Cagliari - AC Milan  (before the match)
Sant'Elia  stadium
Italy Serie A Standing: Cagliari 13th position, 20  points
                                          AC Milan 1st position, 36 points

Referee: Rizzoli  Assistants: Passeri and Copelli  Fourth Official: Russo 

It's the match not to miss. Why? Not only AC Milan might lose the leadership, but also it's the return of ex Cagliari coach Massimiliano Allegri to the Sant'Elia stadium.  Plus, the confrontation of Milan with his ex player Roberto Donadoni now coaching Cagliari.

Allegri coached Cagliari from May 29 2008 to April 13 2010 when he was removed by Cagliari President Cellino

 Here is the thing guys. AC Milan  will  keep the leadership  either win, draw, or lose.  Hum? what? really?  Yep.  AC Milan  have 36 points following closely are Napoli and Lazio with 33 points each.  So, even if Milan lose htis game  the goal difference is in big favor for Milan having +16 compared to Napoli +9, and Lazio +8. 

Certainly AC Milan not looking to abandon the leadership.  A boost to the morale of the team the victory in the international friendly match in Dubai for the  Emirates Challenge Cup Al Ahly 1 - 2 AC Milan   goals by Clarence Seedorf in the 38th minute and Beretta in the 73rd minute while for Al Ahly scoring was Hassan in the 85th minute.. 



Let's put it this way... curiosity to see new AC Milan player Antonio Cassano in action while Cagliari forward Alessandro Matri who was also rumored to transfer to Milan will try to show what they "missed." Gattuso already warned Cassano to behave and if he misbehaves that he rather lock himself in a room and throw the key. Kind of ironic the transfer from Cassano after disrespecting his ex president Sampdoria boss.... and now playing for the best team.  A reward?

 Top scorer for Cagliari is Alessandro Matri with 8 goals while top scorer for AC Milan is forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic with 9 goals.

AC Milan captain Massimo Ambrosini won't count iwth teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic  who is suspended for this game.

Here is the disciplinary situation. AC Milan with one suspended player: forward  Zlatan Ibrahimovic while midfielders Massimo Ambrosini and Andrea Pirlo carrying one yellow card.  Cagliari without suspended players  Three players with one yellow card:  Andrea Cossu, Nainggolan, and Alessandro Matri.
Cossu, Nainggolan, Matri


Cagliari captain Daniele Conti declared: “Milan are a team full of champions. We know Ibrahimovic’s class, but the Rossoneri are able to survive anyone’s absence. Of course, it’s going to be a pleasure to meet Allegri. We’ve spoken recently. He knows us well, he’ll probably try to take special measures to stop us.”

Here is the thing guys, current stats are in favor of AC Milan.  In the last 6 HOME games Cagliari have 3 win and 3 lost.  In the last 6 AWAY games AC Milan have 5 win and 1 draw.  However, Milan tends to struggle at the Sant'Elia.

Will Alessandro Matri  surprised AC Milan and send them home with a defeat?

Here is the probable formation for CAGLIARI (4-3-1-2): Agazzi, Pisano, Canini, Astori, Agostini, Biondini, Daniele Conti, Nainggolan, Andrea Cossu, Nene, and Alessandro Matri.


Here is the probable formation for AC MILAN (4-3-1-2): Christian Abbiati; Ignazio Abate, Alessandro Nesta, Thiago Silva, Luca Antonini, Strasser, Gennaro Gattuso, Massimo Ambrosini, Seedorf, Pato and Robinho.

Inter - Napoli  (before the match)
Giuseppe Meazza  stadium
Italy Serie A Standing: Inter 7th position, 23  points
                                          Napoli 2nd position, 33 points

Referee: Rocchi  Assistants: Padovan and Di Fiore  Fourth Official: Mazzoleni.


Media attention will be focused on new Inter coach the ex AC Milan player-coach Leonardo replacing Rafael Benitez.  Let's clarify that Inter still have 2 games to recover against Cesena and Fiorentina.  These games were postponed because Inter were playing the 2010 FIFA World Club Cup  where they won!  woohooooo

  Things not going as expected for Inter with a last minute injury from first goalkeeper Julio Cesar during training . Yep,  Inter official website confirming  Julio with a "slight strain to his femoral bicep in this left hamstring." So,  we might see second goalkeeper Luca Castellazzi back in action.  Hum?  I though a draw for this game, but now after  the absence from Julio, Sneijder and Eto'o I will  move towards Napoli for an upset at the Meazza with  Cavani-Lavezzi along goalkeeper Morgan De Sanctis.

 Treatments and physiotherapy for Wesley Sneijder; and Coutinho carried out a complete recovery session.


Inter President Massimo Moratti is convinced Leonardo will be the  man to rescue Inter putting them back among the top 3 teams.  Another motivating player is Captain Javier Zanetti welcoming Leonardo and forward Diego Milito looking to start 2011 with  goals.  

"This challenge was too great to resist, and unexpected, and I just couldn’t refuse.” Official Presentation Inter Coach Leonardo Wednesday December 29 2010

Last training of Inter on Wednesday will be closed door... and let's see how it goes for Leonardo.

Current stats in favor of Inter.   In the last 6 HOME games Inter have 3 win, 2 draws, and 1 lost.  In the last 6 AWAY games Napoli have 2 win, 3 lost, 1 draw

General stats big time in favor of Inter.  There have been 70 games including 67 in the Serie A and 3 in Coppa Italia  between Inter - Napoli at the Giuseppe Meazza and the stats  smiling to Inter.

