Here are HELLAS VERONA official called up players by coach Andrea Mandorlini for the game, Hellas Verona vs Juventus on Sunday 9 February 2014 at the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium in Verona, Italy for the Serie A Week 23
Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A PREVIEW for
the
Serie A Week 23, 2013 – 2014 Season on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 February
2014, matchday 23. It’s an exciting round as we expect to see a great Derby della Capitale, Lazio vs AS Roma! More than winning the bragging rights to rule the City of Rome, the Roman gladiators look to win this game to keep alive the race for the Scudetto with Juventus.
Juventus
have a 9-point gap ahead of AS Roma considering that Roma have a pending game after the match with Parma was postponed for heavy rain last week. Fact is that the leadership this week will not change. Juventus are inspired after crushing Inter and winning the Derby d’Italia.
Another exciting match this week is Napoli vs AC Milan. Napoli are in desperate need to start winning or risk losing the third position. Yet, AC Milan also in desperate need to win to climb the table. A defeat for Milan will be a blow, but also a major blow for Napoli in case of losing at the San Paolo Stadium. The third position battle this week is between Napoli and Fiorentina. Napoli might keep the third place in case of defeating Milan or getting a draw.
One thing that “might change” this week is the last position of the Serie A Table. Catania still in the rocking bottom. Catania having 15 points and even if it is going against all odds at the Ennio Tardini Stadium, Catania might grab a victory.
Here is the situation. Juventus in the 1st position with 59 points and a
positive goal difference of +38. AS Roma in the 2nd position with 50
points and a positive goal difference of +34. Napoli in the 3rd
position with 44 points and a positive goal difference of +18 The Europa League zone. Fiorentina

+16. Hellas Verona in the 5th position with 35 points and a positive

points and a negative goal difference of -18. Sassuolo in the 19th

Referee Daniele Orsato will direct the
Derby della Capitale in the Serie A Week 22 game, Lazio vs AS Roma and will be assisted by Di Liberatore and Cariolato while
fourth
official is Stefani. The game on Sunday 9 February 2014 at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium in Rome, Italy at 15:00
Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A ROUNDUP for
the
Serie A Week 22, 2013 – 2014 Season on Saturday 1, Sunday 2 and Monday 3 February
2014, matchday 22. Highlights in this round are the 2 derbies! The
Derby d’Italia Juventus vs Inter on Sunday 2 February and the Derby
della Lanterna Genoa vs Sampdoria moved to Monday 3 February.
Here is the thing. No matter the result in the Derby d’Italia, Juventus will remain the sole leader of the Serie A. Juventus
have a 6-point gap ahead of AS Roma. It’s just too bad the game Roma – Parma had to be postponed for the heavy rain making it impossible to continue playing at the Olimpico. Juventus crushing Inter, a total humiliation, total dominion by Juventus. Definitely, Juventus demonstrating why they are the sole leaders in Serie A and why they are pursuing their 3rd consecutive Scudetto…. strong candidate while Inter had to surrender and bow down…… Inter went down from the 5th to the 6th position.
Great victory for Udinese winning the away game at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium defeating Bologna. The morale for Udinese continuing high as they also are in the Coppa Italia Semifinal.
Bologna risking to fall in the relegation zone….. Bologna 0 – 2 Udinese. The goals by Udinese Captain Antonio Di Natale converting a penalty in the 15th minute and the goal by Nico Lopez in the 92nd minute.
A disappointment is for AC Milan unable to win the third consecutive win with coach Clarence Seedorf. Milan failing big time in San Siro going down by a goal to make a comeback in the second half. It’s a 1 point with a sound of defeat for the Rossoneri, but for Torino it comes with a sound of victory. The situation for Milan is getting complicated being also eliminated of the Coppa Italia, now risking to be out of European competition next season.
Another blow is for Fiorentina! Yep, Fiorentina losing 3 precious points on their quest to arrive to the third position. It is party time for Cagliari defeating Fiorentina at the Sant’Elia Stadium with the penalty converted by forward Mauricio Pinilla in the 39th minute. Cagliari 1 – 0 Fiorentina
Surprise, surprise. Napoli are falling, Napoli losing points game after game. A devastated defeat with a firm Atalanta. Napoli with risk of losing the third position after the humiliation at the Atleti Azzurri d’Italia Stadium. Atalanta 3 – 0 Napoli Two goals by the ex Napoli player forward German Denis! If Napoli lose next week, Fiorentina might take over the third position if they win against Atalanta!!!
The 76th Derby della Lanterna seeing Sampdoria winning the Derby in the 24th minute with forward Maxi Lopez scoring the only goal of the match.
As for news this week is the debut of Sassuolo coach Alberto Malesani
who replaced coach Eusebio Di Francesco. Let’s see how he does……
Here is the situation. Juventus in the 1st position with 59 points and a positive goal difference of +38. AS Roma in the 2nd position with 50 points and a positive goal difference of +34. Napoli in the 3rd position with 44 points and a positive goal difference of +18 The Europa League zone. Fiorentina in the 4th position with 41 points and a positive goal difference of +16. Hellas Verona in the 5th position with 35 points and a positive goal difference of +2
Relegation Zone: Livorno in the 18th position with 17 points and a negative goal difference of -18. Sassuolo in the 19th position with 17 points and a negative goal difference of -25. Catania in the 20th position with 15 points and a negative goal difference of -24.

Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A PREVIEW for
the
Serie A Week 22, 2013 – 2014 Season on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 February 2014, matchday 22. Highlights in this round are the 2 derbies! The Derby d’Italia Juventus vs Inter on Sunday 2 February and the Derby della Lanterna Genoa vs Sampdoria moved to Monday 3 February.
It’s an exciting round because what it seemed few weeks ago that the Scudetto was all for Juventus, now the race is alive. Yep. Juventus had an 8-point gap ahead of AS Roma, but now it is shortened to 6 points. Last week, Juventus failing to win their 13 consecutive
game by getting a draw with Lazio while Roma defeated Hellas Verona to claim the full 3 points.
Surely, the match not to miss is the DERBY d’ITALIA between Juventus – Inter!! Yep. Imagine the battle and pressure for Juventus not to lose or draw the game. Juventus cannot allow to lose the game and risk shortening the gap to 3 points with Roma in case of Inter winning the Derby! It’s the first Derby d’Italia in Serie A for president Erik Thohir…… Conte vs Mazzarri….. who will have the winner lineup? Point is that Inter also under pressure because a defeat might bring them down from the 5th to the 8th position depending on the result of Torino, Parma, and Hellas Verona! Bad thing for Juventus having goalkeeper Gigi Buffon suspended for this game.
As for news this week is the debut of Sassuolo coach Alberto Malesani who replaced coach Eusebio Di Francesco. Good news is for AS Roma, Fiorentina, Udinese and Napoli with motivation after qualifying to the Coppa Italia Semifinal. We might see a revamp from these teams also battling in top positions in Serie A, especially Roma.
Bologna coach Davide Ballardini is suspended this week. We will see vice coach Carlo Regno to lead the game against Udinese.
Challenge will be for the “relegation group” including Sassuolo, Livorno, and Catania. Pressure is for Catania in urgent need to start winning or really risk relegation. Catania in the last position have only 14 points, a gap of 42 points behind Juventus!!!
Here is the situation. Juventus in the 1st position with 56 points and a
positive goal difference of +36. AS Roma in the 2nd position with 50
points with a positive goal difference of +34. Napoli in the 3rd
position with 44 points and a positive goal difference of +21.
The Europa League zone. Fiorentina
in the 4th position with 41 points and a positive goal difference of
+17. Inter in the 5th position with 33 points and a positive goal
difference of +14.
Relegation Zone: Sassuolo in the 18th position with 17
points and a negative goal difference of -24. Livorno in the 19th
position with 16 points and a negative goal difference of -18. Catania
in the 20th position with 14 points and a negative goal difference of
-24.
Up to Round 21, Week 21 most scored goals in favor: Juventus scoring 51 goals

Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A PREVIEW for
the
Serie A Week 22, 2013 – 2014 Season on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 February 2014, matchday 22. Highlights in this round are the 2 derbies! The Derby d’Italia Juventus vs Inter on Sunday 2 February and the Derby della Lanterna Genoa vs Sampdoria moved to Monday 3 February.
It’s an exciting round because what it seemed few weeks ago that the Scudetto was all for Juventus, now the race is alive. Yep. Juventus had an 8-point gap ahead of AS Roma, but now it is shortened to 6 points. Last week, Juventus failing to win their 13 consecutive
game by getting a draw with Lazio while Roma defeated Hellas Verona to claim the full 3 points.
Surely, the match not to miss is the DERBY d’ITALIA between Juventus – Inter!! Yep. Imagine the battle and pressure for Juventus not to lose or draw the game. Juventus cannot allow to lose the game and risk shortening the gap to 3 points with Roma in case of Inter winning the Derby! It’s the first Derby d’Italia in Serie A for president Erik Thohir…… Conte vs Mazzarri….. who will have the winner lineup? Point is that Inter also under pressure because a defeat might bring them down from the 5th to the 8th position depending on the result of Torino, Parma, and Hellas Verona! Bad thing for Juventus having goalkeeper Gigi Buffon suspended for this game.
As for news this week is the debut of Sassuolo coach Alberto Malesani who replaced coach Eusebio Di Francesco. Good news is for AS Roma, Fiorentina, Udinese and Napoli with motivation after qualifying to the Coppa Italia Semifinal. We might see a revamp from these teams also battling in top positions in Serie A, especially Roma.
Bologna coach Davide Ballardini is suspended this week. We will see vice coach Carlo Regno to lead the game against Udinese.
Challenge will be for the “relegation group” including Sassuolo, Livorno, and Catania. Pressure is for Catania in urgent need to start winning or really risk relegation. Catania in the last position have only 14 points, a gap of 42 points behind Juventus!!!
Here is the situation. Juventus in the 1st position with 56 points and a
positive goal difference of +36. AS Roma in the 2nd position with 50
points with a positive goal difference of +34. Napoli in the 3rd
position with 44 points and a positive goal difference of +21.
