Hello my friends. Here is the Preview for the Serie A Week 7 – Seventh Round on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 October 2015.

We expect an exciting round as there is the duel for the leadership. Inter lost the sole leadership last week after being defeated by Fiorentina. It is now a battle from the distance as Inter will look to defeat Sampdoria in the away game at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium and hope for Fiorentina to draw or lose against Atalanta to take back the leadership. Inter and Fiorentina having both 15 points each.

An interesting game is that of the Verona Derby. Chievo Verona vs Hellas Verona playing for the bragging rights to rule Verona. There is also the awaited debut of new Carpi coach Giuseppe Sannino after replacing Castori who was sacked after losing to Roma with a 1 – 5 result.

Big game also in San Siro Stadium between AC Milan vs Napoli. Both teams in need to get points to be among the top 3 teams. Pressure is for Milan to win this home game.

The top scorer up to Round 6: Sampdoria forward Citadin Eder with 6 goals.

Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A PREVIEW Week 4 on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September 2015.

We have an interesting Serie A Round. The absolute truth for the moment is that the sole leader of the Serie A is not Juventus the defending champions, but INTER!!!! Yep, you are reading right. Inter is the only team winning all 3 games and having full 9 points after defeating AC Milan last week in the Milan Derby. Inter can keep the first position, regardless of the other results, if they defeat Chievo Verona at the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium.

It’s a wake up call for Italy’s defending champions. Juventus in the 16th position have lost 2 games and having 1 draw meaning they have only 1 point and a negative goal difference of -2. OUCH!

We have 6 teams having 7 points and all will battle to reach either the first position in case of Inter losing or to hold the second position. Sharing 7 points are Chievo Verona, AS Roma, Sampdoria, Torino, Sassuolo, and Palermo.

Two teams with 6 points are Fiorentina and Lazio. Both will play away teams, Carpi vs Fiorentina and Napoli vs Lazio. Not an easy task to win, surely, they will go the victory. Napoli, on paper, favorite to defeat Lazio at the San Paolo Stadium while Fiorentina favorites to defeat Carpi at the Alberto Braglia Stadium.

Genoa, AC Milan, and Udinese have 3 points each. The only 2 teams not winning yet are Bologna and Frosinone and will play against each other in this round. It’s a direct match to grab the first victory.

The top scorer up to Round 3: Sampdoria forward Citadin Ederr with 5 goals.

Precedents between Fiorentina vs Genoa are 44 game with stats showing Fiorentina with 29 wins, 12 draws while Genoa winning only 3. Fiorentina scoring 92 goals and Genoa 38 goals. Definitely, a tough mission for Genoa because they have not won at the Artemio Franchi Stadium since 39 years!!!!!

It’s a big challenge for Frosinone to start climbing the Serie A after losing the first two games of the season. For Roma, the objective is to win the away game to keep their lead ahead of Italy’s champions Juventus! There are no precedents between the two teams as Frosinone just promoted to Serie A.

Frosinone having a -3 negative goal difference and surely will look to score in this game. Ideally, Frosinone look to win this home game to delight their fans.

Incredible so, Juventus with “0” points with the pressure to win the first game this season in Serie A. Chievo Verona in the first position with full 6 points winning their 2 games. It’s an urgent call for Juventus, defending Italy’s Champions, to start winning. A victory for Juventus will boost the morale of the team ahead of next week Champions League game against Manchester City on 15 September at the Etihad Stadium Stadium Manchester in England.

Juventus will see the debut of new signing midfielder Hernanes. Point is that this “New Juventus” lacking consistency after the departure of the 3 key players Carlos Tevez, Andrea Pirlo, and Arturo Vidal.

Here is the Serie A Preview Week 2 for the 2015 -2016 Italian Serie A Week 2 – Second Round on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 August 2015. We are looking for an interesting round seeing the big match AS ROMA vs JUVENTUS. In the past, Juventus would be leading while Roma trying to catch up. Surprisingly, last week Juventus started the season with a historic defeat in their own stadium defeated by Udinese. Now, Juventus, currently, Italy’s Champions will look to redeem themselves and show their dominion against the Roman gladiators. Question is whether Roma will be a passive team or finally wake up to show Juventus they can beat them too.

The top scorer up to Round 1: Sampdoria forward Citadin Eder and Sampdoria Luis Muriel with 2 goals each.
