Hello my friends. Here is  the PREVIEW for the Serie A Week 14 – Fourteenth Round on Saturday 28, Sunday 29, and Monday 30  November 2015.

We might have a new leader of the Serie A this week.   It’s up to Inter to keep the  sole leadership if they defeat Napoli at the San Paolo Stadium.     Napoli motivated after defeating Club Brugge in the Europa League.  Mathematically speaking, there are 4 teams with chances to be in the 1st position:  Inter, Napoli, Fiorentina, and AS Roma.

The awaited game is AC Milan vs Sampdoria!   We have the ex Sampdoria coach Sinisa Mihajlovic challenging his ex team.   Pressure is for Milan to win the home game to be among the top 5 position to be inside the European zone.

Palermo vs Juventus is another great game to watch!  yep.  Juventus highly motivated after defeating AC Milan last week.  Moreover, Juventus qualifying to the Champions League Knockout Stage after defeating Manchester City.

An expected battle for survival is among Frosinone, Hellas Verona, and Carpi.

The top scorer up to Round 13: Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuain with 10 goals

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.

It’s been a tough start for Italy’s Champions finding themselves down in the 15th position with just 1 victory this season.  The wake up call is urgent for Juventus to start winning as the dream to win their 5th Consecutive Scudetto seems now an impossible dream considering the big gap with Fiorentina and Inter in the first position having 15 points.

Bologna also in deep trouble with only 1 victory and in the last position.  Here is the interesting detail.. there are only 2 points difference between the two!  It seems incredible to see the giant Juventus struggling!  Let’s put it this way, hopefully, Juventus are now more than motivated to resume a winning path after defeating Sevilla in the Champions League Group Stage, ending Juventus 2 – 0 Sevilla.
