Preview Italy Serie A Week 20 - Italian Serie A Twentieth Round Sunday January 16, 2011. Post your PREDICTIONS now

By Anna Italia

Hello my friends.  Here is the  PREVIEW for the Italian Serie A Week 20 - - twentieth Round to be played on Saturday January 15 and Sunday January 16, 2011 .  

Here is the  current situation. The Serie A Disciplinary  Committee  penalized Bologna with two points for failing to play  their players' wages.  Bologna going down from the 10th position to the 15 position. 
 In this round AC Milan are  the sole leader with 40 points and either win, draw, or lose they will keep the leadership.  Napoli  second place with 36 points.  However, Lazio can take back the 2nd position if they defeat Sampdoria and if Fiorentina defeat Napoli -- not an easy task.  Juventus and Palermo can jump to the 4th position if AS Roma lose  against Cesena.  Inter  might jump to the 5th position if Juve and Palermo lose their respective games.  AS for the relegation area the three suffering are AS Bari Brescia and Lecce. Yet, Lee is the only one that might leave the  dark tunnel if they defeat AC Milan and if Roma defeat Cesena. Hum? Can this be possible?   



Fiorentina living a dark  moment 15  games without winning  and look to  win at the San Paolo. Bologna against the stats, last time defeating  Inter  9 years ago on February 10, 2002.  In the next 13 years Inter winning 11 and 2 draws. Roma not winning in Cesena already with 3 defeats and 8 draw and Ranieri not beating Cesena as coach before.  Looking to change history is Udinese with only  2 victories from Udinese in Genoa being the last time 28 years ago 5-3 when Zico made his debut scoring 2 goals.  A match  between worst defense and worst attack  this sesson Juve vs Bari, Juventus with 16 goals conceded at home while  Bari  scoring only 5 goals in away games.

Napoli - Fiorentina
San Paolo stadium
Italy Serie A Standing: Napoli - 2nd position, 36 points
                                         Fiorentina - 10th position, 23 points

Referee: Banti  Assistants: Iannello and Ayroldi  Fourth Official: Valeri
 
One thing is for sure.  Fiorentina forward Alberto Gilardino is not leaving the team as he confirmed that he is staying with Fiorentina.     Napoli will have the chance to keep the second position if defeating Fiorentina.  

On paper Napoli  is the winner... but nothing can be confirmed until  the  referee whistles the end o the match.  Gilardino knows that Napoli are a  strong team and has also expressed his admiration for Cavani as a footballer.  A bit of advantage for Fiorentina since midfielder Marek Hamsik  is suspended for this game.

Things not going  smooth for Fiorentina apart for the chaos created by forward Adrian Mutu... injuries are still a dark horse  for Mihajlovic. Stevan Jovetic, Sebastien Frey, Cesare Natali, Alessio Cerci, Juan Manuel Vargas and Vlada Avramov..... Maybe Vargas and Avramov might be ready .. but still not  for 90 minutes...
 
Good news with the recovery from midfielder Riccardo Montolivo from his ankle injury.  Yet, it's a long rocky road for Fiorentina if they want to be among the top 4.  Surely, a victory against Napoli might be the start.  It can give Fiorentina plenty of energy to face the upcoming match against Inter on February 16 which will be the real test for La Viola.
 

Top scorer for Napoli is forward Edison Cavani with 13 goals sharing the  spot of top scorer of the Serie A With  Udinese forward Antonio Di Natale.  Top scorer for Fiorentina  Gilardino with 6 goals.General stats in favor of Napoli.  There have been 71  games between Napoli - Fiorentina including 63 in Serie A and 8 in Coppa Italia:


32 victories Napoli
23 draw
24 victories Fiorentina
96 goals Napoli
73 goals Fiorentina

Last victory for Napoli on September 14 2008 Napoli 2 - 1 Fiorentina scoring for Napoli Hamsik and Maggio while for Fiorentina Adrian Mutu.

Last draw on December 21 2003 Napoli 2 - 2 Fiorentina.

Last victory for Fiorentina agaisnt Napoli at the San Paolo on March 3 2010 Napoli 1 - 3 Fiorentina. Scoring for Fiorentina Gilardino with 2 goals and Jovetic while for Napoli Ezequiel Lavezzi. 

Napoli forwards Ezequiel Lavezzi and Edison Cavani leading the attack agaisnt Fiorentina... will it be the winner duo? 



Here is the probable formation from Napoli (3-4-2-1):  Morgan De Sanctis, Hugo Campagnaro, Paolo Cannavaro, Salvatore Aronica, Christian Maggio, Walter Gargano, Michele Pazienza, Dossena, Sosa, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Edison Cavani.

Here is the probable formation for FIORENTINA (4-2-3-1):  Boruc, Gianluca Comotto, Alessandro Gamberini, Kroldrup, Pasqual, D'Agostino, Montolivo, Marchionni, Santana, Babacar, Gilardino

Anna  Italia Prediction:  NAPOLI

Inter- Bologna
Giuseppe Meazza stadium
Italy Serie A Standing: Napoli - 7th position, 29 points
                                      Bologna- 15th position, 22 points

Referee: Gava  Assistants: Marzaloni and Preti  Fourth Officials: Romeo
 

Bologna now really battling for salvation after being penalized the Serie A Disciplinary Committee for not having paid their players' wages with 2 points.  Bologna went down from the 10th to the 15 th position now remaining with only 22 points.

