✅ What happened in Round 16?
Atalanta has claimed the top spot! The team is celebrating after securing a remarkable 37 points by defeating Cagliari. This victory marks their tenth straight win in Serie A, setting a new record for Bergamo. With this triumph, Gasperini’s squad solidifies their lead, now five points ahead of Napoli. Cagliari, on the other hand, suffers their second consecutive loss, following their defeat to Fiorentina, leaving them with 14 points—just two points above the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Napoli currently holds second place with 35 points.
What a stunning defeat! Inter completely dominated Lazio at the Olimpico Stadium with an incredible 6-0 scoreline! Here’s a fun fact: with this victory, Inter has now netted 47 goals away from home in Serie A for 2024, setting a new record for the most away goals in a calendar year in the top division. Both teams entered the match level on points, but now Inter, with one game in hand, leads Lazio by 3 points and is closing in on Napoli (just 1 point ahead) and Atalanta (+3). Meanwhile, Lazio has stumbled after a three-match winning streak across all competitions. After a promising first 30 minutes filled with chances for Lazio, they faltered: Gigot’s substitution for the injured Gila led to a penalty that opened the scoring for the Nerazzurri, who went on to score six goals, each from different players. Lazio will be back in action against Lecce on Saturday at 20:45, while Inter will first take on Udinese in the Coppa Italia on Thursday before facing Como on Monday.

Empoli faced a disappointing setback as Torino triumphed at the Carlo Castellani Stadium. This victory marks Torino’s return to form after a challenging stretch of five games without a win. With this result, Torino temporarily moves ahead of Roma and matches Empoli’s points total at 19 in the league standings. Meanwhile, Empoli’s two-game winning streak comes to an end, marking their fifth loss of the season.
The match between Juventus and Venezia concluded with a 2-2 draw, leaving both teams feeling somewhat unsatisfied. This marks Juventus’s fourth consecutive draw, while Venezia also struggles to turn their solid performance into a win. Juventus now sits at 37 points, while Venezia has 10. The visitors initially leveled the score with Ellertsson after Gatti’s opening goal, then took a 2-1 lead thanks to Idzes, who redirected a well-placed free kick from Nicolussi Caviglia into the net. However, Juventus equalized in stoppage time with a penalty from Dušan Vlahović, awarded for a handball by Candela in the box.
A frustrating outcome. Milan 0 – 0 Genoa. Fonseca’s decision to start the young talents Jimenez, who stood out on the field, and Liberali, with Camarda coming in during the second half, didn’t pay off. Milan missed a chance to close the gap on their European rivals and now sits eight points behind fourth place, which has left their fans feeling discontented at the end of the match. This result casts a shadow over Milan’s 125th-anniversary celebrations. For Genoa, it’s a valuable point that brings them level with Roma and Lecce at 16 points, maintaining a two-point cushion over third-from-bottom Cagliari as they continue their fight for survival. Patrick Vieira’s unbeaten run as coach of the rossoblu has now reached four matches, contributing to six positive results, including Gilardino’s last two games. In the upcoming round, Milan will head to Verona, while Genoa will take on Napoli at Marassi.

Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Cagliari, 15th position with 13 points and a negative goal difference of -9
Fiorentina, 4th position with 28 points and a positive goal difference of +17
Fiorentina celebrated a victory in their Serie A Week 15 match on Sunday, December 8, 2024, at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence, Italy. This win marks an exciting moment for the team, as they have achieved their eighth consecutive victory in the league. It’s a remarkable feat for the Tuscans since the introduction of three points for a win in the 1994/95 season.
Palladino’s squad is having an outstanding season, currently tied with Inter at 31 points. They secured the three points against Cagliari with a first-half goal from Danilo Cataldi, keeping pace with the successes of Atalanta and Inter and staying close to the top of the standings.
Among the teams that have faced each other at least 25 times at home in Serie A, Cagliari has the highest percentage of home losses against Fiorentina. The Viola securing 29 wins out of 42 encounters. Cagliari is riding a wave of good form, having earned five points from their last three matches against Milan, Genoa, and Hellas Verona. Currently, the Sardinians sit three points clear of the relegation zone, with Lecce and Hellas Verona standing between them and Como, who are in the third-last spot.
Fiorentina bounce back after their recent exit from the Coppa Italia against Empoli, which ended in a penalty shootout during the round of 16. Palladino’s squad is eager to extend their current streak of seven consecutive league victories, not counting the match against Inter, which is scheduled to be played in 2025.
In the 24th minute, Fiorentina opened the scoring when Danilo Cataldi found the back of the net with a right-footed shot aimed at the top right corner. Lucas Beltrán provided the assist.

Fiorentina has not lost in their last seven Serie A encounters with Cagliari, boasting four wins and three draws. They’ve netted three goals in three of their last four matchups. The Viola have only managed longer unbeaten streaks against Cagliari twice in the league: eight matches (five wins and three draws) from April 2009 to November 2012, and ten matches (three wins and seven draws) from April 1980 to November 1991. Among teams that Fiorentina has faced at least 25 times at home in Serie A, Cagliari stands out as the opponent with the highest home win percentage for Fiorentina, sitting at 69% with 29 victories out of 42 matches (along with eight draws and five losses).
Fiorentina is currently enjoying a fantastic streak with seven straight wins in Serie A, and they have the chance to match their all-time record of eight consecutive victories, which was set between February and April 1960 under the management of Luis Carniglia. On the other hand, Cagliari has accumulated 14 points in this season, which is four points more than they had at the same stage last year.
The last time the Rossoblu had more points after 15 matches in the top division was during the 2019/20 season when they finished with 29 points. So far, Fiorentina has gathered 28 points, and a victory would allow them to break the 30-point barrier after 14 matches for the first time since the three-point win system was introduced. Notably, Cagliari (10) and Fiorentina (eight) lead the league in points earned from goals scored after the 70th minute.
Player Stats
Moise Kean has the chance to become the third player from Fiorentina to score ten or more goals in the first 14 matches of a Serie A season during the three-point era, following in the footsteps of Luca Toni (2005/06) and Giuseppe Rossi (2013/14).
Roberto Piccoli holds the record for scoring against the most different teams in Serie A without netting more than once against any single opponent (17). This record might change soon, as the Cagliari forward has already found the net against Fiorentina in their last encounter on February 2 while playing for Lecce.
