Como 2-0 Sassuolo
Como have stayed undefeated at home this season (4 wins, 1 draw) by securing a 2-0 win against Sassuolo, who are experiencing their second-longest Serie A winless streak away from home, having not won any of their last 11 away league matches (3 draws, 8 losses).

Napoli 3-3 AS Roma
AS Roma extended their unbeaten run in Serie A this season (5 wins, 3 draws) in a thrilling match, coming from behind twice to secure a 3-3 draw against Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Meanwhile, Parma suffered their sixth consecutive away defeat in the top division, marking only the fourth time this has happened in their history.
Inter 2-1 Fiorentina
Inter Milan staged an impressive comeback in stoppage time to secure a 2-1 victory over Fiorentina at the San Siro, extending their unbeaten streak in Serie A to eight matches this season (7 wins, 1 draw). Consequently, they have climbed to the top of the Serie A standings, tied with Lazio and four points ahead of their closest rivals, while Fiorentina remain in 18th place.
Genoa 1-0 Venezia
Genoa narrowly secured a hard-earned 1-0 win against Venezia in a relegation battle at Stadio Luigi Ferraris, breaking a streak of nine Serie A matches without a clean sheet. This victory lifts them to 16th place, while Venezia’s poor away form in Italy’s top division persists, as they have not won any of their last 30 away games since February 2022 (drawing 10 and losing 20), leaving them stuck at the bottom of the standings.
Atalanta 4-4 Frosinone
Atalanta and Frosinone delivered one of the season’s most exciting matches, ending in a thrilling 4-4 draw that showcased the best of Serie A football. La Dea has now won just one of their last six league matches. Sarri is likely growing worried about his team’s performance, as they have gone three games without a victory.

Lecce 0-2 Juventus
Juventus got back to winning form with two goals in the first half, securing a 2-0 win on the road against Lecce.

Udinese 0-2 AC Milan
Christian Pulisic’s early goal helped AC Milan maintain their unbeaten run in Serie A at eight games for the first time since 2021, as they defeated a wasteful Udinese 2-0. Milan managed to hold on and prevent a fourth straight away league draw, while also climbing into the UEFA Champions League qualification places. Meanwhile, Udinese remain just above the relegation zone on goal difference and have now suffered four consecutive home defeats against Milan at Stadio Friuli.
