Serie A: Sunday 16 February matches.
The 25th day of the championship gets into full swing with five matches that will feature teams competing for the Champions League zone, teams fighting to stay up and teams dreaming of the Scudetto. It will start at 12.30:15.00 with Fiorentina-Como and then continue at 18.00:20.45 with Monza-Lecce and Udinese-Empoli. At XNUMX:XNUMX Parma-Roma will face each other, while at XNUMX:XNUMX the big match Juventus-Inter will close.
Towards Fiorentina-Como
Palladino's team is coming off a double match against Inter, which saw the Viola obtain a victory in the first match and a defeat in the second. Monday's defeat slowed down the path towards the Champions League zone, but the situation remains more than interesting; Fiorentina, in fact, occupies sixth place with 42 points, 1 point behind Juventus, who will be playing the big match against Inter. However, the Viola will not be able to count on their striker Kean due to suspension; in his place, Gudmundsson could start, supported by Zaniolo.
Fabregas' team is coming off three consecutive defeats and from now on every game becomes crucial in terms of survival. Como is in sixteenth place with 22 points, only two more than Parma, third from bottom. For Como, who has always played good football, the time has come to get points against the big teams. The trio Diao-Paz-Strefezza will start up front behind the lone striker Cutrone.
Towards Monza-Lecce
After the heavy 5-1 defeat at the Olimpico against Lazio, the management decided to fire Bocchetti and recall Nesta to the bench. The red and whites are coming off four consecutive defeats and are increasingly last with 13 points, 8 points away from safety. Nesta will have to perform a feat, or rather, perhaps a miracle to try to save Monza, starting from today's match in which the only objective is the three points.
Giampaolo's team, with four points obtained in the last two games, has moved up to 24 points, moving away from the third-last place. The situation remains delicate and the match against Monza could decide the fate of the Giallorossi; with a victory they would make a great leap forward, with a defeat they will have to fight for salvation until the last day. The attack composed of Krstovic, Morente and Pierotti has been confirmed.
Towards Udinese-Empoli
The team of Runjaić is coming off a draw against Napoli, the result of a great away performance at the Maradona. The Bianconeri are exactly in the middle of the table with 30 points, +10 from the relegation zone, but also far from hoping for European competitions. The only remaining objective is therefore mathematical salvation. Lucca continues the search for the tenth goal in the championship, behind him will be Thauvin and Ekkelenkamp.
D'Aversa's team has not won in nine games, in which they have only drawn twice. The fourth-last place is therefore not a coincidence and Parma is lurking at -1. The task of reviving Empoli is entrusted to the two young Azzurri Colombo and Esposito who will start alongside Cacace.
Towards Parma-Rome
Pecchia's team is coming from three consecutive defeats and has never won in 2025. The standings see Parma third from bottom with 20 points, but in front Empoli has remained stuck at 21, giving the Emilians the chance to overtake. In midfield the talent Bernabé should start, while up front there will be the trio composed of Cancellieri-Bonny-Camara.
Ranieri's team is in ninth place with 34 points, far from the top six to hope for a European placement. In addition to today's match, the Giallorossi must also prepare for the return match at the Olimpico against Porto, which is essential to progress in the Europa League. For this reason, Ranieri opts for a massive turnover; Soulé will replace the injured Dybala and El Shaarawy will act behind Shomurodov.
The Parma-Roma match at 18.00 will be broadcast live on DAZN and Sky and streamed on the DAZN, Sky and Now apps.
Towards Juventus-Inter
For Thiago Motta's team, this is perhaps the best period of the season; after the victory in the first leg of the playoff against PSV, tonight could see the third consecutive victory in the championship. To reach Lazio, the Bianconeri must get the three points even if on the other side there will be an Inter looking for first place. In attack, the favorite remains Kolo Muani with the Yildiz-Gonzalez-Koopmeoners trio behind him.
Simone Inzaghi's team must take advantage of Napoli's third consecutive draw; with a win tonight the Nerazzurri would rise to 57 points, overtaking the first-placed Neapolitans with 56 points. Marcus Thuram is still in doubt, having left the last match against Fiorentina due to injury. Together with Lautaro, therefore, it is a ballot between Arnautovic and Taremi.
The Juventus-Inter match at 20.45 will be broadcast live on DAZN and streamed on the DAZN app.
Happy football Sunday to everyone.
