&lt;p&gt;This Serie A weekend is going to be a belter, and it being so tight down the bottom makes it only more exciting. Matchday 25 will kick off with Bologna vs Torino on Friday night; both teams are in great form and they are unbeaten since the turn of the New Year. On Saturday, Cagliari are looking to cause an upset in Bergamo while Verona head to San Siro to play AC Milan, who cannot afford to slip up. The battles for safety begin on Sunday: Como will play an ever-improving Fiorentina at the Franchi, Monza will play in-form Lecce, Empoli will try to put an end to their winless home streak against a fired-up Udinese side after their draw against Napoli, while Parma will face a Roma side in good form. Matchday 25 will finish on Monday with Vieira’s Genoa who are looking to get into the top half of the table against Venezia. The two biggest clashes of the weekend are Lazio vs Napoli and Juventus vs Inter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the Dall’Ara, two of the strongest sides in 2025 will face off. &lt;strong&gt;Bologna&lt;/strong&gt;, unbeaten this year and always solid at home, stand out with the best record this season for &lt;strong&gt;the fewest shots on goal conceded. Torino&lt;/strong&gt;, on a streak of five away games without defeat, have drawn six of their last seven games and are determined to win all three points to push themselves into a European spot. Watch out for the &lt;strong&gt;final stages of the match&lt;/strong&gt;: the Rossoblù have dropped nine points in the final quarter of games, while the Granata have only recovered two points in this time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;82f3c32c-41aa-4fea-889b-0cb7da0a3c91&#34; data-image-id=&#34;82f3c32c-41aa-4fea-889b-0cb7da0a3c91&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/cf63bbc3-7af3-40c3-970a-00396aa8985f/Sito_HERO_bol.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;82f3c32c-41aa-4fea-889b-0cb7da0a3c91&#34; data-image-id=&#34;82f3c32c-41aa-4fea-889b-0cb7da0a3c91&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;La Dea want to build on their resounding recent success against Verona and they will aim to score over two goals in two games in a row for the first time this season.&lt;strong&gt; Cagliari &lt;/strong&gt;have a positive record away in Bergamo, winning four of their last six, but &lt;strong&gt;they struggle against top-half sides&lt;/strong&gt;, having only won four points against teams in the Top Ten so far this season. The Sardinians haven’t kept a clean sheet away from home and they struggle to score in the &lt;strong&gt;first half&lt;/strong&gt;, while &lt;strong&gt;Atalanta &lt;/strong&gt;excel in the first period, scoring 27 goals, level with Inter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;14e0b657-615d-4c1b-9895-9a1f7a446a05&#34; data-image-id=&#34;14e0b657-615d-4c1b-9895-9a1f7a446a05&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/22028749-c582-41a0-b903-ecee6d1bed65/Sito_HERO_ata.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;14e0b657-615d-4c1b-9895-9a1f7a446a05&#34; data-image-id=&#34;14e0b657-615d-4c1b-9895-9a1f7a446a05&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The big match at the Olimpico will see &lt;strong&gt;Napoli &lt;/strong&gt;face up against &lt;strong&gt;Lazio &lt;/strong&gt;who have won their last two games. The Partenopei have eight wins in their last eleven away games against the Biancocelesti, better than any other team, and they haven’t lost away since the first day of the season at Verona. Both teams are dangerous in the &lt;strong&gt;final stages of games&lt;/strong&gt;: after 75 minutes, Napoli have recovered nine points to Lazio’s eight. Watch out for set-pieces: the home side have a good record from &lt;strong&gt;corners&lt;/strong&gt; (6 goals), but Napoli are the only Serie A side who haven’t conceded a set-piece this season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;2b91a6be-86c8-48e1-b075-722a264e2b65&#34; data-image-id=&#34;2b91a6be-86c8-48e1-b075-722a264e2b65&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/262c9489-f429-42a1-b940-883982d02856/Sito_HERO_laz.