 Novara - AS Roma
Silvio Piola Stadium at 20:45
Referee:  ROCCHI  Assistants:  MARZALONI – LA ROCCA  Fourth Official: BERGONZI

Roma up to Week 10 have not been able to find their road for rebuilding to the top, not even with new management.  Clearly, something is not clicking with coach Luis Enrique and players.  No consistency, group not able to execute Luis Enrique's plan in the pitch.   Bad news continuing with icon captain Francesco Totti still out, at least, after the international break. 

Novara are already in deep trouble.  Novara are in the relegation area in the 18th position with only 7 points and a negative goal difference of -5.  Here is the thing, a defeat can bring them down to the 19th position if Lecce defeat Cesena.  Roma are in the 13th position with 11 points and "0" goal difference, scoring 11 goals while conceding also 11 goals.  A defeat for Roma means they can go down to the 16th position if Bologna, Atalanta and Chievo Verona win their respective games.

 Cesena - Lecce
Dino Manuzzi Stadium
Referee: VALERI    Assistants: GIORDANO – GHIANDAI  Fourth Official:  GIANCOLA

A match for survival.  Cesena and Lecce in the relegation area.  Cesena with new coach Daniele Arrigoni having the tough mission to defeat Udinese at the Friuli Stadium.  Cesena sacking coach Marco Giampaolo after losing against Parma.  It's a dark period for Cesena as they are in the last position of the table with only 3 points and not winning a single game yet.  Making matter worst, Cesena having a negative goal difference of -9.   Lecce in the 19th position with 5 points and a negative goal difference of -9

Juventus the sole leader of the Serie A with 19 points and a positive goal difference of  +8.  Napoli are in the 5th position with 14 points and a positive goal difference of  +6.  Certainly, coach Antonio Conte is not willing to slow down the race.  Advantage is Juventus not playing neither the Champions League nor Europa League having more resting time.  Napoli are having a rough moment losing points every week in the Serie A, but also battling in the Champions League.  Napoli with a blow after losing the game against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.
