Preview/Prediction

August 25, 2008


Another season in the Italian Top Flight is about to get underway with the Special One stepping into the Serie A.

Jose Mourinho replaced Roberto Mancini despite the latter winning the league and has added the likes of Sulley Muntari and Amatino Mancini to his squad. Can you see Mourinho working his magic with Inter, the way he did with Chelsea?

Carlo Ancelotti has added to an already strong team with the likes of Ronaldinho and Andriy Shevchenko who join Alexandre Pato, Kaka, and Andrea Pirlo at the club.

AC Milan aren't even in contention for Europe; do you think they will be firing on all cylinders in the Serie A?

Luciano Spalleti has added to his squad with Julio Baptista and John Arne Riise. Roma are top contenders to overpower the two Milan giants to glory. Their side includes the skills of Francesso Totti and Daniel De Rossi.

Juventus are looking to show Inter Milan that they can return to top form. Can Claudio Ranieri's men overpower The Special One?

Who do you think will reign supreme in the Italian League this season? AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma, Juventus, Lazio, Fiorentina? Have your say...

    Inter Milan. Mourinho's work certainly showed in the Super Cup against Roma. They have to get their back-line in shape before the season starts. Muntari is the most effective addition for Mourinho's squad. Mancini doesn't necessarily top my list.

    AS Roma will be not be a contender, will most likely falter in the league and prosper in the league cup...like they always do. Francesco Totti's health is vital for Roma. If he stays healthy, I think they might contend for a second spot with AC Milan.

    AC Milan's got Ronaldinho, but don't have kaka. It's questionable how Dinho will perform in the Serie A, it might take some time to get the team going by himself, plus the added task of adapting in Italy.

    Thanks for the article Salaar.

    Inter probably, but I want Roma 2 win it, but it'll be really hard for them.
