The intense Serie A schedule shows no signs of slowing down. Just after the thrilling 4-4 Derby d’Italia between Inter and Juventus and the close of Matchday 9, the league quickly resumes with the first midweek fixtures of the 2024-2025 season.
The midweek action kicks off with a must-watch showdown: league leaders Napoli head to San Siro to face Fonseca’s AC Milan. Conte’s squad, capitalizing on the Inter-Juve draw, has extended their lead to +4 and +5 over the reigning champions and Juventus, respectively. A victory at the Meazza would further cement Napoli’s position as the main challenger to Inzaghi’s Inter. Milan, meanwhile, returns to action after a forced break due to their postponed Bologna fixture, aiming for a crucial win to revive their Scudetto hopes. The Rossoneri may have slipped down the standings but are just three points behind third-placed Juventus with a game in hand. Gasperini’s Atalanta is also in the chase, trailing Juventus by one point and Inter by two after a dominant win over Hellas Verona.
Atalanta will face Monza on Wednesday, while Inter heads to Empoli and Juventus hosts Pecchia’s Parma. Thursday will feature action from both Roman clubs and Palladino’s high-scoring Fiorentina, who have netted an impressive 11 goals in their last two league matches. The Viola will visit Gilardino’s Genoa, Lazio will travel to Como, and Roma, after their collapse in Florence, return to the Olimpico to host Torino. With tensions running high in the Roma camp, all eyes will be on who takes the bench for Thursday night’s match.
