Hello my friends. Here are the results for the Serie A Week 7 – Seventh Round on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 October 2015.
The two-way race for the Scudetto between Fiorentina and Inter had 15 points before this round. Inter failing to defeat Sampdoria at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium and ended up with a draw falling now alone in the 2nd position with 16 points. Fiorentina living a great moment as they are defeating Atalanta at the Artemio Franchi Stadium reaching now 18 points and becoming sole leaders of the Serie A for the first time this season! Fiorentina are now +2 points above Inter.
The highlight in this round is the famous Verona Derby. However, far from being a memorable Derby, it ended with a draw. A tough situation for Hellas Verona remaining in the 19th position with just 4 points!
The good news is for Carpi! Yep! Carpi with a historical victory after defeating Torino because it is the first victory in Serie A after being promoted from Serie B. It’s just party time for Carpi because coach Giuseppe Sannino made his debut with Carpi with a victory!
Roma are crushing Palermo at the Renzo Barbera Stadium scoring already 3 goals in the first half. The final result is Palermo 2 – 4 AS Roma.
A total flop for AC Milan falling in San Siro! Napoli rocking and already scoring 3 goals while the somber face of coach Sinisa Mihajlovic says it all….. a flop. Adding a knife to injury, the own goal by Milan defender Rodrigo Ely to make it, AC Milan 0 – 4 Napoli
The top scorer up to Round 6: Sampdoria forward Citadin Eder with 6 goals.

The Verona Derby ends with a 1-1 draw and neither Chievo nor Hellas have full bragging rights to rule Verona. However, the draw helps more Chievo than Verona. Simply put, it’s total chaos for Hellas Verona remaining in the relegation zone with only 4 points and not winning a single game yet.
Hellas Verona temporarily dreaming with the victory when they opened the score. In the 70th minute, defender Eros Pisano defeating Chievo Verona goalkeeper Albano Bizarri with a headed shot in the bottom left corner. The assist is by defender Vangelis Moras. It’s a dubious goal as some consider it had to be ruled out for offside, but Referee Doveri not seeming to notice it.
It took Chievo 13 minutes after being down to react. In the 83rd minute Chievo equalizing thanks to the goal by midfielder Lucas Castro defeating Hellas goalkeeper Rafael with a headed shot in the top right corner. The assist is by defender Massimo Gobbi.
There are only 3 precedents between Chievo Verona and Hellas Verona in Serie A. The first Derby in the main league dates back to the 2001-2002 season under the leadership of coach Gigi Del Neri winning the Derby with a 2-1. Stats showing Chievo with 1 win, 1 draw, and Verona with 1 win.
Here is CHIEVO VERONA official starting lineup by coach Rolando Maran:
