🔍 This evening’s game in Rotterdam could be a huge turning point in Napoli’s season, risking of not making it through to the last 16 at the expense of Shakhtar. A Just a few days after the disappointing loss to Juventus in the league, costing them first spot, they have to go to the Netherlands and make sure that they get all 3 points against the Dutch who haven’t even picked up a single point. However, in order to clinch a spot in next Monday’s UCL draw, they have to pray that Man City do their job and beat Shakhtar away, as finishing level on points with the Ukrainians would see the Italians true on the direct encounter’s aggregate favouring the ‘Partanopei’.

🔍 A truly interesting match-up between two of the most on-form teams in Europe at the moment, Bayern vs PSG will be the hottest match of the night. Despite having absolutely no effect on who will make the knockout stages, as both these teams are already qualified, it is still a huge test for both teams. Bayern have to really show the world that they are a whole new team under coach Heynckes, different from the side that was beaten 3-0 in Paris. PSG have to confirm their abilities against the most elite, to keep their place as one of the favourites to win the whole competition. Interestingly, despite being on such good form in the past weeks, both teams have to bounce back from recent losses to Monchengladbach and Strasbourg respectively.

🔍 In this last game in the UCL group-stage, Juventus will face Olympiakos in Athens, and will be looking to earn all 3 points to ascertain themselves with a 2nd place finish in Group D, and therefore advancing to the knockout phase as group runners-up after FC Barcelona. Any other result could still see them make it through, how their faith would be in Sporting’s hands as if the Portuguese win at the Camp Nou, while Juve fail to win, they will beat Juve to a place in the last 16. Juventus were victorious in the last encounter between these two teams in the Allianz Stadium, however the Greek at home tend to be much more difficult to break, as proved by their 0-0 home draw to Barcelona in Matchday 4.

Sampdoria vs SS Lazio

Full Time Review:
SCORE: 1 – 2
SCORERS: D. Zapata 56’ (SAM) , S. Milinkovic-Savic 80’ (LAZ),
F. Caicedo 91’ (LAZ)
INFO: Referee: P. Mazzoleni/ Venue: Stadio Luigi Ferraris
Possession: 45% - 55% / Shots (On Target): 15 (3) - 14
(3) / Fouls: 10 – 10
🔍 An absolutely action-packed game, as could be anticipated in a match between two teams who just can’t stop scoring in this season’s Serie A. After a goal-less first half, despite a considerable amount of chances on both sides, the second half continued in the same fashion of fast counter-attacking play, and in the 56th minute we finally saw the first goal of the game, when Quagliarella headed the ball down in the path of D. Zapata who put the ball in the left corner of Strakosha’s goal. Following this, Lazio tried to apply even more pressure to try and force an equalizer, which came late in the 80th minute, when Milinkovic-Savic arrowed the ball into the top-corner after a scuffle in the Sampdoria box. Maybe undeserving, due to the game being so balanced, Lazio found the match-winner in the 91st minute, after another mix-up in the box, and Caicedo putting the ball in the back of the net, to break Samporia’s home unbeaten run.

Benevento vs AC Milan

MATCH DETAILS
SCORE: 2 – 2
SCORERS: G. Bonaventura 38’ (MIL) , G. Puscas 50’ (BEN),
N. Kalinic 57’ (MIL), A. Brignoli 95’ (BEN)
INFO: Referee: M. Mariani/ Venue: Stadio Ciro Vigorito /
Possession: 47% - 53% / Shots (On Target): 17 (6) - 12
(7) / Yellow Cards: 3 – 5 / Red Cards: 0 – 1

🔍 G.Gattuso couldn’t ask for a better match to begin his Ac Milan adventure, than a game against the newly-promoted Benevento who until this match weren’t even able to collect a single point. But what a match it was, and what an incredible ending. In the 38th minute, Milan were able to break the deadlock thanks to a rebound goal by G.Bonaventura. Despite being, on paper, a supposed walkover for Gattuso’s side, now that they were in front, Benevento didn’t give up, and were awarded with a rebound goal themselves, taken by G. Puscas. A few minutes later, an easy header from N. Kalinic, an attacker who had been struggling in the last matches, put Milan back in front. However, it all came down to the last minute, when Benevento were given a freekick outside the box, with Benevento’s goalkeeper encouraged to go and try his chances in the box. Without knowing too much about it, Brignoli launched to head the ball, which ended up in the right-bottom corner of Donnarumma’s goal. Benevento fans celebrated such a hard-earned first point as if they had won the whole match, if not more.

🔍Moyes' 4th game in charge of an injury-battered, off-form
West Ham went better than expected, despite still leaving the
Etihad empty-handed. They opened the scoring right before
half-time, thanks to the Italian A.Ogbonna, but goals from
Otamendi and Silva at the beginning and end of the second
half, kept city unbeaten and cruising at the top of the PL
table, enjoying an 8 point lead over local rivals Man United,
who they face next week at Old Trafford.

Half Time Review:

SCORE: 0 - 0
INFO: Possession: 45% - 55% / Shots (On Target): 9 (2) - 7 (1)
/ Fouls: 6 – 4

🔍 An action-packed first half, as could be anticipated in a match between two high-scoring teams. Such an open game of football, and watching it one would feel robbed from one goal or two, with a considerable amount of big attempts which were unfortunately missed or saved from both sides. If you’re in your bed and just don’t feel like sleeping, waking up and switching on the tv could be worth the effort :p
