Hello my friends. Here i s  Italy Serie A PREVIEW Week 4  on Tuesday 23, Wednesday 24, and Thursday 25 September 2014. There are only 2 teams winning all 3 games and ending with full 9 points: Juventus and AS Roma. The top 3 scorers up to Round 3 are Parma forward Antonio Cassano, AC Milan forward Jeremy Menez, and Inter forward Mauro Icardi all with 3 goals each this season.

In this round, we will see the race for the Scudetto for the moment is a two-way road drive with Juventus and Roma.

Torino is the only team not scoring a goal yet.  Will they score?  It’s time for Torino forwards to wake up and start scoring.  Don’t you think so?  I do.
