Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Lazio, 5th position with 36 points and a positive goal difference of +6
Hellas Verona, 17th position with 19 points and a negative goal difference of -20

The Serie A match on Sunday, January 19, 2025, between Hellas Verona and Lazio at the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium is steeped in emotion. This game marks Hellas Verona’s first under new ownership and failed to secure their first victory of 2025 against their former coach, Marco Baroni.  Verona faced another tough defeat at the Bentegodi, suffering a heavy loss to Lazio.

Verona were once again let down by significant defensive mistakes, with Gigot scoring from a header and Dia easily finding the net during a counterattack in the first half. In the second half, Zaccagni capitalized on a defensive error to add to the score. Zanetti’s squad only showed some fight in the last five minutes of the first half, creating three solid opportunities but failing to convert any. Now, Zanetti’s team is gearing up for two crucial away matches against Venezia and Monza. Meanwhile, Lazio celebrates their victory and holds a two-point lead over Juventus.

Lazio got off to a quick start, scoring just two minutes into the match. It was a fantastic early advantage for the Biancocelesti. Samuel Gigot found the net with a close-range header, thanks to a perfect cross from Mattia Zaccagni after Ondrej Duda conceded a corner. The header from the Biancocelesti center made its way past goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipò!

Lazio continues to apply pressure, and they find the back of the net again in the 21st minute. Boulaye Dia fires a left-footed shot into the bottom left corner, thanks to an assist from Mattéo Guendouzi. Following a free kick for Verona, the Biancocelesti launch a stunning counterattack! Guendouzi delivers a precise central pass, exploiting a gap in the Gialloblu defense, and Dia, after targeting Tchatchoua, takes a shot at Montipò!

In the 58th minute, Lazio strikes again! Mattia Zaccagni finds the back of the net with a right-footed shot aimed at the top left corner. Boulaye Dia provides the assist. The yellow and blue defense makes another mistake, allowing Dia to capitalize on the opportunity. He sets up Zaccagni perfectly in front of Montipò, who can’t stop the shot as it goes past him!

✅ Stats before the game

Following their 2-1 victory in the first leg on September 16, Lazio has the chance to secure wins in both of their Serie A matches against Hellas Verona this season, something they haven’t accomplished since the 2017/18 season. Lazio has been quite dominant, remaining unbeaten in 16 of their last 18 encounters with Hellas Verona in Serie A (10 wins and 6 draws), including the last six matches where they have won three and drawn three. The last time Hellas Verona triumphed over Lazio in the league was on October 24, 2021, when they won 4-1 at home under coach Igor Tudor.

Hellas Verona has not lost in their last three Serie A matches at the Bentegodi against Lazio, with one win and two draws. The last two encounters ended in draws, and the only time these teams have drawn three straight matches at the Scaligeri’s home was between 1975 and 1978.

Hellas Verona has struggled to find the net in four of their last six home league games, including their most recent matches against Milan and Udinese. The last instance of them going scoreless in three consecutive games at the Bentegodi in Serie A was from March to April 2021, with one of those matches being against Lazio.

Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Parma, 15th position with 19 points and a negative goal difference of -10
Venezia, 19th position with 14 points and a negative goal difference of -15

👉 Parma and Venezia ended the Serie A Week 21 with a draw on Sunday, 19 January 2025 at the Ennio Tardini Stadium in Parma, Italy.  Venezia managed to secure a draw in Parma, largely due to their goalkeeper’s outstanding performance. The Venetians have now accumulated 15 points but still find themselves in second-to-last place in the standings. In their next match, they will face Hellas Verona in an all-Venetian derby at the Penzo stadium. Parma, on the other hand, continues its unbeaten streak against Venezia in Serie A.

This draw allows the ducal team to rise to 15th place with a total of 20 points. In their upcoming match, Pecchia’s squad will take on Milan at San Siro. Notably, the duel between Camara and Stankovic was a highlight, with the 22-year-old talent successfully thwarting all of the Parma midfielder’s scoring attempts. Stankovic, a gem from the Inter academy, was recognized as the best player on the field once again.

Venezia got on the scoreboard first in the 20th minute when Joel Pohjanpalo successfully converted a penalty with a right-footed shot aimed at the center. The penalty was awarded after Mandela Keita fouled John Yeboah. Pohjanpalo placed the ball to the right, leaving Suzuki off balance. This marked his sixth goal of the season.

Parma brought the score to 1-1 in the 56th minute when Hernani successfully converted a penalty, sending a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner. The penalty was awarded after Antonio Candela fouled Drissa Camara.

✅ Stats before the game

Parma has maintained an unbeaten streak against Venezia in their last seven Serie A encounters, with five wins and two draws. Among the teams they have never lost to in the league, only Cremonese has faced them more times, with eight matches played.

Parma has triumphed in their last five Serie A games against Venezia, netting a total of 13 goals during this stretch, averaging 2.6 goals per match. Their record against Bari stands as the only instance of more consecutive victories in the top division, with six wins from 1999 to 2009.

