Juventus and Roma defend their perfect record in the Italian league this weekend against Udinese and Reggina.
Juventus have scored eight goals in their two matches so far against Livorno and Cagliari, and their home match against out-of-form Udinese tomorrow will give them a chance to add to their tally.
Udinese have yet to win this season though the form of Italy international striker Antonio Di Natale, who scored twice in Wednesday's 2-1 Euro 2008 qualifying victory in Ukraine, will be a plus.
Juventus defender Jonathan Zebina will be sidelined following his four-match suspension for slapping a steward in the face.
Zebina was also fined 15,000 euros (US$21,000) over the incident which occurred after he had been sent off in the match against Cagliari.
Alessandro Birindelli is set to come in at right back in place of Zebina and Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri will probably field Domenico Criscito and Jorge Andrade in central defense due to French defender Jean-Alain Boumsong's muscular problem.
Udinese coach Pasquale Marino meanwhile is expected to have few options in midfield without Giampiero Pinzi, Dias Felipe, Christian Obodo and Raffaele De Martino.
Like Juventus, Luciano Spaletti's Roma have started the season well, beating Palermo and Sienna, to give them maximum points but, looking at the form book, the trip to Reggina could be tricky.
Reggina have done well at home to Rome in their last fixtures, with Roma only winning once in their last four clashes in Calabria.
Defender Christian Panucci is set to appear in the centre of defense with striker Francesco Totti supported by attacking midfielder Ludovic Giuly.
A win for Roma would not only keep up their 100 percent record in Italy but would set an optimistic note for their subsequent tough run of matches.
Revelations of positive doping tests for nearly two dozen Chinese swimmers that went unpunished sparked an intense flurry of accusations and legal threats between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the head of the US drug-fighting organization, who has long been one of WADA’s fiercest critics. WADA on Saturday said it was turning to legal counsel to address a statement released by US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart, who said WADA and anti-doping authorities in China swept positive tests “under the carpet by failing to fairly and evenly follow the global rules that apply to everyone else in the world.” The
Taiwanese judoka Yang Yung-wei on Saturday won silver in the men’s under-60kg category at the Asian Judo Championships in Hong Kong. Nicknamed the “judo heartthrob” in Taiwan, the Olympic silver-medalist missed out on his first Asian Championships gold when he lost to Japanese judoka Taiki Nakamura in the finals. Yang defeated three opponents on Saturday to reach the final after receiving a bye through the round of 32. He first topped Laotian Soukphaxay Sithisane in the round of 16 with two seoi nage (over-the-shoulder throws), then ousted Indian Vijay Kumar Yadav in the quarter-finals with his signature ude hishigi sankaku gatame (triangular armlock). He
RALLY: It was only the second time the Taiwanese has partnered with Kudermetova, and the match seemed tight until they won seven points in a row to take the last set 10-2 Taiwan’s Chan Hao-ching and Russia’s Veronika Kudermetova on Sunday won the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix women’s doubles final in Stuttgart, Germany. The pair defeated Norway’s Ulrikke Eikeri and Estonia’s Ingrid Neel 4-6, 6-3, 10-2 in a tightly contested match at the WTA 500 tournament. Chan and Kudermetova fell 4-6 in the first set after having their serve broken three times, although they played increasingly well. They fought back in the second set and managed to break their opponents’ serve in the eighth game to triumph 6-3. In the tiebreaker, Chan and Kudermetova took a 3-0 lead before their opponents clawed back two points, but
Taiwanese gymnast Lee Chih-kai failed to secure an Olympic berth in the pommel horse following a second-place finish at the last qualifier in Doha on Friday, a performance that Lee and his coach called “unconvincing.” The Tokyo Olympics silver medalist finished runner-up in the final after scoring 6.6 for degree of difficulty and 8.800 for execution for a combined score of 15.400. That was just 0.100 short of Jordan’s Ahmad Abu Al Soud, who had qualified for the event in Paris before the Apparatus World Cup series in Qatar’s capital. After missing the final rounds in the first two of four qualifier
