&lt;p&gt;Following the international break, the league gets back underway with a round of fixtures that has &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/schedules-and-aims-the-title-europe-and-survival-73bl57d&#34;&gt;implications up and down the table&lt;/a&gt;. We kick off with Como vs Empoli, the first of 16 direct relegation six-pointers from here until the end of the season. Then, all eyes will be on the Allianz Stadium for Igor Tudor’s debut as Juventus boss, though he will have a tricky task ahead of him against another ex-Bianconeri player, Patrick Vieira. On Sunday, the action really hots up with two big games in the race for Europe: Fiorentina vs Atalanta and Napoli vs AC Milan. The Monday-night games will be massively important both at the bottom of the table and in the fight for qualification to Europe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Como vs Empoli: the first relegation crossroads&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;f2f6e42c-b4d2-4e75-b495-490ce5bb1985&#34; data-image-id=&#34;f2f6e42c-b4d2-4e75-b495-490ce5bb1985&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/3d320e78-3f01-4716-a778-840d48bb67da/Sito_HERO_Como.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;f2f6e42c-b4d2-4e75-b495-490ce5bb1985&#34; data-image-id=&#34;f2f6e42c-b4d2-4e75-b495-490ce5bb1985&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Sinigaglia&lt;/strong&gt; will play host to a finely poised affair. &lt;strong&gt;Empoli&lt;/strong&gt;, who are without a win in 14 games and have conceded in the most consecutive games (18), travel to an in-form &lt;strong&gt;Como&lt;/strong&gt;, who have scored in each of their last six and have taken 13 points in the last eight games at home. D’Aversa’s men, however, have picked up &lt;strong&gt;more points away&lt;/strong&gt; (14) than they have at home (8), while the Lombardy-based outfit have taken just twelve points from games &lt;strong&gt;against bottom-half teams&lt;/strong&gt; this season, five fewer than against sides in the top half. While Empoli are the team with the fewest goals scored in the second half of games (seven) and none in stoppage time, Como often &lt;strong&gt;concede late&lt;/strong&gt;: 31 in the second half and eight in the final minutes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Venezia vs. Bologna: resistance vs attack&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;118fc141-24ca-4421-bbd0-c6e9cb733836&#34; data-image-id=&#34;118fc141-24ca-4421-bbd0-c6e9cb733836&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/920cd427-e5de-451c-97cc-cfe8627623ea/Sito_HERO_Venezia.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;118fc141-24ca-4421-bbd0-c6e9cb733836&#34; data-image-id=&#34;118fc141-24ca-4421-bbd0-c6e9cb733836&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;A meeting of opposite mentalities is set to take place at the &lt;strong&gt;Penzo&lt;/strong&gt;. On the one hand, we have &lt;strong&gt;Venezia&lt;/strong&gt; who have been solid in recent weeks, drawing all of their last four matches but scoring just once in their last six. On the other hand, we have Italiano’s &lt;strong&gt;Bologna&lt;/strong&gt;, the &lt;strong&gt;best attack in 2025&lt;/strong&gt; with 24 goals scored, who are looking for their fifth straight win. Both sides employ an intense press, but the Rossoblù are certainly the more attack-minded of the two, while Venezia tend to stay compact, as they are one of the least effective teams on the counter and still haven’t scored from vertical build-up. Be prepared for &lt;strong&gt;early&lt;/strong&gt; drama: Venezia have scored the highest percentage of their goals in the first 15 minutes (22%), while Bologna are the least prolific in this timeframe (4%).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Juventus vs Genoa: Tudor’s welcome&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;6c545303-7208-4ecd-89fb-54f7a7962764&#34; data-image-id=&#34;6c545303-7208-4ecd-89fb-54f7a7962764&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/3831dfa3-54d5-4db9-883d-d1ca45bb7234/Sito_HERO_Juventus.