GOtv To Broadcast Live Serie A Week 27 Matches

The Italian Serie A enters its 27^th week this weekend with a series of top matches scheduled for live broadcast exclusively to GOtv MAX subscribers. Leaders and defending champions, Juventus, host Udinese at the Allianz Stadium, on Friday in a match to be aired 8.30pm on SuperSport Select 5 (channel 36).

Juventus continued their seemingly unstoppable stride towards an eighth consecutive Serie A title after defeating Napoli last week to create a 16-point advantage. Although they still have a game in hand, Udinese, who are placed 15th have a measly 25 points from 25 matches.

Despite losing ground in the championship race, Napoli will want to pick up their 18th win of the season when they travel to Sassuolo. Carlo Ancelotti’s Partenopei have suffered a dip in form, with just two wins and three draws in their last six games. They will, however, hope that star striker, Arkadiusz Milik, will rediscover his goal scoring form.

Sassuolo, on the other hand, have performed creditably, rattling a few big teams, and are 11^th on the log. But they are also in rut, having won only one in their last six games. The match will hold on Sunday and scheduled for broadcast at 6:30 pm on SuperSport Select 5.

Sleeping giants, AC Milan, have a chance to continue their recovery, which has delivered five victories in their last seven games, when they play away to Chievo Verona at the Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi.

While they may have recovered from their indifferent early-season slump, they are not yet in a comfortable position, as they have many teams chasing Italy’s final UEFA Champions League automatic spot. Chievo, who are bottom of the league, will have the unenviable task of stopping Milan’s in-form Krzysztof Piątek in front of goal. The home team, with 10 points from 26 games, have lost five of their last seven games. The match, which holds on Saturday, will be aired live at 8:30 pm on SuperSport Select 5.

The 80,010-capacity Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, better known as San Siro, will host the encounter Inter Milan and SPAL. Inter manager, Luciano Spalletti, will hope that his squabble-riven team can return to winning ways after losing three of their last six games. SPAL, with just 23 points from 26 games, lie 16th on the table. The Biancazzurri have only won one in their last six games and have a leaky defence, as evidenced by the 39 goals so far conceded. The match is live on SuperSport Select 5 at 3pm on Sunday.

Saturday’s other game involves 13th-placed Parma, who host 12th-placed Genoa. The game goes live at 6 pm on SuperSport Select 5.

Games to be broadcast on Sunday are Bologna vs Cagliari, showing at 12:30 pm and Fiorentina vs Lazio at 8:30 pm. Both matches will air live on SuperSport Select 5 (Channel 36).

Week 27 matches will be rounded off on Monday when Roma take on Empoli at 8:30 pm on SuperSport Select 5.
