Standings:

  • Empoli – 10th Position with 19 Points.

Torino is a formidable team, but their recent games have produced lower performance results. In their past five games, Torino has faced two ties and three losses without a single winning game, leading fans to be dissatisfied with their recent gameplay. Still, key player Che Adams has confidence in his team’s ability to bring back their team in this upcoming game against Empoli and raise their standing.

Empoli is also known to be one of the strong teams in Serie A and stands tenth with results of 4 wins, 7 ties, and 4 losses. After facing the 3-0 crushing defeat against AC Milan, Empoli improved their performance and claimed a clear 1-4 win in the next game against Verona.

Cagliari vs Atalanta

Standings:

  • Atalanta – 1st Position with 34 Points.
  • Cagliari – 15th Position with 14 Points.

Cagliari is going through a tough phase as they struggling rise to the top in standing with their inconsistent win record and higher loss count. They stand 15th with a record of 3 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses. In the past five games, Cagliari performed below average against the opponent, which affected their standing. In their previous match against Fiorentina, Cagliari had a crushing defeat of 1-0 score. But still, fans hold faith in Cagliari as they hold key player Razvan Marin, who scored well against Atalanta in his past eight meetings.

Atalanta is one of the leading teams in Serie A and claimed the first position in standing with their unbeatable record. With a nine consecutive win streak record, Atalanta proved their potential to be this season’s Serie A championship. Still, they hold tough rival teams like Inter, Napoli, and Fiorentina, and fans are expecting great games from Atalanta in the upcoming matchday games. While being successful in Serie A, Atalanta lost their previous match in the Champions League, but they are ready to regain momentum in this Matchday 16 game. Comparing both teams’ performances, Atalanta holds a higher chance of winning the upcoming match.

Udinese vs Napoli

On December 14, 2024, the Matchday 16 game between Udinese and Napoli is ready to play with high expectations. Their clash will be at Bluenergy Stadium – Stadio Friuli (Udine).

Standings:

  • Napoli – 2nd Position with 32 Points.
  • Udinese – 9th Position with 20 Points.

Napoli is the second top contributing team in 2024-25 Serie A with 10 wins, 2 ties, and 3 losses. They stand next to Atalanta, and there is a two-point difference between them. Fans expect Napoli to catch up with their rival team to claim the peak position by winning the upcoming matchday games. Their planned win streak was broken with a previous game’s loss against Lazio. It disappointed their fans and made them expect a quick recovery in the upcoming match against the Udinese. Napoli holds Scott McTominay (Midfielder), who gives the best to this team, solidifying their faith.

On the other hand, the Udinese are struggling to find their way in the race to claim the 2024-25 Serie A Championship. Udinese stands ninth with 6 wins, 2 ties, and 7 losses in 15 games. As they face a higher loss count with leisure gameplay against opponents, fans expect a change in gameplay from Udinese in upcoming games. And in the past five games, they broke the unsuccessful streak with a previous victory with Monza. As they regained a new flow, fans expect them to give a similar, better game in the next game against Napoli to secure their position. Even though Udinese has Jaka Bijol to support his team, Napoli holds a higher advantage in winning this game.

Juventus vs Venezia

Juventus and Venezia are ready to play their Matchday 16 game of the 2024-25 Serie A on December 15, 2024, at Allianz Stadium (Turin).

Standings:

  • Juventus – 6th Position with 27 Points.
  • Venezia – 20th Position with 9 Points.

Juventus still maintains its undefeated record in this Serie A season. After 15 games, Juventus has six wins and nine draws without any losses. This makes them one of the toughest teams in Serie A. However, without increasing the win ratio, Juventus may lose against its rival to claim the 2024-25 Serie A championship.

This season, Venezia is the least-performing team and stands at the bottom with a lower score record. Fans hold faith in their favorite team to turn the tides in upcoming games, but each goes with its underwhelming performance. Hans Nicolussi Caviglia plans to lead his team in the upcoming game, but Juventus will be claiming the victory over Venezia.

Lecce vs Monza

Standings:

  • Lecce – 16th Position with 13 Points.
  • Monza – 19th Position with 10 Points.

Lecce is ready to change their game formation in the upcoming match against Monza. Their key player, Nikola Krstovic, plays forward to lead his team. He contributed for the team in the last two appearances, which gives the team faith to hope the upcoming game against Monza will side with Lecce. They need to cover every upcoming game to achieve their goal of claiming the peak position.

Similarly, Monza is struggling to rise to the top of this Serie A season with its leisure performance and underwhelming results. In its past five games, Monza has failed to win against its opponent and has two ties and three losses. This has caused its fans to be extremely disappointed in Monza. Comparing both teams’ previous games and stats, Lecce has higher odds of winning the game.

Bologna vs Fiorentina

On December 15, 2024, the highly expected game between Bologna and Fiorentina are ready to play their Serie A game at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara (Bologna).

