Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Atalanta, 3rd position with 54 points and a positive goal difference of +33
Venezia, 20th position with 14 points and a negative goal difference of -22

Atalanta and Venezia ended the Serie A Week 27 clash with a goalless draw on Saturday, March 1, 2025, at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, Italy.  Atalanta has now accumulated 55 points, sitting just one point behind Napoli and two points behind Inter, who are about to face off in a crucial match shortly.

The second half mirrored the first, with the home side generating numerous chances, some of which were quite remarkable, yet they couldn’t find the back of the net. They hit the woodwork twice in the first half and created several threatening situations, but they encountered a Venezia team that was well-organized on the field and even had a great chance with a backheel from Yeboha. The match concluded with some discontent from the Bergamo supporters.

The match …

Congratulations to Juan Cuadrado, the talented Colombian forward, for making 400 appearances in the Big-5 European leagues! Since his debut in the 2009/10 season, he has joined the ranks as the sixth South American to reach this significant milestone.

  Stats before the game.

Atalanta have won their last six Serie A games against Venezia, conceding just one goal in that period, and their longest streak of successes against a single team in their Serie A history is seven (against Bologna, Parma and Sassuolo).

In the 2000s, Venezia have lost all five of their Serie A games against Atalanta, and among the teams against which they have always lost, Atalanta are the team they have faced the most times in the competition in this period (5/5).Atalanta have won eight of their 10 home games against Venezia in Serie A (1D, 1P).

Venezia has not found the net in three games in a row in Serie A and has not gone four consecutive matches without scoring in a single top-flight championship since the first five matchdays of the 1998/99 season.

Atalanta have drawn their last two home games and have never drawn three home games in a row in Serie A in the Gasperini era; the last time in fact dates back to the period between January and February 2016, under the guidance of Edoardo Reja.
Atalanta have scored 59 goals in this tournament (the best attack on a par with Inter).

No player has scored more goals than Mateo Retegui since the start of 2025 in the top five European leagues: nine, equal with Ousmane Dembélé. Overall, in these competitions there are four players with at least 25 active participations this season: Retegui (25, 21 goals and four assists), Harry Kane (27), Omar Marmoush (27) and Mohamed Salah (41).

Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Fiorentina, 7th position with 42 points and a positive goal difference of +13
Lecce, 15th position with 25 points and a negative goal difference of -24

🇮🇹  Fiorentina won the Serie A Week 27 match on Friday, February 28, 2025, at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence, Italy. Fiorentina celebrates a much-needed victory after suffering three straight losses, temporarily moving ahead of Bologna to claim 6th place with 45 points. Meanwhile, Giampaolo’s squad remains stuck at 25 points, sitting in 16th place. Lecce is still struggling to find the back of the net. The last time the Salento team scored was during their match against Parma at the Tardini on January 31st.

Lecce is in desperate need of a victory to avoid falling into the relegation zone, as they have 25 points, just 4 points ahead of Empoli, who are in 18th place with 21 points.

Fiorentina secured a close victory over Lecce with a goal from Gosens just nine minutes into the first half. The match ended with a dramatic brawl, where Beltran struck the woodwork twice, and Danilo Veiga had a golden opportunity for the Giallorossi. In the closing moments, Lecce pushed forward, but Gudmundsson squandered a counterattack, leaving the match unresolved.

Palladino’s squad is set to take on Panathinaikos in the first leg of the Conference League round of 16, followed by a challenging match against Napoli at the Maradona in the upcoming championship round. The following matchday, they will welcome Milan to the Stadio Via del Mare.

The match …

Fiorentina struck first in the 9th minute when Robin Gosens found the net with a well-placed header into the bottom right corner. Dodô provided the assist with a fantastic cross to the far post, allowing the German winger to leap perfectly and direct the ball past goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone.
💜⚜️ Fiorentina 1 – 0 Lecce 🟡🔴.

In the 73rd minute, Lucas Beltrán ❌ missed a penalty for Fiorentina, striking the right post with his right foot.
💜⚜️ Fiorentina 1 – 0 Lecce 🟡🔴.