Venezia has managed to score in each of their three away matches against Parma in Serie A, they have only secured one point from these games, having scored four goals compared to Parma’s seven. The two teams are set to clash again at the Tardini after a long gap of 22 years and 259 days, with their last meeting on May 5, 2002, ending in a 2-1 victory for Parma.

Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Lecce, 14th position with 20 points and a negative goal difference of -18
Cagliari, 18th position with 17 points and a negative goal difference of -14

What a thrilling encounter! Cagliari triumphed over Lecce in a spectacular fashion during Serie A Week 21 on Sunday, January 19, 2025, at the Unipol Domus in Cagliari, Italy. Cagliari’s performance was nothing short of a knockout, as they secured three vital points in their quest for safety. Lecce initially took the lead with a goal from Pierotti in the 42nd minute, but they seemed to fade in the second half. Cagliari made a dramatic comeback, with Gaetano equalizing in the 60th minute, followed by Luperto’s goal just five minutes later. Zortea completed a hat-trick with his strike in the 80th minute, and Obert added another in the 83rd minute. Lecce ended the match with ten players after Rebic received a red card in the 73rd minute.

Looking ahead, Cagliari will be playing away against Torino, while Lecce will take on Inter at home.

Lecce gained the upper hand in the 42nd minute when Santiago Pierotti found the net with a left-footed strike into the bottom left corner. The play started with a cross from Morente that was deflected by Zappa, allowing Pierotti to come in from behind and score with a precise angled shot from inside the box.

Cagliari brought the score to 1-1 in the 60th minute when Gianluca Gaetano found the back of the net with a right-footed shot aimed at the top left corner, assisted by Alessandro Deiola.

Cagliari turned the game around in the 65th minute when Sebastiano Luperto scored from just a few feet away, placing the ball into the bottom left corner for a 2-1 lead. The goal was set up by Razvan Marin, who delivered a cross after a corner kick that was given away by goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone.

Chaos for Lecce! Cagliari is just rocking!

In the 85th minute, it’s all Cagliari party!!! Adam Obert sealed a poker with a left footed shot to the top left corner. The assist is by Razvan Marin.

✅ Stats before the game.

Lecce has not lost in their last six Serie A encounters with Cagliari, boasting two wins and four draws. The only time the Salento team has had a longer unbeaten streak in the top division was against Siena from 2004 to 2009, where they went seven matches without a loss. Following their 1-0 victory in the first leg on August 31, Lecce has the chance to achieve a double over Cagliari this season for the first time in Serie A history.

On the other hand, Cagliari has been strong at home against Lecce, remaining unbeaten in nine out of ten home matches (five wins and four draws), with the last two ending in draws. The last time Lecce managed to win away against Cagliari in this league was back on February 26, 2012, when they triumphed 2-1 at Sant’Elia under coach Serse Cosmi.

Recently, Cagliari has struggled at Unipol Domus, losing their last two league matches without scoring. The last time they faced three consecutive home defeats in a single Serie A season was in March-April 2022. If they fail to score in their next home game, it would mark the first time since November-December 2012 that they have gone three home matches without a goal in the top flight.

👉 Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Fiorentina, 7th position with 32 points and a positive goal difference of +12
Torino, 12th position with 22 points and a negative goal difference of -5

Fiorentina is on a fast track to secure a spot in the European zone. Yet, the Serie A Week 21 ended with a draw on Sunday, January 19, 2025, at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence, Italy. Fiorentina found themselves tied at 1-1 with Torino, even with an extra player after Ali Dembele’s red card. Moise Kean initially put Torino ahead, but Gineitis managed to level the score following a significant mistake by Comuzzo, who lost possession during the build-up.

Torino Coach Vanoli suspended, Godinho on the bench.

Torino is down to 10 players now. In the 33rd minute, Ali Dembélé received his second yellow card for a foul on Michael Folorunsho.

Fiorentina went ahead in the 38th minute when Moise Kean found the net with a powerful header into the top right corner. Colpani delivered a fantastic volley into the box, and while Milinkovic Savic managed to stop Torino’s efforts, he was helpless against the Italian international’s headed finish!

Torino leveled the score at 1-1 in the 70th minute when Gvidas Gineitis found the back of the net with a right-footed shot into the bottom right corner. It was a glaring mistake by the Fiorentina defense, as Comuzzo misplayed the ball just outside the area, allowing the granata to capitalize and score!  Gineitis, a Lithuanian midfielder born in 2004, scored his first goal in Serie A and as a professional player. He was brought to Italy by Ruggero Ludergnani, who was a skilled youth sector manager at Spal.

✅ Stats before the game

Torino has achieved 50 victories against Fiorentina in Serie A (D51 L50), making them the team with the most wins in this matchup. However, the Granata have only managed to secure two wins in their last 10 encounters with the Viola (D3 L5). On the other hand, Fiorentina has successfully kept a clean sheet in their last three Serie A matches against Torino (W2 D1), matching the number of clean sheets they had in the previous 14 games.

