The 2024-25 Serie A season is in full swing as the usual giants aim to fight for the title, while other clubs hope they can pull off what Bologna did last season and surprisingly qualify for the Champions League. Inter and Napoli look like the favorites to win the league on paper, but teams like Atalanta hope to spoil the party in what is turning out to be another thrilling campaign.
Game of the week: Lazio vs. AS Roma
On Sunday Lazio will host AS Roma in one of the most awaited matches of the season, the Derby della Capitale. Both sides are currently racing for a spot in the top four that would mean Champions League qualification. However, Lazio can also clinch that spot by winning the Europa League, but the side coached by Marco Baroni have lost the first leg of the Europa quarterfinals 2-0 away against Bodo Glimt on Thursday. Claudio Ranieri’s team, on the other hand, are, incredibly, back in the contention after a successful stint with the Italian manager, who is now working together with the club to appoint a new coach for the club after he took over on an interim basis.

Sunday’s game might be crucial to define the Champions League and Europa League race in the next weeks.
