Catania vs AC Milan

Serie A, Italy

Date: 29 Nov 2009

Stadium: Angelo Massimino

Milan are coming down the Etna  on Sunday evening. Whenever it comes the time for great Milan game the temperature is rising. This time the Elephant are buoyed by a good performance and a point in Sicilian derby game they used to get the axe upon their former manager Zenga. They are still at the bottom but Palermo game showed this teams is worth a lot more than the results are showing. Milan had a stern Champions League test having played draw 1:1 against Marseille. Despite being the weaker side on the turf they were fortunate not to lose. They are still very close to going to the next stage all they need to do is to beat Zurich is the final round. As far as the Serie A is concerned, they beat Cagliari 4:3 and the press immediately heaped praise on the strikers. Still, they forgot to mention one thing, Milan won thanks to the refs and their defense again looked like a bunch of mummies. It may be funny to watch, but with a back line like this, Leonardo will not get far. Don’t get the wrong impression, this team didn’t have shred of luck this season. They held Napoli, Roma, Lazio to a home draw this season and all of these games saw them as the better rivals. They have six draw on their tally, but they are pretty inefficient and very good a conceding from a single opportunity. Hadn’t it been that way, hadn’t his team put up pretty fine displays, manager Atzori would’ve been long gone by now. Still, the board acknowledge his good work and they have a huge patience for this team and lady luck to smile no them finally. Second half in Palermo was very good and it brought them the equalizing goal. They were better organized on the field than their rivals, they showed a great deal of discipline and true fighting spirit and that is how they should behave against Milan. Delvecchio is still injured, he is the only regular member of the squad to be unavailable. They had a lot of problems with injuries, the situation is a bit stabilized and the things are slowly looking up. Ever since they got promoted, they held Milan twice for a raw and lost the last season’s game.  This can be a problem but Leonardo will pull Seedorfa bit back. Gatusso, who is threatening to leave, is injured. Brazilian manager will not be making any changes in the attack. He has found the winning model, Borrielo up front, Pato and Ronaldinho on the side. This is how he managed to get the best out of the two Brazilians and it is producing results for now. If we compare Milan with what we saw a month and a half ago, there is a huge difference. They won three out of last four away games, Napoli managed to slip through their fingers having scored two goals practically in injury time, but don’t forget that’s exactly how they beat Chievo. Anyhow, it won’t be easy for them, Catania are a hot outing, crowded Massimino will prepare a cold welcome. Roma captain, De Rossi didn’t describe it as the Wild West for nothing. Still, they need to win this duel, Juvetnus and Inter are meeting next week and this could be a good chance for Milan to get even closer to the top. Bookies have raised the odds on Milan a bit and there are probably expecting a surprise. We think there are bigger chances for Catania to stay unbeaten than for rossoneri to triumph. Catania can defend themselves, Milan will be tired from the Marseille fixture and with Pirlo out of the squad, ball distribution is noticeably lower and the strikers look cut out. Try double chance on Catania Results and goal’s highlights, will be available soon..