48 victories Inter
15 draws
 7 victories Napoli
151 goals for Inter
 68 goals for Napoli

Last victory from Inter on September 23 2009 Inter 3 - 1 Napoli. Goals by Samuel Eto'o, Diego Milito, and Lucio, scoring for Napoli Ezequiel Lavezzi.

Wow, last victory for Napoli at the Meazza all the way back on December 11 1994 Inter 0 - 2 Napoli with goals by Jonk own goal and Cruz.

Here is the disciplinary situation.  Inter with one suspended player:  Forward Samuel Eto'o.  One player with one yellow card:  midfielder Dejan Stankovic.  No suspended players for Napoli.  Three players carrying one yellow card: Marek Hamsik, Ezequiel Lavezzi, and Michele Pazienza.

The game also is a battle for the Serie A top scorer Napoli forward Edison Cavani with 10 goals and Inter forward Samuel Eto'o with 9 goals.   However, Eto'o is suspended for this game.  Cavani with a goal  can  become e the sole elader of the Serie A only if Udinese forward Antonio Di Natale does not score because both have 10 gals each right now.

The man of the moment without a doubt is Napoli forward Edison Cavani having a brilliant season after his transfer from Palermo to Napoli.

Here is the probable formation from INTER (4-2-3-1): Castellazzi, Maicon, Lucio, Ivan Cordoba, Javier Zanetti, Cambiasso, Motta, Stankovic, Biabiany, Goran Pandev, Milito.

Palermo - Sampdoria (before the match)
Renzo Barbera stadium
Italy Serie A Standing: Palermo 6th position, 27 points
                                          Sampdoria 8th position, 23 points

Referee: Celi  Assistants: Rosi and Alessandroni  Fourth Official: Gervasoni

Just 4 points difference between Palermo and Sampdoria.  Palermo  looking to  climb the Serie A table and remain among the top 6 teams while Sapdoria looking to survive the reorganization after the departure from their star forward Antonio Cassano.   Sampdoria with a pending game to recover against Genoa which was postponed for bad weather on Week 17.

Here is an interesting record with Palermo-Sampdoria playing for the third time in the last 4 years  the opening game for a new year.  In 2008 the game was at the Ferraris with Sampdoria 3  - 0 Palermo, in 2010 the game also at the Ferraris Sampdoria 1 - 1 Palermo.  This  is the time for Palermo to grab the victory at the Renzo Barbera Stadium.

Oh my gosh, adding a drama  othe game Palermo-Sampdoria is the record of Sampdoria coach Domenico Di Carlo not able to win a game after a Christmas break. So, you bet, this time Di Carlo instead of eating the Panettone must be on his knee praying for a victory.  Di Carlo wants to tsta 2011 iwth a victory "and see Sampdoria at the top where they belong."

Testing the waters... Palermo with a friendly match on Monday January 3 resulting Palermo 18 - 0 Villabate.
Sampdoria also with a testing  friendly match resulting Sampdoria 10 - 0 Vado.  Goals by Koman scoring a hat-trick, brace by Fornaroli, Pazzini, Mannini, Marilungo, and Pozzi.

Forward Massimo Maccarone looking to reach  his record of 100 goals.   Currently, Maccarone  have scored 97 goals including 47 in Serie A, 26 in Serie B and 24 in Serie C-2.   

Palermo is the only team in this 2010-2011 season not receiving  penalties in favor.   Imagine the last time Palermo got a penalty granted was back on May 16 2010 during the match Atalanta-Palermo when Cavani was still a Palermo player.  It's no wonder why Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini constantly protests for injustice when referees not concedes clear penalties opportunities for Palermo.  On the contrary, Sampdoria, along Chievo Verona and Fiorentina not receiving penalties against this season. Get this one... what?  Last  penatly agaisnt Sampdoria precisely in the match Palerm0-Sampdoria on May 9 2010 where Fabrizio Miccoli converted the penalty.

Sampdoria players  ended the 2010 with a defeat BRESCIA 1 - 0 SAMPDORIA, now, they want to start 2011 with a victory.  Sampdoria still have to recover the Serie A Week 17 game SAMPDORIA - GENOA postponed for bad weather after  snow and ice making it impossible to play.

Another interesting stat is that Palermo and Sampdoria along Cagliari and Inter not receiving a Red Card yet.  Last time Palermo got a red card  was on March 24 210 for ex defender Simon Kjar in the game Genoa 2 - 2 Palermo.  For Sampdoria last time getting a Red Card was on February 20, 2010 in the game Inter 0 - 0 Sampdoria the red card for forward Giampaolo Pazzini.

Looking to celebrate his 100 appearance in Serie A is Sampdoria forward Nicola Pozzi.  Pozzi have played for Empoli and Sampdoria and his first appearance was on August 28, 2055 in the game Udinese 1 - 0 Empoli.

Here is the thing, current stats totally in favor of Palermo.  In the last 6 HOME games Palermo have 4 win, 1 draw, and 1 lost.  In the last 6 AWAY games Sampdoria have 2 win, 1 draw, and 3 lost.

Palermo captain Fabrizio Miccoli is the motivating force  and his teammates ready to celebrate the beginning of 2011  with a victory at the Renzo Barbera Stadium.

Just 2 points difference between Udinese and Chievo.  Udinese  will need to win this home game to climb the Serie A table and be among the top 6 teams.  A defeat will be a setback.  Chievo  also struggling to keep a consistent winning path.  So, here, is just anybody game...   a draw won't help...

Let's put it this way... both teams are even in goal difference.  Yep.  Udinese scoring 29 while conceding 29 having a goal difference of 0.  Chievo scoring 19 goals while conceding 19 goals having a goal difference of 0.   Hum? what? so, a draw might be possible in this game.  Yes, it might ...
