Hello my friends.  Here is the Serie A PREVIEW for
the
Serie A Week 35, 2013 – 2014 Season on Friday 25, Saturday 26, Sunday 27, and Monday 28
April
2014, matchday 35.   Countdown my friends! 3 more games after this
Round and the 2013 – 2014 Serie A will end on May 18!   

This is an interesting round as the Scudetto seems to be a done deal for Juventus.  The top 3 positions will not change this week.  Mathematically speaking, Juventus will win the Scudetto in case of defeating Sassuolo and AC Milan defeating AS Roma.  Here is the thing. Juventus at the moment have 90 points having a +8 advantage over Roma and there are only 9 more points available after this round.  Juventus need to pick up the  pieces after losing the Europa League Semifinal First Leg against Benfica at the Estadio da Luz.  A victory agaisnt Sassuolo will set the train to recover in the Second Leg.
 
The battle will be in the 4th position.  Fiorentina with 58 points keeping might lose the 4th position in case of losing the game against Bologna.  Yet, Inter with 56 points will have to defeat Napoli to take over the 4th position. 

Tough race to grab the last spot for the Europa League in the 6th position.  Currently, Parma holding the 6th position with 51 points tight with AC Milan also with 51 points. Parma playing the away game against Cagliari at the Sant’Elia Stadium and AC Milan playing the away game against AS Roma.  In case of Parma and Milan losing, the chances to take over the 6th position will be for Torino, Lazio, and Hellas Verona all three having 49 points.  They will need to win their respective games. 

The relegation zone is a hot battle spot.  Desperation playing big time for salvation.
Catania playing the away game against Hellas Verona.  It’s a tense match because Verona are playing to grab a spot in Europa League while Catania playing to hope for a last race sprint to save themselves and remain in Serie A.   Livorno also with the pressure to win the home game against Lazio.  A defeat for Livorno will endanger their quest to remain in Serie A.  Tough race is for Bologna and Sassuolo both having 28 points.  Challenge for Sassuolo is to defeat Juventus at the Mapei Stadium to climb the Table and get away the relegation zone.
