Italian Soccer Serie A

Hello, my friends. Here are the 2019-2020 Serie A Week 23 PREVIEW / Twenty-third Round on Friday 7, Saturday 8, and Sunday 9 February 2020.

We might have a change in the leadership in this round.  Juventus  is currently the sole leader of the Serie A after defeating Fiorentina with a 3-0 at the Allianz Stadium reaching 54 points and a positive goal difference of +22.    Inter with 51 points might take the leadership if Juventus lose the game against Hellas Verona at the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium.  Inter will have to win the Derby della Madonnina against AC Milan at the San Siro Stadium.

Lazio with  50 points might take the 2nd position away from Inter if AC Milan win the Derby.  Lazio will have to defeat Parma at the Ennio Tardini Stadium.  Surely, this is a round not to miss.  On top of this, we have the debut of new coaches.  Brescia sacked Eugenio Corini and the new coach is Diego Lopez.    Brescia will play against Udinese at the Stadio Mario Rigamonti.

The other new coach is Moreno Longo replacing former coach Walter Mazzarri.   Longo will make his debut against Sampdoria at the Olimpico di Torino Stadium.

👉 Up to Serie A Week 22: There is a three-way race between Juventus (54), Inter (51), and Lazio (50)

⚽️ Serie A Top Scorer up to Week 22:
Lazio forward Ciro Immobile with 25 goals

Hello, my friends. Here are the 2019-2020 Serie A Week 22 PREVIEW / Twenty-second Round on Saturday 1, Sunday 2, and Monday 2 February 2020.

This round will be full of expectations after the closing of the transfer market.  Players go and players come.   The race for the Scudetto in this round is a two way challenge. Last week, Juventus lost their second game this season against Napoli at the San Paolo Stadium.  However, Juventus remain the sole leader of the Serie A with 51 points followed by Inter with 48 points.  It means that Inter has the chance to take over the first position if Juventus lose the game against Fiorentina at the Allianz Stadium.  Inter will need to win the away game against Udinese at the Friuli Stadium.  Lazio is the clear challenge for Inter because Lazio have 46 points and a pending game!

👉 Up to Serie A Week 21: There is a three-way race between Juventus (51), Inter (48), and Lazio (46)

⚽️ Serie A Top Scorer up to Week 21:
Lazio forward Ciro Immobile with 23 goals

Torino with the pressure to redeem themselves after the humiliated defeat last week at the Olimpico di Torino Stadium.  Atalanta crushed Torino with a 7-0!