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;2b91a6be-86c8-48e1-b075-722a264e2b65&#34; data-image-id=&#34;2b91a6be-86c8-48e1-b075-722a264e2b65&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;San Siro is always a &lt;strong&gt;tough trip for Verona&lt;/strong&gt;, and they have never beaten &lt;strong&gt;Milan &lt;/strong&gt;or Inter away in their history. The Rossoneri, unbeaten under Conceição in their last three matches against sides battling relegation, must improve their &lt;strong&gt;home record&lt;/strong&gt; with only two wins in their last eight home games, despite their record number of &lt;strong&gt;home clean sheets &lt;/strong&gt;(six, equal with Napoli and Juventus). Verona, on the other hand, have conceded more goals than any other side in Europe’s Top-5 leagues, and they are known for their aggression in duels and interceptions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;f0421166-b7cc-4f8f-a537-69dcac09a6f7&#34; data-image-id=&#34;f0421166-b7cc-4f8f-a537-69dcac09a6f7&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/cdd02448-373c-4448-b9ea-94914976e3bf/Sito_HERO_mil.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;f0421166-b7cc-4f8f-a537-69dcac09a6f7&#34; data-image-id=&#34;f0421166-b7cc-4f8f-a537-69dcac09a6f7&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sunday’s lunchtime kick-off at the Franchi will see &lt;strong&gt;Fiorentina&lt;/strong&gt;, who are solid at home, face &lt;strong&gt;Como &lt;/strong&gt;who are struggling with four losses in their last five, including their three last games. La Viola have won seven of their last ten home matches, while the Lombardy-based outfit have only won seven points away from home. &lt;strong&gt;Fabregas’ &lt;/strong&gt;squad creates a lot but often can’t finish their chances, and they have the worst difference between actual points and expected points in Europe. Furthermore, they struggle in the &lt;strong&gt;second half&lt;/strong&gt; (26 goals conceded), something that set-piece specialists like Fiorentina (16 goals), could take advantage of.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;1ee014b1-7733-4e21-822d-fe85760f070d&#34; data-image-id=&#34;1ee014b1-7733-4e21-822d-fe85760f070d&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/0ce8b1d9-176b-4b4e-ad69-ec8712e92717/Sito_HERO_fio.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;1ee014b1-7733-4e21-822d-fe85760f070d&#34; data-image-id=&#34;1ee014b1-7733-4e21-822d-fe85760f070d&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monza&lt;/strong&gt;, with 15 losses in 24 games, have already matched their &lt;strong&gt;worst-ever record&lt;/strong&gt; in a single Serie A season and they struggle to get results against teams in the bottom half of the league having only won seven points in eleven games. &lt;strong&gt;Lecce&lt;/strong&gt;, on the other hand, have won 22 points in twelve games against teams in the bottom half and they are aiming to continue their unbeaten streak against the Brianzoli in the top flight. Following their win at Parma, the Salentini are looking to register two &lt;strong&gt;away wins&lt;/strong&gt; in a row for the first time this season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;1093187e-19d3-49a4-b4a4-e27b2f855a2b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;1093187e-19d3-49a4-b4a4-e27b2f855a2b&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/cb94a435-9a63-40c6-a80b-853be4eec008/Sito_HERO_mon.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;1093187e-19d3-49a4-b4a4-e27b2f855a2b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;1093187e-19d3-49a4-b4a4-e27b2f855a2b&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Udinese&lt;/strong&gt; are looking to win two home matches in a row in Serie A, something they have managed to do twice already this season. However, their &lt;strong&gt;defensive fragility &lt;/strong&gt;is still an issue: the Friulani have conceded at least two goals in six of their last seven home games. &lt;strong&gt;Empoli &lt;/strong&gt;have lost seven of their last nine games (2 draws) and they haven’t managed to win any points with goals scored in the last 30 minutes of any game. The &lt;strong&gt;Tuscan side &lt;/strong&gt;are also struggling with &lt;strong&gt;set-pieces&lt;/strong&gt;, scoring only one goal from a corner, while Udinese is one of the most vulnerable teams from dead balls, conceding 14 goals so far from set-pieces this season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;e863f31c-8260-4e0c-ae5a-64e20de98b17&#34; data-image-id=&#34;e863f31c-8260-4e0c-ae5a-64e20de98b17&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/887aff5c-e9bf-4afe-a69d-4aa164c79be6/Sito_HERO_udi.