Football. ua presents the announcement of the matches of the sixteenth round of the championship of Italy.

Teams representing Italy in European competition, dropped themselves the burden of the Champions League and the Europa League until February and now can focus on domestic tournaments. It is difficult to guess what the sigh of relief for Juventus, Roma, Napoli, Lazio, Atalanta and Milan, which secured the European cup spring and which returned to their native penates. After all, teams can get down to work both with redoubled energy, and with coolness - it all depends on how the coach can adjust their wards. Based on this, the tour results can be completely unpredictable.

Timetable of the tour Cagliari - Sampdoria Saturday, December 9, 19:00. Cagliari, Sardinia Arena. Arbiter - Fabrizio Paskva Both teams won their last victories on the same day - November 20. Naturally, each of them will strive to interrupt a fairly long non-losing series, especially since the hosts were in the immediate vicinity of the relegation zone, and the guests would like to approach the top five, the gap from which has already grown to six points.

Chievo-Roma Sunday, December 10, 1:30 pm. Verona, Marc Antonio Bentegodi Stadium. Arbiter - Fabio Maresca Guests, who unexpectedly won their group of the Champions League, ahead of Chelsea and Atletico, came to a duel against Chievo in excellent spirits. And in this lies the danger to the team of Eusebio Di Francesco, as the euphoria after the completion of the group round of the Champions League and awareness of the relative weakness of the opponent can adjust the "wolves" to a complacent mood.

But in the current situation, the Romans lose points, especially in matches against no top competitors, they should not: lag behind Juventus is only three points (when playing in reserve), and there is a chance to come close to the top three.

Interesting facts - Roma scores at least three goals in the last four games against Chievo in all tournaments.

forecast 1: 0 Napoli - Fiorentina Sunday, December 10, 16:00. Naples, Stadio San Paolo. Referee - Mikael Fabbri Even before the start of the group stage of the Champions League, representatives of Napoli claimed that their priority this season - Serie A. What can we say now, when from the Champions League "Parthenopia" Shakhtar's efforts were freed? It can be assumed that in the European League Neapolitans do not even plan to give their best. However, before the 1/16 finals of the Europa League for another two months, in which Napoli will certainly try to regain the status of the main contender for the Scudetto.

Will it succeed? The question is complicated ... If at the start of the season everyone was vying with admiration for the attacking actions of the Neapolitans, now the team of Maurizio Sarri has essentially passed in this component of the game. After losing Milik's injury, Sarri was unable to maneuver. A worthy replacement for someone from the triple Kalehon-Insinje-Mertens is not, and these guys are clearly exhausted. And now the same speed of movement and players, and the ball is no longer in sight, and without it Napoli already in no way surpasses competitors.

Fiorentina has no personnel problems that opponents have faced, but will Stefano Pioli's team be able to use their relative freshness? In the last five games, "violets" won only once, but at the same time do not lose three rounds in a row.

Interesting facts - Napoli won at Fiorentina last four games at home.

Fiorentina: Sportietello - Lorini, Pesselia, Astori, Biragi - Benassi, Badel, Veretu - Chiesa, Simeone, Theroux.

Do not play: Milik, Gulam (both - Napoli).

In doubt: Insigne (Napoli).

forecast 2: 1 Udinese - Benevento Sunday, December 10, 16:00. Udine, Dacia Arena. Referee - Gianluca Aureliano After the first point in Serie A, won in the last round in a duel against Milan, from Benevento now waiting for the first victory, but the chances of getting it is not so much. Forwards, the "witches" are not impressive, and all the hope for the goalkeeper of Brignoli's team, whose goal brought Benevento a draw in the last round.

By the way, readers of Football. ua recognized the best player of the 15th round was Brignoli: goalkeeper Benevento scored 42.8% of the vote, beating midfielder Inter Perisic (35.6%) and striker Juventus Higuain (14.7%).

Interesting facts - The teams have never met each other.

- Benevento's away losing streak in the championship is 7 matches.

Crotone: Cordas - Samprisi, Ceccherini, Simic, Pavlovich - Rodin, Mandragora, Barberis, Stoyan - Trotta, Budimir.

Will not play: Magnanelli, Lettshert, Sensi, Ajapong - Isco.

forecast 1: 1 Milan - Bologna Sunday, December 10, 21:45. Milan, Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. Arbitrator - Marco Guida Hardly something expected a miracle from the change on the coaching bridge of Milan. And the results of the team under the direction of Gennaro Gattuso fully correspond to this assumption. Draw against Benevento and defeat in the European League from Rijeka (albeit in a decisive match) shocked fans of the "devils", but they still believe in Reno's ability to shake up the team.

Will this happen in a duel against a neighbor on the standings - a difficult question. In fact, unlike Milan, who has a three-match losing streak in the championship, Bologna does not lose three matches.

Interesting facts - Milan can not hit the opponents' gate in the last four rounds of Serie A.

1: 1 forecast Genoa - Atalanta Monday, December 11, 20:00. Genoa, Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris. Arbitrator - Daniela Doveri Interesting facts - Atalanta won the last three games against Genoa in all tournaments.

Atalanta: Berisha - Tolaya, Caldara, Maziello - Hatebourg, Freler, Kristante, Spinazzola - Gomez, Ilicic - Petagna.

In doubt: Laxalt (Genoa).

forecast 1: 2 Lazio - Torino Monday, December 11, 22:00. Rome, Stadio Olimpico. Arbitrator - Piero Giacomelli The defeat in a decisive match against Zulte-Waregem in the Europa League is unlikely to somehow affect the mood of Lazio before the fight against Torino. In addition, the "bulls" have recently become a convenient contender for "eagles".

Turinians do not lose in the last four games (although they do not win), so it's easy to be sure they will not, but the Romans (taking into account the match in hand) are a little behind the top three, and are unlikely to want to increase their lag.

Interesting facts - The last four games in Serie A Torino ended in a draw.

- The unbeaten home series of Lazio in duels against Torino in all tournaments is 12 matches.

Approximate compositions of Lazio: Strakosha - Bashtush, de Vrey, Radu - Marusic, Lukas Leyva, Parolo, Lulich - Luis Alberto, Milinkovich-Savic, Immobile.

Torino: Sirigu - De Silvestri, Nculu, Burdisso, Barreka - Obi, Rincon, Baselly - Iago Falke, Belotti, Llajic.

Do not play: Nani, Di Gennaro - Ansaldi.