Stats before the game

Fiorentina secured a dominant victory in the first leg against Lecce, winning 6-0 on October 20, 2024. This sets them up for a chance to defeat the Salentini in both Serie A matches this season, something they haven’t achieved since the 2005/06 season. That year marked the only time the Viola managed to win consecutive games against the Giallorossi in the league. Following the heavy 6-0 loss in the first leg, Lecce faces the possibility of allowing at least seven goals to a single opponent in a Serie A season for the first time since the 2019/20 season, when they conceded 10 goals across their two matches against Atalanta.

Lecce are unbeaten in five of their last six away games against Fiorentina in Serie A (W3 D2), including the most recent (2-2, 27 August 2023), having lost five of their previous five away games against the Viola in the competition (W1).

Fiorentina are coming off three consecutive defeats in Serie A, without scoring in the last two.  They have not reached four consecutive defeats since the period between November and December 2019, with Vincenzo Montella at the helm.  Furthermore, in that series, there was a 1-0 defeat on the pitch of Hellas Verona, a match from which the Viola are currently coming off.  The next one was at home against Lecce (1-0 away for the Salento team in that case).

In the first 17 games of this championship, that is from August to the end of December, Fiorentina had an average of 1.88 points won per game, conceding 0.9 goals per match in Serie A; since the beginning of 2025, these values ​​have stood at 1.11 and 1.4 respectively.

Lecce is the only team that has not scored a single goal in Serie A in this month of February; In fact, the Salento team has not found the net in three consecutive games and has not remained dry for four matches in the competition since the period between last September and October, with Luca Gotti at the helm.

Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
AC Milan, 7th position with 41 points and a positive goal difference of +11
Bologna, 8th position with 41 points and a positive goal difference of +7

Bologna won the rescheduled Week 9 match with a 2-1 on Thursday, February 27, 2025, at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium in Bologna, Italy.  Coach Vincenzo Italiano’s squad climbs the standings to 44 points, surpassing Milan and closing in on fourth place, which is crucial for Champions League qualification. Surely, it was a tough night for Milan as their dreams of reaching the European zone slipped further away.  With this win, Bologna now sits in 6th place, while Milan stays in 8th with 41 points. Ouch! The key contributions from Santiago Castro and Ndoye scoring for Bologna. Leao’s goal, which briefly put Milan ahead at 1-0, ultimately didn’t change the outcome.

Stats: Bologna has achieved a home victory over AC Milan in Serie A for the first time since March 10, 2002, with a score of 2-0, thanks to goals from Salvatore Fresi and Julio Cruz.

In the upcoming match, Bologna will take on Cagliari, while Milan is set to face Lazio.

The Rossoneri are looking to bounce back after a loss in Turin against Torino. Bologna is eager to recover from an unexpected defeat to Parma.

The match …

Milan took the lead in the 43rd minute when Rafael Leão, the Portuguese forward, found the back of the net with a left-footed shot aimed at the center. The assist came from Mexican forward Santiago Giménez, showcasing their impressive teamwork!

Image

In the 48th minute, Bologna brought the game back to a tie as Santiago Castro netted a goal with a right-footed shot from close range, placing it in the bottom right corner. Giovanni Fabbian provided the assist. The score is now Bologna 1 – 1 Milan.

Image

Bologna clinched the lead in the 82nd minute when Dan Ndoye netted a close-range goal with his right foot, thanks to an assist from Nicolò Cambiaghi. The score is now Bologna 2, Milan 1.

Stats before the game:

Milan has an impressive record against Bologna. They are unbeaten in their last 17 Serie A encounters, with 13 wins and 4 draws. The last time Bologna triumphed over Milan was on January 6, 2016, when they won 1-0 at the Meazza thanks to a goal from Emanuele Giaccherini. The Rossoneri have only experienced longer unbeaten streaks against three teams in the top flight: Catania (26), Chievo (25), and SPAL (26).

