We will have the Coppa Italia Quarterfinals on Tuesday 26 and Wednesday 27. There is no Christmas break and Round 19 will be played on Friday 29 and Saturday 30 December.
Napoli securing the first position after recovering it last week. Napoli remaining the sole leader of the Serie A after defeating Sampdoria at the San Paolo Stadium. Napoli reaching 45 points. Final result is 3-2. The historical goal by Napoli Captain Marek Hamsik surpassing the all-time goal record by Diego Armando Maradona with 115 goals, now Hamsik scoring 116 goals.
Juventus securing the second position after defeating AS Roma with a 1-0 at the Juventus Stadium. Juventus reaching 44 points is only -1 point Napoli! The race for the Scudetto suddenly turning from a three-way to a two-race.
A blow the two Milan teams. Inter losing the second consecutive game this season. Last week, Inter lost the first position and went down to the third position which is a big disappointment. Inter’s objective to win the Scudetto risking big time and even losing momentum. AC Milan also losing their second consecutive game and is chaos! Atalanta defeated AC Milan with a 0-2 result at the San Siro Stadium.
Lazio rocking big time at the Olimpico Stadium. Lazio crushing Crotone with a 4-0. Lazio reaching 36 points. Problem is for Crotone going down from the 16th to the 18 position in the relegation zone.
Good news is for SPAL. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Spal ending with a 2-2 draw against Torino. Spal escaping from the relegation zone climbing from the 18th to the 17th position.
