Just two points difference... one difference is the inspired Udinese forward Antonio Di Natale scoring last week 3 goals, a hat-trick against Lecce reaching 89 goals in the Serie A. Wow, just 11 more goals and he will reach 100.
DI Natale saying that "playing at the Olimpico always give great motivation. We have often done well in Roma and we hope to do so also this Saturday."
Wondering up to Week 12 Roma have not unveiled yet in all their pomposity "Adriano the Emperor....." When is Adriano going to make a smacking difference for the Roman gladiators?
Up to Week 12 top scorer for AS Roma is forward Marco Borriello with 5 goals and for Udinese is forward Antonio Di Natale also with 5 goals.
Anna Italia Prediction: AS ROMA
Brescia - Cagliari (before the match)
Stadium
Italy Serie A Standing: Brescia 18th position, 11 points
Cagliari 17th position, 1 points
This is a direct encounter. Brescia and Cagliari with the same 11 points. It's a match welcoming new Cagliari coach Roberto Donadoni after the sacking from ex coach Bisoli.
A defeat from Cagliari means going down to the relegation area . Also if Bari and Cesena win their respective games while Cagliari lose, then, hello, hello hello... Cagliari will be taking the elevator down to the very last position. It's a delicate match for Donadoni and moving the right pieces of the game is an all night study for him right now.
Let's put it this way. Cagliari slightly in advantage. Up to Week 12 Cagliari have scored 11 goals while conceding 11 having a goal difference of 0. Now, Brescia are in red numbers, scoring 10 goals while conceding 17 having a negative goal difference of -7. OUCH.
Anna Italia Prediction: BRESCIA

Click to Watch live AC MILAN vs FIORENTINA live streaming online Saturday November 20 2010
This is the week for a breakthrough and a rollercoaster ride at high speed for AC MILAN. Oh yeah, you better believe it. Here is the thing. AC Milan are the sole leaders with 26 points followed only by Lazio with 25 points. If AC Milan defeat Fiorentina and Parma defeat Lazio, then, set your seat belts because we are in for a high speed ride with AC Milan increasing the gap to 29 points.......
A victory for Fiorentina, causing an upset in San Siro, will be a smacking in the face of ex team from forward Alberto Gilardino. Even more... what about the ex rossonero Gilardino scoring the winning goal silencing San Siro? oh oh oh... I don't even want to image the picture and let's knock on wood, maybe?
Top scorer for AC Milan are forwards Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Alexandre Pato. Disadvantage for AC Milan the absence from Pato for injury. So, it will be up to Ibrahimovic to lead the attacking forces along Robinho. Question mark on whether Allegri will bring back in the starting lineup Berlusconi's protege "Ronaldinho."
Top scorer for Fiorentina is forward Alberto Gilardino with 5 goals.
It looks like stats favor AC Milan in the attacking field this season. Up to Week 12 AC Milan have scored 21 goals while conceding 11 having a positive goal difference of +10. Fiorentina have scored 13 goals while conceding 13 goals having an even goal difference of 0.

AC Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Will he skyrocket AC Milan this week with assists or goals?
Will it be the night of Alberto Gilardino?
TRIVIA: Did you know the last goal from a non Brazilian player in San Siro against Fiorentina was all the way back in March 2006? Yep... that's it. That time was AC Milan 3 - 1 Fiorentina with Luca Toni scoring for Fiorentina while for Milan scoring were Shevchenko, Kaka, and Gennaro Gattuso... last goal by a non Brazilian player made by the roaring lion Gattuso.
Stats in favor of AC Milan. In the last 4 games Milan-Fiorentina played in San Siro: All Brazilian goals with 2 victories and 2 draws.
Serie A 2006-2007, Milan-Fiorentina 0-0
in May 2007; Serie A 2007-2008 AC Milan 1 - 1 Fiorentina with a goal of former Brazilian milanista "Musica and Magia" Kakà in September 2007; Serie A 2008-2009 Milan-Fiorentina 1-0 with a
goal from Brazilian Alexandre Pato in January 2009; Serie A 2009-2010 AC Milan 1 - 0 Fiorentina 1-0 with a Brazilian goal by Ronaldinho Gaucho converting a penalty on May 1, 2010 for the Round 36. .

AC Milan Ronalidnho running to celebrate his goal after converting the penalty on May 1, 2010 blasting Fioretina goalkeeper Sebastien Frey remaining on the ground......
As for "scaramanzia" here is an interesting detail. Last time Fiorentina defeated AC Milan in San Siro was back in May 2001. Oh no... it means that knock on wood because it was precisely after AC Milan won the Milan Derby against Inter as hosts in the Meazza....... ooops...
Here is the disciplinary situation. AC Milan with one suspended player: Midfielder Ignazio Abate. Two players carrying a yellow card: Andrea Pirlo and Massimo Ambrisini. No suspended players for Fiorentina, only one player with a yellow card: Comotto.Here is the probable formation from FIORENTINA (4-2-3-1): Boruc, Comotto, Alessandro Gamberini, Natali, Pasqual, D'Agostino, Marco Donadel, Santana, Adem Ljajic, Juan Manuel Vargas, and Alberto Gilardino.

