By Anna Italia
Here is the weekly Roundup for the Italian Serie A Week 30 and we care celebrating also the 150 years form the Unity of Italy.
First, let me start by congratulating INTER for being the only Serie A team surviving in the Champions League qualifying to the quarterfinals after defeating Bayern Munich. The race for the Scudetto from a two race now back to a THREE race among AC Milan, Inter and Napoli. Brescia stopping Inter to take the full 3 points and had a draw which means AC Milan with 62 points and Inter with 57 having now a 5 point difference. Most are seeing only AC Milan - Inter as the contenders, but get this one, what? Napoli have only 1 point difference with Inter!!!! Napoli "quietly" took advantage from the draw of AC Milan and Inter. With the upcoming MILAN DERBY next week, Napoli might take the second position in case of the Derby ending with a draw.
AC MILAN might lose the first position if losing with Palermo and Inter defeating Lecce as the FACE TO FACE Milan - Inter will be the next match.. and only 5 points difference
Apart from the top three places with a clear lead, it is also clear the almost "good bye" from AS Bari from the Serie A. Bari still in the 20th position with only 17 points while the 19th position Brescia have 26 points. .

Saturday March 19, 2011
LAZIO - CESENA (before the match)
Serie A Standing: Lazio 5th position, 51 points
Cesena 17th positions, 29 points
18:00 Italy time
Referee: Giannoccaro Assistants: Viazzi and Liberti Fourth Official: Pinzani
Lazio fighting to keep their spot in the UEFA Europa League next season being in the 5th position. Lazio losing the Derby della Capitale will look to restart from fresh by defeating Cesena. However, this is not an easy game as usually small teams give a hard time to the big ones and Cesena need a victory to avoid falling the relation zone. If Lecce defeat Inter and Brescia have a draw with Juventus, then, Cesena will go down. On paper, things look better for Lazio as Inter are playing against Lecce.
A defeat for Lazio and a victory from AS Roma over Fiorentina will bring Lazio to the 6th position. This scenario will be a double slap for Lazio as Roma their city rivals won the Derby and now might even take the 5th position.
Generalstats in favor Lazio. In the last 15 HOME games Lazio with 10 win, 3 draw, and 2 lost. In the last 14 AWAY games Cesena with only 2 win, 4 draw, and 8 lost. Can Cesena work a miracle at the Olimpico?
Top scorer for Lazio is Hernanes with 7 goals while top scorer for Cesena is forward Erjon Bogdani with 6 goals. As for effective assists, Lazio with 6 by Stefano Mauri and Cesena with 3 by Luca Ceccarelli.
Anna Italia Prediction: LAZIO

PALERMO - AC MILAN
Serie A Standing: Palermo 9th position, 40 points
AC Milan 1st positions, 62 points
20:45 Italy time
Referee: Tagliavento Assistnats: Cariolato and Grilli Fourth Official: De Marco
Palermo will look to win their FOURTH consecutive game against AC Milan at the Renzo Barbera Stadium. Yep, you are reading right. Palermo defeating "the most awarded Italian Club AC MILAN" 3 times in a row and you bet it will have a special meaning to get this victory and complete the "POKER" Bingo!
It's not an easy task as AC Milan in the last 16 offficial games have only lost 1 when losing in San Siro the match against Tottenham on February 15, 2011. In the next 15 games Milan having 9 win and 6 draw.
Here is the situation. AC Milan risking losing the leadership if losing this game. Hum? what? why? Well, Up to Week 29 Milan with 62 points and Inter with 57 points having only 5 points difference. If Milan lose also the Milan Derby against Derby, guess what. What!!!!!! Hold your horses because Inter will be leading!!!!!!
Simply put, AC Milan so far are winning the Scudetto, but they can lose it too.... making matters worst AC Milan not having an easy road at the Renzo Barbera Stadium plus the Three Games Suspension for AC Milan Forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Will Milan survive in Palermo? Allegri will rely on Robinho, Pato, and Cassano. Question is whether these three forwards can fit Ibrahimovic's influence i the team. Can they deliver the winning goal?
On Week 11 AC Milan defeating Palermo in San Siro on November 10, 2010. AC Milan 3 - 1 Palermo

