Relegation fights and European ambitions: Cagliari vs. Verona kicks off a crucial round, with Milan and Empoli set to light up San Siro

The 14th round of Serie A will unfold over four days, from Friday, November 29, to Monday, December 2. It begins with a highly charged encounter between Cagliari and Verona. Both teams are battling near the bottom of the table, adding extra intensity to the match. Cagliari sits just outside the relegation zone with 11 points from 13 games, enduring a tough spell with only two points collected in their last five outings. Their sole victory came at the Domus Arena against Torino (3-2) on October 20. Verona, just one point ahead, faces a similarly tough situation. They have managed only one win in their last five matches - a home victory over Roma - and have struggled on the road, earning just three points away from the "Bentegodi."

Saturday’s opener, Como vs. Monza, is another clash with high stakes. Both teams are mired in the relegation zone, separated by just one point. Neither side has secured a win in their recent fixtures, underlining their poor form. Como has shown greater consistency between home and away performances, while Monza remains the only team in the league with just one victory all season.

Later, Milan will host Empoli at San Siro after their win in Bratislava. The Rossoneri are looking to extend their unbeaten run to four matches despite recent draws with Cagliari and Juventus. Facing them is an Empoli side excelling on the road, with nine of their 16 points coming from away matches.

Saturday night’s primetime match will feature Bologna against Venezia, who sit at the bottom of the table. Bologna is seeking redemption after a 3-0 loss to Lazio and a 2-1 Champions League defeat to Lille. Meanwhile, despite three consecutive narrow losses, Venezia has shown improvement in their overall play and will look to build on this momentum.
