This week's Serie A saturday sees AS Livorno receive AC Milan at Livorno's Stadio Armando Picchi (saturday, 6:00 p.m.). The "rossoneri" team of brasilian coach Leonardo will certainly want to make their fans forget about the derby desaster against Inter (0-4), and to do so they need an excellent game, and possibly a victory, against Livorno. The team from Tuscany have made a home draw against Cagliari in the first match and have lost the second game against Napoli (1-3), but in the second half they played a very good game in Naple's San Paolo stadium. Livorno coach Russo will therefore trust again in the forward couple Tavano - Lucarelli. We will still not see their new brasilian star Mozart who still has to do some training units with his team mates in order to be better integrated in the team.

As far as AC Milan is concerned, we will see dutch player Huntelaar from the first minute on, side by side with the brasilian stars Ronaldinho and Pato. The unfortunate georgian player Kaladze, who scored two goals in last week's Georgia - Italy, but against his own team, will also play again.
The rossoneri will try to compensate the heavy punch of last week's derby, and they really can't allow themselves another defeat, as the peace with their tifosi is very fragile, many of them have not yet forgotten their anger about the fact of losing Kaká to Real Madrid. For sure another humiliation will not be the right way to consolate them...

AS Livorno - AC Milan
Stadio Armando Picchi, Livorno
Saturday 12th of september 2009 
start: 6:00 p.m.

This will be a crucial, but not easy game for AC Milan, Livorno has its qualities, but still in my opinion the rossoneri will manage to win despite of their own problems. My tip is therefore 2, away victory for Milan, the best odd is on Expekt.com with 1,85
