The Seria A match between Napoli and Juventus will be held at the San Paolo on 4th March at 1 am IST. So here’s how you can watch the match live!
Juventus are on the verge of creating Seria A history. If they manage to win at the Stadio San Paolo they will go 16 points clear at the top of the Seria A table. It will be the biggest lead any Serie A team have ever held. Juventus will hope to build their momentum before taking on Udinese on Friday, and after that lies their biggest test of this season till now. They will play Atletico Madrid after that week on Tuesday in the Champions League, and try to turn around the 2-0 first-leg deficit. When Napoli travelled to Turin, they lost 3-1, something which the Neapolitans will be looking to avoid at home again.
When and at what time is the Seria A between Napoli and Juventus ? The match will be played on 4th March, Monday, and it will start at 1 am Indian time. It will be played at Napoli’s homeground San Paolo.
Where and how to watch the live TV coverage of the match between Napoli and Juventus? Which TV channel will have the match live? The Seria A match between Napoli and Juventus will be aired on TV in India, live on the Sony Pictures Network. Online users can follow the action live on the SonyLiv app. In other countries, the match will be aired live Rai Italia America and can also be watched online on-demand with fuboTV (7-day free trial). New users can sign up for a free seven-day trial of the live sports streaming service, which can be accessed via iOS, Android, Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, Roku and Apple TV as well as on a web browser.
What will be the likely lineups for the Napoli and Juventus match? Napoli: Meret; Malcuit, Maksimovic, Koulibaly, Hysaj; Callejon, Ruiz, Allan, Zielinski; Milik, Insigne. Juventus: Szczesny; De Sciglio, Chiellini, Bonucci, Alex Sandro; Matuidi, Pjanic, Can; Costa, Dybala, Ronaldo.
Juventus’ quest for an unbeaten Serie A season comes up against one of its biggest challenges this weekend, with Massimiliano Allegri’s side traveling to second-placed Napoli. In the 33 games between these two teams since 2006, Napoli have won 12 times, drawn five times and lost 16 times against Juventus, showing that this will be a close game between the two best teams in Italy.
Juventus are currently experiencing a period of inconsistent form, with a loss to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League currently hanging over their heads, an early Coppa Italia exit to Atalanta, and a 3-3 draw at home against Parma all fresh in the memory. Allegri knows that poor form against Napoli is unacceptable and that the team must bounce back with a victory against Italy’s second best team. Napoli, on the other hand, have been more consistent and clinical since their Coppa Italia exit to Milan at the end of January, with wins over Parma, Zürich and Sampdoria all helping to keep the team on form. Milik’s strong form has also been a bright spot for the Neapolitans.
Here’s how they fared in their last five games.
Napoli
Juventus
Parma 0-4 Napoli (24/2)
Bologna 0-1 Juventus (24/2)
Napoli 2-0 Zürich (21/2)
Atlètico 2-0 Juventus (20/2)
Napoli 0-0 Torino (17/2)
Juventus 3-0 Frosinone (15/2)
Zürich 1-3 Napoli (14/2)
Sassuolo 0-3 Juventus (10/2)
Fiorentina 0-0 Napoli (9/2)
Juventus 3-3 Parma (2/2)
Genuine excitement, though, has been at a premium and it is that fans wish to see the Old Lady throw down a marker in Napoli. With rumours circulating that Zinedine Zidane could be set for a sensational summer return, there is little wonder the coach is feeling the heat, and he would like to have a convincing win at the San Paolo. On theother hand, Napoli know the importance of this game, and how their title hopes rest on a victory here. Ancelotti is no stranger to big games, but reducing a 13 point gap to ten is going to be a challenge against such a dominant Juventus side, especially one that is mostly fit.

MS Dhoni 59 0f 72 balls and Kedar Jadhav 81 0f 87 balls put on an unbeaten 141-run partnership to help India chase down the target in 48.2 overs

MS Dhoni’s innings of 59 runs consists of 6 fours and a six. Kedar Jadav hit 9 fours and a six.
Australia won the toss and opted to bat and posted a below-par 236/7. Indian bowlers were superb in the 1st innings.
Virat Kohli started well but was out leg before. Kohli scored 44 runs of 45 balls. He played some marvelous shorts.
Mohammed Shami was the only bowler to bowl two maiden overs. Shami only conceded 6 runs in his first four overs. In the middle overs he took the crucial wickets of debutant Aston and inform Glenn maxwell. He completed his quota of 10 overs with an economy of 4.4. His bowling figures would have been a bit better if Shankar and Bumrah would have not misfielded.
Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah picked up a couple of wickets each. Kuldeep has once again proved why Kohli prefers wrist spinners.
Third time in the last six months India have successfully chased down a 150+ target without any one from top three scoring 50-plus. 223 vs Ban, Dubai 231 vs Aus, MCG 237 vs Aus, Hyderabad.
Mohammed Shami: We have worked hard as a team. And we are getting the results. Hopefully, we will perform well in the future too. I have been through lot of ups and down in my life. Cricket has made my life and I want to give my best for my team.
Next match is on 5th march at Nagpur. India leads the series 1-0.
The LaLiga match between Real Madrid and Barcelona will be held at the Santiago Bernabeu on 3rd March at 1:15 am IST. So here’s how you can watch the match live!
Just after 3 days, Barcelona dumped Real Madrid 3-0 in the Bernabeu and advanced into the Copa del Rey final on 4-1 aggregate, the two teams meet again at the Bernabeu, but this time it’s a LaLiga match. This one is a chance for Real Madrid to get back into the title race and for Barcelona to possibly knock them out of it. Barcelona enters the weekend in first with a record of 17-6-2 and 57 points, while Real is third at 15-3-7 and 48 points.
When and at what time is the LaLiga match Real Madrid vs Barcelona? The El Clasico will be played on 3rd March, Sunday, and it will start at 01:15 am India time. It will be played at Real Madrid’s home ground Santiago Bernabeu.
Where and how to watch the live TV coverage of Real Madrid vs Barcelona? Which TV channel will have the match live? The LaLiga El Clasico match between Real Madrid and Barcelona will be aired on TV in India, live on the Sony Pictures Network. Online users can follow the action live on the SonyLiv app. In other countries, the match will be aired live on beIN Sports and can also be watched online on-demand with fuboTV (7-day free trial). New users can sign up for a free seven-day trial of the live sports streaming service, which can be accessed via iOS, Android, Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, Roku and Apple TV as well as on a web browser. The match will also be broadcasted live on Facebook by the LaLiga official page.
What will be the likely lineups for the Real Madrid vs Barcelona match? Real Madrid: Courtois; Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Reguilon; Modric, Casemiro, Kroos; Vasquez, Benzema, Vinicius Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Semedo, Pique, Lenglet, Alba; Rakitic, Busquets, Arthur; Messi, Suarez, Dembele
Barcelona’s 3-0 victory in the Copa del Rey semi-final 2nd leg match could be a bit misleading especially since Real Madrid were the better side and had better goal-scoring opportunities in the game. The 18-year-old Brazilian forward, Vinicius Junior should have scored a first-half hat-trick but was denied by a combination of bad finishing and excellent goalkeeping from Marc-Andre ter Stegan. Barcelona didn’t have a single shot on target in the first half. But Real Madrid were brushed aside by a professional Barcelona side. Luis Suarez bagged a brace and Raphael Varane scored an own goal as they managed to score three in the second half to progress with a 4-1 aggregate.
So this time, Real Madrid especially Vinicius Junior will be looking to made amends and win this match. He has just got his first call-up to the Brazilian national team and has been in dazzling form this season. He has given Barcelona many problems in their last two matches and will look to get his goal in this match.
Isco is also back in the Real Madrid squad for Saturday’s El Clasico clash with Barcelona after almost a month on the sidelines with back and neck pain. He has not been named in a matchday squad by Real Madrid since the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final with Barca on February 6, a 1-1 draw in which he was an unused substitute. The 26-year-old has still not started a league game since Santiago Solari was promoted to become the replacement for Julen Lopetegui, who coached Isco while in charge of Spain. But Isco could be selected for Saturday’s meeting at the Santiago Bernabeu as Madrid seek to narrow the gap on LaLiga rivals Barca and make amends for their Copa exit.
Meanwhile, Barcelona’s head coach Valverde has demanded an improvement in Barcelona’s performance and denied a victory would give his side a decisive lead in the title race. Meanwhile, his counterpart Solari faces a tough time. A shock home defeat to Girona left them nine points behind LaLiga leaders Barcelona last month, meaning anything but a win in Saturday’s Clasico will all but end their title challenge. It all means the pressure is mounting on Solari, who signed a two-and-a-half-year contract only last November in the wake of Julen Lopetegui’s dismissal. The Copa del Rey El Clasico defeat to Barcelona and another loss against their great rivals this weekend could be potentially fatal to his tenure.
