I’d rather watch them in Serie A. (So that they can play Parma!) I don’t think we can easily view Serie B here in US of A. So, in a dreadfully dull Monday offensive display in Udine by the home squad, they still managed a goal in extra time to draw “whatever happened to” Napoli. (Nice header by Osimhen earlier, though.) So here it is: 2 of 6 clubs (#14 thru #19) are in relegation danger. 4 will survive. I’m thinking Udinese has a better than even chance to survive because of their remaining schedule: @Lecce / Empoli / @Frosinone Of course nothing is sure, these guys could only draw at home against Salernitana a few weeks back. At least Udinese get an exciting and compelling finish to their seadon this year!
Congrats to Bologna. Qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in 60 years. Juventus also back in but they've been a disgrace recently. Just two wins in their last 15 matches.
Glorious weekend for Udinese. All five of their Relegation Rivals lost on the weekend, while they got their 5th win of the season, at Lecce, today, on a first-half Lorenzo Lucca header. Let’s keep all the Moms first names on the jerseys until the season is over! (Especially Ljiliana’s, as her Bosnian Serb son Lazar Samardzic iced it with a late game insurance tally for the 2-0 final score.) A win at home (Empoli) or on the road (Frosinone) ensure Udinese of 36 pts and another campaign in Serie A. What a weird season. 18 draws for Udinese, would have been 20 but for those two recent games conceding in the dying ticks of stoppage times. And their 4 previous wins? Against other bottom feeders at home? NO! These! @ AC Milan Bologna @ Juventus @ Lazio Can’t make this stuff up. P.S. And as dire as it seems for last year’s 8th place Sassuolo, I’llwager that wins hosting Cagliari and visiting Lazio squeak them in.
Allegri sacked after his behaviour at the final . Juventus fire Massimiliano Allegri over his behaviour in Coppa Italia final
Worst thing about this sacking is that it's not about his awful football that he's been allowed to broadcast for all to see for the past 3 seasons, it's because of something he did on Wednesday (no idea what it is, frankly I couldn't care less). Hopefully Juve get a manager that actually does something with the ball. With Chiesa & Vlahovic uptop, they could be one of the most lethal sides in Europe.