Is it  Goliath against  David? Inter are skyrocketing since the arrival of coach Leonardo replacing  Rafael Benitez.  It's a total turnover, a face lifting, a revamp from the team having found the "winning attitude and playing with the  heart."   Leonardo  have directed 3 games  and won all three including the Coppa Italia  on Wednesday qualifying  for the quarterfinal after defeating Genoa.

It's an uphill battle for Bologna... and on paper everything looks against Bologna ....   Wow, let me just tell you that Bologna have not defeated Inter at the Giuseppe Meazza  since 13 years!  hum?  what?  really?  Oh yeah... last time Bologna  defeated Inter  was back on February 8 1998 thanks to the goal by Paramatti.   Year after year Bologna going to the Meazza with the same  "failed mission" which is to  defeat Inter.  Can this change now?  Well, well, well... doesn't look possible .. but let's not underestimate Bologna despite the "Inter face lifting."
 

There have been 71 match  Inter - Bologna with overpowering dominion from Inter.
41 victories Inter
21 draw
9 victories Bologna

Current stats also in favor of Inter.  In the last 6 HOME games Inter with 4 win, 1 draw and 1 lost.  In the last 6 AWAY games Bologna  have 3 win, 1 draw, and 2 lost.

Here is the disciplinary situation.  No suspended players for Inter and Bologna.   Three players  from Inter with  a yellow card Dejan Stankkovic, Christian Chivu and Ivan Cordoba.  Hey, hey, hey, there are 7 Bologna players with one yellow card: Portanova, Gyorgy Garics, Perez, Marco Di Vaio, Della Rocca, Ramirez, and Britos.



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

Here is the probable formation for BOLOGNA (4-3-3): Emiliano Viviano, Garics, Portanova, Britos, Rubin, Cassarini, Mudingayi, Dell Rocca, Ekdal, Ramirez, Di Vaio.

Can Bologna goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano and forward Marco Di Vaio  cause an upset at the Meazza  and celebrate a victory?



Anna Italia Prediction:   Inter



Cagliari - Palermo
Sant' Elia stadium
 Italy Serie A Standing: Cagliari - 12th position, 23 points
                                       Palermo- 5th position, 31 points

Referee: Tagliavento  Assistants: Papi-Niccolai  Fourth Official: Velotto

One good news from Palermo, actually two!  First one,  finally  Palermo  obtained a penalty this season yesterday  in the Coppa Italia against  Chievo Verona.. though, still not  receiving  any penalties in favor in the Serie A.   Second good news is that Palermo qualified to the Coppa Italia quarterfinals after defeating   Chievo Verona 1 - 0 with penalty converted by Fabrizio Miccoli.


In the last 6 HOME games Cagliari with only 2 win and 4 lost.  In the last 6 AWAY games Palermo with 2 win, 2 draw, and 2 lost.



Rumors on Palermo goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu  possible transferring to AC Milan. 

Here is the thing guys.  Palermo might jump to the 4th position if  Cesena defeat Roma since  the giallorossi have 32 points.

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

Here is the probable formation for PALERMO (4-3-2-1): Salvatore Sirigu, Mattia Cassani, Munoz, Andelkovic, Federico Balzaretti, Migliaccio, Bacinovic, Antonio Nocerino, Josip Ilicic, Pastore and Fabrizio Miccoli.

Anna Italia Prediction:  CAGLIARI

Referee: Brighi  Assistants: Carrer and Alessandroni  Fourth Official:  Giancola

Juventus with the mission  to  shape up and forget  the smacking defeat last week at the San Paolo Stadium Napoli 3  - 0 Juventus

Match also difficult for Bari being in the last position and not having a good record  scoring so far only 5 goals in away games having a negative goal difference of -19 goals after conceding a total of 32 goals! and scoring only 12 goals!! Ouch.  Juventus  have scored 33 goals while conceding 24 goals having a positive goal difference of +9.

It is the much awaited moment to see back in action first goalkeeper Gigi Buffon returning from a back  injury after 7 months.     Buffon  showing his ready and the will to help his team.  Good news with Buffon playing the 90 minutes against Catania without conceding a goal and qualifying to the Coppa Italia quarterfinals. 

Result JUVENTUS 2 - 0 CATANIA Goals by Simone Pepe and Milos Krasic Thursday January 13 2011 Coppa Italia Round of 16


However,  Juventus still in crisis with the long list of injured  players adding the latest  forward Fabio Quagliarella who underwent surgey and is ruled out for the rest of the season.  Plus, Amauri also injured.  Making matters worst new transfer Luca Toni injured during the game against Catania and is out.    Looks like Juve is under a curse....

Here is the disciplinary situation.  Juventus with one suspended player midfielder Felipe Melo.  No suspended player for Bari but 2 players carrying one yellow card: Donati and Gazzi.

                                         Sampdoria- 9th position, 26 points

Referee: Rizzoli  Assistants: Passieri and Tonolini  Fourth Official:  Russo
 
There is no other option for Lazio than winning this game to keep the race  for the Scudetto against AC Milan tight.   Simply put, right now there are  only 6 points difference.  However  if Lazio lose and Milan defeat Lecce than we are talking  about 9 points difference with will be  tough to  get back to the top 2 teams ans there is also in the third place Roma with 32 points.  Roma defeating Cesena  might put them in the 3rd position if Lazio lose.

Referee: Celi  Assistants: Copelli and Di Fiore  Fourth Official: Palazzino
 
Chievo  eliminated from the Coppa Italia   on Wednesday by Palermo  will want to win this  away game to avoid  getting closer to the relegation area.  Catania with a defeat might be falling in the red zone.  A victory for both is needed, a draw  not good. .
