👉  Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Lazio, 6th position with 42 points and a positive goal difference of +9
Monza, 20th position with 13 points and a negative goal difference of  -14

 Lazio won the Serie A Week 24 game crushing  AC Monza on Sunday 9 February 2025 at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium in Rome, Italy. Lazio celebrates a home victory, climbing back to fourth place with 45 points. Meanwhile, Monza remains at the bottom of the table with just 13 points. The match saw Lazio take control early, with Marusic. In the second half, Pedro added two more goals, while Castellanos and Dele Bashiru contributed to the final score. Monza managed to score a consolation goal through Sensi’s penalty.

Monza is feeling the heat as they find themselves at the bottom of the standings and need to start winning soon. The threat of relegation to Serie B looms large for them next season. On the other hand, Lazio is in a more favorable position, sitting comfortably in 6th place.

After Juventus’ victory, Lazio is looking for the three points to get back into the Champions League zone. Monza just needs the victory to rekindle their salvation hopes.

The match …

Lazio opened the scoring in the 31st minute when Adam Marusic found the net with a close-range header into the bottom right corner. The assist came from Valentín Castellanos, who received a ball from Isaksen at the far post and set it up perfectly for Marusic to finish.

Lazio secured their second goal in the 57th minute, making it 2-0. Pedro found the net with a precise left-footed shot into the bottom left corner, thanks to an assist from Valentín Castellanos. It was a swift play by Lazio, with Castellanos setting up Pedro, who calmly slotted the ball past the goalkeeper.

Monza is facing some serious challenges! Lazio is in control, and in the 62nd minute, they lead 3-0. Valentín Castellanos found the net with a right-footed shot into the bottom right corner. The assist came from Mattia Zaccagni, who created space on the left before delivering a perfect pass to Castellanos in the middle. With a gentle touch, Castellanos placed the ball just to the left of Pizzignacco.

Lazio delivered an impressive 4-0 victory in the 77th minute. Pedro found the net with a left-footed strike to the bottom right corner, thanks to an assist from Tijjani Noslin. The play involved a clever triangle with Tchouna and Noslin, who set up Pedro perfectly in the center. The Spaniard took a quick shot and sent the ball into the back of the net. What a performance! Pedro netted two goals in this match—talk about motivation!

Monza managed to score a consolation goal in the 86th minute, bringing the score to 4-1. Stefano Sensi stepped up to take the penalty, striking it with his right foot into the bottom right corner. The penalty was awarded after Manuel Lazzari committed a handball in the box.

In a thrilling finish, Lazio secured their victory in the 88th minute, ending the match at 5-1! Fisayo Dele-Bashiru delivered a fantastic left-footed strike to the top right corner, assisted by Nicolò Rovella.

Pedro’s exceptional performance, highlighted by two goals, secured him the “MVP” Panini Player of the match!


Pedro is overjoyed with his two goals that propelled Lazio to a 5-1 win. He’s even more excited about reclaiming fourth place, which brings in three vital points. The whole team put in a fantastic performance.

✅   Stats before the game:

Lazio remains unbeaten in their last five Serie A encounters with Monza, securing three wins and two draws. The only teams against which the Biancocelesti have had a longer streak without a loss in the league are Frosinone, Mantova, Reggiana, Sampierdarenese, and Spezia, none of which are part of the 2024/25 Serie A season.

Lazio is struggling at home against teams from Lombardy in Serie A, having failed to secure a win in their last six encounters (D3 L3). This is their worst performance since a nine-game winless streak from January 1985 to January 1990. However, they have managed to win two of their last three Serie A matches (L1), matching the number of victories they achieved in their previous seven games (D2 L3). The Biancocelesti haven’t won back-to-back Serie A matches since a five-game winning streak between October and November.

Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
AS Roma, 9th position with 31 points and a positive goal difference of +5
Venezia, 19th position with 16 points and a negative goal difference of -16

Venezia beaten by AS Roma in the Serie A Week 24 on Sunday, February 9, 2025, at the Pier Luigi Penzo Stadium in Venice, Italy. Roma celebrated a 1-0 victory over Venezia, marking their eighth consecutive positive result under Claudio Ranieri. The match was decided by a penalty from Paulo Dybala in the 57th minute.

With this win, Roma sits in ninth place in the standings with 34 points, trailing Juventus, who currently holds the fourth spot, by 7 points. The battle for European qualification is still on. Venezia finds itself second to last, 5 points behind Cagliari and Empoli, who are just above the relegation zone.

Di Francesco’s squad has drawn in crucial relegation battles against Verona, Parma, and Empoli, leaving them sitting second to last in the league standings.

Looking ahead, Venezia will face Genoa in a crucial relegation match at the Ferraris on Monday, February 17, while Roma will be on the road again, taking on Parma on Sunday, February 16, at 18:00.

