✅ 10 Serie A Games Completed
⚽️ Serie A Top Scorer up to Week 30 (Updated on Sunday 20 March 2022)
Lazio forward Ciro Immobile and Juventus forward Dušan Vlahović with 21 goals each
AC Milan (66) secured another victory maintaining the first position followed by Napoli (63) and Inter (60). A tough away victory match for Pioli’s men who, thanks to Ismaël Bennacer’s perfect left-footed shot was enough to claim the victory. Cagliari 0 – 1 Milan. In the next round, Milan will host Bologna in San Siro and Cagliari will face Udinese at the Dacia Arena. Milan achieving three consecutive wins without conceding goals since May 2021, against Benevento, Juventus and Turin.
Inter succumbed to the pressure of failing to win against Fiorentina at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. The mission was to win and instead, this draw slows down the race for the Scudetto while Napoli defeated Udinese reaching 63 points. A point each between Inter and Fiorentina. The second consecutive draw for the Nerazzurri. Fiorentina shortens the distance from Rome, Atalanta (who played one game less) and Lazio, moving to -1 from the Giallorossi and Orobics, and to -2 from Lazio.
Napoli defeated Udinese at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. Napoli are battling neck to neck with AC Milan for the Scudetto. The hero is forward Victor Osimhen scoring a brace for the final result 2-1. Napoli have remained now unbeaten in the last 12 Serie A matches against Udinese, from the 2016/17 season onwards (11W, 1D) – among the teams currently in Serie A, the Neapolitans have a longer open streak only against Torino (13 races in a row without losing). In the next round, Napoli will face Atalanta at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo while Udinese will host Cagliari.
Juventus keeping up the race for a spot in Champions League next season defeating Salernitana at the Allianz Stadium. Juventus win for the fourth consecutive time and reach 59 points just minus one point from Inter third with 60 points: the gap from Napoli second (-4) and Milan first (-7) remains unchanged. Salernitana, on the other hand, remains anchored in last place with 16 points, 9 less than Cagliari, first among the teams outside the relegation zone. This is a tough defeat for Salernitana remaining in the last position and their dream for salvation is just a mirage. In the next round, Juventus will challenge Inter, with the aim of overtaking the Nerazzurri in third place. Salernitana, on the other hand, will have to face it at home Torino.
Roma win the Derby della Capitale claiming the bragging rights to rule in Rome, but also remain within the European Zone. Undoubtedly, Roma won convincingly the Serie A Week 30 game crushing Lazio at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium. Lazio also lost the 6th position stepping down to the 7th position. Roma are unbeaten at home against Lazio in Serie A since 30 April 2017 (3-1 biancoceleste starring Keita, author of a brace); since then, three wins and a draw. Roma kept clean sheets for two consecutive home derbies (after last year’s 2-0) for the first time since 2011 (three in a row then).
Bologna was defeated by Atalanta at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium. Atalanta grabbed all 3 points thanks to the goal by debutant Moustapha Cissé, 18-years-old, who started as a substitute. Atalanta reached 51 points and hook Roma in 5th place, with a game to recover. Bologna stopped at 33 points. In the next round, Atalanta will host Napoli and Bologna will face AC Milan in San Siro. Atalanta broke their stat previously not scoring in three Serie A away games and have not reached four in a row in the league since November 2015.
Spezia is closer to the relegation zone after losing against Sassuolo at the Mapei Stadium. Spezia have lost ten away games this league, including their last two. Sassuolo reached 43 points minus five from the Europe area, Spezia who now has to watch their back against Venezia, they could go to -4 in case of victory.
Genoa defeated Torino with a 1-0 reaching 22 points. The victory gave a ray of hope for salvation to remain in the Serie A next season. Torino unable to win despite playing with an extra player since the 24th minute when Referee Maurizio Mariani sent off Leo Ostigard. Genoa are back from three 0-0 in a row and the last team to do more in Serie A was Como in 1986 (four).
Empoli and Hellas Verona ended with a 1-1 draw at the Carlo Castellani Stadium. A point each that changes little in the standings of the two teams. In the next round, Empoli will face Fiorentina at the Artemio Franchi, while Verona will host Genoa. Verona wasted the chance to take the lead after Giovanni Simeone failed to convert a penalty.
