Mini preview each game
Udinese v Genoa
Attractive game on paper. Both teams have very good technical players and are quite offensive aswell. Should see some goals. We will see if Genoa can improve on their away record, and if Udinese have improved somewhat from last season. I predict a score draw here, maybe 1-1.
Roma - Cesena
Roma should give up hope if they somehow mess it up against a team that is promoted again. I think with this being the first matchday, Roma should be concentrated enough to win this, without playing too well. I will predict 2-0 to Roma.
Bari - Juventus
Seems like a crisis at Juventus if you were to read the Juve forums. However this is a new season and everyone deserves a chance. Bari will be watchable again this season with the 4-4-2, but I think Juve will start the season with a typical performance of old. 1-0 to the away team here.
AC Milan - Lecce
Since Milan last won the Scudetto these are the games that have hurt them. Too many home draws against the average opposition of Serie A. Like Roma though, being the first matchday I expect no major mistakes and maybe an entertaining game. 3-0 to Milan.
Palermo - Cagliari
This should be a home banker really. Palermo love playing at their own stadium and Cagliari will find it difficult away from their own. Will be nice to see the Palermo tridente in action this season, and I think this could be the highest scoring game of the weekend. 4-1 to Palermo.
Parma - Brescia
Another game that is a home banker for me. On paper Parma have a really nice looking team, Brescia will need time to settle in Serie A once again. Not sure if Diamanti will be ready to start aswell, so I will go for 2-0 to Parma.
Sampdoria - Lazio
Samp are normally very impressive at the Marassi, but this game largely hangs on what mood they will be in after the crushing defeat on Tuesday. Lazio have a good team this year, this is certainly going to be a tough game to predict. However I will go for 1-0 to Sampdoria.
Bologna - Inter Milan
The defence of yet another title for Inter will happen at Bologna. I am just hoping Inter do not make minced meat out them Bologna will put up a good fight I think , but come up short. 1-0 to Inter.
