Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A PREVIEW for
the
Serie A Week 26, 2013 – 2014 Season on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 March
2014, matchday 26.
It’s an interesting round. First of all, 3 of the Serie A teams participating in Europa League qualified to the Round of 16. Juventus, Napoli, and Fiorentina are the happy ones, the sad news is for Lazio not making it.
It’s a fact that Juventus are rocking big time not only in the Serie A as absolute sole leaders, but also in Europa League. Juventus with 66 points having a +9 points advantage over AS Roma with 57 points. Yet, Roma not giving up and still have a pending game to recover with Parma. Juventus highly motivated also after winning the Derby della Mole defeating city rivals Torino last week. Challenge this week for Juventus will be to defeat AC Milan at the San Siro Stadium or even claiming a draw. The obligation is for AC Milan to win this home game and start building up a revival towards the top position.
Surely, another awaited game is AS ROMA vs INTER! Roma will look to defeat Inter at the Olimpico di Roma stadium to keep up the race for the Scudetto. Inter will need to create an upset if wanting to keep the 5th position. Inter not able to defeat Cagliari last week at the Giuseppe Meazza ending with a draw.
Good news in this round is for Catania finally leaving the last position of the Table. Catania are in the 19th position and their challenge is to defeat Genoa at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium.
Here is the situation. Juventus in the 1st position with 66 points and a
positive goal difference of +41. AS Roma in the 2nd position with 57
points and a positive goal difference of +38…
Napoli in the 3rd position with 50 points and a positive goal difference
of +20.
