Here is Preview for the  Italian Serie A Week 33 on Saturday April 16 and Sunday April 17. It's a decisive week  for AC Milan to keep flying all alone for the Scudetto while Napoli battling to keep the 3 points difference.  A dark day with INTER who are the third contender for the tile as their morale crumbling after the elimination from the UEFA Champions League.  It's now or never for all three AC Milan, Napoli, and Inter to show their character and not crumbling.    The one risking the most is AC Milan... hello, one blink.. and might be "good bye Scudetto."

Here is the thing, Inter seems crumbling since losing the Milan Derby and running out of gas at the wrong time. Will Leonardo make turnover? You bet he must.  Inter are going to the Ennio Tardini Stadium to play against Parma who are in need of the 3 golden points.  Test for Inter and their players to stand and deliver, archiving their dark period or risking losing everything.  

AC Milan with 68 points, Napoli with 65, and  Inter 63 points.  Milan with a major blow as  forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic suspended for 3 games after getting  a red card in the 87th minute  in the match against Fiorentina when he was just returning from suspension.  

For the fourth position in the Champions League zone, the battle is among Udinese, Lazio, and AS Roma.   Udinese  wasting 3 golden points and now risking losing the precious 4th position next week after losing with Roma.   Roma now with 53 points 3 points behind Udinese.  In the relegation area, Parma, Sampdoria and Lecce risk going down.   The real battle for SURVIVAL to avoid relegation are among Lecce, Parma, Sampdoria, Cesena, Brescia, and the one "almost for sure" going to the Serie B is AS Bari with only 21 points compared to the 19th position Brescia having 30 points.

Serie A leader on Week 32 is AC Milan with 68 points followed by Napoli with 65 points too and Inter with 63 points.  Last position is for  AS Bari with 20 points. Top scorers are Udinese forward Antonio Di Natale  with 26 goals and Napoli forward Edinson Cavani with 25 goals.

AS Roma - Palermo  (before the match)
Italian Serie A standing: AS Roma 6th position, 53 points
                                           Palermo 8th position, 44 points

Referee:  Andrea Romeo   Assistants:  Sandro Rossomando and Andrea Padovan   Fourth Official:  Piero Giacomelli

What a challenge for Roma and Palermo!!! Just a thriller.. hum? what? why?  Well, AS Roma  looking to grab a spot for the Champions League next season are only 4 points behind Lazio holding the 4th position with 57 points.  Palermo, mathematically speaking, can still make it to the Europa League.  However, if losing against Roma their chances will be gone if Cagliari and Fiorentina win their respective game.  A defeat can bring Palermo down to the 10th position.

On Week 14 Palermo rocked big time at the Barbera defeating AS Roma on Sunday November 20,  Palermo 3 - 1 AS Roma.  Scoring for Palermo  Fabrizio Miccoli, Josip Ilicic and Antonio Nocerino while for Roma was Francesco Totti.

Current stats in favor of the Roman gladiators.  In the last 15 HOME games Roma with 9 win, 4 draw, and losing only 2.  In the last 16 AWAY games Palermo with only 4 win, 2 draw, and losing 10.  Wow!!

Last week the debut from "returning coach" Delio Rossi with a dramatic draw in the last agonizing 6 minutes at the Renzo Barbera.  Things will go in favor of the Roman gladiators now at the Olimpico and the added boost of a "top shape and scoring  eagle" Francesco Totti.

Palermo testing the waters played a friendly game on Thursday against Monreale ending Palermo 7 - 1 Monreale. Scoring for Palermo Di Pastore, Migliaccio, Liverani, Paolucci, Garcia and Bovo.  Good news is that forward Mauricio Pinilla seems recovering as working with the group.  Midfielder Josip Ilicic  following individual training and therapy.

Top scorer for AS Roma is forward  Francesco Totti with 11 goals
Top scorer for Palermo is midfielder Javier Pastore  with 10 goals

AS Roma Player Goals Goals Palermo Player
Francesco Totti 11 10 Javier Pastore
Marco Borriello 10 8 Josip Ilicic
Mirko Vucinic 8 7 Fabrizio Miccoli
Fabio Simplicio 4 6 Mauricio Pinilla
Simone Perrotta 2 3 Antonio Nocerino
 
Here is the disciplinary situation.  AS Roma with on suspended player defender Juan and three players with one yellow card: Daniele De Rossi, Jeremy Menez, and David Pizarro.
Palermo without suspended players only three players with one yellow card: Dorin  Goian, Salvatore Sirigu, and Abel Hernandez.

