Siena last 3 away matches: 

Table positions: Juventus -5, Siena -20

Juventus home table position: 13

Siena away table position: 16

With only the 5th spot in the Serie A table and a long way to the top 3 teams, Juventus should have no problems in claiming all 3 points from this match against last Siena on Sunday.

Juventus has seen an increase in their form in the past couple of weeks and with a total of 44 points they are joust 2 points under Palermo and a place in next season’s Champions League. Nonetheless their position is not secured as Sampdoria and Napoli are waiting for any mistakes.

The team’s home statistic is very weak as they managed only 6 victories and 3 draws in 13 matches played with a very modest goal ratio of 21 scored and no less than 19 conceded, unacceptable figure for a team with their pretensions and strength.

Little hope for Siena in their battle to avoid relegation, only 21 points managed by them in all 27 matches played and currently 5 points from salvation. Few hopes but a boost for them as they managed to 8 points in the last 4 matches played, very valuable especially as their opposition’s trend is downward.

Their statistic in away matches is terrible with only 3 victories, but from witch 2 in the last 2 matches played whilst traveling and 10 losses with a goal ratio to match this 16 scored and 28 conceded, curiously the large number of goals scored by them showing that they play an open strategy.

My pick:  Juventus to win

Genoa last 3 away matches: 

Table positions: Inter -4, Genoa -9

Inter home table position: 10

Genoa away table position: 9

With rivals AC Milan becoming a real threat in the fight for the top spot, Internazionale Milan seem to have found their motivation and started winning matches in the last week with the hope of continuing this good streak against Genoa this Sunday.

Inter gained a great deal in terms of morale as they defeated Chelsea in the Champions League and managed to successfully complete their difficult trip to Udinese and claim the vital 3 points in a 3-2 victory.

They still maintain a 4 point advantage at the top of the Serie A table over second Milan and no less than 7 over AS Roma. The champions look very strong when looking at the home pitch statistic in the competition with 10 victories and 3 draws in all 13 played and a very good goal ratio for the Italian championship of 27 scored and 11 conceded.

Genoa is mid table for now in th standings with some hope of claiming a Europa League spot at the end of the season but with though opposition in achieving this from Napoli, Sampdoria and Cagliari.

They seem to be alternating good performances coped with 3 point results with poor displays especially when traveling. In away matches their statistic is awful managing to win only 2 and end 2 in draws in all 12 played and a negative goal ratio of 12 scored and no less than 23 conceded.

My pick:  Inter to win

Juventus last 3 away matches:

Table positions: Fiorentina -10, Juventus -5

Fiorentina home table position: 12

Juventus away table position: 3

Only 2 matches taking place in the Italian Serie A this Saturday and this clash between Fiorentina and Juventus is certainly a game of interest as both teams need all 3 points.

Fiorentina is in a downward spiral in terms of results, out of the Champions League they are struggling in the domestic league and now felt on the 10th spot with a total of 35 points and only one victory in the last 8 matches played.

Their recent performances has certainly taken it’s token on the team’s statistic and on home ground they are left with 7 victories one draw and no less than 5 lost showing a very weak goal ratio of 17 scored and 12 conceded in all 13 played.

Juventus is still in the books for a place in next season’s Champions League with their direct adversaries Palermo only 2 points above them after the direct match between the 2 last week.

Their results improved slightly recently and the team won 2 out of the past 3 matches in the Serie A. Juventus looks strong in away matches as they have won 6 and ended 2 in draws in 12 played so far with a modest goal ratio of 19 scored and 16 conceded.

My pick:  Juventus to win

Milan last 3 home matches: 

Atalanta last 5 league matches: 

Atalanta last 3 away matches: 

Table positions: Milan -2, Atalanta -19

Milan home table position: 6

Atalanta away table position: 14

A match in the Italian Serie A this Sunday in which AC Milan is the clear favorite to snatch all 3 points against a struggling Atalanta and attempt to close the gap from leaders Inter.

AC Milan is currently second in the Serie A with a total of 51 points, 4 from leaders and bitter rivals Inter. They are now up to 3 consecutive victorious matches, nonetheless all 3 against teams from the lower half of the table that are going through though phases like Udinese, Bari and Fiorentina.

