ROME - Juventus aims to bounce back from a loss to Napoli in the Italian Super Cup when it hosts Inter Milan on Tuesday as Serie A resumes with a full slate of matches after a holiday break.Juventus holds a three-point lead over Roma and has lost only once in the Italian league — to Genoa in October — but struggled at times in a shootout loss to Napoli in Doha, Qatar, on Dec. 23.The squad is energized again after the vacation, which we needed after five months at high intensity, Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said Monday. Its going to be a difficult match with Inter as its the first one of the year and that makes it dangerous. Just look at what happened yesterday to Real Madrid with Valencia.In other matches, Roma visits mid-table Udinese, Napoli looks to build on the Juve win at struggling Cesena, and AC Milan hosts Sassuolo.___DERBY DITALIA: When Juventus and Inter play, its called the derby dItalia — Italys derby — as its a matchup between two of the clubs with the most fans in the country.This season, its also a matchup between two of the leagues leading scorers: Carlos Tevez tops the scoring chart with 10 goals for Juventus, while Mauro Icardi is tied for second on the list with eight for Inter.Inter is the only big Italian club that Tevez has not scored against since joining Juve last season. Fellow Argentine Icardi scored twice against Juve in a 2-1 win while with Sampdoria two years ago in the first match after the winter break.Inter has made progress recently and rediscovered its confidence. The team that pays more attention and is more focused will win, Allegri said. Its not a physical or technical matter, its a mental thing.___SCORING HELP: With Inter in 11th place, 18 points behind Juventus, new coach Roberto Mancini has been looking for a striker to share goal scoring duties with Icardi and he may have found his man in Lukas Podolski.The 29-year-old forward has already joined Inter while finalizing a transfer from Arsenal. Having scored 47 goals in 121 appearances for Germany, he has the pedigree to satisfy Mancini.We needed two wingers and Podolski is one of them, Mancini said Monday. He has a lot of experience and I hope he can give us a big hand.Inter is also reportedly interested in signing Ezequiel Lavezzi from Paris Saint-Germain or Xherdan Shaqiri from Bayern Munich. Mancini indicated, however, that it would be difficult to sign either player.___JUVES NEEDS: Wesley Sneijder helped Inter win a treble of titles under Jose Mourinho in 2010 and is now being courted by Juventus.Its no secret that were looking for a playmaker and a defender, Allegri said. Sneijder has great technical qualities. He would help complete an area of midfield that is already very strong and that would create competition.Sneijder currently plays for Galatasaray, already eliminated from the Champions League.Juve is also looking for help in defence. Center back Andrea Barzagli has missed the entire season thus far following right foot surgery in July. The Italy international is slated to miss at least another month.___438 GOALS: Francesco Totti and Antonio Di Natale have scored a total of 438 goals between them in Serie A and will go head-to-head Tuesday in an attractive matchup of the leagues two top active scorers.The 38-year-old Totti is second all-time with 237 goals in 571 appearances and the 37-year-old Di Natale is seventh on the list with 201 in 404 matches.Silvio Piola, who won the 1938 World Cup with Italy, has the record of 274 goals.Were fighting for the title and the difference with last year is that we have to win something, said Roma coach Rudi Garcia.___Andrew Dampf can be followed at www.twitter.com/asdampf Discount Air Max 270 .

