Serie A is known for its rich footballing history, with clubs boasting passionate fanbases and a reputation for defensive mastery, alongside dynamic offensive play.
The latest edition of the ‘Derby della Mole’ – the Turin Derby – between Torino and Juventus will headline Matchday 20 of the 2024-25 Serie A season.
Matchday 20 in the Serie A begins with a clash between Lazio and Como set to take place Friday January 10, 2025 at Stadio Olimpico. Senegalese forward Boulaye Dia has netted four goals so far and registered two assists in the league.
Torino and Juve will meet at the Grande Olimpico Stadium in Turin on the early evening of Saturday 11 January. The Bianconeri will be chasing a league ‘double’ over their local rivals after a 2-0 home triumph in November courtesy of goals from Timothy Weah and Kenan Yildiz. In fact, Il Toro have not won a match in the Turin derby since April 2015 – the better part of a decade ago!
Yet Juventus come into the match having endured a frustrating season, with manager Thiago Motta struggling to get his team playing consistently, and with the kind of attacking creativity and bite that made his Bologna team of last season so impressive.
“We must be united and keep going forward for the good of Juventus,” said Motta. “We all want to change this situation. The fans have every right to express themselves, but we should remain united and together change things.”
Lazio have enjoyed a far better campaign than they would have hoped for, and will get the round underway on Friday night when they welcome Como to the Olimpico Stadium in Rome – with club president Claudio Lotito recently praising manager Marco Baroni for the impact he has had.
“When I chose him [Baroni] I did it with conviction, certainly not to relegate Lazio. This summer there were protests against me, but I did this restructuring to start again and I was convinced that Baroni could be the right person,” said Lotito.
“This turnover is an automatic fact, when you have a highly competitive squad it is right that the most ready and most functional people for the opponents play. We must not chase names, those are part of history. We must think about the future, Lazio must become a point of arrival and not of departure.”
The round will also feature Atalanta away to Udinese; AC Milan welcoming Cagliari to the iconic San Siro; Inter Milan face a potential banana skin away to Venezia; Napoli will back themselves to beat Verona at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium; and Fiorentina will close out the round on Monday night away to Monza.
