Hello my friends! Here is the Serie A Week 11 Preview for the games on Saturday 28, Sunday 29, and Monday 30 October 2017.

Are you ready?  Wow, you bet I am!  It’s a super round because we might see a change in the leadership!   Here is the situation, the race for the Scudetto remains a three-way between Napoli, Inter, and Juventus.  Napoli is in the first position with 28 points after defeating Genoa at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium with a 2-3.  Inter is in the second position with 26 points just -2 point below Napoli.  The third serious contender is Juventus!    Juventus is only -3 points below Napoli.

Tough situation for Juventus because there is the big match AC Milan vs Juventus at the San Siro Stadium!   Milan won’t be an easy target as they also need –more than Juventus– to win this game.  Milan are fighting to earn points to be among the top 5 positions and currently they are in the 8th position with 16 points.

Benevento having the “unwanted record” of losing all their first 1- games in Serie A!. Benevento is the only team without points.

Results from Serie A Week 10

The top scorer of the Serie A Up to Week 10: Lazio forward Ciro Immobile with 13 goals.