Cheap Air Max 270 Shoes .Y. - Major League Soccers independent review panel has taken back the fine and one-game suspension it placed on Toronto FC forward Luke Moore earlier this week.With injuries, lineup changes and other roster moves affecting playing time, it is important to keep your fantasy lineup up-to-date. Here are some under-the-radar players to take a look at to fill in the final spots on your team, as well as some who no longer warrant ownership. Also, a quick look at some players who had notable weeks, both good and bad. Take a look at… D.J. Augustin (PG - Det) – 39.7% owned: This is a man who has a knack of filling in when his team’s starting point guard goes down with injury. Augustin scored a career-high 35 points in Sunday’s loss to the Raptors to go along with eight assists. He won’t put up those kind of numbers each game, but his tenure as the Pistons new starting point guard got off to the right start. Augustin also takes care of the basketball, and a low turnover rate is always a positive for guards. If he’s still available, snatch him up. Brian Roberts (PG/SG - Cha) – 4.5% owned: With news that Kemba Walker could miss up to six weeks after choosing to undergo knee surgery, Roberts suddenly becomes the man running the offence for Charlotte. In Saturday’s start against the Knicks, Roberts posted respectable numbers across the board in 33 minutes. He won’t distribute the ball the way Walker did, and it remains to be seen what kind of role Steve Clifford will give to Roberts in terms of scoring the basketball, but those in need of an injury fill-in at point guard should look at picking up Roberts. Timofey Mozgov (C - Cle) – 37.3% owned: A trade to Cleveland looks to be exactly what Mozgov needed to return to Fantasy relevance. A droppable centre in Denver, Mozgov is averaging close to a double-double with the Cavaliers (9.8 points, 9.0 rebounds per game). He won’t provide much scoring and will put up some duds as he remains the fifth option of offence, but won’t hurt owners in shooting percentages when he actually gets the ball. Mozgov has also been able to rediscover his ability to block shots, which is always a bonus. Langston Galloway (PG/SG - NYK) – 17.8% owned: Kudos to Galloway for making the most of his two 10-day contracts with the Knicks. Since being signed, Galloway became an immediate part of the rotation and has started the last four games, scoring in double digits in each contest. As a starter, Galloway is averaging 14.5 points on 47.9% shooting, 6.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game, so he is more of a scorer than a traditional point guard. If the Knicks have any bright spots this season, it could be Galloway, at least for now. Maybe say goodbye to… Reggie Jackson (PG/SG - OKC) – 52.5% owned: With the Thunder now healthy and rolling, combined with the acquisition of Dion Waiters, Jackson’s role as a go-to scorer off of the bench has been diminished. In his last five games, Jackson has scored in double digits only twice and went scoreless on Wedneesday.dddddddddddd There are better, more consistent options available on the wire who can provide more than what Jackson does, as his bad days are starting to outweigh the good. Unless he gets moved at the trade deadline, Jackson’s value in Fantasy remains spotty. Kelly Olynyk (PF/C - Bos) – 17.3% owned: Olynyk has missed the last three games with a right ankle sprain and an MRI revealed that he will be out for at least two weeks. He had carved himself a nice role coming off the bench for the Celtics and showed signs of a rebound after struggling earlier in the month. However, Olynyk is not worth stashing on a roster while he is out with injury. If he is someone who you covet once he comes back, keep an eye on his healing progress and pick him up closer to his return date. Otherwise, find someone else to fill the void for now. Josh Smith (SF/PF - Hou) – 70.7% owned: In shallower leagues, owners can probably afford to drop Smith. His initial struggles in Houston, along with his disastrous time with the Pistons, have likely scared off owners from touching Smith and they wouldn’t be blamed for that. It is not uncommon for Smith to put up some duds after a few nice games, which can be frustrating for those still hoping he can put it together. His numbers across the board have fallen since the move to the Rockets, and he has been there long enough for owners to be able to properly evaluate him. Tony Wroten (PG/SG – Phi) – 20.2% owned: He has missed Philadelphia’s last eight games with a torn ACL that will require surgery. Although the team has yet to announce anything, Wroten will miss the rest of the season. Even in a keeper league, Wroten is not worth stashing and should no longer be owned. He was a great find this season for owners and the 76ers, averaging 16.9 points, 5.2 assists and 1.6 steals in 30 games. The week that was: Hot: Brandon Jennings (Det) dished out a career-high 21 assists on Wednesday, continuing his strong play for the Pistons. Unfortunately, he tore his Achilles and will miss the rest of the year. Klay Thompson (GSW) scored an NBA-record 37 points in the third quarter and finished the game with a career-high 52. During his record-setting frame, Thompson went 13-of-13 from the field, including nine three-pointers. Coming off of the bench didn’t stop Hassan Whiteside (Mia) from posting a triple-double, setting the Miami Heat record of 12 blocks in a game. Not: Making his third start in as many games, Dante Exum (Uta) went scoreless in 25 minutes. The fifth overall pick has struggled in his rookie campaign. DeMar DeRozan (Tor) had a rough week, scoring only 14 points in three games before bouncing back nicely against Detroit. Rajon Rondo (Dal) didn’t do much on the boxscore. Before Sunday’s game, Rondo only handed out eight assists over three games. ' ' '
