Here is the Italy Serie A Roundup Week 20  Preview valid for Matchday 20 on Saturday January 28 and Sunday January 29,  2012.  Status quo in the leadership with  a two lead indication for the Scudetto:  Juventus and AC Milan.  Juventus v Udinese had only 3 points difference and Udinese losing the chance to defeat the "sole leader."  It means Juventus keep the first position now with 44 points followed by AC Milan with 43 points after defeating Cagliari.  Third position is for Udinese having 38 points.  The gap are 5 points betwen second place and third.   Milan not only winning, but also forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic becoming the "sole leader" as top scorer of the season with 15 goals leaving behind Udinese forward Antonio Di Natale with 14 goals.




Juventus, indirectly, doing a favor to Inter by defeating Udinese.  A git not appreciated by Inter after  losing  against Lecce at the Via del Mare Stadium with the goal by Guillermo Giacomazzi.  Inter falling down to the 5th position while Lazio taking back the fourth position.
