Well. Have we all calmed down after the excitement of the Milan derby? Or is it still hard to believe that Inter managed to beat Milan? Really, anyone who'd been watching Max Allegri's tactics (or lack of them) this season should have known how to beat the rossoneri, although credit should also be given to Ignazio Abate for his impressive error.
Serie A 2012, Week 19 Preview And Schedule: Nothing Too Exciting In This Round
Inter - Lazio is definitely the highlight of this round in Serie A, but we note a few matches you might want to tune into while you’re waiting for Sunday night.
Anyway, let’s focus on this week, shall we? Not that there’s a lot terribly exciting to take in. The highlight of the week is undoubtedly Inter - Lazio, especially with the nerazzurri having announced they’re back in the title race. But don’t worry, we’ll have a full preview of that one up!
Saturday kicks off with Roma hosting Cesena, which should be an easy victory for the home side, given that the Seahorses are still mired in the relegation zone. The day ends with Juventus traveling to Atalanta, which, again, should bring no surprises. Juve’s unbeaten run has got to end at some point, but likely not in Bergamo -- although we could very well see yet another draw from the Old Lady.
Sunday’s early match, between Bologna and Parma, is most likely skipable. Of the cluster of midday matches, though, you’ve got a few to choose from. Novara - Milan will likely be an easy call, as in midweek Milan trotted out their babies and still beat the biancoazzurri, although they did need extra time to do so. I’d keep an eye on Palermo - Genoa, as the latter managed to beat Udinese in a thriller last week. Speaking of the zebrette, that’s the match I’d choose to focus on. Vincenzo Montella’s free-flowing Catania visit the Stadio Friuli to take on one of the staunchest defenses in the league -- and now they’re doing it without goalkeeper Mariano Andújar, who fell out with the club and headed back to Argentina. Should be an interesting one.