The Viola hasn’t recorded four consecutive clean sheets against the Granata since the period from February 1968 to October 1969. After an impressive streak of eight straight Serie A victories (as seen in 1960), Fiorentina is currently without a win in their last five league matches (D1 L4), marking their worst performance since January to February 2023, when they went six games without a win (four losses and a draw).

Buy Serie A tickets

Additionally, Fiorentina has lost their last two home Serie A matches, equaling the number of defeats they had in their previous 21 games (W13 D6), and they haven’t experienced a worse home stretch since suffering three consecutive losses between January and February 2005.

Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Napoli, 1st position with 47 points and a positive goal difference of +20
Atalanta, 3rd position with 43 points and a positive goal difference of +23

Napoli triumphed over Atalanta with a score of 3-2 in the Serie A Week 21 match held on Saturday, January 18, 2025, at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, Italy. This victory marks Napoli’s sixth straight win in the league, solidifying their top position with 50 points, while Atalanta remains in third place with 43 points. Napoli is clearly leading the charge for the Scudetto, leaving the other teams trailing behind.

Retegui opened the scoring in the 16th minute, followed by Politano’s goal in the 27th minute, and McTominay extended the lead in the 40th minute. In the second half, Lookman leveled the score with a brilliant individual effort in the 55th minute, but Lukaku netted the winning goal with a header in the 78th minute, assisted twice by Anguissa.

Looking ahead, Atalanta will travel to Como for their next match, while Napoli will host Juventus.

The action starts…

Atalanta opened the scoring in the 16th minute when Mateo Retegui found the back of the net with a powerful left-footed shot into the top left corner. Napoli’s goalkeeper, Alex Meret, had no chance to stop it. The ball came to Retegui after a rebound, and he skillfully placed it under the crossbar from inside the area.

Napoli leveled the score at 1-1 in the 27th minute. Matteo Politano found the back of the net with a powerful left-footed shot aimed at the upper center. After a cross from Neres was deflected by Djimsiti, Politano skillfully controlled the ball in the box and struck it past goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi with a left-footed effort just beneath the crossbar.

Napoli turned the game around to take the advantage. In the 40th minute, Scott McTominay found the net with a powerful right-footed shot aimed at the top center. Frank Anguissa provided the assist. The play began with a clever backheel from Neres, followed by Anguissa’s setup, allowing McTominay to score past Carnesecchi from the heart of the box.

Amazing! The game is heating up once more. Atalanta has leveled the score to 2-2 in the 55th minute. Ademola Lookman found the net with a left-footed strike into the bottom right corner. Lookman showcased his skills by dancing past Di Lorenzo, making his way into the box, and firing a left-footed shot into the corner, leaving Meret with no opportunity to save it.

Bim, bam, boom! Napoli has done it again, turning the game around in the 78th minute. Romelu Lukaku, the Belgian forward, found the back of the net with a powerful header right in the center. The assist came from Frank Anguissa, who delivered a perfect cross for Lukaku to nod in from just a few steps away from the goal.

Stats before the game

Atalanta has secured victories in their last two Serie A encounters with Napoli, both ending in a 3–0 scoreline. The last time the Bergamo side managed to win three consecutive matches against the Partenopei was from April 1997 to February 1998, when they achieved three straight 1–0 victories under coach Emiliano Mondonico. However, Atalanta has faced challenges at home, losing their last three Serie A matches against Napoli, marking the longest losing streak at home against a single opponent in this competition.

The last time they experienced four or more consecutive home losses was against Juventus, spanning from January 2005 to March 2016, totaling nine defeats before Gian Piero Gasperini took charge.

Buy Serie A tickets

Atalanta are unbeaten in their last 15 league matches (11W, 4D), but have drawn all of their last three; only between January and July 2020 have the Bergamo team collected more consecutive games without defeat (17 in that case – 13W, 4D) and they have not drawn four consecutive games since the period between April and May 2015.

Atalanta have scored in all of their last 25 home games in Serie A (63 goals, 2.5 on average per game), already a record streak for the Bergamo team in the competition; only Inter (32) have a longer open streak of home games with goals.

Napoli have won their last five Serie A games, the three most recent without conceding a goal; under Antonio Conte, the Neapolitans have never gone beyond three clean sheets in a row, nor beyond five consecutive wins.

Napoli have won seven of their first 10 away games this season (D2 L1) and have only twice won more than seven of their first 11 away games of the season: 10 in 2017/18, when they finished in second place, and nine in 2022/23, the season they won their last Scudetto.

Player Stats

Mateo Retegui has made quite an impact in Serie A, netting 20 goals since he started competing last season, which is the highest tally for any Italian player during that time. Specifically, he has scored 13 goals in just 18 matches this season. The last Atalanta player to achieve a better single-season record was Cristiano Doni back in 2001/02, who scored 16 goals.

Meanwhile, in his last two league matches, Romelu Lukaku has contributed one goal against Fiorentina and assisted two others—one against Fiorentina and another against Hellas Verona. Notably, the Napoli striker has only managed to score in three consecutive Serie A games once before, during February and March 2021 with Inter, where he set a personal best of four.