On the other hand, Bologna managed to secure a draw in their most recent match against Milan in Serie A, finishing 2-2 on January 27, 2024. They haven’t gone two consecutive matches without a loss against the Rossoneri since the 2011-2012 season, when they recorded two draws under coach Stefano Pioli.

Excluding the first matchday, Bologna and Milan (both 41 points in the current championship) face each other in a match with exactly the same points in the standings for the first time since the 16th matchday of 2017/18 (21 points each in that case): the Rossoneri won 2-1 at the Meazza on that occasion.

Bologna have not found a home win against Milan in 18 consecutive games in Serie A (5D, 13P).  The last home win for the Rossoblu against the Diavolo dates back to 10 March 2002 (2-0, goals by Salvatore Fresi and Julio Cruz).  Only against Juventus (21, streak still ongoing) have the Emilians recorded a longer home streak without a win in the top flight.
After the defeat in the most recent match against Parma, Bologna could lose two games in a row in Serie A for the first time in over two years, or since January 2023 (against Roma and Atalanta in that case).

Bologna are unbeaten in 15 of their last 16 home league games (W7 D8).  Their only defeat in that period coming on December 30 against Hellas Verona. In addition, the Emilians have won their last three games at the Dall’Ara and have not achieved four consecutive home wins in Serie A since February 2024.

👉 Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Empoli, 18th position with 21 points and a negative goal difference of -16
Atalanta, 3rd position with 51 points and a positive goal difference of +28

Atalanta won the Serie A Week 26 on Sunday, February 23, 2025, at the Carlo Castellani Stadium in Empoli.  Atalanta delivered an impressive performance, dominating Empoli with a resounding 5-0 victory. This win is a significant boost for Atalanta as they re-establish themselves as serious contenders for the Scudetto. With this triumph, they now have 54 points, just three behind league leaders Inter at 57 and Napoli at 56.

Unfortunately for Empoli, they remain in a tough spot, sitting in third-to-last place with only 21 points. It was a goal-fest for Atalanta! They netted five times, while Empoli, who showed some promise in the first half, faltered after Gyasi’s own goal. Mateo Retegui continued his scoring streak, becoming the league’s top scorer with 21 goals. Ademola Lookman contributed with two goals, and Davide Zappacosta capped off the match with the fifth goal.

Empoli has struggled against Atalanta, losing their last five encounters in Serie A. They also have a longer streak of consecutive defeats against no other team, having lost five times to Inter, whom they have already played twice this season.

Nigerian forwaard Ademola Lookman shone brightly in Atalanta’s 5-0 triumph over Empoli, scoring two goals and securing the official MVP title for the Serie A Man of the Match.

What an exciting moment for Atalanta! They took the lead in the 27th minute when Emmanuel Gyasi accidentally scored an own goal. Zappacosta delivered a cross from the left, and Gyasi inadvertently redirected the ball, surprising goalkeeper Silvestri as it went in just under the crossbar.

Empoli is feeling the pressure! In the 33rd minute, Atalanta extended their advantage. Forward Mateo Retegui found the net from just a few feet away with a right-footed shot straight down the middle. The setup came from Berat Djimsiti after a corner that goalkeeper Marco Silvestri had to concede. Lookman delivered a cross from the left, Djimsiti headed it, and Retegui finished it off right in front of the goal.

It’s a celebration for Atalanta at the Castellani! In the 43rd minute, Ademola Lookman found the back of the net with a close-range right-footed shot. After a clever pass from Retegui, Lookman skillfully maneuvered past Silvestri and scored. Empoli must be feeling the pressure now. Empoli 0 – 3 Atalanta!

It’s Party time!!! Ademola Lookman scored a brilliant goal in the 55th minute, sending a left-footed shot into the top right corner, with Marten de Roon providing the assist.

The struggles for Empoli persist! In the 74th minute, Davide Zappacosta found the net with a right-footed strike into the bottom left corner. Mario Pasalic provided the assist, setting up Zappacosta on the left. The winger made a clever feint, advanced to the edge of the box, and fired a low shot that slipped past Silvestri.

