Round 21 in the Italian Serie A and leaders Juventus are up against what at first glace seems to be an easy opponent, relegation threatened Siena.

Juventus is still leading the Serie A table with a total of 44 points, just one above Milan and three over third spot holders Udinese. A fragile lead for them no question about this but Juventus have one game less played than their main opposition and a victory against Siena could give them some breathing space.

A good form in latest matches for Juventus as the team managed no less than 5 victories in their last 6 matches played remaining the only undefeated team this season in the Serie A, a superb achievement so late in the competition.

Meanwhile Siena is struggling to get some distance from the relegation zone, they are currently on the 17th spot of the table and with a total of just 19 points, they sit just 3 points above the danger zone.

Two victories for Siena in their last 5 matches played, latest one in the Coppa Italia when they defeated Chievo by the slightest of margins, but this success was quickly overshadowed by their defeat against Fiorentina last week.

My pick: Juventus to win ( over 2.5 goals )

Very exciting match at the top of the Serie A with leaders Juventus welcoming third spot holders Udinese on Saturday for a game that could change the board in the upper half.

Juventus is currently in the driver’s seat of the Serie A chart with a total of 41 points leading to a very fragile one point advantage over second AC Milan and three points from their current adversaries Udinese.

Thus is a very important match for them as a loss or even a draw could cost them the top spot but form and results are on their side especially after a well deserved 3-0 victory over Roma last week in Coppa Italia.

Udinese suffering some setbacks in their attempt to take Serie A by surprise, the 3-2 loss against Genoa two weeks ago costing them and with a narrow 2-1 victory over Catania last week it’s clear that the team is not in top form.

Although being very close to the top of the table, Udinese is feeling intense pressure from next in line Internazionale, that sits just 3 points bellow.

My pick: Juventus to win ( under 2.5 goals )

Sunday in the Italian Serie A with Internazionale Milan getting another chance to advance in the table as they welcome Lazio.

Inter with a great morale after defeating their bitter rivals AC Milan last week, closing the gap from the leading teams as they continue their ascent hoping to get once again top of the table.

Superb form for inter as they managed to win their past seven games played in all competition and their last 4 played at home in which they scored 13 goals and conceded only 2.

Lazio is currently on the 4th spot of the table with a fragile 1 point advantage over Inter but with a poor form showed when compared to the opposition.

They have managed to win their last 2 games played, the first in Coppa italia against Hellas Verona and last week against Atalanta in the Serie A and although these results where good in term of morale, the value of their opponents is modest to say the least.

My pick: Inter to win ( over 2.5 goals )

Serie A table positions: Napoli - 6, Bologna - 17

Last match in Serie A’s round 18 and the only one to be played on Monday as  Napoli hosts Bologna, each team with a different goal in mind.

Napoli is currently on the 6th spot of the table with a modest total of 27 points, they have a two points deficit from 5th Inter and three from 4th in line Lazio.

Their form is on the rise as they managed three straight victories in latest matches but achieving even a spot in Europa League at the end of the season will take a lot of effort with so many teams fighting at the top.

Bologna on the other hand is on a disappointing 17th spot of the Serie A table with just 18 points gathered in all 17 played but still a 6points safety net from the relegation zone.

Their 2-0 victory over Catania last week has given Bologna a good morale boost but hopes are few for a positive result against Napoli especially with such a poor defense.

My pick: Napoli to win ( over 2.5 goals )

Derby match in the city of Milan on Sunday as historic rivals Ac Milan and Internazionale go head to head writing a new chapter in this spectacular battle.

AC Milan welcome their rivals from the top spot of the Seria A table, with a total of 37 points, same as second Juventus but a superior goal balance of +21 in all 17 games played this season.

Excellent form showed by Ac Milan in the past few matches, managing four straight victories without conceding any goals, looking to keep the trend as the fight at the top of the table intensifies.

Inter on the other hand managed a dramatic comeback after a very poor start to the season, ending up on the 5th spot of the Serie A table with a total of 29 points, far from the leaders but close to a Champions League spot.

