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.

Hello my friends and Happy New Year 2014!  Here is the Serie A PREVIEW for
the
Serie A Week 18, 2013 – 2014 Season on Sunday 5 and Monday 6 January 2014, matchday 18.  

It’s the first preview of 2014 and you bet all Serie A teams are ready to start with a positive result.  However, it is Juventus the only team starting with 2014 with a big smile as sole leaders of the Serie A after 9th consecutive wins. 

Surely, Inter also with a smile as they ended 2013 as winner of the MILAN DERBY by defeating AC Milan at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium / San Siro.   It was the first derby della Madonnina for president Eric Thohir who had asked coach Walter Mazzarri to win it, and he did it thanks to the goal by forward Rodrigo Palacio. in the 86th minute.
 
What to expect in this Round?  Well, let me tell you that status quo in the first position will remain the same whether Juventus win, draw, or lose.  The gap with AS Roma holding the second position is of 5 points.  Juventus 46 points, Roma 41 points…. It seems the Scudetto race is a two-way because the third position is 10 points behind Juventus!  Yep, Napoli in the 3rd position with 36 points.

The big question in this round is to see whether Catania will start the year with a victory.  It’s just U N B E L I E V A B L E as Catania have won only 2 games this season!  Mamma mia!
 

As for the DERBY… hello, hello, hello.  This round we have the TUSCAN DERBY!!!  Fiorentina vs Livorno at the Artemio Franchi Stadium.  Fans waiting to see Fiorentina forward Giuseppe Rossi scoring.  Rossi is currently top scorer of the Serie A with 14 goals.
