Inter battling in the Champions League, Serie A and the Coppa Italia.
The contestants right now for the 4th position for a spot in the Champions League next year are Palermo, Sampdoria, Napoli, and Juventus.
Fighting for salvation are Atalanta, Siena, and Livorno. However, teams not really saved are Lazio and Udinese.

Two ongoing surveys:
- Who will win the 2009 - 2010 Italy Serie A Scudetto?
- Who will be the FOURTEENTH Coach to be Sacked in the 2009 -2010 Italian Serie A Season?
AS Livorno - Udinese (before thematch)
Armando Picchi Stadium
Serie A Standing: AS Livorno 20th position, 26 points
Udinese 16th position, 35 points
Livorno in the very rock bottom of the Serie A Table. On Monday, Livorno President Aldo Spinelli sacking coach Serse Cosmi and bringing back coach Gennaro Ruotolo to see whether he can save Livorno from relegation.
The precedents between Livorno -- Udinese are 17 including 9 games in Serie A and 8 in Serie B. The stats in favor of Udiinese winning 4 games in Livorno, 3 draws, and Livorno winning only 3, one in in Udine for a Serie A game. Udinsese scoring 25 goals while Livorno only 10. On paper, it seems the favorite is Udinese, but we never know how a"dying" team will react to survive in the Serie A.
Udinese only a shadow of what they were last year. Udinese fighting also for survival as they are only 4 points away Atalanta holding the 18th position. Top scorer of the Serie A is Udinese forward Antonio Di Natale with 21 goals while for Livorno top scorer this season is Lucarelli with 8 goals. Wow, a big difference.
Sure, Udinese traveling to Livorno with the boost to their morale after smashing Juventus last Sunday. Yet, Udinese struggling to win away games and now with "the urgent SOS" will be up to Di Natale and company to get this victory which will be a nightmare for Livorno.

