, Week 26 best defense: AS Roma conceding only 11 goals

Juventus again confirming their dominion in Serie A, nothing else to say.
The first blow is for AS Roma unable to defeat Inter at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium. Roma were obligated to win the home game to keep up the race for the Scudetto with Juventus. This draw gives only 1 point to Roma reaching 58 points and might see the gap with Juventus to -11. Roma did score a goal, but Referee Bergonzi ruled it out because forward Mattia Destro was caught offside.
Inter also failing to defeat AS Roma and their chances to keep the 5th position with 41 points. Hellas Verona failed to take back the 5th position after the 0-0 draw against Bologna at the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium remaining with 40 points. There is only 1 point difference with Inter.

Serie A Standing AFTER the game:
Livorno, 18th position with 21 points and a negative goal difference of -19
Napoli, 3rd position with 52 points and a positive goal difference of +22
Livorno battling for salvation while Napoli going to the Armando Picchi Stadium to keep the 3rd position. Napoli looking to get closer to the 2nd position seeing only 7 points difference after Roma draw with Inter with a 0-0. A victory for Napoli will put them to 54 points shortening the gap to 4 points, though, Roma having a pending game with Parma which was previously postponed.
Napoli opening the score in the 32nd minute after Referee Mazzoleni grants a penalty to Napoli conceded by Livorno defender Federico Ceccherini for a foul on Napoli forward Goran Pandev bringing him down. Livorno players protest, but Mazzoleni not changing his decision. Taking the penalty spot is forward Dries Mertens converting the penalty with a right footed shot defeating Livorno goalkeeper Francesco Bardi in the center.
Mamma mia! Livorno equalizing after a mess between Napoli goalkeeper Pepe Reina and defender Miguel Britos! In the 39th minute, the action starting with the assist by midfielder Djamel Mesbah with a cross towards the center while goalkeeper Reina anticipating to block the action… Here is the thing, the bim bam boom… defender Britos and Reina almost clashing to clear the ball while Livorno midfielder Ibrahima Mbaye from close range defeat Reina with a left footed shot in the bottom left corner. It seems there will be an own goal assigned to Reina for deviation…..
First half ending 34% ball possession Livorno and 66%