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;6c545303-7208-4ecd-89fb-54f7a7962764&#34; data-image-id=&#34;6c545303-7208-4ecd-89fb-54f7a7962764&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/brocchi-discusses-tudor-s-juve-73c77c4&#34;&gt;Igor Tudor era is about to begin&lt;/a&gt;. The Croatian has returned to &lt;strong&gt;Juventus&lt;/strong&gt; to revitalise a group that has suffered two big recent defeats without scoring. This meeting with &lt;strong&gt;Genoa&lt;/strong&gt; is certainly no walk in the park, either. The Rossoblù, who beat Lecce last time out, are looking to make it &lt;strong&gt;two wins in a row&lt;/strong&gt; for the first time under Patrick Vieira. The Grifone are yet to win away in 2025 but have their weapons to hurt any team: 21% of their goals come from &lt;strong&gt;headers&lt;/strong&gt; and they are very physical in the challenge. Juve, on the other hand, don’t score many headers (just 3 this season) but are the best team on the &lt;strong&gt;counter-attack&lt;/strong&gt;, while Genoa are one of two teams not to have scored on the break.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lecce vs Roma: opposites attract&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;cf581ddb-5843-4b94-af88-95fc1015043b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;cf581ddb-5843-4b94-af88-95fc1015043b&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/15e7de6d-4757-4238-8f40-0f6f658834ce/Sito_HERO_Lecce.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;cf581ddb-5843-4b94-af88-95fc1015043b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;cf581ddb-5843-4b94-af88-95fc1015043b&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Via del Mare&lt;/strong&gt; will bear witness to a game involving opposites in terms of current form and the stats. &lt;strong&gt;Lecce&lt;/strong&gt; have lost each of their last four games, still haven’t won at home in 2025, and have the lowest number of individual goalscorers in Europe’s Top-5 leagues (just 5). Ranieri’s &lt;strong&gt;Roma&lt;/strong&gt; are flying. They are &lt;strong&gt;unbeaten&lt;/strong&gt; in 13 games and have won all of their last four away matches. Furthermore, the capital-city club have scored in each of their last 13 outings. Fun fact: both teams are among the best for &lt;strong&gt;offensive recoveries&lt;/strong&gt; in 2025 (15), but the difference is that the Giallorossi from Rome have been clinical enough to capitalise on that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cagliari vs Monza: tough times for both teams&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;e5dbc1d0-5dab-4dcc-808e-9b81e1e533f3&#34; data-image-id=&#34;e5dbc1d0-5dab-4dcc-808e-9b81e1e533f3&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/0da12dec-9506-49ed-a01b-7e15c14ebc71/Sito_HERO_Cagliari.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;e5dbc1d0-5dab-4dcc-808e-9b81e1e533f3&#34; data-image-id=&#34;e5dbc1d0-5dab-4dcc-808e-9b81e1e533f3&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the Sunday lunch-time kick-off, &lt;strong&gt;Cagliari&lt;/strong&gt; are looking to build some breathing room against a Monza side, who are well of the pace in the race for survival. The Sardinians haven’t won in their last five and are struggling in front of goal (2 goals in their last 5). However, they are unbeaten in their last seven &lt;strong&gt;lunch-time kick-offs&lt;/strong&gt; at home. &lt;strong&gt;Monza&lt;/strong&gt;, in comparison to 2023/24, have 27 points fewer and have underperformed in both defence and attack. Both sides struggle to defend set-pieces: &lt;strong&gt;8 goals conceded apiece from corners&lt;/strong&gt;, and Cagliari have the worst record from all forms of set-pieces with 17 goals conceded.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fiorentina vs Atalanta: differing attacking concepts come face-to-face&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;c4ff7c7b-19be-4f12-8b9c-54ea62b092a7&#34; data-image-id=&#34;c4ff7c7b-19be-4f12-8b9c-54ea62b092a7&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/ad722b0a-cc9a-4de3-bed8-8daec26a3b56/Sito_HERO_Fiorentina.