Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A PREVIEW for Week30 on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 April 2015. The leadership of the Serie A will not change. Juventus being the sole leader with 70 points have a widely +14 points advantage. Juventus will play the away game against Parma who are in the last position. Challenge will be for Roma to keep the 2nd position with 56 points because Lazio is following closely and we might see a turning point here. It will be chaotic for Roma to lose, but the away game against Torino at the Olimpico di Torino is just adding pressure to the Roman gladiators. Here is the situation, Lazio with 55 points are playing the home game against Empoli. On paper, Lazio have better chances to win the game and will be a total celebration for them to see city rivals losing in Turin to take over the 3rd position.
Pressure for Napoli will be to win the next games and hope for Fiorentina (4) and Sampdoria (5) to lose points. Problem is tthat in this week we have the direct match Napoli vs Fiorentina! Napoli having 47 points and Fiorentina 49 points. The victory is a must for Napoli, but can Napoli and Fiorentina handle the pressure ahead of their Europa League matches next week too? Tough match…..
Juventus always closer to claim the Scudetto after defeating Empoli with a 2-0 thanks to the goals by Carlos Tevez and Robero Pereyra. Juventus reaching 70 points and keeping a clear advantage of +14 points ahead of Roma.
AC Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi highly motivated after winning last week at the Renzo Barbera Stadium defeating Palermo. Milan are still battling to make it to the Europa zone. Milan in the 8th position with 41 points are -7 points below of Sampdoria holding the 5th position with 48 points. Its’ now a face to face challenge with Milan vs Sampdoria at the San Siro Stadium.
The top scorer up to Round 29: Juventus forward Carlos Tevez with 17 goals.
