By Anna ItaliaHello my friends. I am barely completing this PREVIEW with a broken heart after the elimination from the Champions League of Fiorentina and AC Milan. Here is my PREVIEW of the Italian Serie A Week 28 - Twenty Eighth Round scheduled on Saturday, March 13 and Sunday, March 14, 2010. I am posting the preview early because the first match is on FRIDAY, March 12 with Catania - Inter. Thanks to Monica 08 helping me finish the stats.
The battle for the Scudetto is still alive with only 4 points difference between FC Inter having 59 points and AC Milan having 55 points, followed by AS Roma with 51 points. The interesting battle this week is for the 4th position having Palermo standing alone in the 4th spot. Palermo living the dream and it might continue if defeating Udinese, but closely following are Juventus and Sampdoria. The relegation area with Livorno, Atalanta and AC Siena, and knocking at the relegation area is Lazio with 26 points.

CATANIA - FC INTER
Angelo Massimino Stadium
Serie A Standing: Catania 15th position, 28 points
Inter 1st position, 59 points
Catania with the obligation to win the match to keep climbing the Serie A Table. However, it won't be easy as the Serie A top leader Inter is going to the Massimino for the 3 points. Inter still the leader but in the last games things have not gone perfectly. Inter with 4 draws losing 8 points and the difference with AC Milan holding the second position shrunk to 4 points.
Inter is playing this match on Friday because they have the pending Champions League match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge for the second leg. Sure, Inter will be thinking on the Champions League and a disadvantage for the squad is not having coach Jose Mourinho on the bench as this is the second banned match out of 3.
Let's put it this way, chances for Catania to have at least the draw might be possible. Bad news for Catania is that midfielder Cristian Llama is out for the rest of the season for a knee injury and might undergo surgery.
Here is the disciplinary situation. No suspended player for CATANIA. Five players with one yellow card: Delvecchio , Andujar, Martinez, Silvestre, Lopez. One suspended players for INTER, Samuel. One player with one yellow card: Eto'o.
Here is the probable formation for CATANIA (4-3-3) Andujar, Potenza, Silvestre, Terlizzi, Capuano, Izco, Biagianti, Ricchiuti, Martinez, Maxi Lopez, Mascara.
Here is the probable formation for INTER (4-3-1-2) Julio Cesar, Maicon, Lucio, Cordoba, Zanetti, Stankovic, Cambiasso, Muntari, Sneijder, Milito, Eto'o

It's a tough week for Fiorentina after being eliminated from the Champions League by Bayern Munich on the Round of 16 at the Artemio Franchi this Tuesday, March 9.
Fiorentina is losing big time and they have to pick up the pace at least to make it to the top 6 teams to be in the Europa League next season.
Napoli is the favorite on paper. Pressure will be high for Napoli, especiall y for strikers Lavezzi and Quaglairella because the last 3 home games have been a draw.

UDINESE - PALERMO
Friuli Stadium
Serie A Standing: Udinese 16th position, 28 points
Palemo 4th position, 46 points
This is the crucial match of the week for the famous 4th spot position. Palermo is the only one in the 4th position and they can either keep it or lose it. Traveling to Udine is not easy.

AC MILAN _ CHIEVO VERONA

Chievo Verona 11th position, 35 points
A total blow for AC Milan after the humiliating defeat and elimination from the Champions League at Old Trafford with Manchester United defeating them. Manchester United 4 - 0 AC Milan.
Milan now either collapse or put up a strong front. The season is still not over, but Milan cannot lose or draw in San Siro losing points at home instead of winning. We are not sure yet if Pato will be ready for this match, but Milan losing defender Alessandro Nesta for knee injury is affecting the defense. Making matters worst, it seems Luca Antonini is also out injured.
