👉 Hello, my friends. Here are the 2023-2024 Italian Serie A Week 16 RESULTS / Sixteenth Round on Friday 15, Saturday 16, Sunday 17, and Monday 18 December 2023. The battle for the Scudetto remains a two-way race. The race is very tight between Inter with 41 points and Juventus with 37 points. Juventus slowed down the race after their draw with Genoa.
AC Milan returned to win defeating Monza with a 3-0. Milan have now 32 points just -5 points below Juventus and -9 below Inter. For the moment, we might say the Rossoneri are still dreaming with the Scudetto.
What a flop for Roma falling at the Dall’Ara Stadium losing their 6th position and going down to the 7th position. Surely, it is party time for Bologna with this prestigious victory also representing their 4th place reaching 28 points. Bologna are now in the European zone and will have to keep up their sprint race because Roma will surely increase their speed to regain in the next rounds their standings.
Another flop is for Lazio because they lost their home game beaten by Inter thanks to the goals of King Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram. Fiorentina also celebrates after beating Hellas Verona. Fiorentina and Napoli have 27 points just -1 point below Bologna. Inter are rocking and for the moment they are the absolute leaders making a statement that they want to win the Scudetto.
Atalanta with eighth success of the season in Serie A overtook Roma (25 points) and rose to seventh place in the standings with 26 points, giving continuity to last Saturday’s 3-2 against AC Milan. Salernitana, however, remain in last place in the standings and is now five points away from safety. It’s chaos for Salernitana and they need to start asking for a miracle to survive.
Bologna move top four, blanking Roma 2-0 as Inter increase their lead at the 🔝 of Serie A after a dominant victory over Lazio. 👀

✅ Stats before the game: Fiorentina won both matches last season against Verona without conceding a goal (2-0 in Florence, 3-0 away) and have never beaten the Venetians for three games in a row with a clean sheet in their history in Serie A. In general Hellas have not beaten the Tuscan team in the top tournament since 24 November 2019 (1-0 at home with the decisive goal by Di Carmine). Four of the last six matches at the Franchi in Serie A between Fiorentina and Verona have ended with a score of 1-1: a Viola victory in September 2022 and a Venetian success in January 2018 complete this run. In the last seven matchdays Fiorentina have collected just seven points in Serie A (after having collected 17 in the first eight rounds): in this partial only four teams have done worse in the competition, including Verona (last with three points won in this interval). Verona have come from three consecutive draws and have not collected four in a row in the same top championship since April 1989 (five in that case); furthermore, Hellas have not won since August against Roma (13 games in a row), a record streak without success in the competition since the 24 consecutive games recorded between May 2015 and January 2016 under the management of Mandorlini and Delneri. In the era of three points for a win, only once out of eight previous occasions have Verona been relegated to Serie B after having collected more than 10 points in the first 15 days of a Serie A championship: in 2001/02, when they had as many as 22 at this point in the tournament.