Here is the probable formation for AS ROMA (4-2-3-1):    Doni, Cassetti, Nicolas Burdisso, Loria, John Arne Riise,  David Pizarro, Daniele De Rossi, Rodrigo Taddei, Simone Perrotta, Mirko Vucinic, and Francesco Totti.

Here is the probable formation for PALERMO (4-3-1-2):  Salvatore Sirigu, Cassani, Ezequiel Munoz,, Dorin Goian, Federico Balzaretti, Migliaccio, Armin Bacinovic, Antonio Nocerino, Javier Pastore, Fabrizio Miccoli, and Abel Hernandez.

Anna Italia Prediction:  AS ROMA

AC Milan  - Sampdoria  (before the match)
Italian Serie A standing: AC Milan 1st position, 68 points
                                           Sampdoria 12th position, 32 points

Talking about Milan flying all alone as leader and we see the cowabunga difference of 36 points between Milan and Sampdoria.  Yep, Sampdoria  not a threat this season after the two stars "Antonio Cassano and Giampaolo Pazzini" left the team.    By the way, the big "ex Cassano"  became a father today Thursday!  Yep, so, he might not play in this game... or will start from the bench, as for merit the one rocking big time is Pato.

Here is the thing, Sampdoria with a defeat risk going down the relegation area if Cesena defeat Bari and Brescia defeat Genoa.  Yep, n this scenario  Sampdoria will go down to the 19th position.OUCH!!!! Yep, tough, but it is the plain truth.   Anyway, Sampdoria still remembering the elimination from the Coppa Italia with AC Milan defeating them with 2 goals from Alexandre Pato and at the Luigi Ferraris!  Sampdoria  1 - 2 AC Milan

AC Milan, on the other hand, cannot let go at this point.  Why? Well, hello, hello, hello.... knock knock anybody home???? Milan are only 3 points ahead of Napoli!  If Milan lose in San Siro and Napoli defeat Udinese at the San Paolo, then, hello, hello... waking time and the adrenaline to the top!  In this scenario Milan and Napoli will have same 68 points. ok, Milan still will keep the first place for goal difference.   Up to Week 32  Milan with a positive +32 goal difference while Napoli with a positive +22.   Overall Milan scoring 56 goals while conceding 23.  Napoli scoring 52 whil conceding 30 goals.

Current stats in favor of AC Milan.  In the last 16 HOME games Milan with 10 win, 4 draw, and losing only 2.  In the last 15 AWAY games Sampdoria  with only 2 win, 6 draw, and losing 7.
 
Top scorer for AC Milan is forward Alexandre Pato with 14 goals while top scorer for Sampdoria are Stefano Guberti and Massimo Maccarone with 5 goals.

Player Goals Goals Player
Pato 14 5 Stefano Guberti
Zlatan Ibrahimovic 14 5 Massimo Maccarone
Robinho 10 3 Nicola Pozzi
Kevin Prince Boateng 3 1 Gastaldello 
Antonio Cassano 3
 

Ok, here is the good news for Milan fans.  What???? Well, hold your horses because it seems we might see forward Filippo Inzaghi playing "soon"... Hello, there are only 5 more games after this one and Inzaghi has been training to be ready before the end of the season.  On Thursday, Inzaghi worked  the entire training session in the gym.  So,  prepare to see Super Pippooooooooooo

Here is the disciplinary situation.  One suspended player for AC Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic and four players carrying one yellow card:  Andrea Pirlo, Daniele Bonera, Gennaro Gattuso, Alessandro Nesta, and Mark Van Bommel.   One suspended player for Sampdoria: Mannini and three players with one yellow card: Reto Ziegler, Poli, and Dessena. 


As for the line up, Milan without  Alessandro Nesta for injury and also without forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic who is suspended for 3 games!!!! Yep.... Sporting Judge Tosel sentenced Ibrahimovic with 3 games after being sent off during the match against Fiorentina. 

Here is the probable formation for AC MILAN (4-3-1-2):  Christian Abbiati, Ignazio Abate, Mario Yepes, Thiago Silva, Gianluca Zambrotta, Methieu Flamini, Mark Van Bomel, Clarence Seedorf, Kevin Prince Boateng, Robinho, and Alexandre Pato.

Here is the probable formation for SAMPDORIA (3-5-2)"  Curci, Massimo Volta, Gastaldello, Martinez, Stefano Guberti, Tissone, Angelo Palombo, Poli, Reto Ziegler, Nicola Pozzi, and Massimo Maccarone.
