Hello my friends and Happy New Year 2014! Here is the Serie A PREVIEW for
the
Serie A Week 18, 2013 – 2014 Season on Sunday 5 and Monday 6 January 2014, matchday 18.
It’s the first preview of 2014 and you bet all Serie A teams are ready to start with a positive result. However, it is Juventus the only team starting with 2014 with a big smile as sole leaders of the Serie A after 9th consecutive wins.
Surely, Inter also with a smile as they ended 2013 as winner of the MILAN DERBY by defeating AC Milan at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium / San Siro. It was the first derby della Madonnina for president Eric Thohir who had asked coach Walter Mazzarri to win it, and he did it thanks to the goal by forward Rodrigo Palacio. in the 86th minute.
What to expect in this Round? Well, let me tell you that status quo in the first position will remain the same whether Juventus win, draw, or lose. The gap with AS Roma holding the second position is of 5 points. Juventus 46 points, Roma 41 points…. It seems the Scudetto race is a two-way because the third position is 10 points behind Juventus! Yep, Napoli in the 3rd position with 36 points.
The big question in this round is to see whether Catania will start the year with a victory. It’s just U N B E L I E V A B L E as Catania have won only 2 games this season! Mamma mia!
As for the DERBY… hello, hello, hello. This round we have the TUSCAN DERBY!!! Fiorentina vs Livorno at the Artemio Franchi Stadium. Fans waiting to see Fiorentina forward Giuseppe Rossi scoring. Rossi is currently top scorer of the Serie A with 14 goals.
