Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A PREVIEW Week 37 on Saturday 23, Sunday 24, and Monday 25 May 2015. There is only 1 more game after this round to end the 2014 – 2015 Serie A season.
Few things still to be defined in these 2 remaining games. Let’s recap. The clear fact is that Juventus already won the Scudetto with 4 games to spare and this week won also the Coppa Italia.
The second position is still to be defined. This is why the Derby della Capitale Lazio vs AS Roma on Monday 25 May is crucial. There is only 1 point difference between the two Roma having 67 points and Lazio 66 points. Why is so relevant to get the 2nd position? Well, it is important because it guarantees direct qualification to the Champions League next season. In this category, mathematically speaking, Napoli with 63 points can still make it to the 2nd position.
Situation is tough because Napoli will go to the Juventus stadium to face Juventus “the Champions of Italy.” Surely, coach Massimiliano Allegri won’t tolerate to lose his home game. Most likely Allegri will use a similar lineup with so-called reserve players as he did with the Coppa Italia final against Lazio. Up to Napoli to battle and cause the upset.
Another tough battle will be for a spot in Europa League next season. Here is the situation. In case of Napoli not making it to the 3rd position, then, mathematically speaking, Fiorentina, Genoa, Sampdoria, and Inter will have to win their respective games to keep the dream alive. There are only 6 more available points including this week. Problem will be for Genoa vs Innter as they are playing today in this direct match….. A defeat for Inter means goodbye Europa.
