This weekends action begins with Genoa hosting a rampant Milan team. Milan ran out 4-0 winners over Chievo last weekend and are set for another high scoring victory over a Genoa side that folded tamely against struggling Cesena, 2-0. It is more than likely that Ibrahimovic will continue his impressive goal scoring form and see his team top the table for at least 24 hours.
Two evening kick offs on Saturday see Inter take on Udinese and Napoli host Leece. Inter will be looking to continue their climb up the table after a dreadful start but Udinese will be in a buoyant mood after they beat Roma 2-0. Udinese havn't won at the San Siro since 2004 but this represents a great oppertunity for them to do so. Napoli could only manage a 1-1 draw with Atlanta last weekend but look sure to return to winning ways with a victory over bottom team Leece who slumped to yet another defeat losing 1-0 at home to Catania. Cavani is certain to find his name on the score sheet yet again.
A host of games on Sunday begins with Catania V Cagliari. Cagliari are now seven games without a win after being held to a 1-1 draw with Bologna and this is no easy task with Catania having a good record against Cagliari. It is likely both teams will have to settle for a draw. Fiorentina V Roma sees an oppertunity for both teams to return to winning ways after both were beaten 2-0 last weekend by Palmero and Udinese respectfully. Fiorentina currently lye sixteenth in the table and only a win on Sunday will be acceptable to the fans and may well save SiniĊĦa Mihajlovic's job for another week. Roma meanwhile continue to dissapoint sitting just seventh in the table. The good news for the gillarossi is that talisman Francesco Totti is set to return.
Lowly Cesena face a daunting task as they travel to Turin to host table toppers Juventus. Cesena have won their last two games but Juventus will present a very different proposition from Genoa and Bologna. This could turn into a romp if Juve's top striker Matri continues his great goal scoring form. Siena can take heart from their narrow defeat at the hands of Inter last when they travel to Bologna. Bologna have won just one of their last 12 home games in the league, but Siena are yet to win their first game on the road. Siena may just edge this one. Parma host Palmero in Sundays evening game with Palmero in much better heart than their hosts after they beat Fiorentina and Parma were beaten somewhat suprisingly by Novara. The stats however are in Parma's favour with Palmero having not scored an away goal this season and Parma never losing to Palmero at home in Serie A. A draw seems the most likely out come which will see Parma get their first draw of the season.
The final game of the weekend sees another top v bottom clash as forth placed Lazio face eighteenth placed Novara. Lazio were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Juventus last weekend and can resume winning ways here, with the likes of Klose and Cisse surely having too much class for the team with the worst defensive record in the league. Lazio continue to be the suprise package of this season and will continue to put pressure on the league leaders.
