Torino secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Cagliari, showcasing their dominance throughout the match. Che Adams was in exceptional form, scoring both goals—one in each half—which helped the Granata achieve their third home win of the season. Cagliari, on the other hand, struggled offensively and took a significant step back in their performance.
Milan staged a thrilling comeback scoring two goals in injury time to secure a 3-2 victory against Parma. Christian Pulisic converted a penalty, while Reijnders and Chukwueze added to the tally. Parma had initially taken the lead twice with goals from Cancellieri and Delprato. Just think about it! In a historic moment for Serie A, Milan achieved an amazing comeback, scoring two goals after the 90th minute to clinch their first-ever win from behind! With this win, Milan climbs to 7th place, now tied with Bologna at 34 points, just 2 points behind Juventus with 36 points. The Rossoneri remain in contention for a Champions League spot. On the other hand, Parma, who aimed for victory, now finds themselves just one point above the relegation zone.
Atalanta triumphed over Como at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium with a score of 2-1. This win brings Atalanta’s points total to 46, placing them 7 points behind the league leaders, Napoli, who have 53 points. Como, on the other hand, remains at 22 points. It was an exciting comeback match filled with twists and turns.

Retegui is now the top scorer in Serie A with 16 goals.
What a disappointing outcome for Lazio as they fell to Fiorentina at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium. Fiorentina not only took the victory but also secured three crucial points. However, it’s not all doom and gloom for Lazio, as they still hold onto 4th place with 39 points. Fiorentina, on the other hand, climbed to 6th place with 36 points, tying with Juventus. Fiorentina took the lead in the first half with goals from Yacine Adli and Lucas Beltrán. The second half saw Lazio dominating possession, desperately seeking a glimmer of hope. Tensions flared, leading to both coaches being sent off by Referee Rapuano. In stoppage time, Marusic managed to score with a header from a Hyasj assist. Just as the match was about to end, Pedro hit the post in the 98th minute, leaving the home crowd in stunned silence!
Empoli and Bologna ended with a 1-1 draw at the Carlo Castellani Stadium. Empoli now has 21 points, while Bologna sits at 34 points, maintaining their 6th place in the European zone. All the action took place in the first half: Colombo opened the scoring in the 24th minute with a cross from Pezzella, but Dominguez equalized just before halftime with a volley assisted by Lykogiannis. In the second half, Odgaard (73′) and Beukema (80′) had opportunities to score. In the upcoming round, Empoli will travel to face Juventus, while Bologna will host Como at home.
AS Roma secured an away victory, marking their first win since last April in Udine, bringing their total to 30 points. Meanwhile, Udinese remains at 26 points. In a thrilling match, Roma staged a comeback after the home team initially took the lead against Lucca.

Udinese has faced Roma 101 times in Serie A, suffering 54 losses (with 23 wins and 24 draws). Their only greater number of defeats has come against Juventus, where they’ve lost 69 times, while they also share 54 losses with Inter. Roma has been quite dominant lately, winning seven out of their last nine encounters with Udinese in Serie A, with one draw and one loss.
The Friulians’ only victory in this stretch was a significant 4-0 win at home on September 4, 2022. Additionally, Roma has been strong on the road. They are unbeaten in 10 of their last 12 away games against Udinese (with 8 wins and 2 draws), bouncing back after losing three of the previous four. Following their recent defeat to Como, Udinese risks losing two consecutive Serie A matches for the first time since last October-November, when they lost three in a row.
Roma recently secured a victory in their latest league match against Genoa, marking their only second win in a row during the 2024/25 Serie A season, which they previously accomplished last September against Udinese and Venezia under coach Ivan Juric.
The Roman gladiators are currently facing a tough challenge, having gone 13 away games without a win (7 draws, 6 losses), a situation not seen since a 15-match streak from April 1998 to March 1999. Their last away victory in the league was on April 25, when they triumphed over Udinese with a score of 2-1. In terms of hitting the woodwork, only Atalanta and Cagliari (both with 12) have done so more than Udinese and Roma, who have each hit the post 11 times, alongside Juventus, in the ongoing season.

Florian Thauvin has netted five goals and assisted three times in this championship over 18 matches, matching his personal best for goals and assists in a Serie A season: 5 goals and 3 assists in 2023/24, although he achieved that in 29 games.
Paulo Dybala has made a significant impact against Udinese in Serie A, contributing to 21 goals in 21 appearances (12 goals and 9 assists), setting a record for the most goal involvements against a single opponent since records began in the 2004/05 season.
Stephan El Shaarawy has scored six times against Udinese in Serie A, with only Chievo being a tougher opponent for him, as he has seven goals against them. Notably, all of El Shaarawy’s last six Serie A goals have come in home games, with his most recent away goal occurring on May 27, 2023, against Fiorentina.
