Hello my friends. Here is  the PREVIEW for the Serie A Week 14 – Fourteenth Round on Saturday 28, Sunday 29, and Monday 30  November 2015.

We might have a new leader of the Serie A this week.   It’s up to Inter to keep the  sole leadership if they defeat Napoli at the San Paolo Stadium.     Napoli motivated after defeating Club Brugge in the Europa League.  Mathematically speaking, there are 4 teams with chances to be in the 1st position:  Inter, Napoli, Fiorentina, and AS Roma.

The awaited game is AC Milan vs Sampdoria!   We have the ex Sampdoria coach Sinisa Mihajlovic challenging his ex team.   Pressure is for Milan to win the home game to be among the top 5 position to be inside the European zone.

Palermo vs Juventus is another great game to watch!  yep.  Juventus highly motivated after defeating AC Milan last week.  Moreover, Juventus qualifying to the Champions League Knockout Stage after defeating Manchester City.

An expected battle for survival is among Frosinone, Hellas Verona, and Carpi.

The top scorer up to Round 13: Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuain with 10 goals
