AC Milan are dreaming and we can say as Ricky Martin "Living La Vida Loca" Yep. AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri taking all the team in these 2 away games in case of winning the Scudetto in Rome by obtaining a draw or winning. Yep. Milan need only one more point to be the winner of the 2010 - 2011 Scudetto.
On Saturday facing Roma and then on Tuesday playing against Palermo or the Coppa Italia Semifinal. Allegri and all AC Milan management and players want to win also the Coppa Italia, so you bet, it wll be an intense match .... starting the trip now... first the challenge is to draw or defeat the Roman gladiators.
An added push for the rossoneri is the return from suspension from forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic. You bet Allegri will give him his playing time. Let's face it. Great merit of Milan keeping the lead most season has been for Ibrahimovic's goals and effective assists. Let's just hope he won't commit any serious fouls again and avoid being sent off.
Here is the disciplinary situation. AS Roma will have a weaker team as there are 2 main suspended players with midfielders Daniele De Rossi and Simone Perrotta both suspended for 3 match games.... meaning their season is over. There are three players with one yellow card away from suspension Daniele De Rossi, Jeremy Menez, and David Pizarro. An advantage is for AC Milan without suspended players and only 6 players with one yellow card: Beretta, Andrea Pirlo, Alessandro Nesta, Kevin Prince Boateng, Daniele Bonera and Gennaro Gattuso
Taking De Tossi and Perrotta place will be Brighi and Fabio Simplicio.
General stats infoavro of AC MIilan. There have been 148 games with AS Roma - AC Milan:

The last two encounters at the Olympic Stadium ending with a draw.
For effective assists AC Milan with the lead having forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic making 12 assists compared to the 5 from AS Roma forward Francesco Totti and defender John Arne Riise also with 5.
It's also a face to face between forwards Francesco Totti and Ibrahimovic to unlock their goal scoring record in this game as both have 14 goals each.

Anna Italia Prediction: BOLOGNA

It's the Derby of the Lanterna and we might say one of the weakest derby from their history with Sampdoria risking going down to relegation in Serie B if losing this game. Sampdoria a shadow from last season Sampdoria failing to fill the spaces from the two talisman "Cassano and Pazzini" both left the team to join AC Milan and Inter respectively Clearly, forward Massimo Maccarone not the solution for a dying Sampdoria.
As for effective assists Genoa forward Rodrigo Palacio with 6 while Sampdoria Marilungo with 3.

Anna Italia Prediction: GENOA


Juventus with a "win or win" challenge. This is it for Juventus still looking for the Impossible Dream and grab at least a spot for the Europa League as they are 4 points difference with Lazio having 60 points and holding the 4th position. Juventusn will hope for Udinese and AS Roma to lose their respective games to overtake the 5th position. Juventus will hope for Udinese-Lazio to end with a draw to increase their chance for qualification as there are only 2 more games after this one.
Leading the Old Lady is the legendary Captain Alessandro Del Piero with a happy smile since he renewed his contract for another season with Juventus. On paper this should be a win for Juventus, but we can't take anything for granted at this point.
Current stats in favor of Juventus. In the last 17 HOME games Juventus with 8 win, 4 draw, and 5 lost. In the last 17 AWAY games Chievo with only 4 win, 4 draw, and 9 lost
As for effective assists Juventus midfielder Milos Krasic with 6 and Chievo forward Sergio Pellissier with 3.

Anna Italia Prediction: JUVENTUS

A total blow for Inter having three key injured players for this game: midfielder Wesley Sneijder, midfielder Dejan Stankovic and forward Goran Pandev. Here is the thing, despite if Inter defeat Fiorentina, their city rivals AC Milan might celebrate winning the Scudetto if they just draw or win against AS Roma. It will be the scenario to wave good bye to their Scudetto as defending champions. Milan just need 1 point to win the Scudetto.
What a difference with top scoring players. Samuel Eto'o with 20 goals while Fiorentina forward Alberto Gilardino with only 11. As for effective assists Inter forward Samuel Eto'o with 7 and Fiorentina forward Alessio Cerci with 4.

Lecce will have to get tall their energies and have all their fans on their knees to pray for the miracle. yep.. Lecce in the 18th position and they need to win this game for a ray of hope towards salvation. If losing, hello, they can already book their ticket to the relegation....
