The pick of the matches from Serie A this round sees AC Milan host Atalanta at the iconic San Siro on the late evening of Sunday 25 February. The Rossoneri are targeting a top-three finish and a return to the UEFA Champions League next season, while La Dea are hoping to join them, having put themselves right in the mix to finish fourth – though they face a tough battle against the likes of Roma, Napoli, Lazio, Fiorentina and Bologna.
“We are going through a good period of form and have improved a great deal, but we still have margin for further improvement and there are things we need to fine-tune,” said Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini. “Undoubtedly, if you get results like this, you can challenge for the top spots in the table.”
The focus will also fall on title favourites Internazionale, who will be away to Lecce on Sunday evening as they look to take a step toward a 20th Scudetto. Their main rivals, Juventus, will be in action earlier in the day and looking to pile on the pressure with a win at home to Frosinone.
“Inter have the best-equipped squad to be able to win the championship, but Juventus is having a great championship,” warned former Verona coach Beppe Iachini. “Inter will soon start playing in the Champions League again, while Juve will have the normal week at their disposal and will also lower the risk of injuries with the possibility of training at the top every week. This will be fundamental towards March-April when the teams will start to be more tired and stressed.”
Also keep an eye out for a double dose of action on Monday night, with a potential thriller between Fiorentina and Lazio, preceded by Roma hosting Torino. The Giallorossi continue to find their feet under caretaker boss Daniele De Rossi.
“It’s a gamble, but Daniele has courage and I hope that the results prove him right. He has the position, as [Jose] Mourinho had it. Coaching your favourite team is not easy, you have to put emotions aside. But I wish him the best,” said former Italian international goalkeeper Francesco Toldo.
