The Serie A schedule for Sunday, December 1, and Monday, December 2, promises plenty of excitement, especially at the top of the table. Matchday 14 features fixtures that could reshape the standings for several clubs vying for prime positions. Undoubtedly, the standout game of this weekend straddling November and December is Fiorentina vs. Inter. With just one loss all season, seven consecutive wins, and sitting just one point behind Napoli, Fiorentina boasts an impressive record. However, Raffaele Palladino’s squad faces a tough challenge. Inter, performing brilliantly in the Champions League, is now a formidable force. Both teams are level on points and have powerful attacks, promising a thrilling encounter.
League leaders Napoli face a challenging trip to Torino. The most recent clash between these teams ended in a 3-0 victory for Torino, but current form suggests a different outcome. Without Zapata, Vanoli’s side has struggled to score, while Antonio Conte’s Napoli, benefiting from one match a week, is consistently well-prepared for every fixture.
Juventus, fresh off a 0-0 draw in Birmingham against Aston Villa, travels to Lecce. Thiago Motta's squad is dealing with numerous injuries at a crucial stage of the season, while Lecce has picked up seven points in their last five games, proving to be a tough opponent.
Elsewhere, Genoa seeks crucial points against an Udinese side that has faltered after a strong start to the campaign. At the "Tardini," Parma and Lazio are expected to deliver plenty of goals and entertainment. The Biancocelesti have surprisingly climbed into the top spots despite a major summer overhaul.
The round concludes on Monday night with Roma vs. Atalanta, a showdown featuring star strikers Artem Dovbyk and Mateo Retegui. The Giallorossi haven’t won in nearly a month, while Atalanta boasts the best form in Serie A alongside Fiorentina, collecting 25 points in their last 10 matches.
