Hello my friends. Here is the 2017-2018 Serie A Week 35 PREVIEW / Thirty-fifth Round on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 April 2018. There are 3 more games to end the season with 9 available points after this round.
We have a thriller! The 170th Italy Derby will be played between Inter vs Juventus. A lot is at risk. Here is the situation. The race for the Scudetto is still a two-way race between Juventus and Napoli. Juventus losing the match last week against Napoli are only now +1 point above Napoli. Juventus remaining in the 1st position with 85 points while Napoli re-open the championship reaching 84 points. Simply put, Inter playing at home might stop Juventus and giving a helping hand to Napoli in case of defeating Juventus at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium.
Inter will look to defeat Juventus to claim all 3 points and keep up the race to get back to the 4th position. Why is this important? Hello, hello, hello….. Lazio took over the 4th position last week with 67 points and having now +1 point above Inter with 66 points.