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;c4ff7c7b-19be-4f12-8b9c-54ea62b092a7&#34; data-image-id=&#34;c4ff7c7b-19be-4f12-8b9c-54ea62b092a7&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the most intriguing fixtures of the matchday takes place at the &lt;strong&gt;Franchi&lt;/strong&gt; in a meeting of two attack-minded teams. &lt;strong&gt;Fiorentina&lt;/strong&gt; score frequently: 75 goals this season, 1.88 per game – their highest average since the ‘60s. &amp;nbsp;They’ve rediscovered their form of late, having scored three goals and won in both of their last two games in all competitions. On the other side, we have &lt;strong&gt;Atalanta&lt;/strong&gt;, who are one of the best teams away from home this season. They are unbeaten in their last 12 away games and have only lost twice away this season. This a match-up of two teams who are prolific in the &lt;strong&gt;first half&lt;/strong&gt; and two of the sides with the &lt;strong&gt;best conversion rate&lt;/strong&gt; in the league this season. Given their shared penchant for shots from outside the box and headers, this one promises to be a spectacle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Inter vs Udinese: the leaders don’t want to fall for the same old trap&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;b5f23d8e-a7e0-47e8-b4b5-35652fec9f72&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b5f23d8e-a7e0-47e8-b4b5-35652fec9f72&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/fc2eb124-e6d3-44bb-936f-3baa36f51e8c/Sito_HERO_Inter.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;b5f23d8e-a7e0-47e8-b4b5-35652fec9f72&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b5f23d8e-a7e0-47e8-b4b5-35652fec9f72&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Inter &lt;/strong&gt;are hoping to strengthen their grip on top spot and continue their march, having won four consecutive games and scored in 36 Serie A games in a row. Udinese, a traditional bogey team for the Nerazzurri, travel to San Siro, where they have beaten Inter ten times throughout history – though the Milano-based club have won each of their last six games against Udinese at home. Inzaghi’s men have scored the most &lt;strong&gt;set-piece&lt;/strong&gt; goals this season (20), while the Friulian side have conceded 16 times from dead-ball situations, their worst-ever record. Both sides threaten on the wing and send plenty of &lt;strong&gt;crosses &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;into the box&lt;/em&gt;, which could see the game become a battle to dominate the wide areas. Be aware of &lt;strong&gt;substitutions&lt;/strong&gt; too: only two Udinese players have come off the bench to score this season, the fewest in the league.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Sunday night fixture between &lt;strong&gt;Napoli&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;AC Milan&lt;/strong&gt; is a highly meaningful clash, though for different reasons. Napoli are chasing Inter and want to consolidate second place, while the Rossoneri need to mount a charge for the European places following an up-and-down season so far.

Hellas, in fact, have won all of their last five home games against Parma. The men from Emilia-Romagna have improved somewhat of late – with just one defeat since Chivu took charge – but have won just once away from home all season. Verona are vulnerable in the &lt;strong&gt;opening stages&lt;/strong&gt;, having conceded ten goals in the first quarter of an hour and &lt;strong&gt;most of their goals in the first half&lt;/strong&gt;. Parma, on the other hand, are most dangerous in the &lt;strong&gt;final moments,&lt;/strong&gt; with 14 goals scored after the clock strikes 75 minutes. The key match-up in this relegation six-pointer is between the hosts’ defensive compactness and the guests’ desire to be direct.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lazio vs Torino: balance and contrasting styles&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;7e856094-a625-451d-a239-59baf09b18d4&#34; data-image-id=&#34;7e856094-a625-451d-a239-59baf09b18d4&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/ee499ada-4e46-41da-ac70-81dd25f901a3/Sito_HERO_Lazio.