Here is the 2017-2018 Italian Serie A Week 14 Preview – Fourteenth Round on Saturday 25, Sunday 26 and Monday 27 November 2017.
Wow, let me tell you my friends. We might see a change in the status quo of the leadership. Yep, Napoli in the first position with 35 points after defeating AC Milan at the San Paolo Stadium wih a 2-1 last week can keep the ledership if they defeat Udinese at the Friuli Stadium. Inter reaching 33 points being now -2 points below Napoli. Howeer, the race for the Scudetto is still a 3-way road with Napoli, Juventus, and Inter.
Here is the situation. If Napoli lose the match agaisnt Udinese and Inter defeat Cagliari at the Sardegna Arena., bam, Inter will take the first position! Yeah, you are reading correctly. Last week, we had a turnover in the second position. Juventus stepping down from the 2nd to the 3rd position after being defeated by Sampdoria at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium with a 3-2. Inter climbing from the third to the second position after defeating Atalanta at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium with a 2-0.
We will see the debut of new Udinese coach Massimo Oddo after the sacking of coach Luigi Delneri.
Benevento is still the only team in the Serie A without a victory and losing all 13 games. Challenge i for Benevento to wake up and smell the coffee as time is runnng …… The return to Serie B next season is almost a reality.