AC Milan forward Robinho celebrating his goal against Palermo in San Siro dedicating to his child. Will he repeat at the Barbera?
AC Milan top scorer is forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic with 14 goals (though he is not playing)
Palermo top scorer is midfielder Javier Pastore with 10 goals.
Here is the thing. Palermo coach Serse Cosmi have 2 defeats since replacing coach Delio Rossi. Cosmi will point for a home victory.
There have been 29 games between Palermo vs AC Milan at the Barbera in favor of Palermo.
11 victories Palermo
8 draws
10 victories AC Milan
In the global stats, AC Milan taking the lead out of the 58 games, 33 victories for Milan, 11 draws, and 14 victories for Palermo.
Just a word of warning to referees, "WATCH OUT".. why? Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini is so upset with the wrongful decisions against Palermo and seeing now one of the "so called favorites in Italy" AC Milan... the least thing needed in this game is for the referee to affect the result. I am expecting a tough game and could be a draw... I say could be..... just could be.... is it?

Anna Italia Prediction: DRAW
Sunday March 20, 2011

Serie A Standing: Fiorentina 8th position, 42 points
AS Roma 6th positions, 49 points
12:30 Italy time
Referee: Mazzoleni Assistants: Tonolini and De Luca Fourth Official: Brighi
The Roman gladiators cannot afford to lose this game as their remaining objective for a spot in the UEFA Europa League next season might be out. Roma holding the 6th position and will loook to defeat Fiorentina and hope for Cesena to defeat or darw with Lecce to take the 5th position from their rivals.
Fiorentina coach Sinisa Mihajlovic also knowing of "slight chances" to make it for the Europa League. they will need to win today and at least 3 more games hoping for Roma to fall somewhere in the road.
Current stats in favor of Fiorentina. In the last 14 HOME games Fiorentina with 8 win, 3 draw, and 3 lost. In the last 15 AWAY games Roma with 5 win, 3 draw, and 7 lost.

Chievo 13th positions, 32 points
Referee: Gervasoni Assistants: Ghiandai and Giordano Fourth Official: Cervellera
Oh y gosh. The question here is who can help Bari and whether is already late for salvation? 8 more games and Bari sill in the rock bottom of the Serie A table with 17 points and the difference with the 19th position is from 9 points as Brescia have 26 points. If Bari lose today, they might as well start packing to the Serie B, as painful as it sounds.... there are not enough "and realistic" points to win for Bari not showing potential.

INTER - LECCE (before the match)
Serie A Standing: Inter 2nd position, 57 points
Lecce 18th positions, 28 points

Guys, all honors to Inter for being the only Italian team qualifying to the Quarterfinals of the Champions League. You bet that is an added motivation to face Lecce at the Meazza and celebrate with the fans. On paper this is a match to win for Inter. However, we can't rule out Lecce as they are desperately to save themselves and will look at least to draw the match just as Brescia did with Inter.
Inter will hope for Palermo to defeat AC Milan and next week is the Milan Derby where Inter can take away the first position from Milan in case of defeating them. wow, wow, wow, really? Yep, that's why this week it is crucial for the top 3 teams fighting for the Scudetto: Milan, Inter, and Napoli. Tehre are only 5 points difference with AC Milan and Inter.... so take your pencil and paper and start making your calculations.
Current stats in favor of Inter. Inthe last 14 HOME games Inter with 10 win, 3 draw, and losing just 1 game. In the last 14 AWAY games Lecce winning only 2, 3 draws, and losing 9.

JUVENTUS - BRESCIA (before the match)
Serie A Standing: Juventus 7th position, 42 points
Brescia 19th positions, 26 points
Referee: Celi Assistants: Carrer and Di Fiore Fourth Official: Nasca
Here is a match not to miss. What? why? Well, guys, let me tell you that despite all the "we support Del Neri" from the management, things might change in case of another lost and Juventus risk losing all hopes for a spot in the Europa League considering they already waved good bye to the Champions League next season as there are 11 points difference with Udinese holding the 4th position with 53 points.
Top scorer for Juventus is forward Fabio Quagliarella with 9 goals. Quagliarella out injured for the rest of the season. Top scorer for Brescia is forward Andrea Caracciolo with 8 goals. For effective assists, Juventus midfielder Milos Krasic with 5 while for Cesena Perparim Hetemaj with 2.
Current stats in favor of Juventus. In the last 14 HOME games Juventus with 6 win, 3 draw, and 5 lost. In the last 14 AWAY games Brescia with only 1 win, 4 draw, and the cowabunga number of 9 lost.
Oh gosh, this is also a MUST win for Brescia looking for salvation. A defeat will keep Brescia in the 19th position However, if Brescia get the victory and Inter defeat Lecce, Brescia will jump to the 18th position.
