This Weekend

(7th) WWLWD Vs (6th) DWWWD

Juventus v Milan

The match of the week is here!

Milan looks to be crawling back into the top four after a back to back wins. A draw against Atalanta is a setback for a team like Milan; at the moment they look to mount pressure and huge momentum on the prospective title contenders. Winning the League title is probably the last thing on their mind right now. But they will look to impress and get back to European football. Considering the fact that they have lost to Roma and Inter Milan this season, they will be coming all out to put up an upset.

Juventus didn’t really start well, but their performance in recent weeks shows they are here to stay and prove doubters wrong as they look on to set the record for a fifth straight Serie A title.

The match would definitely be a close one, a much tactical match from both sides. No one wants to lose points at this crucial stage of the tournament. 

I really don’t see Juventus losing; it will be a close one. I see the champions edging out with a narrow win.

Verdict: Juventus 1: 0 Milan

Bologna v Roma

Bologna is the ‘dead bone’ that has risen. The appointment of their new coach has reignited the dead fire in the team. The demolition is Atalanta still remain a wonder in my heart. They have done more than enough for themselves lately, with their back to back wins; they have crawled their way above the relegation zone.

Will they continue their exploit against Roma? I sincerely doubt that. Roma is a really hard nut to crack and they have to do the impossible to beat a team like Roma.

With a lot of respect to Bologna, Roma is not just their match but a different class far superior.

I see Bologna trying to create an upset, but I don’t see much they can do to avoid been beaten by Roma.

My Verdict:  Bologna 1: 3 Roma

(2nd) WWWDD Vs (18th) DLDWLW

Inter Milan v Frosinone

Inter Milan is unbeaten in their last five matches, winning three consecutively. They are joint table leader with Fiorentina on 27points, with goals difference separating the two teams. They face an uphill task if they are to become champions again. They will look to beat Frosinone to pile pressure on Fiorentina and prospective title contenders.  This match will be an easy one for Inter Milan, even though they have lost valuable points to lower positioned teams in recent weeks, they can’t afford to slip again.

Frosinone have only won 2 games in five weeks, and they are currently fighting a relegation battle, even though it is too early to give a verdict on their possible spot at the end of the season.  I see a very easy, but tactical match here.

Inter Milan will win this, even if it is a lone goal margin.

My Verdict: Inter Milan 2: 0 Frosinone

(1th) WWWLL Vs (13th) LWDWL

Fiorentina v Empoli  

Fiorentina and Inter Milan at the top of the table with goals difference separating the two. Right its Fiorentina, Inter Milan, Roma and maybe Napoli for number one spot this week.

Fiorentina will be looking to building a huge momentum to right now, with the goals and form improving. Nothing is stopping them to go all the way.

Empoli will try to redeem themselves, but I don’t see that happening against Fiorentina.

Fiorentina gat this!!!

My Verdict: Fiorentina 2: 0 Empoli
