Serie A – Roma-Lazio: derby della capitale tra rivalsa e...
Roma, 02 gennaio 2025 – Ultima di andata in Serie A ma prima giornata del 2025 in un turno che presenta solo sette partite perché Inter, Atalanta, Juventus e Milan sono impegnate in Supercoppa. Gli occhi di tutti saranno domenica sera quando, nel posticipo, andrà in scena il derby della Capitale: Roma-Lazio. Una stracittadina con due squadre agli antipodi in questa prima metà di stagione: i giallorossi, indietro di 15 punti rispetto ai cugini, provano a risalire la china dopo un inizio choc; i ragazzi di Baroni sognano di agganciare la qualificazione alla prossima Champions League. Ma, si sa, il derby sfugge a ogni pronostico e così, secondo gli esperti Sisal, è proprio la Roma a partire favorita a 2,50 rispetto al 3,00 della Lazio mentre il pareggio è offerto a 3,10. Due dati in contrapposizione: Dybala e compagni hanno vinto solo una volta negli ultimi cinque incroci con i biancocelesti ma Claudio Ranieri, il derby della Capitale, lo ha sempre vinto. Da sei partite segna solo una delle due squadre, il No Goal si gioca a 2,00, mentre quattro delle ultime cinque sono terminate con il risultato esatto di 1-0: lo stesso punteggio è offerto a 8,75 per la Roma mentre si sale a 9,75 per la Lazio. La possibilità che venga fischiato un rigore è in quota a 2,50 mentre si sale a 2,70 per una espulsione. Si preannuncia una sfida tra bomber, fantasisti e protagonisti inattesi: Dovbyk, a 3,00, se la vedrà con Castellanos, dato a 3,25; Dybala, gol o assist a 2,15, fronteggerà Zaccagni, in quota a 2,60 per una rete o un passaggio vincente mentre Gianluca Mancini sogna di ripetere il gol vittoria dell’ultima volta, ipotesi che pagherebbe 12 volte la posta. In casa Lazio attenzione a Dele-Bashiru, offerto a 6,00, che ha il piede caldo.
Il secondo big match di giornata va in scena al Franchi dove la Fiorentina riceve il Napoli. I toscani, attualmente quinti ma con una gara da recuperare, cercano di invertire la rotta delle ultime giornate visto che non vincono da 4 turni; gli azzurri vanno invece a caccia del quinto successo nelle ultime sei uscite in Serie A. Gli esperti Sisal vedono il Napoli favorito a 2,40, la vittoria della Fiorentina a 3,10 con il pareggio offerto alla stessa quota. Sfida che si giocherà sugli episodi visto che si affrontano le due migliori difese del campionato: l’Under, a 1,65, si fa preferire all’Over, dato a 2,10. Episodi si diceva: un gol dalla panchina, a 2,75, o una rete da fuori area, a 2,50, potrebbero indirizzare il match al pari di un’autorete, offerta a 9,00. Fiorentina-Napoli sarà anche la sfida fra bomber: Moise Kean a segno è dato a 3,50 mentre Romelu Lukaku che sblocca la gara come primo marcatore si gioca a 5,50.
Match delicatissimo quello che vede fronteggiarsi Monza e Cagliari, entrambe alla ricerca disperata di punti salvezza: biancorossi favoriti a 2,45 rispetto al 3,00 degli isolani. Venezia, vincente a 2,30, ed Empoli, tre punti a 3,40, non possono permettersi altri passi falsi al pari del Lecce, dato a 2,60, che riceve il Genoa, blitz a 2,90. La giornata è completata dal Verona, in quota a 3,25, che riceve l’Udinese, successo a 2,50, e dalla sfida tra Torino, a 1,85, e Parma, trionfo a 4,25, che promette spettacolo.
Sisal ricorda sempre che il gioco è vietato ai minori e che bisogna giocare sempre
con consapevolezza e moderazione.

