Remaining Previews to come...

Match of the Week:
#1 Inter @ #4 Palermo: SAT 3:45PM EST Live on FSC and RAI
Round 10: 5-3 Inter
Inter riding some huge momentum after beating Chelsea midweek. However it's a different story in the league as they're lead is down to 1 point ahead of Milan. Palermo dropped a big opportunity to put some space between them and Juve for 4th.
(My Prediction: 2-2)

#7 Genoa @ #10 Fiorentina: SAT 1:00PM EST Live on ESPN360, FS+, and RAI
Round 10: 2-1 Genoa
Genoa is coming off the winning end of the most exciting game of the year. Fiorentina, though underwhelmingly average, are still capable of picking up a win over anyone in the league. Should be a great one.
(My Prediction: 1-2 Fiorentina)

#16 Udinese @ #3 Roma SAT: 3:45PM EST Live on ESPN360
Round 10: 2-0 Roma
Don't let Udinese's standing fool you, they can be a very big challenge for Roma. Without a win here and Roma's title challange could be looking bleak.
(My Prediction: 1-3 Roma)

#15 Catania @ #13 Chievo: SUN 10:00AM EST
Round 10: 2-1 Chievo
It's a shame for Catania that there's only 10 matches left because they're really starting to pull things together. Maxi Lopez established himself last week with a beauty of a goal to it up against Inter. Chievo were hard done to take nothing away from the other club from Milan last week.
(My Prediction: 1-0 Catania)

#8 Napoli @ #2 Milan: SUN 10:00AM EST Live on FSC and RAI
Round 10: 2-2
Napoli claim to have been hard-done last week against Fiorentina last week but nonetheless, they've still only taken 3 points from their last 5 matches and are currently outside of European qualification. Milan's never gotten luckily, as it took magic from Seedorf to close the gap to 1 point. You would think they'll put in a great performance but last week's has me hesitant.
(My Prediction: 2-2)

#18 Livorno @ #19 Atalanta: SUN 10:00AM EST
Round 10: 1-0 Livorno
Gettin to the bottom of the barrel here. Livorno showing fighting spirits last week (or maybe just Lucarelli). Atalanta are just looking hopeless.
(My Prediction: 2-0 Livorno)


#14 Bologna @ #20 Siena: SUN 10:00AM EST
Round 10: 2-1 Bologna
Siena still fighting to see another season in Serie A. Bologna however have not be easy lately. Should be a well-fought out match.
(My Prediction: 2-0 Bologna)

#12 Parma @ #11 Bari: SUN 10:00AM EST
Round 10: 2-0 Parma
Two teams that don't have a whole lot left to play for. Should still be good as both teams have had great seasons after being promoted. Maybe there's some bragging right to fight for.
(My Prediction: 2-3 Bari)

#17 Lazio @ #9 Cagliari: SUN 10:00AM EST
Round 10: 1-0 Cagliari
Time is running out for Lazio. They've been simply pitiful this year and if they do have the ability to string together a few points, it has start soon. They might have a bit of a lifeline with #18 Livorno and #19 Atalanta going at it this week but points are points. Cagliari, though not doing well as of late, should provide a great challenge.
(My Prediction: 1-2 Cagliari)

#5 Juventus @ #6 Sampdoria: SUN 3:45PM EST Live on FSC, ESPN360, and RAI
Round 10: 5-1 Juventus
Juve got the wind knocked out of them two more times this year with a draw against Siena after leading 3-0 after 10 minutes and then blowing a 3-1 agg lead against Fulham, only to lose 4-1 (4-5), even after scoring the first goal of the match!!! Ugly, ugly times. I can't believe they're even in 5th! Sampdoria let some points slip last week against Bologna. They'll be up for it at home though on Sunday night.
(My Prediction: 1-3 Sampdoria)
