Keeping with the podcast's Australian connection, this week Nicky and Mina are joined by Melbourne-based Digital Journalist for Stats Perform, Sacha Pisani (@Sachk0 (https://twitter.com/Sachk0) ), to discuss the latest happenings in the land of calcio. Sacha recently wrote an interesting article about the growing popularity of brand Venezia: From bankruptcy to global fashion icon – the rise of Italy's renaissance team Venezia (https://english.stadiumastro.com/football/bankruptcy-global-fashion-icon-rise-italys-renaissance-team-venezia-203005) .
Other topics in focus this week:
Milan fall at home to Sassuolo, who love beating them, with a cracking strike from Gianluca Scamacca. Is he Italy's new hope? Are the wheels falling off the Milan bus coming into Christmas, just as they did around the same time last season?
Does Sacha think Milan can win the league, or will it be Napoli, or Inter?
As well as the progress of the Italian teams in the Champions League, with a chance that all 4 of Juventus, Atalanta, Inter and Milan (albeit only a slight chance for the rossoneri) could make it through the group stage to the next round.
Italy's World Cup Qualification play-off draw against North Macedonia and a potential collision-course with Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal.
And don't miss our teaser about a Serie A player set to join us on the podcast next week!
