The 24th round of matches in the Italian Serie A is underway.
According to Idman.Biz, the round started on Friday, February 6, with the match "Verona" - "Pisa". The match ended in a 0:0 draw.
It should be noted that the match "Milan" - "Como", one of the central matches of the round, was postponed to February 18. This is due to the fact that the "San Siro" stadium will be used for the opening ceremony of the 2026 Winter Olympic Games. The opening ceremony took place at this arena.
"Genoa" – "Napoli" (February 7)
"Napoli" continues to pursue the leading group and travels to Genoa for important points. For "Genoa", this game is a chance to strengthen their position in the middle of the standings and achieve a result in a match against a team in the top three.
The main pre-match quote came from the home team's camp. "Genoa" head coach Daniele De Rossi called Antonio Conte a "world-class coach" and emphasized that with a full squad, "Napoli" is "the best or second best" team in Serie A in terms of squad quality. At the same time, De Rossi specifically noted that despite the personnel problems affecting the rotation, the Neapolitans' starting lineup is still very strong.
Among other news related to "Genoa", the activity in the January transfer window is noteworthy. According to De Rossi, the club kept the main players in the squad and transferred several quality new players to expand the selection options during the season.
"Sassuolo" – "Inter" (February 8)
The championship leader "Inter" will face "Sassuolo" away. "Sassuolo", which is in the middle of the standings, is considered a dangerous opponent, especially in home games. In the current table, "Inter" remains in first place, while "Milan" is chasing them with one match in hand due to the postponement of the game with "Como".
One of the most discussed topics around "Inter" at this stage is the issue of discipline. After an incident involving the throwing of flares into the guest sector at the game in Cremona, the Italian authorities banned "Inter" fans from attending away games until March 23. The club has openly condemned what happened.
From a tournament point of view, the main factor for "Inter" is stability. The team maintains its lead and tries not to lose points at a time when "Milan" is increasing the pace.