✅   Stats before the game:

In their last six home matches against Atalanta in Serie A, Empoli has managed only one win, suffering five losses. Over the past decade (since the 2015/16 season), they have only faced more home defeats against Inter, with seven losses. Currently, Empoli is dealing with three straight losses, failing to score in the last two matches. The last time they experienced four consecutive defeats or three straight losses without finding the net was between March and April 2024, when they lost four games without scoring.

Atalanta has gone 10 away matches in Serie A without a loss, boasting 7 wins and 3 draws. Under Gasperini’s management. They’ve only had one other instance of going more than 10 away games unbeaten in a single season.  It was during the first 12 away matches of the 2021/22 season, where they achieved 9 wins and 3 draws. If we look at a ranking for 2025 alone, Empoli would find themselves at the bottom with just two points, tied with Parma, and they have the weakest defense, having conceded 17 goals. Meanwhile, Atalanta sits in 10th place, sharing the same points total of 10 with Fiorentina.

Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Juventus, 5th position with 45 points and a positive goal difference of +21
Cagliari, 15th position with 24 points and a negative goal difference of -13

Cagliari lost the Serie A Week 26 match on Sunday, February 23, 2025, at the Unipol Domus Stadium in Cagliari, Italy.  Juventus celebrates its fourth consecutive championship win while trying to move past their Champions League exit. They secured a 1-0 victory against Cagliari, thanks to Dušan Vlahović’s decisive goal. With this win, Juventus climbs to fourth place with 49 points. The Bianconeri capitalized on Lazio’s misstep.  Lazio could only manage a draw against Venezia, leaving them at 47 points.

Cagliari’s run of positive results comes to an end, but they still hold a four-point cushion above the relegation zone. It was a well-earned victory for Juventus, although they missed several chances to extend their lead to 2-0 in the first half. Thiago Motta’s squad needs to work on managing their leads better, as they have often faced dramatic comebacks from opponents in similar situations.

Juventus will be back in action midweek for the Coppa Italia. They will face Empoli on Wednesday, and will return to league play on Monday, March 3, against Hellas Verona. Cagliari will take on Bologna at Dall’Ara on Sunday, March 2.

Juventus opened the scoring in the 12th minute when Dušan Vlahović found the back of the net with a precise left-footed shot into the bottom right corner. Taking advantage of a significant mistake by Mina on a back pass, Vlahović seized the opportunity, outmaneuvered Caprile, and slotted the ball home to put the visitors ahead.

✅   Stats before the game:

Since the start of the last decade in 2010, Cagliari has managed to secure just one victory out of 26 encounters with Juventus in Serie A, recording 5 draws and suffering 20 losses. Only Lazio, with 22 wins, has triumphed over the Sardinians more often during this time.

Cagliari has shown some resilience at home, remaining unbeaten in two of their last four matches against Juventus (1 win, 1 draw) after enduring eight straight defeats. Following a 2-2 draw in their most recent home game on April 19, 2024, they have a chance to remain unbeaten in two consecutive home matches against the Old Lady for the first time since 2006, when they had two draws in a row.

Buy Serie A tickets

After ending 2024 with four consecutive losses, Cagliari has turned things around in the new year, losing only two of their seven Serie A matches (3 wins, 2 draws). Following a goalless draw in their last match, the Sardinians could achieve back-to-back clean sheets under the same coach for the first time since May 2021, when they were managed by Leonardo Semplici.

On the other hand, Juventus, who are riding a three-match winning streak, have not achieved four consecutive victories in Serie A since their five-match run from December 2023 to January 2024. Notably, the Bianconeri are the only team to have won all their matches in the tournament since February began, boasting a perfect record of 3 wins out of 3.

Player Stats

Prior to Randal Kolo Muani’s impressive start with five goals and one assist.  The last Juventus player to contribute to at least one goal in each of his first four Serie A matches was Kwadwo Asamoah back in 2012. In the past two decades, no player has achieved this feat in their first five games for Juventus. However, across all teams, the only player to do so was Krzysztof Piatek in 2018, with a remarkable seven contributions.
