The Italian top-flight will continue this weekend with a round of games that will keep fans glued to their TV sets and mobile devices. The title race is heating up now more than ever, and there could be some real nail-biters to watch in this competition.
Both Milan-based teams will gather most of the attention, as they are currently first (Milan) and second (Inter). Close to them, Napoli will try to build up on the ego boost that came after that draw against Barcelona in the UEFA Europa League, while other teams such as Juventus, Roma, Atalanta, and Lazio continue to their struggle to finish the competition among the top five.
On the other side of the table, teams such as Cagliari, Genoa, and Venezia will want to add more points to their tally in their quest to avoid relegation. Added to these clubs, last-placed Salernitana will have to work extra time this weekend, as they are set to face none others than Milan.
These are the main talking points and more stuff to keep in mind before the ball starts moving in Serie A pitches.
League standings ahead of Matchweek 26 in the Italian Serie A
Milan took advantage of Inter's draw against Napoli to take over as the league leaders last weekend, although that could change once the league decides what will happen with Inter's game in hand. The nerazzurri are still in contention to revalidate their title, but they should return to winning ways this weekend to do so. Napoli are third with only two points less than those owned by Milan, which give them a comfortable lead over Juventus and Napoli, who complete the top five.