A huge gap between Cesena and Palermo, an 8 points difference. Cesena are preparing this home game with full concentration knowing clearly that they cannot afford a mistake. They can't lose this home game. Cesena coach having open training session on Thursday, but hello, hello, hello on Friday the training is "closed doors."
Cesena giving no hints to the opponents, but what about Palermo? Yeah, what's with Palermo? Well, Palermo having a double training session on Thursday while on Friday only one session in the afternoon. Palermo with the moral encouragement of having now many of their players considered by their national teams during the international friendlies on Wednesday: Goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu, defender Federico Balzaretti, defender Mattia Cassani, midfielder Javier Pastore, midfielder Armin Bacinovic, midfielder Josip Ilicic.
Cesena will have to super train their defense as up to Week 12 they have conceded 15 goals while scoring only 7 having a negative goal difference of -7.
Palermo are on a better road scoring 20 goals while conceding 17 having a positive goal difference of +3. Hum? So, hello, guys, Palermo also must work on the defense, the goals are there but also conceding way too many.... wake up guys.
Cesena had a testing friendly match game against Sammaurese on Thursday November 18, let's say to test the waters on the condition of the team to face Palermo for the victory or else. Cesena winning with smacking result of 7 - 0 scoring: 18' Bogdani, 22' Giaccherini, 24' Parolo, 36', 38' Bogdani, 49' Ighalo, 53' Malonga.
Good news for Palermo is that their running motor forward Fabrizio Miccoli is not injured, on the contrary.... Miccoli displaying fitness and motivating the squad to go for it.
Here is the disciplinary situation: One suspended player for Cesena: Benalouane. Two players with one yellow card: Nagatomo and Appiah. One suspended player for Palermo: Carrozzierri and three players carrying a yellow card: Cassani, Bacinovic, and Munoz.
Here is the probable formation for PALERMO (4-3-1-2): Salvatore Sirigu, Mattia Cassani, Ezequiel Munoz, Federico Balzaretti, Cesare Bovo, Migliaccio, Bacinovic, Antonio Nocerino, Josip Ilicic, Javier Pastore, and Fabrizio Miccoli.
Here is the probable formation for CESENA (4-3-3): Antonioli, Ceccarelli, Lauro, Von Bergen, Nagatomo, Schelotto, Colucci, Parolo, Giaccherini, Jimenez, and Bogdani.
Anna Italia Prediction: PALERMO
Chievo Verona - Inter Milan (before the match)
Bentegodi Stadium
Italy Serie A Standing: Chievo Verona 11th position, 16 points
Inter 5th position, 20 points

Referee: Rocchi Assistants: Niccolai and Papi Fourth Official: Pierpaoli
Wow, hard to believe that the defending champions Inter are down to the 5th position!!!!! Inter 6 points away the leaders AC Milan after losing the Milan Derby thanks to the goal of the ex Interista forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Inter traveling to the Bentegodi with the "emergency room alarm".... latest injury is that of defender Cristian Chivu during the international friendly game Romania 1 – 1 Italy.
Rumors about a possible sacking from Inter coach Rafael Benitez denied by Inter President Massimo Moratti reassuring that he is trusting Benitez. Adding to the support of Benitez is also midfielder Dejan Stankovic saying that "he is the right man for Inter now." Inter falling from grace while increasing the list of injured players forcing Moratti to look for the "shopping market in January."
Chievo are only 4 points away Inter and you bet a home victory will be a super boost to their morale. Can they make it? Oh well, you can rest assure Chievo coach are trying every single formation while analyzing the current situation of Inter too.. Is the moment of Chievo forward Sergio Pellissier to shoot a winning goal and crown himself in front of their fans.
It's also the big moment for Inter forward Diego Milito to get back in shape and be the decisive player as last year. Milito lately criticized for missing many goal opportunities and being slow. The one carrying Inter at this point is forward Samuel Eto'o... let's see if he can lead the team to victory.
Top scorer for Chievo is forward Sergio Pellissier with 4 goals while for Inter it is forward Samuel Eto'o with 8 goals.
Chievo have scored 11 goals while conceding 11 goals having a goal difference of 0. Inter have scored 13 goals while conceding 7 goals having a positive goal difference of +6.
Last game at the Bentegodi between Chievo - Inter the victory was for Inter with the goal by forward Mario Balotelli. It's also a nightmare as it was in this game when Chivu suffered the dangerous head clash with Sergio Pellissier and underwent surgery for a fractured skull now wearing a head protector every time he plays.

Italy Serie A Standing: Napoli 3rd position, 21 points
Bologna 15th position, 14 points
Referee: Andrea Gervasoni
Referee Gervasoni has directed 12 games for Napoli with a balance of 4 victories, 6 draws and 2 lost.
A victory will help Napoli to keep the 3rd position despite the results of the rest of the games. Napoli with 21 points while Juventus followed closely in the 4th position with 20 points and the second position for Lazio with 25 points.
The other scenario will be Napoli losing while Juventus defeating Genoa. In this case, Juventus will jump to the 3rd position and Napoli go down to the 4th or 5th depending also if Inter defeat Chievo Verona at the Bentegodi.
Napoli energized with the return to the goal of forward Ezequiel Lavezzi now pairing with forward Edison Cavani. Both played in the International friendly games with their respective countires. Lavezzi making the assist to Lionel Messi for the victory of Argentina against rvial Brazil. Argentina 1 - 0 Brazil
Not good luck for Cavani as his country Uruguay lost Chile 2 - 0 Uruguay.
Plus, Napoli Uruguay midfielder Walter Gargano sent off during the match.
Bologna living a "resurgence" after being many weeks in the relegation area. Wow, if Bologna manage to defeat or draw with Napoli will be a boost....
Top scorer for Napoli is forward Edison Cavani. Top scorer for Bologna is forward Marco Di Vaio with 7 goals. wow, wow, wow, so here we can have also a change in the top scorer leadership as Cavani and Inter forward Samuel Eto'o are leading the table with 8 goals each. Di Vaio might become the top leader if scoring at least 2 goals or score one to join the leaders ---- if any of the two not increase their respective goals.
Edison Cavani versus Marco Di Vaio
