Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A PREVIEW for Week 14 on Friday 5, Saturday 6, Sunday 7, and Monday 8 December 2014. Juventus are super motivated not only because they are the absolute leaders, but also because they won the Derby della Molle last week against Torino.

Challenge is for AS Roma to keep up the race for the Scudetto.  Roma cannot allow mistakes.  It’s up to Juventus to keep the leadership.  There are only 3 points difference.  Juventus having 34 points and AS Roma 31 points.

The top scorer up to Round 13: Juventus forward Carlos Tevez with 9 goals

Hello my friends. Here is  Italy Serie A PREVIEW for Week 11 on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 November 2014.    We have Juventus as the sole leader of the Serie A with 25 points.   It is up to Juventus to remain in the first position if they defeat Parma at the Juventus Stadium.  In case of Juventus losing, it will be up to AS Roma to reach Juventus with 25 points if they defeat Torino at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium.  However, in case of Juventus winning and Roma losing, then, the gap will be of +6 points for Juventus increasing their solo flight for the Scudetto.   We are still on Week 11 and nothing is taken for granted, yet.

There is an exciting race for the  2ndposition.   It’s a tense situation for AS Roma who lost their Champions League game against Bayern Munich.  In case of Roma losing against Torino, they might even lose the 2nd position.  Why?   Here is the situation.  Lazio and Sampdoria might take over the 2nd position because they have 19 points each and a victory will add to 22 points.    Lazio is playing the away against Empoli at the Carlo Castellani Stadium.   Sampdoria are playing the home against AC Milan at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium.

We are returning from European competition with AS Roma and Juventus in Champions League.   Plus, 4 Serie A teams in Europa League: Napoli, Inter, Fiorentina, and Torino played on Thursday 6 November.

• Saint Etienne 1 – 1 Inter, Goals 33′ Dodò,  50′ Moustapha Bayal
•  Fiorentina 1 – 1 PAOK, Goals  81′ Maarten Martens, 88′ Manuel Pasqual
• Napoli 3 -0 Young Boys, Goals 45′ Jonathan De Guzman, 65′ Jonathan De Guzman, 83′ Jonathan De Guzman
• HJK Henlsinki 2 – 1 Torino, Goals 60′ Gideon Baah,  81′ Valtteri Moren,  90′ Fabio Quagliarella

 

The top scorer up to Round 10: Napoli forward Jose Maria Callejon with 8 goals
