Hello my friends. Here is Italy Serie PREVIEW for Week 9 – Matchday 9 on Tuesday 28, Wednesday 29, and Thursday 30 October 2014.  Juventus last week defeating Cesena keeping the first position with 22 points and 3 points ahead of Roma. The solo flight for the Scudetto continues…. all Juventus. Up to Roma to keep up the race and not slow down.

The top scorer up to Round 8: Napoli forward Jose Maria Callejon with 7 goals

 

A major blow for PARMA suffering another painful defeat to remain in the last position of the Serie A. Sassuolo defeating Parma at the Ennio Tardini Stadium: Parma 0 – 3 Sassuolo. Surely, it’s a black crisis for Parma sinking lower… almost predestining a spot in Serie B.
