Hello, my friends. Here is the 2019-2020 Serie A Week 2 Preview / Second Round on Friday 30, Saturday 31 August, and Sunday 1 September 2019.

We are now ready for the second round and time for adjustment or the status quo might remai the same.  The big clash is Juventus vs Napoli.   Juventus, the reigning champion, will receive Napoli (second place last season) at the Allianz Stadium.   The big clash seeing the big ex-Napoli Coach Maurizio Sarri and ex-player “Gonzalo Higuain.”  Sarri will not be on the bench still recovering and taking his place is Assistant Coach.   Juventus and Napoli won their respective games last week and have 3 points each.

Serie A tickets

Two derbies in this round… Derby dell’Emilia between Bologna vs SPAL.  The second derby is famous “Derby della Capitale”  Lazio vs AS Roma at the Olimpico. Roma will have to boost their performance because another defeat will just be putting the sign for “warning.”  Roma ended with a 3-3 draw against Genoa and will have to challenge themselves to claim the bragging rights to rule Rome or Lazio will continue their winning road.

Serie A tickets

Here is UDINESE vs AC MILAN Preview for the Serie A Week 1 game on Sunday 25 August 2019 at the Friuli Stadium in Udine, Italy at 18:00.

AC Milan with new Coach Marco Giampaolo will travel to Udine with the hope to grab a victory. Udinese will test their strength against this “not powerful Milan.”  It’s just sad to see the once glorious AC Milan struggling.

Surely, AC Milan having more pressure to start the season with a victory than Udinese.  AC Milan still dreaming with their return to the UEFA Champions League.  Imagine, AC Milan have been out of the Champions since the 2013-2014 Season!    AC Milan were banned from the Europa League for one year after breaking financial fair play rules.

The objective for Udinese will be to improve their standing from last season ending in the 12th place.  Motivation is high for Udinese after qualifying for the Coppa Italia Fourth Round.  According to Coach Igor Tudor, it is better to face AC Milan now than later.
