The Serie A standings saw minimal alteration following Napoli’s 1-1 draw with Torino on Friday evening, with both teams maintaining their respective positions, seventh and 10th, as held prior to the match.
This encounter between Napoli and Torino marked the commencement of the 28th round of Serie A fixtures, with the remaining matches scheduled throughout the weekend, concluding with Lazio’s clash against Udinese on Monday night.
While Napoli and Torino each gained a point, their positions in the standings remain precarious, as they are susceptible to being overtaken by teams below them by the conclusion of this weekend’s fixtures.
Napoli’s draw holds significance for Fiorentina, currently in eighth place, and Atalanta in sixth.
Fiorentina has the opportunity to reclaim the seventh spot with a triumph over Roma on Sunday, while Atalanta’s position remains secure irrespective of their result against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium, also on Sunday.
Torino’s acquisition of a point also impacts Monza and Lazio.
Monza stands a chance to ascend into the top half with an away victory against Genoa on Saturday, while Lazio faces no immediate threat of slipping below their current ninth position.
Regarding Serie A’s top goal scorers, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has reached a tally of 10 goals for the season, joining Inter’s Marcus Thuram, Bologna’s Joshua Zirkzee, Roma’s Romelu Lukaku, and Frosinone’s Juventus loanee Matias Soule, who share the same count.
Victor Osimhen’s goal drought against Torino leaves his season tally at 11 goals, marginally ahead of the aforementioned players. Lautaro Martinez maintains a comfortable lead in the division with 23 goals in the 2023-24 season.
