CHIEVO VS AS ROMA
This is the 23rd round of action of the Italian Seria A League between the I Gialloblu and the I giallorossi at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi Arena. The host Chievo needed points to stay in Serie A and the 2-2 draw against Empoli showed the terrifying power of how determine they are to move up from the relegation zone. Chievo looks destined for Serie B, even though they drew with Empoli last weekend. Chievo have conceded 44 goals and with just one win and 12 defeats from their 22 Serie A matches so far this season, placing them at the bottom of the table with only nine points.
Meanwhile, Roma are also 1 point behind the Champions League team and are thirsty for victory today at Marc'Antonio Arena. After the first round of the Seria A season kick-start, AS Roma began to regain the image of a big team. But the most worrying thing is still the the injury plagued situations at the club. The betel team still has Under, Perotti and Jesus under treatment and those players partly makes Roma's play more of an entertaining football. For this clash, the visitors AS Roma is considered the heavy favorite to win tonight and in fact, this is a reasonably option for the bookies considering the fact that Chievo are yet to win a single game versus Roma in their last 10 previous meetings in all competitions. However, in those 10 games, they had also managed to draw 4 times in the process.

NAC VS AZ ALKMAAR
NAC will be Confronting AZ Alkmaar in the 21st round at the Rat Verlegh Stadion. The home team manager Mitchell van der Gaag understand that they will almost never have any chance against the guests at this time. The difference between the two clubs is too great, both in terms of player quality and rankings. Recent performances of the two teams are also completely different while, the NAC represents a weak face in the past, AZ Alkmaar is showing its progress. It will be a one-way match for the guests and if the host NAC does not improve its play soon, they will certainly continue to slide on the rankings and the "death door" will be more and more open for them. The host recent form is very bad, in which they have been unable to win their last 3 games and after the last 20 rounds, all they had was just 16 points and the last place in the Eredivisie.
On the other hand, their opponents in this round are relatively difficult, not to mention that they are also in very good form at the moment, Therefore, the opportunity for NAC to create surprise in this match is almost impossible. The team should focus on the upcoming matches with the direct competitors instead of hoping for the miraculous thing to happen in this encounter.

MAINZ VS BAYER LEVERKUSEN
The first duel in the 21st round of the Bundesliga will be held today when Mainz and Bayer Leverkusen face each other at the Opel Arena. It will surely be very difficult for the host Mainz to face Leverkusen at this time. The spirit is also very contrary, while Mainz just lost 3-0 to Augsburg in the previous round, Leverkusen had a convincing 3-1 victory over Bayern Munich. However, this is not to say that Leverkusen may be easy to play in this match because they have just undergone 90 minutes of physical torture taking place in the middle of the week in the German National Cup. So this promises to be a very stressful display of both teams and 3 points will probably be up for grab in their next matches.