Standings:

  • Fiorentina – 4th Position with 31 Points.
  • Bologna – 8th Position with 22 Points.

Bologna struggled to rise above rival teams due to their unstable win results in Serie A games. In the past five games of Serie A, Bologna has held 3 wins, 1 tie, and 1 loss. Along with Serie A, Bologna plays in the Champions League and Coppa Italia. Even with inconsistent results, Bologna is one of the most formidable teams in Serie A and holds the potential to improve their standing by winning the upcoming games. But their recent match with Benfica disappointed fans as they ended up in a scoreless tie. Still, Bologna planned to dominate their opponent with key players like Santiago Castro and Tommaso Pobega.

Fiorentina is preparing to beat down their opponent in standing with their steady victory games in Serie A. Fiorentina is also the top contributing team with a record of 9 wins, 4 ties, and one loss in their 14 games. They hold points similar to their rival Inter and a score difference to beat Atalanta from the first position. Like Bologna, Fiorentina plays in Serie A, Conference League, and Coppa Italia. In their head-to-head games against Bologna, Fiorentina had a lesser win ratio in the past five games. In the last match, Bologna dominated them and scored a 2-0 win. It increases the anticipation around this game among fans expecting a thrilling game. The match may end in a tie as both teams are equal in their offense and defense.

Parma vs Verona

Parma and Verona are ready to play their Matchday 16 Serie A game on December 15, 2024, at Stadio Ennio Tardini (Parma).

Standings:

  • Parma – 13th Position with 15 Points.
  • Verona – 18th Position with 12 Points.

While in the middle of the standings, Parma pushes its limits to move forward, but its underwhelming performance against its opponent makes it stand without change. Still, Parma gave some strong performances against Lazio and Venezia, which raised the expectations for the upcoming game against Verona.

Verona plans to break the chain of defeat in their upcoming game against Parma. Verona held four consecutive losses after the win game against AS Roma, dragging them down on standing. Still, Daniel Mosquera holds fans’ faith in leading his team forward and claiming victory against Parma, but Verona holds lesser odds of winning than their opponents.

Como vs Roma

In this upcoming Matchday 16 games of 2024-25 Serie A, Como and Roma are preparing to play their game on December 15, 2024, at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia (Como).

  • Como – 17th Position with 12 Points.

AS Roma played well against Lecce in the previous game, winning with a high score of 4-1. Without losing their momentum, AS Roma won the Europa League game against Braga with complete dominance of 3-0. This raises their expectations high for the upcoming match against Como, and their victory will change the standings order.

In contrast, Como has struggled to win a single game in recent weeks and is facing continuous ties and losses. This places them further down the table, risking their chances of rising above. Fans expect Como to utilize the upcoming game against AS Roma, but comparing both teams’ recent stats and performance, AS Roma will claim the victory.

AC Milan vs Genoa

AC Milan and Genoa are ready to play their Serie A Matchday 16 game on December 16, 2024, at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan).

Standings:

  • AC Milan – 7th Position with 22 Points.
  • Genoa – 14th Position with 15 Points.

Genoa is a formidable team in Serie A, but its recent games have been below average, with 3 wins, 6 ties, and 6 losses in 15 games. Fans believe their favorite team will rise above in upcoming games, but its unstable win record places it at a huge disadvantage in their ranking. Andrea Pinamonti is a key player in Genoa who is ready to lead his team toward a win in the upcoming game against AC Milan.

AC Milan failed to create a winning streak in Serie A by losing against Atalanta. But without losing their form, Milan gave its best game performance against Crvena Zvezda in the Champions League. Following this, Tammy Abraham is preparing to score more for his team to move them forward in the standings. With a solid team build, AC Milan is planning to win the upcoming game against Genoa without losing.

Lazio vs Inter

Standings:

  • Inter – 3rd Position with 31 Points.
  • Lazio – 5th Position with 31 Points.

Lazio lost its peak position with its leisure gameplay in the past few games and now stands in fifth place with a similar point score to Fiorentina and Inter. They hold the record of 10 wins, 1 tie, and 4 losses in 15 games of Serie A. Lazio also performed well in the Europa League and Coppa Italia. It allows them to improve their formation and gameplay to rise above, even in tough situations. Gustav Isaksen is a key player in Lazio, leading his team to drive out their potential. In this upcoming game against Inter, Lazio plans to turn the tides and reclaim their first position.

Inter plans to extend its win streak with the upcoming game against Lazio. Inter showed solid gameplay and claimed the third position with a record of nine wins, four draws, and one loss. But their recent Champions League game against Bayer Leverkusen failed to score 1-0. Fans expect them to regain momentum with the upcoming match in Serie A. Henrikh Mkhitaryan is a solid player who assisted two goals for his team, and fans expect his performance in this game against Lazio. While comparing both teams’ lineup and their stats, Inter holds the higher advantage in this game while Lazio is struggling in their games.
