This week Italian Serie A matches
|
 Juventus have practically ended their season, with a defeat in Siena, they have said goodbye to catching up the second Roma and they will have to play CL qualifications. They are facing the transfer window, chairman Gigli stated that each line will be strengthened with one top player and fans expect a lot from talented Giovinco and Marchisi who are getting back from their loans. It will be interesting to see what Juve can do during transfer window, director Secco, who is in hospital after his motor crash, dint turn out to be transfer guru even though he is MoGGi’s favorite. Juventus wasted 50 million last year for the bad transfers…had they done the transfers better, they would have probably been fighting for the title. This way, with the help of their ‘old school’, they have reached the third place. Their plan is accomplished. Catania is in problems after the home defeat to Reggina. They are now with only a point more than Parma and two more than Empoli in relegation zone, they will wait for other results since many combinations are in. if Parma lose in Firenze, Catania will have the open path towards the survival in front of them. They will host Roma in the closing round, Roma will not need points and the win in that match would mean a definite survival for them. Still, a lot of things will be clearer after Sunday. It is up to Catania to give their best and to try to surprise Juventus.
Only trophies are expected from Juventus next season
Even though the officials in the club are repeating that third place is a success, after the come back from Serie B, most of the fans will disagree. What is enough for other clubs is not standard for Juventus. It is true that the club is getting back to Champions League after two years and that it was the imperative, but, on the other hand, bianconeri could’ve done more. Refs did massacre them, but they gambled their title chances against the smaller teams which wasn’t the case in the past. Namely if you take a look at the table of mutual duels of the teams from big four, Juve are convincingly first, but they scattered some points against the teams from the middle and even from the bottom which is simply inadmissible. We have already mentioned bad transfer job, the team that played in Serie B has practically done it all themselves, while the overpaid Tiago, Andrade, Almiron turned to be failures. Sissoko is a different story but any other failure might cost the sports director Srecco his job, which is sure.
Catania took only six points away
Zenga replaced Baldini and marked two home wins before losing to Reggina, but the Elephants are not different away. Only six draws are a devastating result they seem harmless and scoring is only an abstract noun. We have already mentioned the combinations, Catania played during the week with Roma, they failed to compensate the minus from the first game, but it is not important…Serie A was the priority during ther entire season. We should also mention that Spinesi’s injury is the only thing that happened in the game with Reggina. They are now lacking the classic striker although it is not a big problem since the yare playing with Juventus and Roma in the last two games, the teams that will not be defending their goal.
Betting verdict
Catania stopped Juve at Massimino in the first part of the season, it was 1-1. The guests were better but Del Piero only managed to level the score from a penalty kick. The odds on Juventus in this game are 1.80 which implies that bookies feel the motivation could be crucial, that is, that Juventus are not going full speed. They have a lot of fans in Catania, elephants might even get a discount, and anyway, we wouldn’t advise you to bet on home win. We are once again recommending goals because Del Piero and Trezeguet are fighting Boriello for the title of top scorer.
Team news : Molinaro is suspended for Juventus. Iaquinta is out till end of the season. Spinesi is injured for Catania
