Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Bologna, 17th position with 15 points and a negative goal difference of -16
Lazio, 10th position with 23 points and a negative goal difference of -3
Bologna coach Davide Ballardini debuts with a draw after the sacking of coach Stefano Pioli. This might be more a positive sign than negative for Bologna while for Lazio more negative than positive. On paper, Lazio having a stronger squad, yet, unable to defeat Bologna. Forward Miroslav Klose had the chance to open the score when the net was empty and failed. Not good for Lazio because they have not won an away game….. yet… In sum, 1 point better than 0, so for Ballardini is a good start.
Here is BOLOGNA official starting lineup by coach Davide Ballardini:
Disciplinary Situation before the game: 2 suspended players for BOLOGNA: Mantovani (1), Della Rocca (1)
2 suspended players for LAZIO: 6 Mauri (until May 2, 2014), 26 Radu (1)
Stats AFTER the game. Top scorer BOLOGNA: Forward Alessandro Diamanti and Panagiotis Kone with 4 goals each

Week 19
Hello my friends. I hope you are all doing fine. Here is the Serie A PREVIEW for
the
Serie A Week 19, 2013 – 2014 Season on Saturday 11, Sunday 12 and Monday 13 January 2014, matchday 19.
Let me tell you, guys. There is not a serious contender for the moment to bring down Juventus. Yep, incredible so, AS Roma had the first position for weeks and now they are down to the 2nd position while Juventus have a wide advantage of 8 points! Simply put, the status quo in the first position will not change whether Juvents win, draw, or lose.
The battle…. We might expect a battle for the second position between Napoli and Fiorentina. Napoli having 39 points playing the away game against Hellas Verona while Fiorentina with 36 points also playing an away game against Torino.
Expected debut for new AC Milan player Keisuke Honda creating an uproar among fans and the Japanese press ready for his debut.
Another expected game is Bologna vs Lazio featuring the debut of coach Davide Ballardini who replaced coach Stefano Pioli. Bologna in desperate need of points or falling in the relegation zone being just 1 point away. The challenge is for Ballardini to start with this home victory while Lazio also on their quest towards the top 5 position for European Competitions.
Here is the situation. Juventus in the 1st position with 49 points and a
positive goal difference of +31. AS Roma in the 2nd position with 41
points and a positive goal difference of +25. Napoli in the 3rd position
with 39 points and a positive goal difference of +18. The Europa League zone. Fiorentina

Hello my friends and Happy New Year 2014! Here is the Serie A ROUNDUP for
the
Serie A Week 18, 2013 – 2014 Season on Sunday 5 and Monday 6 January 2014, matchday 18. The first Roundup of 2014.
One thing is certain. The first position remains the same this week. Juventus have an 8- point advantage over AS Roma holding the second position with 41 poins. The duel among two Italian icons: Andrea Pirlo vs Francesco Totti…… and goalkeeper Gigi Buffon is won by Juventus, period. Juventus taking the lead over Roma in the 17th minute with the goal by midfielder Arturo Vidal. Juventus giving another gift to the fans in the 48th minute with the goal by Leonardo Bonucci. Roma remaining with 9 players after Referee Rizzoli gives RED CARD to midfielder Daniele De Rossi in the 75th minute and to defender Leandro Castan in the 76th minute. Juventus crushed Roma to show their dominion in the 77th minute when forward Mirko Vucinic converts a penalty with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner.
Chievo Verona – Cagliari ending with a goalless draw. Not a good result and Chievo fans whistle the team after the game. Cagliari had the chance to win the match in the 66th minute, but forward Mauricio Pinilla fails to convert the penalty conceded by Chievo defender Bostjan Cesar. Pinilla sends his right footed shot way too high! Tough situation for Chievo previously losing 2 consecutive games and seeing their ranking in danger to fall in the relegation zone.
The Tuscan Derby a constant battle with the final smile “viola, purple.” Yep, to the delight of Fiorentina president Andrea Della Valle and strong fan Conti watching the game from the tribune. Fiorentina open the score in the 66th minute with defender Gonzalo Rodriguez defeating Livorno goalkeper with a headed shot in the top left corner following a corner conceded by defender Ibrahima Mbaye.
AC Milan – Atalanta, the highlight of the game is seeing “KAKA” scoring his 100th goal with AC Milan. Kaka leading Milan to defeat Atalanta in San Siro by scoring 2 goals for a final result of 3-0 in San Siro.
Surprise of the round was the return of Inter forward Diego Milito after 3-month injury. Milito playing the last 15 minutes of the game. Lazio with a great satisfaction start the 2014 with a victory seeing their star forward Miroslav Klose scoring the only goal of the game. Great debut of Lazio coach Edy Reja on his second term with Lazio after replacing coach Vladimir Petkovic.
Here is the situation. Juventus in the 1st position with 49 points and a positive goal difference of +31. AS Roma in the 2nd position with 41 points and a positive goal difference of +25. Napoli in the 3rd position with 39 points and a positive goal difference of +18. The Europa League zone. Fiorentina 4th position with 36 points and a positive goal difference of +14. Hellas Verona in the 5th position with 32 points and a positive goal difference of +7
Relegation Zone: Sassuolo in the 18th position with 14 points and a negative goal difference of -21. Livorno in the 19th position with 13 points and a negative goal difference of -14. Catania in the 20th position with 13 points and a negative goal difference of -20.
Up to Round 18, Week 18 most scored goals in favor: Juventus scoring 42 goals
Up to Round 18, Week 18 most scored against: Sassuolo conceding 38 goals Top scorer up to Round 18: Fiorentina forward Giuseppe Rossi with 14 goals.
