Italian Soccer Serie A

Hello, my friends. Here is the 2019-2020 Serie A Week 4 Preview / Fourth Round on Friday 20, Saturday 21, and Sunday 22 September 2019.

The Serie A leader is Inter with 6 points and a positive goal difference of +6.  Inter might keep the first position if they defeat AC Milan in the famous “Milan Derby.”  The vitory for Inter will give the full bragging rights to rule in Milan.  For AC Milan, the victory would be a much needed boost to climb towards the European zone.

Serie A tickets

Juventus under pressure to win the home game against Brescia.  Juventus  ended with a draw last week in the Serie A against Fiorentina at the Artemio Franchi Stadium with a 0-0.  The other draw , after leading, was in the Champions League Group Stage match against Atletico Madrid in Spain on Wednesday 18 September ending  with a 2-2.

Napoli is super motivated after wining the Champions League Group Stage against Liverpool on Tuesday 17 September at the San Paolo with a 2-0.
