Get this one guys.... what? Well, Inter might be declared winner of the Scudetto this Sunday? hum? what? really? Yep, yep, yep... with only 1 more game after this one, a victory against Chievo Verona with the combination from Roma vs Cagliari. Simply... if Roma draw or lose against Cagliari and Inter defeat Chievo .... that will be all "mathematically speaking" Inter will be the winner.......
Here is the scenario....
Inter ... 76 points
Roma ...74 points
Inter defeating Chievo Verona will result with Inter having 79 points
Roma draw with Cagliari will result with Roma having 75 points
Roma losing with Cagliari will result with Roma having 74 points
AC Milan now out of the race for the Scudetto with 67points. However, apart from the race for the Scudetto, the focus is on Palermo and Sampdoria both fighting until the last game to get the 4th position for the Champions League Play Off.
Sampdoria right now have the lead holding the 4th position with 63 points while Palermo have 61 points. The direct encounter at the Renzo Barbera Stadium this Sunday promises to be a SUPER CLASH .. it's all or nothing... win or lose.... a draw helps only Sampdoria who will still be in the leadership. If Palermo want to take back the 4th position, they will have to defeat Sampdoria, simple as 1+ 1 = 2.
.
Fighting for salvation are Lazio, Bologna, Atalanta, Siena, and Livorno. Livorno already with their one way ticket for relegation to the Serie B. Lazio and Bologna need to win their respective game to be saved.... a defeat and victory from Atalanta might put Lazio down to their knees to pray for salvation. Why? Hum? Well, is it comes to same points between Lazio and Atalanta, Lazio will be relegated because Atalanta have the best part in direct encounter with Lazio.

hey, if you are wondering who is the player leading the orchestra.... that's defender Cristian Chivu!!!
Technically speaking, Inter is superior in every field compared to Chievo Verona. It is almost unthinkable that Inter could lose this game. However, nothing makes sense in soccer and Chievo might cause a final surprise by defeating Inter... which is almost an impossible dream....
A problem for Inter might be the absence for injury from midfielder Wesley Sneijder who had to be substituted in the 4th minute during the Coppa Italia final having problems with his right leg after Roma defender Nicolas Burdisso committed a foul on him. Inter coach Jose Mourinho giving today "Thursday, May 6" the day off to the team and will resume training for Chievo on Friday.

Two suspended players for Chievo Verona: Morero and Pinzi. Four players carrying one yellow card: Iori, Marcolini, Sorrentino, and Bianchi.
Here is the probable formation from FC INTER (4-2-3-1): JulioCesar,Maicon,Cordoba, Walter Samuel, Javier Zanetti, Dejan Stankovic, Esteban Cambiasso, Samuel Eto'o, Muntari, Mario Balotelli and Diego Milito
Here is the probable formation for CHIEVO VERONA(4-3-1-2): Sorrentino; N. Frey, Yepes, Mantovani; Jokic, Sardo, Rigoni, Marcolini, Bentivoglio, DePaula, and Sergio Pellissier.

Palermo will have the support from an entire city who have jumped in Palermo bandwagon with the "fever to support the team" It's a historic moment not only for Palermo, but also for Sampdoria who have done a great season leaving behind traditional teams occupying the top 5 positions: Juventus, Fiorentina, Lazio....
Here is the thing guys. Whether Palermo or Sampdoria lose this game, the teams deserved a standing ovation from their respective fans.
Pressure will be for Sampdoria to resist the constant roar at the Renzo Barbera Stadium.
It is a battle, a bloody battle... no gimmicks here, but a tough match to play and win. A draw won't help Palermo.

Anna Italia Prediction: DRAW
Napoli - Atalanta (before the match)
San Paolo Stadium

Atalanta 18th position, 35points
Oh my gosh!!!!!! wow, wow, wow. Here is a match where each player will be tested and giving their best performance knowing the about the importance for winning. Say who? Well, let me tell you... Napoli already out of the race for the Champions League play off because the battle for the 4th position is just between Sampdoria and Palermo. However, Napoli cannot lose this game and neither next one when they will face Sampdoria at the Luigi Ferraris.
If you are still wondering what's the big deal about this game? ONE single point separating Napoli's dream to be in the Europa League because Juventus have 55 points. It means if Napoli draw or lose against Atalanta wile Juventus defeat Parma.. then, say it loudly HEY HEY HEY... Napoli will live an agonizing last game because Juventus would take away the 6th position leaving out Napoli from the Europa League.
Though, wait, there is more..... Atalanta who are "technically" still fighting for salvation will need a victory and hope for Lazio to lose the last 2 games. Hum? Yep! Atalanta can save themselves only if Lazio lose their last 2 games and Atalanta winning their last 2. Chances for Atalanta to defeat Napoli in the San Paolo not that high. But hold on... don't run so fast... in agonizing, desperation moments either Atalanta become the "GREEN HULK" and demolish Napoli and hope to defeat at home Palermo next week.... wow, wow, wow... what a scenarioooooo just like a thriller!!!!!!Anyway, out of the 46 games between Napoli - Atalanta played in Napoli for the Serie A, Serie B and Coppa Italia (one except played in neutral terrain in Livorno 1959/1960).

