Serie A Roundup, Matchday 20

Matchday 20 of the 2024/25 Serie A season featured exciting games, unexpected outcomes, and outstanding player performances. This Serie A roundup provides an overview of the games from this round.

Lazio 1-1 Como

Como is now a point above the Serie A relegation zone after fighting back to earn a well-deserved 1-1 draw against 10-man Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico. This result continues Lazio’s disappointing league performance, with only one victory in their last five matches. Despite Como applying more pressure, both teams had to accept a point, leaving Lazio further behind in the Serie A title race.

Udinese 0-0 Atalanta

Atalanta failed to close gap on Napoli, settling for a goalless draw against Udinese at the Bluenergy Stadium. Gasperini will be pleased to return to Bergamo with a point, extending their unbeaten streak in Serie A to 14 matches. On the other hand, Udinese will regret not taking advantage of the situation, as Runjaić’s team has not won since their victory over Fiorentina before Christmas.

Empoli 1-3 Lecce

Lecce moved out of the Serie A relegation zone after Tete Morente scored and provided an assist, leading the Giallorossi to a 3-1 victory. This marked their first away win against Empoli since 2006. The significant win for Lecce, their second away triumph of the season, elevates Giampaolo’s team out of the bottom three and puts them on equal points with their opponents in this match.

Torino 1-1 Juventus

The second Serie A Derby della Mole of the season ended in a 1-1 draw between Torino and Juventus at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, resulting in Juventus having lost only one of the last 40 encounters over the past thirty years. Torino will feel frustrated, as they have only managed one home victory since early September (with four draws and five losses). Meanwhile, Juventus has gone four matches without a clean sheet and find themselves three points behind the top four.

AC Milan 1-1 Cagliari

Sérgio Conceição will have to wait for his first Serie A victory as the manager of AC Milan, as his team, who won the Italian Supercoppa on Monday, squandered numerous opportunities in a 1-1 draw against struggling Cagliari. This result further hinders their chances of securing a UEFA Champions League spot, as the hosts have now managed only one win in their last five league matches. Meanwhile, Davide Nicola’s team, which had only won once in their last 39 encounters against AC Milan this century, remains in the relegation zone, despite earning a crucial point.

Genoa 1-0 Parma

Genoa maintained their strong beginning under Patrick Vieira with a close 1-0 victory over Parma at the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris, achieving their fifth clean sheet in eight Serie A matches. This win elevates them to 11th place in the standings, providing them with some extra breathing room. On the other hand, Parma stays in 16th place, only one point above the relegation zone, and with just one win in nine away league games this season, they are heavily dependent on their home performance to improve their position in the table.

Venezia 0-1 Inter

For the first time ever, Inter has achieved six consecutive away victories in Serie A without conceding a goal, following Matteo Darmian’s early goal that secured a 1-0 win against Venezia at the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo. Despite facing a tough match against the league’s second-to-last team, Inter managed to secure the win and close the gap to just one point behind leaders Napoli, with a game in hand. On the other hand, Venezia have a five-point deficit from safety.

Bologna 2-2 AS Roma

Artem Doybyk’s last-minute penalty secured a 2-2 draw for AS Roma against Bologna in an away Serie A match, breaking a streak of three straight losses in their head-to-head encounters. This result marks Roma’s fifth consecutive match without a loss in all competitions, suggesting they are recovering after a challenging beginning to the season.

Napoli 2-0 Venezia

Napoli achieved their 12th clean sheet of the Serie A season, the most in Europe’s top five leagues, by beating Hellas Verona 2-0 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, solidifying their position at the top of the table. They now hold a four-point lead, providing a comfortable margin, although Inter could surpass them if they win their two additional matches. On the other hand, Verona is only one point above the relegation zone after this defeat ended their two-match unbeaten streak.

Monza 2-1 Fiorentina

Monza surprised everyone by securing their first home victory of the season, defeating ACF Fiorentina 2-1 at Stadio Brianteo. This loss marked the sixth consecutive match without a win for their former manager Raffaele Palladino across all competitions. The 2-1 win also broke Monza’s streak of five straight league losses.
