The Italian top-flight will keep fans interested in what goes on in every game this weekend as Milan and Inter go toe-to-toe for the top spot. A little further behind, Napoli will want to recover the top spot they owned for over ten weeks after securing their spot in the next stage of the UEFA Europa League, while also being wary of what other teams such as Atalanta can do.
Elsewhere in the league, the battle to avoid relegation will also grant us a chance to watch Genoa, Sampdoria or Cagliari fighting to end the year in better form than the one shown recently, especially with two of these teams ready to lock horns this weekend. Added to that, teams such as Juventus and Roma will continue their intense battle to return to the spots they once owned with key matches for both giants that have fallen in disgrace.
Either way, all teams in the tournament will have something to hope for this weekend, which is why we want you to get ready for what should be an interesting weekend.
League standings ahead of Matchweek 17 in the Italian Serie A
Milan top the league thanks to Napoli's slip-up, but even if the Partenopei are struggling right now, their inner city rivals and current defending champions Inter are still very much in the title race, trailing the rossoneri by just one point. The top four is completed by Atalanta, who will surely try to make ammends with their fans after their early exit from the UEFA Champions League with a win that could see them climb to third. The top five is completed by Juventus, who are seven points behind the fourth place and will want to keep their distance against Roma or Lazio, who could knock them off their current spot if they are unable to win this weekend.
