Serie A Preview: Como Takes On Lecce As Inter Milan Faces Genoa

‎With the title race, European spots, and relegation battle all tightening, Serie A delivers another decisive weekend.

‎Inter aim to extend their dominance, Napoli and Milan chase consistency, Roma push for the top four, and Juventus look to stop their collapse.

‎Here is the full breakdown of this weekend’s key fixtures.

‎Como vs Lecce

‎Chasing an astonishing top-four push just two seasons after returning to Serie A, Como welcome relegation-threatened Lecce to the Stadio Sinigaglia.

‎Their confidence is sky-high after completing a historic league double over Juventus. Cesc Fàbregas has built one of the league’s most efficient and defensively balanced teams. Only Inter Milan has kept more clean sheets.

‎Lecce have lost all three top-flight meetings with Como since the hosts returned to Serie A, failing to score and conceding eight. Their defeat to Inter dropped them back into the bottom three.

‎Team News

‎Como: Baturina (3 weeks), Addai (season over), Diao (out). Nico Paz returns from suspension. Lecce: Camarda, Berisha, Gaspar (all out).

‎Prediction: Como 2–0 Lecce

‎Hellas Verona vs Napoli

‎Napoli travel to bottom-placed Verona looking to repair their fragile top-four bid. Their defence remains shaky — 10 goals conceded in five games — and they are winless in their last eight away fixtures.

‎Verona is winless in 11 and sinking fast. Injuries and suspensions leave them exposed.

‎Prediction: Napoli 3–1 Verona

‎Inter Milan vs Genoa

‎Inter return to league play after their Champions League exit but remain unstoppable domestically. Seven straight league wins and a commanding lead at the top show their authority.

‎Genoa have improved under De Rossi but are still just above the relegation line. Their away record and history at San Siro — 11 straight losses — suggest a difficult afternoon.

‎Prediction: Inter 3–1 Genoa

‎Sassuolo vs Atalanta BC

‎Fresh from eliminating Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League with a stunning comeback, Atalanta visit a surging Sassuolo. Atalanta are unbeaten in Serie A in 2026, winning seven of their last nine.

‎Promoted last season, Sassuolo have surprised many under Fabio Grosso, winning four of their last five league matches.

‎Team News

‎Atalanta: Krstovic and Ederson may return; Raspadori, De Ketelaere (out). Sassuolo: Matić and Muharemovic return; Walukiewicz (suspended).

‎Prediction: Sassuolo 2–2 Atalanta

‎Cremonese vs AC Milan

‎After going 24 league games without defeat, Milan finally faltered against Parma. With 12 rounds remaining, they trail Inter by 10 points. Milan are still unbeaten on the road, with their only road win coming at Cremonese on the opening matchday.

‎Team News

‎Milan: Loftus-Cheek (several weeks), Gabbia (doubt), Gimenez (out). Pulisic and Leao recently returned to fitness.

‎Prediction: AC Milan 2–0 Cremonese

‎Roma vs Juventus

‎The weekend’s headline clash sees Roma host an out-of-form Juventus. Juventus have won just one of their last six league matches. Under Daniele De Rossi, Roma have rediscovered identity and discipline. Dybala and Lukaku have rediscovered chemistry at the perfect moment.

‎Prediction: Roma 2–1 Juventus
