Friday night.
Juventus fans, following the amazing comeback in Napoli on Tuesday, are probably feeling confident
coming into this weekend's fixture. However no one should get carried away, even when playing a
team currently sitting in the relegation zone. Anything is possible in football and, especially
in Italy, even a league leader can be upset.

a last-minute fitness test to start, and the Olimpico audience welcomed back ex-Roma star Mirko
Vucinic just like old derby days.
Novara started off behind the eight-ball, as Matteo Centurioni at full stretch attempting to

Atalanta's Argentine import German Denis came back to haunt his former club, but Atalanta didn't
count on Edinson Cavani's heart-stopping Napoli equaliser in the final moments of injury time in
this one. Cavani was crucial in Napoli's mid-week Champions League triumph over Manchester City
scoring a brace.
Only eight games were played in Serie A this weekend due to the bad rain in Naples and in Genoa in
which two games were called off due to the severity of the rain. Sadly people lost their lives in
Italy due to the bad weather. So two big games in Genoa-Inter and Napoli-Juventus were called off
and will be played at a later day.
Oh Udinese, what happened to you in Thursday's Europa League match against Atlético? The
zebrette won the first leg, 2-0, but on their visit to Madrid were hammered 4-0. But there's not
really that much you can take away from an Udinese loss in Europe's lesser tournament. Francesco
Guidolin certainly didn't field a full-strength squad, at least not from the start, leaving out
Mauricio Isla,.

another victory in.
Serie A Weekly welcomes writer Kirsten Schlewitz to our Italian football frontpage For some reason,
when gearing up for Napoli's match last week, I was convinced that they were playing Cagliari.

San Paolo, mind you.

their first home win of the season while Napoli won the Saturday night showdown against opponents
Inter. On Sunday Juventus showed they are real contenders, winning under the roof of there new
stadium against champions AC Milan, leaving all Juventi to cheer scudetto here we come.
Juventus have to demonstrate to the footballing world they mean business this season which means
nothing less then all three points today. The team is well rested and well prepared, with no
mid-week game. Prediction: advantage Juventus, but they were too poor against Catania and allowed
Bologna to step into their house and take a point in the last home outing.
We have a mouth watering prospect of a game on Saturday night as Inter Milan take on Napoli at the
San Siro. Both teams are coming off an almighty high in the Champions league as Inter Milan won

Villarreal. This is going to be Claudio Ranieri first home game as tenure as Inter Milan and he is
hoping for a.

manager Claudio Ranieri still looking to claim first victory.
Napoli, Juventus, Udinese and Cagliari look to continue their winning ways midweek. While manager

Lotito which means, start to the famed Italian managerial sack race is avoided if only temporarily.
Champions Milan will be looking to avoid a back to back loss results when they welcome visitors
Udinese.

Roma-Napoli was not a thrilling game of attacking football. Instead it was a brutal encounter
between two very physical sides, with entertainment tossed out the proverbial window in favor of
sheer savagery at times. There was a spitting contest, slaps, and even controversy over yellow card
counts not seen this side of 2006.
Napoli striker Edinson Cavani will celebrate his 24th birthday on Monday safe in the knowledge that
his two strikes at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday night against Roma has converted even the most
fervent of non believers that his team are there for the long haul in this most compelling of
championship races.

Milan-Parma Make no mistake about it, if Milan are to win the scudetto this season, it is games
such as these that will be decisive. The table-topping side has dropped points the last two games
and allowed Inter right back into the race, with Napoli hovering a mere three points below as well.
Parma however secured a draw at home to Fiorentina last matchday thank to new arrival Amauri.
With a run of 4 draws and only 3 wins so far, it's fair to say that 2011 has not started quite how
Milanisti envisaged it to. Qasa Alom ponders whether a change of formation could bring about a
resurgence of form. Taking a look at the form tables from around the continent at the moment, there
are three teams in particular who stand out; Napoli maintain their good form to remain in second
place,.
Number 10 for the match day starts with that cheeky little pass from Zlatan Ibranimovic to Pato of
Milan which nutmegs the Genoa defender in the process. This of course was the only goal for Milan
on the day and the match result ended as a 1-1 draw against their hosts. Milan would drop 2 points
to trailing clubs Napoli, Udinese and Inter.
Southern Italian Round-Up On Saturday evening at the Stadio Sant'Elia, former Cagliari striker
Alessandro Matri never expected a warm welcome just six days after leaving the club for his "dream
move" to Turin. As he embarked on the flight home after the game, he had stuck a dagger right into
the heart of the tifosi that once idolised him as his two goals helped La Vecchia.

Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini is a superstitious old soul. Before Wednesday night's game at
the Stadio Renzo Barbera against Juventus, he did what he always does when his nerves get the
better of him jumped straight in his car and drove around the city unable to face watching his team
in action.
