The 21st round of Serie A action continues on Sunday, January 19, and Monday, January 20. All eyes are on Inter, set to face Empoli in the evening fixture at San Siro. The Nerazzurri were left frustrated after a 2-2 draw with Bologna in the rescheduled 19th-round match, missing the chance to close the gap to just one point behind league leaders Napoli.
The day kicks off at 12:30 PM with Fiorentina-Torino, a clash between two teams struggling to match their early-season form. Fiorentina comes off a heavy defeat to Monza, while Torino shows signs of improvement following a 1-1 draw in the derby against Juventus.
At 3:00 PM, two pivotal games for the relegation battle take center stage. Parma-Venezia is a crucial showdown, especially for the visitors, who trail their hosts by five points. Parma, after a strong start to the season, has hit a rough patch. Meanwhile, Cagliari-Lecce sees two revitalized teams face off: both have earned four points from their last two matches, with Lecce benefiting from the impact of new coach Marco Giampaolo.

At 6:00 PM, Marco Baroni faces his recent past as his Lazio travels to the "Bentegodi" to take on Hellas Verona. The Biancocelesti are navigating a challenging period after a draw against Como and a derby loss to Roma. Verona, on the other hand, is looking to bounce back from a 2-0 defeat to Napoli in front of their home fans.
The matchday concludes with Como-Udinese on Monday evening at the "Sinigaglia." Como, a standout in the winter transfer window, has impressed with recent performances against Lazio and Milan, though they’ve only managed one point from those games. Udinese, winless in four matches, remains comfortably positioned in the standings but seeks a turnaround to regain momentum.
