The 2024/25 Serie A season is in full swing as the usual giants look to challenge for the title, while other clubs hope they can achieve what Bologna did last season and surprisingly qualify for the Champions League. Inter and Napoli look like the favorites on paper to win the competition, but teams like Atalanta, Lazio and Napoli will be hoping to spoil the party in what is proving to be another exciting campaign.
Match of the week: Lazio vs. Inter
On Monday, Marco Baroni’s Lazio host Inter in what is expected to be a key match in the race for the Scudetto as the Biancocelesti bounce back from a huge win from last week. Napoli won 1-0 at the Stadio Maradona in Naples. Baroni’s side will face former Lazio manager Simone Inzaghi’s Inter, who lost 1-0 to Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions on Tuesday but are also coming off the back of four wins in their last five Serie A matches.

Pulisic was injured when Milan faced Genoa
AC Milan star Christian Pulisic will miss Sunday’s home game against Genoa and it is a big miss for Portuguese manager Paulo Fonseca as the Rossoneri are already twelve points behind Atalanta, the current leaders in Serie A. Pulisic will likely to be out for the rest of the year as he is expected to be back between the final match of 2024 against AS Roma and the Italian Super Cup which will take place in the first week of January.

Napoli must respond against Udinese
It’s not the best of times for Antonio Conte’s Napoli, as the Azzurri have lost twice to Lazio (also knocked out of the Coppa Italia) in the past week. Napoli must respond and what better place than Udine, where the Italian giants won their third Serie A title in May 2023.
