Sampdoria V Juventus Preview »
On the H2H it doesn’t look good for Sampdoria, as they are 0-2-3 vs Juve here at Genoa since they were promoted back to Serie A in 2004. However, they did draw in their last 2, so that’s a step in the right direction. Juve may have won by 5-1 at home earlier this season, but back then Sampdoria were struggling big time, and where in the [...]
AC Milan V Napoli Preview »
It’s Milan all the way for me on this one. Not only are they 3-0-0 at home in Serie A, and also 3-0-0 vs Napoli at the San Siro since the year 2K, but because they now have their golden chance to leapfrog their arch-rivals Inter and take the top spot, even if it was for a few days (they play at Parma in the midweek, while Inter get to host [...]
Palermo V Inter Preview »
Inter may have a lot to brag about now that they are past Chelsea and into the last 8 in the Champions League, but they still have a major task to attend to on the domestic scene if they are to build on their European boost to defend their Serie A lead. With AC Milan stepping closer and closer towards the top of the table, Mourinho now has [...]
Bologna V Sampdoria Preview »
The visitors are constantly overpriced of late, and especially on the road. Why should Bologna be favourites here? Both teams are 3-1-1 on form from the last 5 games. Bologna are 1-1-1 at home from their last 3, and yes I do realize they lost to Juve and drew to Milan in them. However, Sampdoria are also 1-1-1 on the road from their last [...]
Fiorentina V AC Milan Preview »
After having lost to Man Utd in the CL last midweek, Milan bounced back through and away win over Bari in Serie A on Sunday. Unfortunately for them Roma also won, so they stayed 3rd on the table, but with this one game in hand. Should they win tonight they regain the 2nd spot, but more importantly will be only 4 points behind their bitter rivals, [...]
Fiorentina V Roma Preview »
In their last 5 visits to Florence, Roma have not been able to register a single win. They lost 2 and drew 3 of them, and the last time they won here was in 2005. Overall they are 3-6-5 away to Fiorentina since 1994. This season Fiorentina are 6-1-3 at home, while Roma are 3-5-3 on the road. Now knowing Fiorentina only won over Lazio in [...]
Bologna V AC Milan Preview »
I can’t stop now, can I? I mean, I backed Milan on the handicap vs Inter and they lost. I once again backed them at home vs Udinese (0-1) and Livorno (1-1). However, I feel it’s about time they won a game already, and precisely against a bottom half team! What’s more is Bologna are unbeaten in 4, and I know Milan just love to mess with [...]
Atalanta V Bari Preview »
I can’t say I like Atalanta this season, but I dislike Bari even more when they are on the road of late. Bari have managed only 1 point from their last 5 travels, and only 2 points from their last 7. They are 1-5-5 overall on their travels, but obviously the best days are long gone. Atalanta at least won over Lazio last time, they played at [...]
Inter V AC Milan Preview »
Roma moved a step forward and are now only 2 points behind AC Milan, but Milan have 2 games over the Giallorossi, including this one. Milan also have a game in hand over Inter with the latter standing 6 points ahead of the local arch-rivals, meaning Milan can actually be tied on points with Mourinho’s side if the win this one and also the game [...]
Lazio V Chievo Preview »
It was obvious last weekend that the Lazio players were exhausted after they had played Palermo in the cup the midweek before. Tired legs meant they were soundly beaten away at Atalanta. Again they played in the cup this midweek and this time around they lost to Fiorentina, but basically they also used their main string, and thus I would be [...]
Bologna V Cagliari Preview »
Bologna are a close to bottom side that will probably stay there until the very last game of the season, but the one thing that may save them is that we already have at least one side poorer than them both in Siena, although last night’s display by the latter at the San Siro was heroic. Also both Catania and Atalanta appear to be on the [...]
Juventus V Milan Preview »
Game of the round for sure, with 3rd hosting 2nd, and with Roma winning yesterday, thus climbing to 4th the heat is even greater on these two. Siena ‘almost’ offered the duo a new year’s present, but Sneijder and Walter Samuel had a different opinion, and Inter got the points as usual, so it looks like this will be a battle for 2nd [...]