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;e863f31c-8260-4e0c-ae5a-64e20de98b17&#34; data-image-id=&#34;e863f31c-8260-4e0c-ae5a-64e20de98b17&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Parma &lt;/strong&gt;are in a tough position, losing three consecutive games and looking to avoid losing four games in a row for the first time this season. At home, the &lt;strong&gt;Gialloblù &lt;/strong&gt;have always conceded at least one and they must rediscover their &lt;strong&gt;attacking form&lt;/strong&gt;: only one of their last ten goals in the league has been scored by a forward. &lt;strong&gt;Roma&lt;/strong&gt;, on the other hand, are unbeaten in eight matches and they have found their &lt;strong&gt;away form&lt;/strong&gt;, winning their last two games against Udinese and Venezia. The &lt;strong&gt;Giallorossi &lt;/strong&gt;are one of the strongest sides in terms of &lt;strong&gt;rebounds&lt;/strong&gt;, having scored four this season, while Parma have only scored one, the second-worst record in Serie A.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;4e2f3368-625b-4ef1-b104-4a83a072f9db&#34; data-image-id=&#34;4e2f3368-625b-4ef1-b104-4a83a072f9db&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/b93181c8-a191-452a-b4c9-850c1f758d11/Sito_HERO_par.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;4e2f3368-625b-4ef1-b104-4a83a072f9db&#34; data-image-id=&#34;4e2f3368-625b-4ef1-b104-4a83a072f9db&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Derby d’Italia&lt;/strong&gt; is even more important in terms of the race for the Scudetto. &lt;strong&gt;Juventus&lt;/strong&gt;, unbeaten at home this season, want to win their &lt;strong&gt;third successive game&lt;/strong&gt; to put pressure on fourth-placed Lazio. &lt;strong&gt;Inter&lt;/strong&gt;, by contrast, are looking to recover from their most recent away loss and they are aiming to confirm themselves as the best &lt;strong&gt;attacking force &lt;/strong&gt;in the league with 58 goals scored. They also have the second-best defence in the league: the Bianconeri have only conceded 21 goals, less than everyone but Napoli. Again, watch out for &lt;strong&gt;set-pieces&lt;/strong&gt;: Inter are the team with the most goals from set-pieces (17), while Juventus, in percentage terms, have conceded the most goals compared to set pieces conceded (9/21).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;41375a2e-72e6-4e4f-9f83-5574ff581388&#34; data-image-id=&#34;41375a2e-72e6-4e4f-9f83-5574ff581388&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/3e8a3a02-69ca-4ca6-bc5c-07381d2407e9/Sito_HERO_juv.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;41375a2e-72e6-4e4f-9f83-5574ff581388&#34; data-image-id=&#34;41375a2e-72e6-4e4f-9f83-5574ff581388&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is a key battle for safety on Monday night at the Ferraris. &lt;strong&gt;Genoa&lt;/strong&gt;, who have been solid since Vieira’s appointment, have won their last two home games without conceding and they are looking to keep a &lt;strong&gt;clean sheet for three games in a row&lt;/strong&gt;, something they haven’t done since 2010 with Gasperini in net. &lt;strong&gt;Venezia&lt;/strong&gt;, on the other hand, are still looking for their &lt;strong&gt;first away win &lt;/strong&gt;in the league and they have won the least points (4) and conceded the most goals (24) away from home out of any team in the league. Both teams rely heavily on &lt;strong&gt;set-pieces&lt;/strong&gt;: Venezia have scored 59% of their goals from set-pieces to Genoa’s 41%. The Grifone have the highest percentage of goals scored in the area (95%) while the Venetians struggle in the box, having the second-lowest record of any team this campaign.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;3ff5b563-8f7a-46fe-a0b2-439e59839281&#34; data-image-id=&#34;3ff5b563-8f7a-46fe-a0b2-439e59839281&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/7859bd3c-136d-4419-bfe6-3605973a5563/Sito_HERO_gen.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;3ff5b563-8f7a-46fe-a0b2-439e59839281&#34; data-image-id=&#34;3ff5b563-8f7a-46fe-a0b2-439e59839281&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;

Furthermore, they struggle in the second half (26 goals conceded), something that set-piece specialists like Fiorentina (16 goals), could take advantage of.<figure data-asset-id="1ee014b1-7733-4e21-822d-fe85760f070d" data-image-id="1ee014b1-7733-4e21-822d-fe85760f070d"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/0ce8b1d9-176b-4b4e-ad69-ec8712e92717/Sito_HERO_fio.png" data-asset-id="1ee014b1-7733-4e21-822d-fe85760f070d" data-image-id="1ee014b1-7733-4e21-822d-fe85760f070d" alt=""></figure>Monza, with 15 losses in 24 games, have already matched their worst-ever record in a single Serie A season and they struggle to get results against teams in the bottom half of the league having only won seven points in eleven games. Lecce, on the other hand, have won 22 points in twelve games against teams in the bottom half and they are aiming to continue their unbeaten streak against the Brianzoli in the top flight. Following their win at Parma, the Salentini are looking to register two away wins in a row for the first time this season.