Hello, my friends. Here are the Serie A Week 34 Results – Roundup, Thirty-fourth Round on Friday 28, Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 April 2017. There are 4 more games to end the Season on Sunday May 28 with 12 available points. Juventus unable to win the away game at the Atleti Azzurri D’Italia Stadium ending with a draw. Atalanta 2 – 2 Juventus.
The absolute leader of the Serie A continues to be Juventus with 84 points almost ready to collect their 6th Consecutive Scudetto.
We might say there were 2 upsets in this round, if we consider the 2 main local games lost their respective games losing precious points. First upset is AS Roma vs Lazio at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium. On paper, Roma were favorites to win this Derby
First upset is AS Roma vs Lazio at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium. On paper, Roma were favorites to win this Derby della Capitale. Yet, Lazio had a different script and claimed the bragging rights to rule the City of Rome after defeating the Roman gladiators: AS Roma 1 – 3 Lazio.
Second upset is Inter vs Napoli at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. Inter had everything to win this home game knowing they needed this victory to keep the dream alive to grab a spot in the Europa League next zone. Napoli also needed to win this away game to keep up the race towards the second position for the direct qualification to the Champions League next season. Well, hello, hello, hello…. Napoli defeated Inter thanks to the goal by Spanish forward José Callejón. Inter 0 – 1 Napoli.
Here is the importance of Napoli’s victory…. they are now just -1 point below AS Roma!!! It means the second position might change next round……

A good result as far as for the salvation battle ist hat of Palermo defeating Fiorentina at the Renzo Barbera Stadium. Palermo 2 – 0 Fiorentina. Palermo, mathematically speaking, can still dream with salvation to avoid relegation to the Serie B next season. Also, Crotone managing to stop AC Milan ending with a draw to claim at least 1 point and dream with salvation. Crotone 1 – 1 AC Milan. Not the same “hope” for Pescara by now winning only 2 games this season is ready to be relegated to the Serie B.