The match…

Roma gained the advantage in the 57th minute when Argentine forward Paulo Dybala scored a penalty with a left-footed shot aimed at the bottom right corner. The penalty was awarded after Alessandro Marcandalli fouled Angeliño in the box. Dybala’s successful conversion left Venezia’s goalkeeper Andrei Radu with no chance. Although Roma struggled in the second half, Dybala’s penalty kick gave the Giallorossi a much-needed boost.

It’s great to see Paulo Dybala being recognized as the Panini Player of the Match—he truly earned it!

✅ Stats before the game.

The last four encounters between Venezia and Roma in Serie A have been quite even, featuring one victory for each team, two draws, and a total of seven goals scored by both sides. This comes after Roma had a strong run, winning six out of their previous seven matches against Venezia in the top division, with just one loss.

Venezia managed to secure a win in their latest league match against Roma at the Penzo, triumphing 3-2 on November 7, 2021. However, they have yet to achieve back-to-back home victories against the Giallorossi in Serie A.

Recently, Venezia has been solid at home, remaining unbeaten in four of their last five league games (1 win, 3 draws), with their latest match ending in a 1-1 draw against Hellas Verona. Notably, the Lagunari haven’t had two consecutive draws at the Penzo in Serie A since the stretch between October and November 2001, when they managed three draws under coach Giuseppe Iachini.

Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Torino, 11th position with 27 points and a negative goal difference of -3
Genoa, 12th position with 26 points and a negative goal difference of -11

Torino and Genoa ended the Serie A Week 24 game with a 1-1 draw on Saturday 8 February 2025 at the Olimpico di Torino Stadium in Turin, Italy. A point each that is good for Torino and Genoa who are increasingly distancing themselves from Lecce, Verona and Como. Their distance in the standings remains unchanged with the Granata always one point more than Vieira’s team. While waiting for the match against Napoli, Torino is now approaching Udinese at +1.

Statistical pill: Torino has remained unbeaten for seven games in a row in Serie A (1W, 6D) for the first time since the period between March and May 2019 (eight in that case with Walter Mazzarri).

Torino created several opportunities in the first half and eventually broke the deadlock from a corner, resulting in an own goal by Thorsby. In the second half, Genoa made some impactful substitutions with Messias and Zanoli coming on. The former Milan player quickly set up Pinamonti, who scored the equalizer. In the closing moments, Casadei, making his debut.  He missed a chance to secure the win. Protests in the 96th minute as Torino claimed two penalty incidents.

Next up, Torino will travel to face Bologna on Friday at 20:45, while Genoa will take on Venezia at home in the late match on Monday night.

Vanoli’s squad has remained unbeaten in the league for over a month, with their last loss being a 0-2 defeat to Bologna at home on December 21st. In contrast, Genoa’s recent performance has been mixed, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches. Thanks to their recent successes, particularly in crucial matches against Parma and Monza, Vieira’s team has managed to create some distance from the relegation zone.

The action starts …

Torino gained the advantage in the 45+2′ minute, right before the first half concluded. Morten Thorsby accidentally scored an own goal. After a corner taken by Lazaro, the ball bounced into the center, and Thorsby had no chance to react, redirecting it into his own goal.

Genoa leveled the score in the 67th minute when Andrea Pinamonti netted a right-footed shot into the bottom right corner. Junior Messias provided the assist after taking advantage of a slip-up by Coco. He passed the ball to Pinamonti, who skillfully controlled it before shooting. A deflection from Maripan helped the ball evade Leali, resulting in the equalizer.

✅   Stats before the game.

Torino are unbeaten in 12 of their last 13 Serie A games against Genoa (W8 D4): the Grifone’s only win in that period dates back to March 18, 2022 at the Ferraris.
>After the 0-0 draw in the first leg on December 7, Torino and Genoa could draw both Serie A games of the season for only the third time in their history: the previous two matches were in 2012/13 and 1982/83.

Torino have lost only one of their last 40 home games against Genoa in Serie A (W26 D13): 2-3 on May 24, 2009 with a brace from Diego Milito and a goal from Rubén Olivera for the Grifone with Gian Piero Gasperini as coach.

Torino are unbeaten in their last six league games (1W, 5D) and have not recorded at least seven consecutive matches without defeat in Serie A since the period between March and May 2019 (eight in that case with Walter Mazzarri at the helm).

Buy Serie A tickets

In the last two seasons (since 2023/24) no team has recorded more clean sheets at home than Torino in the top five European leagues: 17 out of 30 home games, equal with Real Madrid (in 29 matches).

Great balance in Genoa’s last nine games in Serie A: three wins, three draws and three defeats for the Grifone, with eight goals scored and eight conceded.

Torino is the team that has had the most players of different nationalities score (12) in this Serie A; considering the top five European leagues, only Monaco (13) has more than the Granata (tied with Brighton).

Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Atalanta, 3rd position with 47 points and a positive goal difference of +23
Hellas Verona, 13th position with 23 points and a negative goal difference of -22

Atalanta delivered a stunning performance against Verona in the Serie A Week 24 match on Saturday, February 8, 2025, held at the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium in Verona, Italy. They dominated the game, winning 5-0 without allowing any goals from their opponents. The standout player was forward Mateo Retegui, who netted an incredible four goals, reinforcing his position as the league’s top scorer with a total of 20 goals. With this victory, Atalanta has increased their lead over Juventus to +7 and is closing in on Inter and Napoli as they await the matches scheduled for tomorrow night.

The match was effectively decided in the first half, with Retegui scoring three times and Ederson adding another. In the second half, Retegui completed his hat trick. Although Verona started strong and had a few chances to score, they were unable to match the prowess of Gasperini’s squad.

Stats before the game

Atalanta has triumphed in six out of their last eight league encounters with Hellas Verona, recording one draw and one loss. They have netted a total of 18 goals during this stretch, averaging 2.3 goals per match. The only victory for Hellas Verona in this timeframe was on April 18, 2022, when they won 2-1 at the Gewiss Stadium.

Hellas Verona has managed to secure just one point from their last six home matches against Atalanta in the league, suffering defeats in their last four encounters. This is a stark contrast to their previous success, where they won five consecutive games at the Bentegodi against Atalanta in Serie A.

In their most recent league match, Hellas Verona emerged victorious against Monza. However, they haven’t managed to win back-to-back games in Serie A since March 2024, when they defeated Sassuolo and Lecce. The Scaligeri are also aiming to achieve three consecutive matches without a loss in a single season for the first time since late 2023, when they recorded three draws.

👉 Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Empoli, 16th position with 21 points and a negative goal difference of -11
AC Milan, 8th position with 35 points and a positive goal difference of +9

AC Milan secured a victory in their Serie A Week 24 match against Empoli on Saturday, February 8, 2025, at the Carlo Castellani Stadium in Empoli, Italy. This loss is particularly hard for Empoli as they inch closer to the relegation zone. For Milan, this marks their second consecutive win across both the Coppa Italia and Serie A, allowing them to rise to seventh place, temporarily surpassing Bologna, who will be facing Lecce tomorrow. They are now just five points behind fourth-placed Juventus, with a game in hand, while keeping an eye on Lazio and Fiorentina, who could potentially move ahead of Juventus in the standings.

✅  A noteworthy highlight: Santiago Giménez has made history as the first Mexican player to score for AC Milan.

On the other hand, Empoli has slipped to seventeenth place, now behind Cagliari on goal difference. Cagliari will be playing against Parma tomorrow, who are just one point below them. With this defeat, Empoli has extended their winless streak to nine matches, consisting of seven losses and two draws.

Sergio Conceiçao’s squad is coming off a win in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals against Roma, following a draw in the derby against Inter. In their previous encounter on November 30, Milan, then under Paulo Fonseca, triumphed over Empoli with a 3-0 scoreline, featuring two goals from Reijnders and one from Morata, who has since transferred to Galatasaray. Both teams have different goals but share the urgent need for three points.

The home side is striving for survival, a challenge made tougher by their recent performances, as Roberto D’Aversa’s team has not celebrated a victory in two months, suffering six losses and two draws. Currently, they sit just one point above the relegation zone, but a win today would allow them to leapfrog Como, Verona, and Lecce, who are set to play against Bologna tomorrow.

AC Milan took the lead in the 68th minute thanks to Rafael Leão, who scored with a well-placed header into the bottom left corner. The assist came from Christian Pulisic, who sprinted to the right and delivered a cross to the far post, allowing Leão to clinch the win.

Santiago Giménez found the back of the net with a stunning left-footed shot into the top left corner, thanks to an assist from Christian Pulisic. Maignan sent a long pass that Pulisic skillfully gathered before delivering it to the Mexican striker. Giménez took control, shifted back onto his left foot, and expertly placed the ball past Vasquez into the far post. This marks a historic achievement as Santiago Giménez becomes the first Mexican player to score for AC Milan.

✅   Stats before the game:

Milan has triumphed in seven out of their last eight Serie A matches against Empoli, with one draw, netting a total of 18 goals during this stretch, averaging 2.3 goals per game while allowing just three. They have also maintained a clean sheet in their last four league encounters with Empoli, with only a longer streak of five consecutive clean sheets against Pisa from 1988 to 1991.

Interestingly, Empoli has faced Milan more times at home in Serie A without securing a win—16 matches resulting in 7 draws and 9 losses. Conversely, the Rossoneri have only faced SPAL more often away without a loss, with 16 matches against Empoli. In the last eight Serie A fixtures since matchday 16, Empoli has struggled, earning just two points and conceding the highest number of goals at 18.

Milan have lost their last two away games in Serie A and the Champions League (against Juventus and Dinamo Zagreb), the Rossoneri have not recorded consecutive away defeats in all competitions since the period between April and May 2015 (three in that case, under Filippo Inzaghi).

Milan have conceded in each of their last six league games, after having kept a clean sheet in four of their previous five; the last time the Rossoneri conceded in seven consecutive matches in a single tournament dates back to the period between November 2022 and February 2023.