<figure data-asset-id="1093187e-19d3-49a4-b4a4-e27b2f855a2b" data-image-id="1093187e-19d3-49a4-b4a4-e27b2f855a2b"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/cb94a435-9a63-40c6-a80b-853be4eec008/Sito_HERO_mon.png" data-asset-id="1093187e-19d3-49a4-b4a4-e27b2f855a2b" data-image-id="1093187e-19d3-49a4-b4a4-e27b2f855a2b" alt=""></figure>Udinese are looking to win two home matches in a row in Serie A, something they have managed to do twice already this season. However, their defensive fragility is still an issue: the Friulani have conceded at least two goals in six of their last seven home games. Empoli have lost seven of their last nine games (2 draws) and they haven’t managed to win any points with goals scored in the last 30 minutes of any game. The Tuscan side are also struggling with set-pieces, scoring only one goal from a corner, while Udinese is one of the most vulnerable teams from dead balls, conceding 14 goals so far from set-pieces this season.<figure data-asset-id="e863f31c-8260-4e0c-ae5a-64e20de98b17" data-image-id="e863f31c-8260-4e0c-ae5a-64e20de98b17"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/887aff5c-e9bf-4afe-a69d-4aa164c79be6/Sito_HERO_udi.png" data-asset-id="e863f31c-8260-4e0c-ae5a-64e20de98b17" data-image-id="e863f31c-8260-4e0c-ae5a-64e20de98b17" alt=""></figure>Parma are in a tough position, losing three consecutive games and looking to avoid losing four games in a row for the first time this season. At home, the Gialloblù have always conceded at least one and they must rediscover their attacking form: only one of their last ten goals in the league has been scored by a forward. Roma, on the other hand, are unbeaten in eight matches and they have found their away form, winning their last two games against Udinese and Venezia. The Giallorossi are one of the strongest sides in terms of rebounds, having scored four this season, while Parma have only scored one, the second-worst record in Serie A.<figure data-asset-id="4e2f3368-625b-4ef1-b104-4a83a072f9db" data-image-id="4e2f3368-625b-4ef1-b104-4a83a072f9db"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/b93181c8-a191-452a-b4c9-850c1f758d11/Sito_HERO_par.png" data-asset-id="4e2f3368-625b-4ef1-b104-4a83a072f9db" data-image-id="4e2f3368-625b-4ef1-b104-4a83a072f9db" alt=""></figure>The Derby d’Italia is even more important in terms of the race for the Scudetto. Juventus, unbeaten at home this season, want to win their third successive game to put pressure on fourth-placed Lazio. Inter, by contrast, are looking to recover from their most recent away loss and they are aiming to confirm themselves as the best attacking force in the league with 58 goals scored. They also have the second-best defence in the league: the Bianconeri have only conceded 21 goals, less than everyone but Napoli. Again, watch out for set-pieces: Inter are the team with the most goals from set-pieces (17), while Juventus, in percentage terms, have conceded the most goals compared to set pieces conceded (9/21).<figure data-asset-id="41375a2e-72e6-4e4f-9f83-5574ff581388" data-image-id="41375a2e-72e6-4e4f-9f83-5574ff581388"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/3e8a3a02-69ca-4ca6-bc5c-07381d2407e9/Sito_HERO_juv.png" data-asset-id="41375a2e-72e6-4e4f-9f83-5574ff581388" data-image-id="41375a2e-72e6-4e4f-9f83-5574ff581388" alt=""></figure>There is a key battle for safety on Monday night at the Ferraris. Genoa, who have been solid since Vieira’s appointment, have won their last two home games without conceding and they are looking to keep a clean sheet for three games in a row, something they haven’t done since 2010 with Gasperini in net. Venezia, on the other hand, are still looking for their first away win in the league and they have won the least points (4) and conceded the most goals (24) away from home out of any team in the league. Both teams rely heavily on set-pieces: Venezia have scored 59% of their goals from set-pieces to Genoa’s 41%. The Grifone have the highest percentage of goals scored in the area (95%) while the Venetians struggle in the box, having the second-lowest record of any team this campaign.<figure data-asset-id="3ff5b563-8f7a-46fe-a0b2-439e59839281" data-image-id="3ff5b563-8f7a-46fe-a0b2-439e59839281"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/7859bd3c-136d-4419-bfe6-3605973a5563/Sito_HERO_gen.png" data-asset-id="3ff5b563-8f7a-46fe-a0b2-439e59839281" data-image-id="3ff5b563-8f7a-46fe-a0b2-439e59839281" alt=""></figure>(Photo Getty Images)
