Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A PREVIEW for Week 31 on Saturday 18, Sunday 19, and Monday 20 April 2015.   We have an interesting round not for the 1st position because that seems a spot for Juventus with 70 points having a +12 points ahead of Lazio with 58 points.

What we will be following closely is the race towards the 2nd and 3rd position.   It’s a big challenge for Lazio to go to the Juventus Stadium to defeat Juventus.  Lazio can keep the 2nd position only if they defeat Juventus.  Now, here is the other situation.  AS Roma with 57 points can take back the 2nd position if Juventus defeat Lazio and Roma defeat Atalanta.

The super match to follow is the MILAN DERBY!   Yep, my friends.  Inter vs AC Milan. There is only 1 point difference and both teams are battling not only to win the Milan Derby, but also to pursue their last minute sprint towards the Europa League next season.  Milan in the 9th position with 42 points and Inter in the 10th position with 41 points.  Are you kidding me!  Hello… it will be a super duel between Inter forward Mauro Icardi and A CMilan forward Jeremy Menez both top scorer for their respective teams with 16 goals each.   Wondering who will score the winner goal… oh my gosh….

Agonizing battle for the last 3 teams in the relegation zone whether they will survive or just accept their reality to go to Serie B….. OUCH.

 

The top scorer up to Round 30: Juventus forward Carlos Tevez with 17 goals.

Hello my friends. Here is  the Serie A PREVIEW for Week30 on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 April 2015.   The leadership of the Serie A  will not change.  Juventus being the sole leader with 70 points have a widely +14 points advantage.   Juventus will play the away game against Parma who are in the last position.     Challenge will be for  Roma to keep the 2nd position with 56 points because Lazio is following closely and we might see a turning point here.  It will be chaotic for Roma to lose, but the away game against Torino at the Olimpico di Torino is just adding pressure to the Roman gladiators.  Here is the situation,  Lazio with 55 points are playing the home game against Empoli.  On paper, Lazio have better chances to win the game and will be a total celebration for them to see city rivals losing in Turin to take over the 3rd position.

Pressure for Napoli will be to win the next games and hope for Fiorentina (4) and Sampdoria (5) to lose points.  Problem is tthat in this week we have the direct match Napoli vs Fiorentina!    Napoli having 47 points and Fiorentina 49 points.  The victory is a must for Napoli, but can Napoli and Fiorentina handle the pressure ahead of their Europa League matches next week too?   Tough match…..

Juventus always closer to claim the Scudetto after defeating Empoli with a 2-0 thanks to the goals by Carlos Tevez and Robero Pereyra. Juventus reaching 70 points and keeping a clear advantage of +14 points ahead of Roma.

AC Milan coach  Filippo Inzaghi  highly motivated after winning last week at the Renzo Barbera Stadium defeating Palermo.   Milan are still battling to make it to the Europa zone. Milan in the 8th position with 41 points are -7 points below of Sampdoria holding the 5th position with 48 points.   Its’ now a face to face challenge with Milan vs Sampdoria at the San Siro Stadium.

 

The top scorer up to Round 29: Juventus forward Carlos Tevez with 17 goals.

Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A PREVIEW for Week 29  on Saturday 4 April 2015. How are you?   I am so happy returning to the Serie A games after the international break is over.  Wow, guys, we are set for a super mega day!   All 10 Serie A games will be played on Saturday because Sunday is “Easter.”   It’s a marathon starting at 12:30 with the big  match AS ROMA – NAPOLI at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium.

The first position will not change and by now, guys, hello.. I think Juventus already won the Scudetto having only 9 more games to go… Juventus with 67 points leading with +14 points over Roma with 53 points.

Wow, wow, wow…. what a tense match, pressure for both… However, Roma are the ones with the obligation to win the game, period.  Here is the situation.  Roma might risk losing the 2nd position if they lose against Napoli.   Roma having 53 points and followed by Lazio in the 3rd position with 52 points!   Really?  Yep!   On paper, Roma are favorites to win at the Olimpico while Lazio have to play the away game against Cagliari at the Sant’Elia Stadium.

The challenge in this round will be to see who can really make it to the “Europa League zone” and who have chances for “salvation.”     The only team with the suitcase almost ready for relegation is Parma being in the 20th position with just 9 points!!!!!

The top scorer up to Round 28: Juventus forward Carlos Tevez with 16 goals.

Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A PREVIEW for Week 24  on Friday 20, Saturday 21, Sunday 22, and Monday 23 February 2015. In this round, we have the featured game “Derby della Lanterna” between Sampdoria vs Genoa.  Interestingly, both having 35 points and now dueling for the bragging rights to rule Genoa.

One thing is certain.  The first 2 positions will not change despite the result.  Juventus having 54 points in the 1st place while AS Roma having 47 points in the 2nd position.

Special situation is about the match Parma vs Udinese postponed.  The announcement made on Friday 20 Feb by FIGC President Carlo Tavecchio after a meeting knowing that  the Italian Footballers’ Association and the Italian Association of Soccer Coaches   have expressed discomfort of players and coaches from both teams to play behind closed doors.   The game Parma–Udinese has been postponed to a later date which will be fixed by the Lega Serie A .

 

The top scorer up to Round 23: Juventus forward Carlos Tevez with 14 goals followed by Inter forward Mauro Icardi with 13 goals
