Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:

Livorno, 18th position with 21 points and a negative goal difference of -19
Disciplinary Situation before the game: No suspended players
Here are SAMPDORIA official called up players by coach Sinisa Mihajlovic for the game, Sampdoria vs Livorno on Sunday 9 March 2014 at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genoa, Italy for the Serie A Week 27 at 15:00.
Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A PREVIEW for
the
Serie A Week 27, 2013 – 2014 Season on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 March
2014, matchday 27. It’s time to get back to Serie A after the International Friendly Game: Spain 1 – 0 Italy on Wednesday 5 March.
Here is the situation. Status quo in the top 3 positions will not change this week. Juventus in the 1st position with 69 points are the absolute leaders keeping a wide lead of +11 points over Roma having 58 points. Juventus with the challenge to win the home game against Fiorentina. Juventus not only leading Serie A, but also they have the top scorer of the Serie A. Yep. Forward Carlos Tevez scoring 14 goals so far followed by Fiorentina forward Giuseppe Rossi with 13 goals.
We might expect a reaction from AS Roma after ending with a 0-0 draw against Inter at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium. Roma will be playing the away game against Napoli at the San Paolo Stadium. It’s a must win for both teams to keep their high ranking. Napoli also ending with a draw last week against Livorno. Challenge is open now to get back to the winning path.
Pressure high for AC Milan facing Udinese at the Friuli Stadium. Milan taking a blow last week after losing in San Siro against Juventus. Milan will need to start believing in themselves to gain points. Milan will be motivated to defeat Udinese at the Friuli Stadium to boost the morale of the team ahead of the Champions League game against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday 11 March at the Vicente Calderon Stadium in Madrid.
The battle this week will be for the 5th position. Inter with 41 can keep the 5th position if they defeat Torino at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. Inter might lose the 5th position if they lose the match and either Parma or Hellas Verona, having 40 points each, win their respective games.
As for the relegation area, there is Bologna vs Sassuolo at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium. On paper, Bologna favorite to win. Sassuolo having the pressure to cause an upset and defeat Bologna to gain momentum for salvation. A defeat for Sassuolo means they will remain in the 20th position.
Here is the situation. Juventus in the 1st position with 69 points and a
positive goal difference of +43. AS Roma in the 2nd position with 58
points and a positive goal difference of +38…
Napoli in the 3rd position with 52 points and a positive goal difference
of +22.
The Europa League zone. Fiorentina
in the 4th position with 45 points and a positive goal difference of
+16. Inter in the 5th position with 41 points and a positive goal
difference of +14. Parma in the 6th position 40 points and a positive
goal difference of +10.
Relegation Zone: Livorno in the 18th position with 21
points and a negative goal difference of -19. Catania in the 19th
position with 19 points and a negative goal difference of -26. Sassuolo
with 17 points and a negative goal difference of -30.
Up to Round 26, Week 26 most scored goals in favor: Juventus scoring 62 goals
Up to Round 26, Week 26 most scored against: Sassuolo conceding 55 goals
Up to Round 26, Week 26 best defense: AS Roma conceding only 11 goals