Their statistic for home play, although not impressive is quite strong with 8 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats in all 12 played and a goal ratio of 25 scored with a worrying 15 conceded as problems in defense are obvious.

Atalata would be very happy to grab one point for this but they have their work cut of as the team is almost certain due to relegate this season. Only the 19th spot of the table and a total of 21 points, most of which are gathered in home matches.

As expected for a team in their position, their away statistic is disastrous having won only 2 matches so far end ended 3 in draw in no less than 13 played and a goal record of 9 scored with 20 conceded making this betting tip quite obvious.

My pick:  AC Milan to win (over 2.5 goals)

Fiorentina last 5 league matches:

Fiorentina last 3 away matches:

Table positions: Lazio -16, Fiorentina -10

Lazio home table position: 18

Fiorentina away table position: 9

A duel between 2 struggling teams in the Italian Serie A as bottom table Lazio take on Fiorentina this Saturday with both teams in desperate need of points.

Lazio had a disastrous season so far and the team’s results have not improved lately with only one victory in the last 7 played in the domestic league and with a current total of joust 25 points they sit only 2 above the relegation zone.

As expected the team has one of the poorest statistic of all involved in the competition, this being the home pitch record as well with only 3 victories and 4 draws in 11 played and a goal ratio to match with 11 scored and 12 conceded.

Fiorentina had a great start in the new year but lost a lot of ground lately, with top scorer Adrian Mutu suspended the team entered a phase in witch they encountered only strong teams and lost a lot of points. As Lazio they have only one victory in the last 7 matches played but nonetheless their form is improving and the last part of the season may bring much needed points.

They are currently on the 10th spot of the table with a total of 32 points, with 2 followers who can take their place in case of a loss or draw. No much hope for them if we consider the away statistic of 3 victories and 3 draws in 12 played and a negative goal ratio of 14 scored and 18 conceded.

My pick:  Fiorentina to win

Inter last 5 league matches:

Inter last 3 home matches: 

Sampdoria last 5 league matches:

Sampdoria last 3 away matches:

Table positions: Inter -1, Sampdoria -5

Inter home table position: 1

Sampdoria away table position: 8

Leading the Serie A with a comfortable advantage over it’s followers, Internazionale Milan will encounter though competition on Saturday as they welcome Sampdoria.

With 24 matches played so far, Inter shows an overall of 54 points, no less than 7 over second AS Roma and 9 over rivals AC Milan. The team has won only 2 of the past 5 matches played ending the last with Parma and Napoli in draws, both away but showing a real lack in motivation and determination.

If the team does not come together and start treating every match seriously, the last part of the competition may bring big surprises especially as AS Roma is in an incredible form. On home ground the team look very solid with with 10 victories and 2 draws in all 12 matches played and a goal ratio to complete this performance with 27 scored and 11 conceded.

Sampdoria is on a very decent 5th spot of the Serie A table with 39 points, the same amount as 4th Napoli but an inferior goal ratio. They are showing a great form lately as they won the past 4 matches played in the competition although aside from Fiorentina the other 3 teams were ranked low in the table.

Their record in away matches so far is very modest, winning 4 matches and ending one in a draw leaving no less than 7 losses and a awful goal statistic of joust 11 scored and no less than 24 conceded.

My pick:  Inter to win

Milan last 3 home matches: 

Udinese last 5 league matches: 

Udinese last 3 away matches:

Table positions: Milan -3, Udinese -15

Milan home table position: 7

Udinese away table position: 19

Losing the second position to AS Roma but with a game less than their adversaries, AC Milan will certainly push for the 3 points in this Friday match against struggling Udinese.

No victories for Milan in the last 3 matches played in the Italian Serie A, losing against leaders and bitter rivals Inter and ending in surprising draws Livorno and Bologna, they cannot afford any more mistakes especially since AS Roma, which has 23 matches played, have taken their place with a 2 point advantage.

The team still looks very strong on home ground where the statistic shows 7 victories, 2 draws and 2 matches lost, but are far from their rivals in terms of points gathered with a goal ratio of 23 scored and 13 conceded looking weak in defense.

Now one could have expected such a disastrous season for Udinese, with their good performances in the last edition and run in the European tournaments, the team  sits only on the 15th spot of the table with a margin of joust 2 points from the relegation zone.