Hong Kong: proudly helping to take China’s aviation...
HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 2 January 2025 - With much fanfare, Hong Kong welcomed the inaugural scheduled commercial flight outside of Mainland China of the country’s first domestically developed and built C919 passenger jet aircraft on January 1, 2025.
The C919 aircraft receives a water salute at Hong Kong International Airport and warm welcome by Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan (first left).
Operated by China Eastern Airlines, the C919 has taken up a daily round-trip route between Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) and Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, marking an historic milestone for the home-grown narrow-body aircraft in accordance with international airworthiness standards, and a new phase for Hong Kong as a global aviation hub.
“We hope that through this scheduled commercial flight, we can bring this historic innovation breakthrough in the Mainland's production of civil aviation aircraft to our Hong Kong citizens, as well as to the international visitors coming to Hong Kong,” said Mable Chan, Secretary for Transport and Logistics.
“We do hope that through this inaugural flight, we can innovate and establish ourselves in civil aviation, so as to demonstrate our position under ‘one country, two systems’ and our advantage of facilitating the Mainland’s achievements to flourish with Hong Kong's position.”
She highlighted three areas where Hong Kong could demonstrate its strengths and advantages. First, aircraft maintenance. HKIA has rich experience and comprehensive ancillary facilities that can fully support the maintenance of China-made aircraft outside of the Mainland. Second, training. The Hong Kong International Aviation Academy is an important aviation training centre in Asia, and is considering expanding its training programmes to cover areas related to C919. Third, aircraft leasing. With a preferential tax regime for aircraft leasing, coupled with Hong Kong’s well-established legal and financial systems as well as being the world’s largest offshore renminbi business centre, the city has an edge in aircraft leasing and can help the expansion of China-made aircraft in the international market through “finance leasing” in the city.
Earlier, Chan thanked the Civil Aviation Administration of China for its continued strong support of Hong Kong, and said the C919 scheduled commercial flights would give more Hong Kong residents “a chance to step on the C919 and experience the remarkable achievements of the nation's aviation development.”
“As an international aviation hub located in the heart of Asia, with half of the world's population within a five-hour flight, and with the newly opened three-runway system (3RS), Hong Kong will continue to capitalise on its unique advantage of connecting the nation and the world under ‘one country, two systems’,” Chan said.
A C919 flight demonstration over Hong Kong on December 16, 2023.
On November 28, 2024, the eagerly anticipated 3RS at HKIA was commissioned, ushering in a new era for Hong Kong’s aviation industry and its role in propelling related economic activities.
With the 3RS in full swing, HKIA, already the world’s busiest air cargo hub, would be able to increase handling capacity by about 50%, to some 120 million passengers and 10 million tonnes of cargo a year by 2035.
More than a city airport, HKIA has evolved into an Airport City and new projects include, among other things, creating an ecosystem for the arts industry, building the AsiaWorld-Expo Phase 2, developing a yacht bay with ancillary facilities and opening a food market for imported fresh food. Indeed, Hong Kong aims to expand the scale of the Airport City by more than double, building a new, world-leading landmark.

AlphaX DEX Supports USDT Trading of Memecoins on Solana,...
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 1 January 2025 - With the rapid development of the Web3 ecosystem, 2024 undoubtedly marks a pivotal moment in the blockchain industry. This year, Memecoins have transformed from speculative assets into a mainstream cultural phenomenon, becoming a key driver of widespread consensus and wealth transfer. As new issuance models and evolving asset types continue to emerge, the substantial investment opportunities they present have drawn an increasing number of users into the market.
In this trend, Memecoins on the Solana blockchain have demonstrated strong growth potential within the "Memes Supercycle," while Ethereum-based Memecoins continue to experience explosive growth. Furthermore, Base, an emerging public chain, has seen rapid success in the Memecoin space, quickly surpassing many traditional blockchain platforms to become a hotbed for investors. In 2024, classic Memecoins like Doge, Pepe, and SHIB have posted average gains of over five times, while MooDeng and PNUT have seen returns exceeding 100 times. Now, the AI segment is gearing up, with coins such as $ai16z, $Luna, $GOAT, $virtual, and $AIXBT gaining traction. These impressive results highlight that the earlier one enters the Memecoin markets on these chains.
However, despite the immense potential of the Memecoin market, the complexities and barriers of on-chain trading have deterred many new users from participating. From wallet setup and private key management to gas fees, token conversions, and the overwhelming number of trading pairs, these challenges have kept many investors on the sidelines.

As a decentralized exchange, AlphaX not only offers a smooth user experience comparable to traditional centralized exchanges, but also becomes the first decentralized exchange to support USDT-based purchases of on-chain Memecoins. This innovative approach makes Memecoin trading more intuitive and convenient, allowing more new users to easily get started.

In less than a month, AlphaX has already enabled trading Memecoins across three major blockchains: Solana, Ethereum, and Base. This means that users holding USDT or USDC can now directly search for and trade their desired Memecoins on AlphaX, completing transactions quickly without waiting for centralized exchange listing processes. For long-term Memecoin investors, AlphaX undoubtedly provides a more efficient and user-friendly trading platform.