Five straight victories for them in latest matches, scoring 13 goals and conceding only one but against modest relatively opponents, nevertheless giving them a great morale as they take on their biggest rivals.

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

Serie A table positions: Roma - 7, Chievo - 12

No less than 8 games to be played in the Italian Serie A on Sunday with AS Roma welcoming Chievo as they push forward for an European cup spot.

Roma is currently on a modest 7th spot of the chart with a total of 24 points in all 16 matches played, same amount of points as 6th Napoli but felling the pressure from Catania which is just two points below.

Alternating form for them through out the season, mixing important victories with painful defeats. They finished the year with two straight victories and are now favorites for the third.

Chievo is on the 12th spot of the Serie A table with a total of 20 points and as they have a good advantage over the relegation zone, a victory in this match could boost them no less than four spots in the chart, depending on their adversaries results.

Two victories for them in their lats three games played and more importantly showing a great defense as they conceded only one goal in their last 5 matches played.

My pick: Roma to win ( under 2.5 goals )

The Italian Serie A is back in action this weekend with two matches to be played on Saturday, last of them Internazionale hosting Parma.

Inter is looking forward to continue their rise in the table as they are currently on the 5th spot of the chart with a total of 26 points, no less than 8 from leaders AC Milan and Juventus.

They managed to stop their downward spiral that lead them to the relegation zone in the beginning of the season and with four straight victories before the short winter break, Inter looks back in business even though they have a huge deficit to fill.

Parma is the underdog of this fixture as they stand on a disappointing 13th spot of the Serie A chart with a total of just 19 points in all 16 matches played, seven points above the relegation zone.

No victories in their last six matches played, with the last four ending in draws against fairly modest opponents and no victories in away games since October.

My pick: Inter to win ( over 2.5 goals )

Serie A table positions: Cagliari - 12, Milan - 2

The last of two matches that are played in the Italian Serie A on Tuesday as raining champions AC Milan travel to Cagliari.

Cagliari the clear underdog of this confrontation as they sit on a modest 12th spot in the Serie A table with a total of just 18 points in all 15 games played.

They still have a comfortable advantage over the relegation zone but if their current for does not improve fast they could face an important plunge in the rankings.

AC Milan, on the other hand, are second in the chart with a total of 31 points so far, only two bellow current leaders Juventus and with the prospect of a victory against Cagliari in sight.

By defeating Siena this weekend they managed to stop their two match draw streak and are once again back in the fight for the trophy. Although the 2-0 scoreline may lead to the believe the champions had an easy match against Siena, on the pitch Milan struggled in the offensive department and both of their goals where scored in the second half.

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

Last match of the round in the Italian Serie A and the only one to be played on Monday as current leaders Juventus travel to a struggling AS Roma team.

As Roma on the 10th spot of the table with a very poor run so far especially when compared to their aspirations. They have a total of just 17 points in all 13 games played and a negative goal balance of -2.

They lost their last two matches in the Serie A, both of them played away, against Udinese and Fiorentina without coring a single goal but conceding a total of 5.

Juventus on the other hand is leading the chart at the start of this round with a total of 29 points and a superb goal balance of +14, making for their best season in years.

Only Milan can take their place in case they lose this one, but even though Roma is a reputable adversary, Juventus has no less than 6 victories in their last 7 games played.

My pick: Juventus to win ( under 2.5 goals )

Closing match of round 13 in the Italian Serie A and the only one to be played Monday as Lazio host newly promoted Novara.

Lazio going through a very poor form as they failed to win any of their last 3 matches, currently ending up on the 4th spot of the table after the weekend games, with a total of 22 points.

No room for them to advance as second AC Milan and third Udinese are 5 points above but Napoli managed to close the gap, ending up just two points behind.

Novara on the other hand seems to experience a rise in form as they managed to win last week against Parma and this Tuesday against Catania in the Coppa Italia.

Nonetheless they are still struggling in the relegation zone with a total of just 10 points in all 12 games played and any positive outcome from this difficult trip is hard to predict.

My pick:  Lazio to win ( over 2.5 goals )
