Five more rounds to go of the Serie A season.
3rd to 5th are separated by goal difference.
Atalanta moved up to second place, while inter Milan’s lead in the title race increads by a point.
AC Milan are out of Champions League qualifying spot after a 3-0 defeat in Rome dropped them from 2nd to 5th.
Juventus are hanging by the thread when it come to Champions League qualification. Goal-difference is what keeps them in the ‘top 4’/
Napoli replaced AC Milan in the ‘top 4’ with a win against Torino.
Lazio have a game in hand to cut the point gap between themselves and the ‘top four’ down to two points.
There are 15 points left to go and Crotone are 13 points from safety. They are likely to be relegated in the next round. Crotone’s next game doesn’t get any easier; they are hosting Inter Milan.
Cagliari used a victory against Roma to move out of the relegation zone.
Benevento fell into the relegation zone to join Parma and Crotone.
LEADING GOALSCORERS
Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus) – 25 goals
Romelu Lukaku (Inter Milan) – 21 goals
Luis Muriel (Atalanta) – 19 goals
Simy Nwankwo (Crotone) – 19 goals
Genoa won their first league game in 5 matches and opened up a three point lead on Spezia with a 2-0 victory.
Simy Nkwakwo added two goals to his tally as Crotone edged out Parma in a 7 goal match. Bottom-tabled Crotone won their first league game in seven attempts in a 4-3 win at Parma. With 5 games left, there might not be enough time for Crotone to save their season.
Domenico Berardi ‘s goal in the 69th minute gave Sassuolo the victory to open a 10-point lead on Sampdoria.
If it wasn’t for the teams in the relegation zone, Udinese would’ve lost all their league games since their draw against Genoa on March 13, 2021. Udinese were 4-2 winners at Benevento.
Alvaro Morata came into the game in the second half and instantly scored the equalizing goal for Juventus against Fiorentina. It ended a 1-1 draw; a massive two points dropped by Juventus.
Just like he did against Cagliari, Matteo Darmain scored the only goal of the match (at about the same time in the game) to get Inter Milan the three points at home against Hellas Verona. It was a welcomed win for an Inter Milan side that have dropped points in their last two league games from ‘1-1’ draws.
Cagliari have followed up a streak of 4 defeats with a streak of 3 victories. Their latest success came at home against Roma. It finished a 3-2 win for Cagliari, and kept Roma without a win in their last four competitive matches.

Five goal scorers carried Atalanta to a win at home against Bologna.
Napoli left Turin with the three points from a 2-0 win against Torino.
It didn’t take too long from kick-off for Joaquin Correa to get Lazio a goal up against Milan. Correa doubled the lead six minutes after the restart to kill all hopes of Milan getting the need points to avoid falling out of the ‘top 4’. Ciro Immobile scored the final goal of the round to get Lazio a 3-0 win against AC Milan.
