Libro P Partite Insights Giornata Matchday 18 Serie A TIM 2019-20 5 - 6 January 2020 BRESCIA vs LAZIO Lazio have won four of their last eight Serie A TIM away games against Brescia (D3 L1) after having failed to win each of their previous 11 such matches (D2 L9). Brescia have picked up seven points in their last four Serie A TIM games, as many as they had in the previous 13 (W2 D1 L10). Lazio have scored 2+ goals in each of their last 11 league games: only one team has had a longer such run in the history of the competition: Torino in 1948 (13). SPAL vs HELLAS VERONA Both teams have scored in each of the four Serie A TIM meetings between the sides. Hellas Verona have scored in each of their last seven Serie A TIM matches and could score in eight in a row for the first time since March 2015. Andrea Petagna has scored 50% of SPAL’s Serie A TIM goals this season (6/12), the highest ratio in the competition. GENOA vs SASSUOLO Sassuolo have lost only one of their last six Serie A TIM matches against Genoa (3W, 2D). Goran Pandev found the net in his last Serie A TIM match, he has scored in two in a row for Genoa in the competition only once (three in May 2017). Sassuolo are unbeaten in their last five Serie A TIM away matches (W2 D3), their joint-longest run on the road in the competition. ROMA vs TORINO Roma have won each of their last nine Serie A TIM home matches against Torino, scoring 2+ goals in each of these victories (27 in total, 3 per game on average). Roma have only lost two of their last 32 Serie A TIM meetings against Torino (W21 D9). Torino have collected seven points in their last three away Serie A TIM matches, their best three-match away run in the league since September-November 2018. BOLOGNA vs FIORENTINA Fiorentina are unbeaten in their last ten Serie A TIM matches against Bologna dating back to 2013 (7W, 3D). Bologna have scored in each of their last 11 league games and could find the net in 12 in a row for the first time since April 2002 (16). Fiorentina will be the ninth Serie A team managed by Giuseppe Iachini: in the three points for a win era, only Alberto Malesani (11) has coached more teams in the competition. ATALANTA vs PARMA Atalanta are unbeaten in their last four Serie A TIM meetings against Parma and could avoid defeat in five meetings in a row for the first time ever. Atalanta scored 81 Serie A TIM goals in 2019, their best tally in a single calendar year – their previous two top-scoring years were also under Gian Piero Gasperini (64 in 2017 and 67 in 2018). Only two players born after 1/1/1999 have made 7+ assists in the Top-5 European Leagues this season: Dejan Kulusevski and Jadon Sancho - Parma’s midfielder played his first three Serie A games for Atalanta last season. JUVENTUS vs CAGLIARI Cagliari have only won two of their 38 Serie A TIM away matches against Juventus (D14 L22), last winning in January 2009, under Massimiliano Allegri. Leonardo Bonucci played 28648 minutes in the 2010s, only Lionel Messi (28846) played more among the outfield players in the Top 5 European Leagues in the period. Cagliari have found the net in each of their last 10 Serie A TIM away games: only once have they scored in more successive matches on the road in the competition, 13 between 1993 and 1994. MILAN vs SAMPDORIA Milan have kept clean sheets in 14 of their last 26 home games against Sampdoria in Serie A TIM. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the AC Milan player with the best minutes-to-goal ratio in Serie A TIM in the three points for a win era (0,69 – 42 goals in 61 games played). Sampdoria have collected 10 of their 15 points this season since the beginning of November (3W, 1D). LECCE vs UDINESE Only one of the 26 Serie A TIM meetings between Udinese and Lecce have ended in a draw (2-2 in October 2008) – the Bianconeri have won 16 of those matches, with nine wins for the Giallorossi. Seven different players have scored Lecce’s last seven Serie A TIM goals. Seko Fofana has been directly involved in three of Udinese’s last four goals in Serie A TIM (one goal, two assists), after he didn’t score or assist any of the club’s previous nine league goals. NAPOLI vs INTER The last away win for Inter in Serie A TIM against Napoli was back in October 1997: Napoli have won nine of the meetings and drawn four since. Inter have lost only one of their last 13 away games in Serie A TIM (W10 D2), a 1-4 defeat at Napoli, in their last away game last season. Romelu Lukaku has scored eight goals in his first eight Serie A TIM away games..

  • Madrid Close In
    PREVIEW ISSUE FOUR – 24TH APRIL 2012 MADRID CLOSE IN REAL TAKE THE SPOILS IN THE EL CLASICO AND CLOSE IN ON THE SILVERWARE After a poor week for both sides in Europe, Real and Barca were desperate to grab a win against their biggest rivals on a dramatic, rain-lashed Saturday night at the Nou Camp. It was Real that grabbed the vital win and probably clinched the La Liga title. Los Merengues went ahead through German midfielders Sami Khedira and were comfortable for long periods, but Barca’s Chilean substitute Alexis Sánchez equalised with just 20 minutes remaining. Cristiano Ronaldo’s clinical strike just three minutes later settled the game with Madrid now seven points clear, with only four games remaining. Madrid coach José Mourinho named an very attacking team and his side began the better. Ronaldo’s early header from a corner brought a superb flying save from goalkeeper Víctor Valdés. His opposite number Iker Casillas was then quickly off his line when full-back Dani Alves dispossessed Sergio Ramos. The game was being played at a fearsome pace and French striker Karim Benzema brought the best out of Valdés again. Barca thought they had gone front when Alves had the ball in the net after a Cristian Tello run, but the youngster had been flagged offside. INSIDE THIS WEEK’S WFW Real’s brave start was rewarded when Pepe’s header from another corner was half- - RESULTS ROUND-UP ON ALL MAJOR stopped by Valdes and Khedira tackled an COMPETITIONS FROM AROUND THE hesitant Carles Puyol to push the ball into the WORLD net to put Madrid ahead.
