Hello my friends. Here are the results of the Serie A Week 17 – Seventeenth Round on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 December 2015.
Inter end the 2015 year as sole leader of the Serie A despite the results of the other games. Inter losing the home game at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium against Lazio. Inter having now 36 points and is followed by Fiorentina with 35 points. It means, next round Fiorentina can take the away leadership from Inter if they lose the away game against Empoli and if Fiorentina defeat Palermo at the Renzo Barbera Stadium. Same chance is for Napoli having now 35 points, they also can become the leaders if defeating Torino at the San Paolo Stadium.
All the “big” teams winning. Fiorentina, Napoli, Juventus and AS Roma keeping the race for the Scudetto alive.
Great end of year for Empoli winning their four consecutive game after defeating Bologna at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium with a 2-3. Hero for Empoli is forward Massimo “Big Mac” Maccarone scoring the winner goal. Chaos is for Bologna.
Bad news is for Hellas Verona ending 2015 in the last position of the Serie A with only 8 points.
The top scorer up to Round 17: Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuain with 16 goals
