  Here  is the Italian Serie A Week 26 - Twenty-sixth Round on Saturday February 19 and Sunday February 20,  2011.  It's a week where the top three position might change. AC Milan still sole leader with 52 points and closely follow by Napoli with 49 points, just 3 points difference.  However, even if AC Milan lose against Chievo and Napoli  defeat Catania, the leader will be Milan as there is a big gap of goal difference, Milan having +25 and Napoli +18. Napoli can lose the 2nd position if losing against Catania and if Inter defeat Cagliari as they will reach 50 points.  Moreover, Inter might lose the 3rd position if they lose  against Cagliari and if Lazio defeat AS Bari.  Best scenario for Inter  will be to  defeat Cagliari and hope for Chievo to defeat  Milan which will shorten the distance to 2 points.  Get the picture?

Bologna - Palermo
Dall'Ara stadium
Italy Serie A Standing: Bologna- 14th position, 29 points
                                         Palermo- 7th position, 40 points

Referee: De Marco  Assistants: Viazzi and Liberti  Fourth Official:  Corletto
 
Palermo  traveling to Bologna  with the mission to win after their unexpected smacking home defeat the Barbera last week Palermo 2 - 4 Fiorentina. Critics going on with Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini to coach Delio Rossi and the way Palermo is playing.  Will this be the final straw for changing coach if Palermo lose? 

Bologna also losing last week Sampdoria 3 - 1 Bologna.  Now it's the turn to win or risk going down to the 15th position if Parma and Catania win their respective games.

US Palermo TicketsThere have been 24 games between Bologna-Palermo at the Renato Dall'Ara Stadium.  Stats in favor of Bologna.
14 victories Bologna
 8 draw
 2 victories Palermo

In general stats including games at the Barnera the  stats switch to Palermo. Total games 50:
18  victories Palermo
16 victories Bologna
16 draws

It will be time for Bologna to avenge a humiliating defeat on the first round  when Palermo  defeated them at the Renzo Barbera Stadium on October 17, 2010 for the Serie A Week 7 match  Palermo 4 -  1 Bologna.  Will Bologna captain Marco Di Vaio  command the troop for victory? 

A personal challenge for Palermo forward Abel Hernandez to put away the traumatic experience of being robbed at gunpoint on Wednesday.  Hernandez  wants to  transform his anger by scoring.  So, we might see  Hernandez in the lineup. 

Stats this season in  favor for Bologna.  In the 11 home games having 6 win, 4 draw, and 1 lost.  Palermo in the  12 away games having 4 win, 2 draw, and 6 lost.


Here is the disciplinary situation: No suspended players for Bologna while 3 players with one yellow card: Gyorgy Garics, Marco Di Vaio, and Ramirez. Two suspended players for Palermo: Carrozzierri and Federico Balzaretti while 3 players carrying one yellow card: Javier Pastore, Dorin Goian, and Salvatore Sirigu.


Top scorer for Bologna is forward Marco Di Vaio with 14 goals.  Top scorer for Palermo is midfielder Javier Pastore with 10 goals.  As for effective assist, Di Vaio making 3 while Palermo  having 5 with defender Federico Balzaretti.

Here is the probable formation for BOLOGNA (4-3-3): Emiliano Viviano, Moras, Portanova, Britos, Rubin, Perez, Mudingayi, Mutarelli, Ramirez, Meggiorini, Di Vaio.


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

 
Anna Italia Prediction:  BOLOGNA


Inter - Cagliari
Giuseppe Meazza stadium
Italy Serie A Standing: Inter - 3rd  position, 47 points
                                         Cagliari- 9th position, 35 points

Referee: Domenico Celi   Assistants: Carrer and Pugiotto  Fourth Official:  Brighi

Inter slowly but surely have been climbing the Serie A Table and now are in 3rd position after  defeating Fiorentina in the recovered Serie A Week 17 match on Wednesday:  Fiorentia 1 - 2 Inter. Inter jumped from the 4th position to the third sending Lazio to the 4th position.  

Here is the thing.  Inter  can take away the second position  from Napoli if Catania defeat them at the San Paolo and if Inter defeat Cagliari.   If this happens, Inter will reach to 50 points.  Right now  Inter  are 5 points away AC Milan the leader.  Best scenario for Inter  will be to  defeat Cagliari and hope for Chievo to defeat  Milan which will shorten the distance to 2 points.  An unlikely  scenario today will be an upset if Cagliari defeat Inter because if Lazio defeat Bari they will get back the 3rd position. Get the picture?