Making matters worst for Livorno are the absence from Leonardo Miglionico and Alessandro Bernardini for injuries and out for the rest of the season.
Here is the disciplinary situation. No suspended players for Livorno. Eight players carrying one yellow card: Mozart, Miglionico, Bellucci, Vitale, Marchini, Diniz, Knezevic, and Perticone.
No suspended players for Udinese. Seven players carrying one yellow card: Sammarco, Zapata, Coda, Basta, D'Agosino, and Handanovic.
Here is the probable formation for AS LIVORNO (3-4-2-1): Rubinho;Perticone, Rivas, Knezevic; Raimondi, Moro, Filippini, Pieri; Bellucci,Tavano; Lucarelli
Here is the probable formation for UDINESE (4-3-3): Samir Handanovic;Ferronetti, Zapata, Lukovic, Pasquale; Isla, Paolo Sammarco, Asamoah;Alexis Sanchez, Antonio Di Natale, Simone Pepe
Anna Italia Prediction: UDINESE
AC Milan - Catania (before the match)
San Siro Stadium
Serie A Standing: AC Milan 3rd position, 63points
Catania 13th position, 38 points
AC Milan already wasting 2 chances to be in the leader overtaking Inter. Milan now not only depends on their own victories, but on the results from Inter and AS Roma. Milan are 3 pints behind Inter and 2 from Roma.
The stats in favor of AC Milan. In the Serie A Milan and Catania playing in single rounds 25 times: 14 victories for Milan, 2 for Catania and 9draws. Catania have not defeated AC Milan in San Siro in their 12 games, Milan having 9 victories and 3 draws. Goals also in favor of Milan with 29 while Catania scoring only 5.
The last precedent between Milan and the one currently coached by Sinisa Mihajlovic in the 2008 - 2009 Fifteenth matchday on December 7, 2008 ending 1 -0 with goal by Kaka.
Last draw on September 30, 2007 ending 1-1 goals by Martinez and Kaka equalizing the game in the 48th minute. For those loving the stats, imagine the match with most goals between Milan and Catania on May 22, 1965 valid for the 34th matchday. Hear this one.. Milan defeating Catania with the goaleada 6 - 1. OUCH.
Hello, hello, Catania not defeating Milan and the objective from coach Sinisa Mihajlovic is to defeat Milan in San Siro to bring home the 3 points. Wow, guys, if this happens, then pass the kleenex to the rossoneri for the crying. Leonardo checking every detail during trainings to make sure on the condition of the players.
Catania best shot to cause an upset are with forward Maxi Lopez and Giuseppe Mascara. Lopez celebrating his birthday last week by scoring 2 goals against Palermo and delivering the Sicilian Derby for Catania.
Here is the probable formation from AC MILAN (4-3-3): Dida, Gianluca Zambrotta, Thiago Silva, Giuseppe Favalli, Luca Antonini, Gennaro Gattuso, Andrea Pirlo, Massimo Ambrosini, Klaas Jan Huntelaar, Marco Borriello and Ronaldinho.
Here is the probable formation from CATANIA (4-3-3): Andujar, Alvarez, Spolli, Terlizzi, Ciro Capuano, Izco, Biagianti, Ricchiuti, Giuseppe Mascara, Maxi Lopez, and Takayuki Morimoto
Anna Italia Prediction: AC MILAN
Napoli - Parma (before the match)
San Paolo Stadium
Serie A Standing: Napoli 6th position, 49 points
Parma 10th position, 43 points
| Italy Serie A Week 34 Italy Serie A Week 34 Italy Serie A Week 35
Italy Serie A Week 36 Italy Serie A Week 37 |
Napoli to the quest of the 4th position for the Champions League just 2 points away from Palermo and Sampdoria. The stats in favor of Napoli not losing in the last four games. Bad news for Napoli is the last injury from midfielder Chrsitian Maggio undergoing a knee surgery surgery after injuring in the game against Lazio last week. Maggio will be out, reportedly, for 3 weeks.
The fever in Napoli visualizing the team in the Champions League is like a spreading roaring fire. This is why coach Walter Mazzarri is encouraging his players to be realistic and concentrate on all 6 games. An error will be enough to see vanishing the dream for the Champions.
Best shot for Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri is to trust the "magic and talented" midfielder Marek Hamsik. Hamsik is the top scorer for Napoli this season so far with 11 goals while Parma top scorer is forward Valeri Bojinov with 8 goals.
You bet Napoli would expect Chievo to defeat Palermo and Genoa to defeat Sampdoria. If both are defeated and Napoli beat Parma, then we will see Napoli in the 4th position!!! wow, yep!
Parma won't be seated and say the "OLE" for Napoli to overtake Palermo and Sampdoria. Hello, are you kidding... Parma still with the vision to be in the Europa League. Parma coach Francesco Guidolin with the positive road in the last 7 games not losing.
There have been 15 precedent games between Napoli - Parma: 10 in Serie A , 4 in Serie B and 1 in Coppa Italia. Stats in favor of Napoli.
8 victories Napoli
6 draws
1 victory Parma
22 gols Napoli
14 gols Parma
Last victory from Napoli on December 9, 2007 ending 1 - 0 with goal by Marcelo Zalayeta.
Last draw on December 23, 2000 ending 2 - 2.
The only victory of Parma back on December 14, 1997 with the smashing result 0 - 4, goals by Blomqvist, D. Baggio and a brace by Crespo.
No suspended players for PARMA. Seven players carrying one yellow card: Paci, Dzemaili, Dellafiore, Paloschi, Mirante, Lunardini, and Biabiany.
Here is the probable formation from NAPOLI (3-4-2-1): Morgan De Sanctis, Grava, Paolo Cannavaro, Leandro Rinaudo, Zuniga, Pazienza, Walter Gargano, Hugo Campagnaro, Marek Hamsik, Fabio Quagliarella, and Ezequiel Lavezzi.
Here is the probable formation from PARMA (4-3-1-2): Mirante, Zenoni, Christian Zaccardo, Dellafiore, Lucarelli, Valiani, Morrone, Galloppa, Jimenez, Jonathan Biabiany, and Hernan Crespo.

