&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Como vs AC Milan&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Atalanta vs Juventus&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;on Tuesday 14 February,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Inter vs Bologna&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;on the following day, plus&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Bologna vs Milan&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Fiorentina vs Inter&lt;/strong&gt;, which have not yet been rescheduled: five matches to go in the first half of the season in the running for the symbolic title of winter champion. This year, however, it will not be easy, as&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Napoli&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;lead with 44 points, three more than&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Atalanta&lt;/strong&gt;. By defeating Juve, they could join the Partenopei at the top.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Inter&lt;/strong&gt;, one point further behind, could potentially overtake both of them and lead by two points.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Antonio Conte`&lt;/strong&gt;s boys have played a great first half of the season and can boast 16 more points than they did this time last year, and six fewer than&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Luciano Spalletti&lt;/strong&gt;’s title-winning team. The Partenopei also have the best defence in the league with 12 goals conceded, fewer than&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Inter&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Juventus`&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;15.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Azzurri, who have the most wins so far (14) are flying, but&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Atalanta&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;are also doing well at +11 (potentially +14). Negative comparison to last year, on the other hand, for Inter, who would be at 46 points even with two wins out of two, two points less than in the first half of last season. Excellent first part of the championship for Udinese (+8), Empoli (+7) and Lazio (+5). Five more points also for&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Hellas Verona,&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;despite having the most defeats (12) and the worst defence (42 goals conceded), while&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Cagliari&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;are +2.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Juventus&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;(-14 net) is the only unbeaten team in the championship but first in the league table of draws, 11, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Monza&lt;/strong&gt;, last in the table with 15 points less than last year, will have to fight back.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Neapolitans are also at the top of another special ranking: 113 corners, three more than Inter and four more than&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Cagliari&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;, which surprisingly is occupying third place.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not counting the rescheduled games,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Inter&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;can already boast the best attack in the league with 45 goals scored, ahead of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Atalanta&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;with 43. Further behind are&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Lazio&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;with 33,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Fiorentina&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;with 31 and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Juventus&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;with 30. Only 11 goals were scored by&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Lecce&lt;/strong&gt;, the team with the worst offensive performance but with one of the highest ratios between goals scored and points won: each goal earned the Salentini just over one and a half points.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Atalanta`&lt;/strong&gt;s goal for 2025 will be to improve their goal percentage: in fact, the Bergamaschi have made 223 attempts, 20 more than&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Lazio&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;at 203, while&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Inter&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;have 197.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Gian Piero Gasperini`&lt;/strong&gt;s team has hit the woodworks 12 times (4 for&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Lookman&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;alone, the record-breaker at the moment), leading the list of “unluckiest teams in the league” along with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Cagliari&lt;/strong&gt;. Ten each in this tally for&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Parma&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Roma&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fiorentina&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;have gone offside the most at 45 times, one more than Inter, four more than&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Roma&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;and eight more than&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Cagliari&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As far as individuals are concerned, however,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Marcus Thuram&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Mateo Retegui&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;lead the list of top-scorers at 12 goals, one more than&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Moise Kean&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Lookman&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;is at 9 and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Vlahovic&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;at 7 further behind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nuno Tavares&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;has provided the most assists, 8, three more than the trio of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;De Ketelaere, Lookman and Lukaku&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Napoli&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;impresses with the management of changes:&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Giovanni Di Lorenzo&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;cemented his place under&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Antonio Conte&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;with 19 out of 19 games played as a starter, without missing a single second of action. A similar record for his teammate&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Rahmani&lt;/strong&gt;, while no one has been substituted more than&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Lukaku&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Politano&lt;/strong&gt;, along with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Strefezza&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;from Como at 15 times.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Giovanni Simeone&lt;/strong&gt;, who often replaced the two strikers, leads the list of the most substituted players along with Empoli`s&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Ekong&lt;/strong&gt;, with 15 entries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two penalties saved for both&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Milinkovic Savic&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;De Gea&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;(in the same match).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Castellanos&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;has the most shots on target at 29 times,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Krstovic&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;off target the most at 31 times.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Dorgu&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;was the most fouled (49),&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Izzo&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;the most foul-prone with 40 committed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In terms of discipline, finally, Lazio`s&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Rovella&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;was the most cautioned player (8 times), Lecce`s&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Guilbert&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;and Udinese`s&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Toure&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;sent off the most, with two reds each.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&lt;/p&gt;