On Week 7 Inter defeated Cagliari  thanks to the goal by forward Samuel Eto'o in the 39th minute. Cagliari 0 - 1 Inter.

Inter will be without midfielder Wesley Sneijder because he has muscular injury and will need about 4 day recovery.  Leo will hope to recover him for the UEFA Champions League  game against Bayern Munich. Lucio also out of this game.

Top scorer for Inter is forward Samuel Eto'o with 15 goals.  Top scorer for Cagliari is forward Nene with 6 goals.  As for effective assists, Eto'o having 5 while Cagliari Andrea Cossu having 11. 

Stats in favor of Inter.  In the last 12 home games having 8 win, 3 draw, and losing only 1.  In the last 12 away games  Cagliari with only 3 win, 4 draw, and 5 lost. 

Here is the disciplinary situation.  One suspended player for INTER:  Christian Chivu and four players carrying one yellow card: Maicon, Giampaolo Pazzini, Yoto Nagatomo and Samuel Eto'o. No suspended player for CAGLIARI only 2 players with one yellow card: Canini and Ariaudo.

Here is the probable formation from INTER (4-2-3-1):  Julio Cesar, Maicon, Ranocchia, Cordoba, Javier Zanetti, Kharja, Motta, Cambiasso, Coutinho, Eto'o, Pazzini.


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

Italy Serie A Standing: Lecce - 17th position, 24 points
                                         Juventus - 6th position, 41 points


Referee: Mazzoleni   Assistants: Manganelli and Cariolato   Fourth Official:  Russo

Wake up call for Lecce and Juventus for different reasons.  Lecce must win to avoid falling in the relegation area.  Juventus must win to save a season by ending at least among the top 6 teams considering the race for the Scudetto might be over for Juve having  11 points difference with AC Milan.

Stats this season in favor of Juventus.  In the last 12 home games Lecce winning only 2 games, 2 draw and losing 9.  Juventus in the last 13 away games winning 5, 5 draw, and 3 lost.  On Week 7, Juventus defeated  Lecce at the Olimpico di Torino Juventus 4 - 0 Lecce  one of the goals from midfielder Alberto Aquilani scoring his fist goal with Juventus.

Top scorer for Lecce is Davide Di Michele with 6 goals while top scorer for Juventus is forward Alessandro Matri with 14 goals.

Making matters worst for Lecce is the disciplinary situation. Three suspended players for Lecce: Olivera, Jeda, and Giacomazzi plus having 5 players with one yellow card: Rispoli, Ferrario, Di Michele, Grossmuller, and Giacomazzi.    There is only 1 suspended player for Juventus: Mohammed Sissoko and 4 players with one yellow card: Simone Pepe, Milos Krasic, Fabio Grosso and Alessandro Matri.

Napoli with a mixed feeling after the goalless draw in the UEFA Europa League at the San Paolo Stadium Napoli 0 - 0 Villareal .

  Although Napoli  have the top scorer of the Serie A forward Edinson Cavani with 20 goals, he could not find  his way to the goal against Tottenham.  Top scorer for Catania is forward Maxi Lopez with 6 goals.  As for effective assists, Napoli forward Ezequiel Lavezzi with 8 and Catania Cristian Llamas with 4.

Here is the disciplinary situation. Two suspended players for Napoli: Hugo Campagnaro and Ezequiel Lavezzi while 3 players carrying one yellow card: Edinson Cavani, Cristian Maggio and Dossena.   No suspended players for  Catnaia just 3 plyers carrying one yellow card: Spolli, Silvestre, and Alvarez. 

The appeal for Napoli for the 3 suspension of Ezequiel Lavezzi failed.

12 victories  Napoli
  2 victories Catania
28 goals  Napoli

Current stats in favor of Napoli.  This season, in the  last 12 home games 8 win, 2 draw and 2  lost.   In the last 12 away games Catania  not winning  a single match while having 4 draw and 8 lost.

Here is the probable formation from Napoli (3-4-2-1):  Morgan De Sanctis, Santacroce, Paolo Cannavaro, Salvatore Aronica, Christian Maggio, Pazienza, Walter Gargano, Dossena, Hamsik, Mascara, and Edison Cavani.

Here is the probable formation from CATANIA (4-1-4-1): Mariano Andujar, Schelotto, Silvestre, Spolli, Alvarez, Sciacca, Ledesma, Llama, Gomez, Ricchiuti, and Maxi Lopez.