A unexpected victory for them in the last leg of the league against a strong Napoli has given them a boost both in morale and in form but especially in terms of their current position. They have yet to win any matches whilst away this season in all 11 played, managing only 4 points in 4 draws and losing the rest of 7 with an awful goal ratio of 6 scored and 15 conceded showing a virtually non existent offensive.

My pick: AC Milan to win

Parma last 5 league matches: 

Parma last 3 home matches: 

Inter last 5 league matches: 

Inter last 3 away matches:

Table positions: Parma -13, Inter -1

Parma home table position: 10

Inter away table position: 1

Only one match this Wednesday in the Italian SerieA with leaders Internazionale Milan traveling to struggling Parma in what at first glace seems like a easy task for the champions.

Parma is in a disastrous situation with no victories in the last 6 matches played from which they gathered only one point in a goalless draw against another deception of the season, Udinese.

After their defeat at the hands of Palermo last week, Parma is left with a total of 29 points in all 22 matches played and the 13th spot in the charts, 7 points above the danger zone but with very slim chances of garbing any points in this match. Their statistic on home ground is still decent with 6 victories and 2 draws in all 10 played but this tends to fade away in the light of their recent results.

Inter is cruising through the competition, first spot for them and a total of 52 points, 8 points advantage over next in line AS Roma and a game less. It looks like the trophy is already theirs if all goes as planed to the end of the tournament.

Their statistic in home matches is crushing for any opponent, no less than 10 victories and 2 draws but the team is encountering some difficulties lately when playing away with only one victory in the last 4 played and a statistic identical to Parma’s at home.

My pick: Inter to win

Inter last 3 home matches: 

Cagliari last 5 league matches: 

Cagliari last 3 away matches:

Table positions: Inter -1, Cagliari -8

Inter home table position: 1

Cagliari away table position: 5

Leading the Italian Serie A by a comfortable margin, Internazionale Milan will encounter Cagliari this Sunday in their attempt for another champions title.

Inter has a very solid 8 point advantage from second AC Milan in the overall standings with 21 matches played by each and AS Roma with game more. They are in a very good form with 4 victories in the last 5 matches played and a 2-2 draw away to Bari in what was a very challenging game.

They have the best record of all the teams on home ground, winning no less than 9 matches and ending 2 in draws in all 11 played with a solid goal ratio of 24 scored and 11 conceded.

Cagliari have a very though mission on their hands and obtaining one point from this clash would be a positive result for them. They sit on the 8th spot of the table with a total of 32 points, still in arms reach of a European tournament spot but feeling the pressure from no less than 5 followers in holding their position.

Two victories for the in the last 5 played and an important number of matches ended in draws. In away, their statistic is decent with 4 victories and 2 draws in 10 played but a weak goal ratio of +1 with 11 scored and 10 conceded.

My pick: Inter to win

Palermo last 5 league matches: 

Palermo last 3 home matches: 

Parma last 5 league matches: 

Parma last 3 away matches:

Table positions: Palermo -6, Parma -13

Palermo home table position: 3

Parma away table position: 12

A great chance for Palermo to build on their current position in the
Italian Serie A as they welcome struggling Parma this Saturday.

Palermo is showing inconsistency lately in the domestic league,
alternating good performances mainly on home pitch with loss of precious
points in away matches. They sit on a very respectably 6th spot of the
table with a total of 34 points in 22 matches points, the same as
Juventus but with a weaker goal ratio.

The pressure is high as no less than 5 teams can take their place in
case of a loss here. The team performs very well on home ground winning
the last 4 matches played and not losing an since the start of the
championship with a statistic of 7 victories and 4 draws in all 11
played and a very good goal ratio of 17 scored and 7 conceded showing
great emphasis for their defensive play.

Parma is losing ground very fast and now fallen on the 13th spot with
a total of 29 points and only one point gathered from their last 5
encounters in the competition.

They managed their only point in a goalless draw against another
deception of the league, Udinese and i away matches the situation is
terrible with no victories in the last 4 played and a record of only 2
wins and 3 draws in 11 played, having conceded no less than 22 goals, a
medium of 2 per match.

My pick: Palermo to win