What Real Madrid really need is a squad overhaul! And with that, they also need a man in charge who can bring the best out of a talented crop yet to hit full potential. They need someone to bring the best out of the likes of Marco Asensio, Dani Ceballos and Federico Valverde. The successes of Reguilon and Llorente were almost borne out of necessity. The sensible option to do that would undoubtedly be Mauricio Pochettino. He could also be the man to massage the bruised egos of Marcelo, Gareth Bale and Isco, who face futures quite as uncertain as Solari at Madrid.

There’s also a secondary 5 MP depth sensor with f/2.4 aperture that helps you to capture bokeh shots with various studio lighting effects. Xiaomi also declared that its improved AI photography, especially for India, will help to capture superior photos.
Xiaomi has also implemented Steady Hand-held Night photography with its own AI algorithms that further enhances the night photography.
Due to the intelligent enough Snapdragon 675 that has Qualcomm Spectra™ 250L image signal processor within it, you get enhanced photography. The 2x Image Signal Processor (ISP), 14-bit will help you a lot in getting higher resolution photos.
For video capturing you get up to 4K video capture @ 30 FPS and up to 1080p video capture @120 FPS with EIS support.
13MP AI Camera
The Redmi Note 7 Pro will surely not disappoint you in front cameras as well, it packs in a 13 MP AI front camera. So, with this camera you will be able to take beautiful selfies as well.
Though there’s no dual front camera this time Xiaomi says its AI capabilities will help get smooth selfies with bokeh effect.
Battery & OS
Like all other Redmi Note series, the Redmi Note 7 Pro has a big 4000 mAh battery. This time there’s also a Type-C port with 18 Watt Quick Charge 4 support.
The Redmi Note 7 Pro runs on the latest Android 9.0 Pie and has the MIUI 10 OS on top of it.
Quality Assurance
Xiaomi has this time stressed on the quality of Redmi Note 7 by implementing Gorilla Glass 5 protection for both front and back. Also, they have assured with falls or any damage the smartphone will able to withstand it.
The Redmi Note 7 can even break nuts with itself even without getting any scratches. Xiaomi has made the Note 7 series splash proof, which means, your Note 7 or Note 7 Pro can withstand any kind of water splash or sweat easily as its ports have sealed.
Price & Availability
Now the thing that surprised everyone out there is the pricing of this device. When you compare the Redmi Note 7 Pro’s specs including the Snapdragon 675 which when used in devices like Vivo V15 Pro, has been priced at about Rs.30k.
On the other hand, the Sony IMX 586 image sensor used in Honor View 20 makes the device price at Rs.35k+. So, combining both of the powerful specs, we could easily guess the price to be somewhere around Rs.20k.
But, this is not the case, the Redmi Note 7 Pro’s base variant with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage has been priced at just Rs.13,999 only, whereas 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage variant is priced at Rs.16,999.
This aggressive pricing of the device is just phenomenal, and the specs that are being offered is truly incredible. Well, the Redmi Note 7 Pro is a true successor to Xiaomi’s historic Note series.
Redmi Note 7 Pro’s first sale will be conducted on 13th of March at Flipkart, Mi.com and will also be available at Mi stores. Manu Kumar Jain even promised to deliver the Note 7 series to customers via retail partners asap.
Airtel has also partnered with Xiaomi to provide extra data for its customers who will be buying the Note 7 series as well as attracted lot of customers as well.
Verdict
So, overall this smartphone is a worthy successor to the Redmi Note 6 Pro even much more superior. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 is a costly chip for mid-range series and I am amazed to see Xiaomi using it in Note 7 Pro and that too keeping a price of a budget smartphone.
Well, everything seems promising along with the costly yet effective Sony’s IMX 586 image sensor. Using a “true 48MP sensor” in a budget smartphone require lot of guts, which Xiaomi or rather the separated Redmi brand has proved this time.
Xiaomi India was losing its value among people for various aggressive products from Realme, Honor, Samsung’s M series as well as ASUS’s Zenfone Max series. To prove its superiority and maintain its tag line of “Best Specs, Highest Quality, Honest Pricing”.
The Note 7 series will surely turn out to be the game changer for Xiaomi and retain its number 1 position in the Indian smartphone market which they have been since last six quarters. What do you think? Tell us in the comments down below… 🙂
