Serie A Roundup, Matchday 30
Matchday 30 of the 2024/25 Serie A season featured exciting matches, unexpected outcomes, and outstanding displays from various players. This Serie A roundup provides an overview of the games from this round.
Venezia 0-1 Bologna
Venezia, who are at risk of relegation, have not won a match since Christmas, recording seven draws and six losses, after losing 1-0 at home to Bologna in Serie A. This victory allows Bologna to maintain their chances of qualifying for the UCL. Meanwhile, Venezia’s situation is becoming increasingly dire as they remain in 19th place, five points away from safety.
Como 1-1 Empoli
Como’s winless streak in Serie A reached four matches (with two draws and two losses) after they drew 1-1 at home against relegation battlers Empoli at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. The draw allowed Empoli to close the gap to just two points from safety, while Como remains seven points clear in 13th place.
Juventus 1-0 Genoa
Igor Tudor began his tenure as Juventus manager with a victory, as the Bianconeri secured a 1-0 win against Genoa at Allianz Stadium. This result marked their 16th consecutive match without a loss against teams in the bottom half of the standings. Juventus is now only one point away from the top four, while Genoa’s winless streak on the road in 2025 has reached seven matches.
Lecce 0-1 AS Roma
AS Roma achieved their seventh consecutive Serie A victory with a narrow 1-0 win against Lecce, handing the home team their fifth straight loss in the league. This win elevates Roma into the European qualification spots, while Lecce remains just outside the relegation zone.
Cagliari 3-0 Monza
Cagliari alleviated their concerns about relegation from Serie A with an important 3-0 win against last-place AC Monza, who have not won in their last 10 matches (2 draws, 8 losses) and seem likely to be relegated to Italy’s second division next season. Monza is still 10 points away from safety as they approach the final eight games of the season.
Fiorentina 1-0 Atalanta
Fiorentina closed the gap to the Serie A top six with a surprising 1-0 win over Atalanta, halting La Dea’s four-match away winning streak and possibly jeopardizing their chances of winning their first Scudetto. This victory marks Fiorentina’s fourth win in their last six encounters against Gian Piero Gasperini’s team, making their aspirations for a fourth consecutive UEFA Conference League qualification more attainable, while Atalanta now trails Inter by nine points.
Inter 2-1 Udinese
Federico Dimarco’s two assists were key in securing a 2-1 win for Inter against Udinese at the San Siro, marking their 12th consecutive home league match without a loss as defending champions. Udinese suffered their second defeat in three matches, but Kosta Runjaić’s team is still safely positioned in 10th place, with no risk of relegation.
Napoli 2-1 AC Milan
Napoli achieved just their second win in eight Serie A games, thanks to first-half goals from Matteo Politano and Romelu Lukaku, resulting in a narrow 2-1 victory over AC Milan. Conceição’s team aimed for an exciting equalizer but found it too challenging as Napoli held firm under pressure, securing their first home win against AC Milan in seven meetings.
Verona 0-0 Parma
Verona and Parma have both distanced themselves from the Serie A relegation zone after their first goalless draw in head-to-head matches since November 1963. Verona, under Paolo Zanetti, has earned seven points from their last five games, placing them 14th and seven points above the relegation zone. For Parma, currently in 16th place, securing a point was particularly important as they are now three points above the bottom three, having remained unbeaten in four of their five matches since Cristian Chivu took over.
Lazio 1-1 Torino
A late equalizer by substitute Gvidas Gineitis allowed Torino to come back and secure a 1-1 draw against Lazio, who have now gone four games without a win for the first time since March 2024. Lazio had to accept their third 1-1 draw in four matches, while Torino has managed to score in eight consecutive away games, marking the longest active streak in Serie A.
