Hello my friends! Here is the Serie A Week 11 Preview for the games on Saturday 28, Sunday 29, and Monday 30 October 2017.

Are you ready?  Wow, you bet I am!  It’s a super round because we might see a change in the leadership!   Here is the situation, the race for the Scudetto remains a three-way between Napoli, Inter, and Juventus.  Napoli is in the first position with 28 points after defeating Genoa at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium with a 2-3.  Inter is in the second position with 26 points just -2 point below Napoli.  The third serious contender is Juventus!    Juventus is only -3 points below Napoli.

Tough situation for Juventus because there is the big match AC Milan vs Juventus at the San Siro Stadium!   Milan won’t be an easy target as they also need –more than Juventus– to win this game.  Milan are fighting to earn points to be among the top 5 positions and currently they are in the 8th position with 16 points.

Benevento having the “unwanted record” of losing all their first 1- games in Serie A!. Benevento is the only team without points.

Hello my friends! Here is the Serie A Week 8 Preview for the games on Saturday 14, Sunday 15, and Monday 16 October 2017.    It will be a super interesting round because we are resuming the Serie A after the International break  for the World Cup qualifiers.

Here is the situation.  Up to Week 7, Napoli is the sole leader of the Serie A with 21 points winning all their 7 games having a positive goal difference of +20.   Napoli can keep the first position if they defeat AS Roma at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium.  Surely, Napoli highly motivated with their superb performance in Serie A.  Napoli will look to win the game to be ready for the Champions League match against Manchester City  on Tuesday 17 October at the Manchester Stadium.  Roma looking to win the home game and be ready for the Champions League game on Wednesday 18 October at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea.

The challenge will be for Juventus to get back to the winning path after losing their perfect score last week when ended with a 2-2 draw with Atalanta. Juventus went down to the second position with 19 points while Inter also with 19 points remain in the 3rd position.  Challenge for Juventus will be to defeat Lazio at the Allianz Stadium to keep up the race for the Scudetto.  A defeat will be a disaster for Juventus who are also preparing for the Champions League Group Stage next week against Sporting on Wednesday 18 October.

It won’t be easy for Juventus because Lazio is highly motivated after their astonishing  victory demolishing  last week Sassuolo at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium. Lazio 6 – 1 Sassuolo.

The awaited game could be the Milan Derby – Derby della Madonnina between Inter vs AC Milan at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium.   Inter having a wide advantage over Milan.  Inter having 19 points in the second position while Milan down to the 7th position with 12 points.

Another Derby is between Bologna vs  SPAL at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium.

Results from Serie A Week 7

• Udinese 4 – 0 Sampdoria
• Genoa 0 – 1 Bologna
• Napoli 3 – 0 Cagliari
• Benevento 1 – 2 Inter
• Lazio 6 – 1 Sassuolo
• AC Milan 0 – 2 AS Roma
• Torino 2 – 2 Hellas Verona
• Spal 1 – 1 Crotone
• Chievo Verona 2 – 1 Fiorentina
• Atalanta 2 – 2 Juventus

The top scorer of the Serie A Up to Week 7: Juventus forward Paulo Dybala with 10 goals.