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;7e856094-a625-451d-a239-59baf09b18d4&#34; data-image-id=&#34;7e856094-a625-451d-a239-59baf09b18d4&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two teams in differing states of form face off at the Olimpico. &lt;strong&gt;Lazio&lt;/strong&gt; have struggled at home in recent weeks (just 1 win in their last 7), while &lt;strong&gt;Torino&lt;/strong&gt; are &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/current-breakout-players-73aoca4&#34;&gt;one of the most in-form teams in 2025&lt;/a&gt;, with just one defeat in their last eleven outings. The Biancocelesti tend to favour dribbling and measured possession, with the highest percentage of &lt;strong&gt;completed dribbles&lt;/strong&gt; in the league this season (52%) and a notable ability to &lt;strong&gt;play through the press&lt;/strong&gt;. The Granata, in contrast, are bottom for shots following offensive recoveries and haven’t scored following a sequence of at least ten passes. It will be a meeting of the hosts’ technical superiority and the guests’ solidity and fitness – there are plenty of physical duels on the horizon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;

Fasten your seatbelts, Serie A gets back underway for the run-in.  We get going on Saturday with a relegation battle and Tudor’s debut at the helm for Juve. We have epic action in store on Sunday as Fiorentina take on Atalanta and Napoli take on AC Milan

Following the international break, the league gets back underway with a round of fixtures that has <a href="https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/schedules-and-aims-the-title-europe-and-survival-73bl57d">implications up and down the table</a>. We kick off with Como vs Empoli, the first of 16 direct relegation six-pointers from here until the end of the season. Then, all eyes will be on the Allianz Stadium for Igor Tudor’s debut as Juventus boss, though he will have a tricky task ahead of him against another ex-Bianconeri player, Patrick Vieira. On Sunday, the action really hots up with two big games in the race for Europe: Fiorentina vs Atalanta and Napoli vs AC Milan. The Monday-night games will be massively important both at the bottom of the table and in the fight for qualification to Europe. Como vs Empoli: the first relegation crossroads<figure data-asset-id="f2f6e42c-b4d2-4e75-b495-490ce5bb1985" data-image-id="f2f6e42c-b4d2-4e75-b495-490ce5bb1985"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/3d320e78-3f01-4716-a778-840d48bb67da/Sito_HERO_Como.png" data-asset-id="f2f6e42c-b4d2-4e75-b495-490ce5bb1985" data-image-id="f2f6e42c-b4d2-4e75-b495-490ce5bb1985" alt=""></figure>The Sinigaglia will play host to a finely poised affair. Empoli, who are without a win in 14 games and have conceded in the most consecutive games (18), travel to an in-form Como, who have scored in each of their last six and have taken 13 points in the last eight games at home. D’Aversa’s men, however, have picked up more points away (14) than they have at home (8), while the Lombardy-based outfit have taken just twelve points from games against bottom-half teams this season, five fewer than against sides in the top half. While Empoli are the team with the fewest goals scored in the second half of games (seven) and none in stoppage time, Como often concede late: 31 in the second half and eight in the final minutes. Venezia vs. Bologna: resistance vs attack<figure data-asset-id="118fc141-24ca-4421-bbd0-c6e9cb733836" data-image-id="118fc141-24ca-4421-bbd0-c6e9cb733836"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/920cd427-e5de-451c-97cc-cfe8627623ea/Sito_HERO_Venezia.png" data-asset-id="118fc141-24ca-4421-bbd0-c6e9cb733836" data-image-id="118fc141-24ca-4421-bbd0-c6e9cb733836" alt=""></figure>A meeting of opposite mentalities is set to take place at the Penzo. On the one hand, we have Venezia who have been solid in recent weeks, drawing all of their last four matches but scoring just once in their last six. On the other hand, we have Italiano’s Bologna, the best attack in 2025 with 24 goals scored, who