I wasn’t expecting Coronavirus postponements, but there were two: Verona v Cagliari and Torino v Parma, so we each get nil for these. I’m not tracking them and awarding points for the replays! So here are the latest scores:

No fewer than three got the bonus for Fiorentina 1-1 Milan and top scored with 4: Sporting; Antepli Ejderha and ursus arctos. This enabled Sporting to extend his lead to 7 over Kevin S, who sees Antepli Ejderha closing to 2 points behind. ursus arctos passed me.

Sporting: 4*** 62
Kevin S: 2 55
Antepli Ejderha: 4*** 53
ursus arctos: 4*** 50
Sits: 49
ad hoc: 1 40
steviecowden: d 2
Sam: d 1

[Sporting]

I don't mind keeping an eye out for the games when they are eventually played.

[Sits]

Go on then, it will be a surprise for everyone. Thanks Sporting.

I consciously tried to keep the selections away from the most northerly parts of Italy due to what I assumed was a higher cancellation risk. I learned today that a number of games will be played behind closed doors anyway. I wish I’d known* as Juve v Inter promises to be a cracker.

*checked

[Sporting]

I thought it wasn't being played at all so omitted it from a prediction competition I run on another board, I substituted it with a Swiss league game, clever me!

[Sits]

I go by LiveScore.com which may or may not be accurate.

[ursus arctos]

The matches in question have now been moved to May

[Sits]

So we have four survivors, according to LiveScore - just Sassuolo gone I think.

[ursus arctos]

Correct.

The first two matches are now over; the other two comprise Serie A's entire programme for Sunday

[Sits]

Latest scores, four matches out of five. Sporting’s lead over Kev trimmed to six and he leads Antep by two. A bold prediction by UA that Lecce would hold Atalanta enabled me to edge past him, and ad hoc has clearly abandoned the random number generator. God knows if we have games next weekend:

Sporting: 3 65
Kevin S: 4 59
Antepli Ejderha: 4 57
Sits: 4 53
ursus arctos: 2 52
ad hoc: 3 43
steviecowden: d 2
Sam: d 1
