Hello my friends. Here is the Serie A PREVIEW Week 4 on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September 2015.
We have an interesting Serie A Round. The absolute truth for the moment is that the sole leader of the Serie A is not Juventus the defending champions, but INTER!!!! Yep, you are reading right. Inter is the only team winning all 3 games and having full 9 points after defeating AC Milan last week in the Milan Derby. Inter can keep the first position, regardless of the other results, if they defeat Chievo Verona at the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium.
It’s a wake up call for Italy’s defending champions. Juventus in the 16th position have lost 2 games and having 1 draw meaning they have only 1 point and a negative goal difference of -2. OUCH!
We have 6 teams having 7 points and all will battle to reach either the first position in case of Inter losing or to hold the second position. Sharing 7 points are Chievo Verona, AS Roma, Sampdoria, Torino, Sassuolo, and Palermo.
Two teams with 6 points are Fiorentina and Lazio. Both will play away teams, Carpi vs Fiorentina and Napoli vs Lazio. Not an easy task to win, surely, they will go the victory. Napoli, on paper, favorite to defeat Lazio at the San Paolo Stadium while Fiorentina favorites to defeat Carpi at the Alberto Braglia Stadium.
Genoa, AC Milan, and Udinese have 3 points each. The only 2 teams not winning yet are Bologna and Frosinone and will play against each other in this round. It’s a direct match to grab the first victory.
The top scorer up to Round 3: Sampdoria forward Citadin Ederr with 5 goals.
