I assume Pirlo will not start after playing 90 mins today. We have Fiorentina just 3 days after then Samp away so there is going to have to be some rotation

Torino are doing well this season.. whoever takes the pitch depends on the condition of the ill players come Sunday afternoon... Marchisio is suspended anyway... Sturaro, Pereyra and Padoin will surely start to rest some players...

My preference:

Buffon
Barzagli Bonucci Ogbonna
Steiner Sturaro/Vidal Pirlo Pereyra Padoin
Llorente Coman


The entire first team - bar maybe one or two - should be rested vs Samp btw. Play them against Fiorentina.

Can't believe how hard Roma have fallen... dropping out of the Top 3 (CL places) is now quiet possible... Anyway, if Lazio lose today and we beat Torino, we will officially be crowned champions of Serie A!

Roma will qualify for the CL, whether it's automatically or through the playoffs is the question.

They haven't won a game in ages and are still top 3.

Only if Napoli get their act together which isn't really likely either. I'm sure they'll focus on the EL semi-final/possible final.

They went on a retreat before the first Wolfsburg and have played well since then though. Their biggest obstacle is their tough schedule. But Roma are so bad now, you never know. They should continue to drop points. It's a decent possibility for Napoli IMO. If they can keep their post-retreat form up and win a couple of the big fixtures, then they're in.

Roma have been taking big financial risks. Their top management have been pumping money in year after year. They've spent more than what they can according to FFP (not really in trouble, Inter did worse). They've been operating on a high-risk basis in an attempt to get to the top (challenge for the scudetto and make it out of CL group stages) as fast as possible (Not exactly a horrible strategy because they couldn't let the gap between Juve and Roma grow, and the size of the Roma fanbase is much lower, hence less source of income. That's why they went the aggressive route.). They're banking on CL participation next season. Missing out on the CL would be huge for them. They'd have to scale back, and that'd set them back an additional two years probably.

So, Forza Napoli!

Just so casual in defence, awful defending by Bonucci.

These guys are on autopilot.