are looking for their fifth straight win. Both sides employ an intense press, but the Rossoblù are certainly the more attack-minded of the two, while Venezia tend to stay compact, as they are one of the least effective teams on the counter and still haven’t scored from vertical build-up. Be prepared for early drama: Venezia have scored the highest percentage of their goals in the first 15 minutes (22%), while Bologna are the least prolific in this timeframe (4%). Juventus vs Genoa: Tudor’s welcome<figure data-asset-id="6c545303-7208-4ecd-89fb-54f7a7962764" data-image-id="6c545303-7208-4ecd-89fb-54f7a7962764"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/3831dfa3-54d5-4db9-883d-d1ca45bb7234/Sito_HERO_Juventus.png" data-asset-id="6c545303-7208-4ecd-89fb-54f7a7962764" data-image-id="6c545303-7208-4ecd-89fb-54f7a7962764" alt=""></figure>The<a href="https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/brocchi-discusses-tudor-s-juve-73c77c4">Igor Tudor era is about to begin</a>. The Croatian has returned to Juventus to revitalise a group that has suffered two big recent defeats without scoring. This meeting with Genoa is certainly no walk in the park, either. The Rossoblù, who beat Lecce last time out, are looking to make it two wins in a row for the first time under Patrick Vieira. The Grifone are yet to win away in 2025 but have their weapons to hurt any team: 21% of their goals come from headers and they are very physical in the challenge. Juve, on the other hand, don’t score many headers (just 3 this season) but are the best team on the counter-attack, while Genoa are one of two teams not to have scored on the break. Lecce vs Roma: opposites attract<figure data-asset-id="cf581ddb-5843-4b94-af88-95fc1015043b" data-image-id="cf581ddb-5843-4b94-af88-95fc1015043b"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/15e7de6d-4757-4238-8f40-0f6f658834ce/Sito_HERO_Lecce.png" data-asset-id="cf581ddb-5843-4b94-af88-95fc1015043b" data-image-id="cf581ddb-5843-4b94-af88-95fc1015043b" alt=""></figure>The Via del Mare will bear witness to a game involving opposites in terms of current form and the stats. Lecce have lost each of their last four games, still haven’t won at home in 2025, and have the lowest number of individual goalscorers in Europe’s Top-5 leagues (just 5). Ranieri’s Roma are flying. They are unbeaten in 13 games and have won all of their last four away matches. Furthermore, the capital-city club have scored in each of their last 13 outings. Fun fact: both teams are among the best for offensive recoveries in 2025 (15), but the difference is that the Giallorossi from Rome have been clinical enough to capitalise on that. Cagliari vs Monza: tough times for both teams<figure data-asset-id="e5dbc1d0-5dab-4dcc-808e-9b81e1e533f3" data-image-id="e5dbc1d0-5dab-4dcc-808e-9b81e1e533f3"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/0da12dec-9506-49ed-a01b-7e15c14ebc71/Sito_HERO_Cagliari.png" data-asset-id="e5dbc1d0-5dab-4dcc-808e-9b81e1e533f3" data-image-id="e5dbc1d0-5dab-4dcc-808e-9b81e1e533f3" alt=""></figure>In the Sunday lunch-time kick-off, Cagliari are looking to build some breathing room against a Monza side, who are well of the pace in the race for survival. The Sardinians haven’t won in their last five and are struggling in front of goal (2 goals in their last 5). However, they are unbeaten in their last seven lunch-time kick-offs at home. Monza, in comparison to 2023/24, have 27 points fewer and have underperformed in both defence and attack. Both sides struggle to defend set-pieces: 8 goals conceded apiece from corners, and Cagliari have the worst record from all forms of set-pieces with 17 goals conceded. Fiorentina vs Atalanta: differing attacking concepts come face-to-face<figure data-asset-id="c4ff7c7b-19be-4f12-8b9c-54ea62b092a7" data-image-id="c4ff7c7b-19be-4f12-8b9c-54ea62b092a7"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/ad722b0a-cc9a-4de3-bed8-8daec26a3b56/Sito_HERO_Fiorentina.png" data-asset-id="c4ff7c7b-19be-4f12-8b9c-54ea62b092a7" data-image-id="c4ff7c7b-19be-4f12-8b9c-54ea62b092a7" alt=""></figure>One of the most intriguing fixtures of