Luigi Ferraris Stadium
Italy Serie A Standing: Genoa 8th position,48 points
AC Milan 3rd position, 67points
Genoa without pressure for a spot in the Champions or the Europa League. The pressure and "big time" is for AC Milan. Yep. Although Milan is alone in the 3rd position, a combination of results from Sampdoria and Palermo in these last 2 games might see Milan falling from grace....
Two games totaling 6 points.... and bear with me... here is the "danger for Milan." Samdoria with 63 points are only 4 points away from Milan. If Milan lose against Genoa and Sampdoria defeat Palermo, guess what? What! You guessed it right, it will be a chaotic nervous breakdown for Milan because the distance will be just 1 point.
Ok, wait, wait, wait.. With one more game, Milan would have to defeat Juventus in San Siro next week, which won't be a soft chewy brownie to chew..... Juventus would want to close the season on a high note qualifying "at least to the Europa League," which a victory is a must for them.
You see why Milan must defeat Genoa? Having said that... Genoa President Preziosi declaring though their official website, "It's been adifficult season due to the injuries. Despite everything we are eighth,in the left side of the table and in line with our objectives. Now wewant to finish the season well even if we're without many players.Beating Milan? It won't be easy, we'll try. Mistakes? We made some inour plans. We are thinking of how to improve, our effort goes in thatdirection."
Good and bad news for Milan... Pato returning from injury and also defender Alessandro Nesta. Yet, last minute test showing Nesta is not ready ...
Here is the disciplinary situation. No suspended players for Genoa, but coach Gian Piero Gasperini is suspended for this game. Five players carrying one yellow card: Robert Acquafresca, Bocchetti, Scarpi, Suazo and Alberto Zapater.
One suspended player for AC MILAN: Massimo Ambrosini. Three players carrying one yellow card: Thiago Silva, Clarence Seedorf, and Giuseppe Favalli.
Here is the probable formation for GENOA (4-4-3_: Scarpi, Tomovic, Papasthatopoulos, Bocchetti, Mesto , Omar Milanetto, Juric, Criscito, Sculli, Robert Acquafresca, and Rodrigo Palacio.
Here is the probable formation for AC MILAN (4-2-1-3): Dida, Ignazio Abate, Thiago Silva, Daniele Bonera, Luca Antonini, Andrea Pirlo, Mathieu Flamini, Clarence Seedorf, Huntelaar, Marco Borriello and Ronaldinho.

Olimpico di Roma Stadium
Italy Serie A Standing: AS Roma 2nd position, 74 points
Cagliari 13th position, 43 points
Talking about the morale of the team... imagine the sad faces, frustration... Yeah.. Roma losing the Coppa Italia final on Wednesday, May 5 in the Olimpico by a goal from Inter forward Diego Milito. Making matters worst, Roma icon Francesco Totti sent off in the very last minutes for a bad foul on forward Mario Balotelli.
Point is that Roma had the chance to stop Inter's fast race and get the first title. However, the magician Special One had a better plan and Roma ending up "too nervous." Now, the pressure for Roma to win and hope for Inter to draw or lose against Chievo Verona. If Roma and Inter win their respective games, the final decision will be in the last game.
Cagliari have nothing to lose. They will just go to the Olimpico and try to get the 3 points. You bet Inter fans will be rooting for Cagliari.
Here is the disciplinary situation. One suspended player for ROMA: Marco Cassetti. Two players carrying one yellow card: John Arne Riise, and Mirko Vucinic.
One suspended player for CAGLIARI: Andrea Cossu. Five players carrying one yellow card: Nene, Agostini, Astori, Jeda, and Cossu.
Here is the probable formation from AS ROMA (4-2-3-1): Julio Sergio, Burdisso, Philippe Mexes, Juan, JohnArne Riise, David Pizarro, Daniele De Rossi, Jeremy Menez, Simone Perrotta, FrancescoTotti, Vucinic.