Fiorentina - Inter (before the match)
Artemio Franchi Stadium
Serie A Standing: Fiorentina 8th position, 45points
FC Inter 1st position, 66 points
It's a sweet and sour moment for Inter with all the ongoing declarations about another case of Calciopoli after revelation form some calls made by President Massimo Moratti about "supposedly" manipulating referee designations. Inter might lose the Scudetto assigned to the after the first "calciopoli case' when it was removed from Juventus.
Fiorentina also in deep trouble and failing so far with the objective to be among the top 4 teams for next year's Champions League. On the contrary, the happy guys are Inter not only qualifying for this year's Champions League Semifinal after 7 years, but also being in the top 4 this year to secure a spot for the Campions League next year.
Curiously, Fiorentina and Inter will play twice in less than a week in the same stadium! Yep! Sunday Fiorentina - Inter for the Serie A Week 33 and on Tuesday, April 14 the Semifinal of the Coppa Italia.
Here is the thing... what thing? Well, Inter coach Jose Mourinho, as the experienced tactician, will have to play his cards really well to balance all 3 fronts. For sure, we might see the first team on Saturday for this Serie A game. Expect some turnover for the Coppa Italia. Five days after, on April 18 it's the Serie A Week 34 and Inter will play against Juventus,and mamma miaaaaa "is Inter a bionic team?" Two days after, on April 20 Inter have the REAL McCOY big match of their season... ah? what? which one? Hello, hello, hello, the first round of the Champions League Semifinals at the Meazza against Barcelona with the mega poker Lionel Messi.
You bet Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli is considering every detail to defeat Inter at the Artemio Franchi. Challenge for Fiorentina forward Alberto Gilardino to deliver the winning goal or assist and for the "creative mind" of the viola midfielder Juan Manuel Vargas.
Is Gilardino saing "Watch out, I'm going to get you?"
One suspended player for FIORENTINA: Adrian Mutu. Two players carrying one yellow card: Marchionni and Juan Manuel Vargas.
No suspended players for INTER. Two players carrying one yellow card: Wesley Sneijder and Cristian Chivu.
Here is the probable formation from FIROENTINA (4-4-1-1): Sebastien Frey, Comotto, Per Kroldrup, Felipe, Gobbi, Santana, Bolatti, Riccardo Montolivo, Juan Manuel Vargas, Jovetic, and Alberto Gilardino.
Here is the probable formation from FC INTER (4-2-3-1): Julio Cesar, Maicon, Lucio, Walter Samuel, Cristian Chivu, Javier Zanetti, Estemban Cambiasso, Mrio Balotelli, Wesley Sneijder, Samuel Eto'o, and Diego Milito.
Inter is ready to win ALL....

Palermo - Chievo Verona (before the match)
Renzo Barbera Stadium
Serie A Standing: Palermo 4th position, 51points

Palermo might continue dreaming or waking up on Sunday. Yep! Palermo hold the 4th position, but also Sampdoria having the same 51 points. The remaining calendar for Palermo is tough and they cannot blink, period. Losing the Sicilian Derby against Catania was a major blow, but now time to shake up and start afresh.
President Maurizio Zamparini strongly believe that Palermo have made merits to be in the Champions League and supporting the team. Point is that Palermo will have to play the remaining 5 games without losing perspective. Sampdoria, Napoli and Juventus are so close and following them to take the 4th position.
For Palermo forward Edison Cavani the Champions League is not a dream, but the objective. Cavani reassuring today that he will renew his contract with Palermo.

It means that if Fiorentina defeat Inter, hello, hello, Roma will just need to defeat Alanta to take the first position of the Serie A Table.

Atalanta risking to be relegated might give a super performance and stop the Roman gladiators.