the matchday takes place at the Franchi in a meeting of two attack-minded teams. Fiorentina score frequently: 75 goals this season, 1.88 per game – their highest average since the ‘60s. &nbsp;They’ve rediscovered their form of late, having scored three goals and won in both of their last two games in all competitions. On the other side, we have Atalanta, who are one of the best teams away from home this season. They are unbeaten in their last 12 away games and have only lost twice away this season. This a match-up of two teams who are prolific in the first half and two of the sides with the best conversion rate in the league this season. Given their shared penchant for shots from outside the box and headers, this one promises to be a spectacle. Inter vs Udinese: the leaders don’t want to fall for the same old trap<figure data-asset-id="b5f23d8e-a7e0-47e8-b4b5-35652fec9f72" data-image-id="b5f23d8e-a7e0-47e8-b4b5-35652fec9f72"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/fc2eb124-e6d3-44bb-936f-3baa36f51e8c/Sito_HERO_Inter.png" data-asset-id="b5f23d8e-a7e0-47e8-b4b5-35652fec9f72" data-image-id="b5f23d8e-a7e0-47e8-b4b5-35652fec9f72" alt=""></figure>Inter are hoping to strengthen their grip on top spot and continue their march, having won four consecutive games and scored in 36 Serie A games in a row. Udinese, a traditional bogey team for the Nerazzurri, travel to San Siro, where they have beaten Inter ten times throughout history – though the Milano-based club have won each of their last six games against Udinese at home. Inzaghi’s men have scored the most set-piece goals this season (20), while the Friulian side have conceded 16 times from dead-ball situations, their worst-ever record. Both sides threaten on the wing and send plenty of crosses into the box, which could see the game become a battle to dominate the wide areas. Be aware of substitutions too: only two Udinese players have come off the bench to score this season, the fewest in the league. The Sunday night fixture between Napoli and AC Milan is a highly meaningful clash, though for different reasons. Napoli are chasing Inter and want to consolidate second place, while the Rossoneri need to mount a charge for the European places following an up-and-down season so far.

Hellas, in fact, have won all of their last five home games against Parma. The men from Emilia-Romagna have improved somewhat of late – with just one defeat since Chivu took charge – but have won just once away from home all season. Verona are vulnerable in the opening stages, having conceded ten goals in the first quarter of an hour and most of their goals in the first half. Parma, on the other hand, are most dangerous in the final moments, with 14 goals scored after the clock strikes 75 minutes. The key match-up in this relegation six-pointer is between the hosts’ defensive compactness and the guests’ desire to be direct. Lazio vs Torino: balance and contrasting styles<figure data-asset-id="7e856094-a625-451d-a239-59baf09b18d4" data-image-id="7e856094-a625-451d-a239-59baf09b18d4"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/ee499ada-4e46-41da-ac70-81dd25f901a3/Sito_HERO_Lazio.png" data-asset-id="7e856094-a625-451d-a239-59baf09b18d4" data-image-id="7e856094-a625-451d-a239-59baf09b18d4" alt=""></figure>Two teams in differing states of form face off at the Olimpico. Lazio have struggled at home in recent weeks (just 1 win in their last 7), while Torino are <a href="https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/current-breakout-players-73aoca4">one of the most in-form teams in 2025</a>, with just one defeat in their last eleven outings. The Biancocelesti tend to favour dribbling and measured possession, with the highest percentage of completed dribbles in the league this season (52%) and a notable ability to play through the press. The Granata, in contrast, are bottom for shots following offensive recoveries and haven’t scored following a sequence of at least ten passes. It will be a meeting of the hosts’ technical superiority and the guests’ solidity and fitness – there are plenty of physical duels on the horizon. (Photo Getty Images)
