Gameweek 16 of Serie A is set to deliver thrilling action as the Italian league reaches the peak of the season. With multiple teams vying for the Scudetto, fans can anticipate an intense round of fixtures. The battle for top spots and the fight to avoid mid-table mediocrity will create an exciting clash of styles, pitting defensive solidity against attacking flair. As the Christmas break approaches, teams will be eager to finish the year on a high note.
With DStv and GOtv, there is no better football lovers can get season-long ticket to the best football the world has to offer.
The round of fixtures begins on Friday December 13, 2024 with a clash between Empoli and Torino at Stadio Carlo Castellani.
Ghanaian forward Emmanuel Gyasi has scored two goals in 15 matches so far in the competition and the match against Torino is an opportunity for him to increase his tally. Funny enough, a footballer that he looks up to is Cristiano Ronaldo, which is definitely good if he’s looking to score more goals.
“It’s not just the skills he has; it’s his dedication, the winning mentality. He has scored so many goals, won so many trophies and yet every minute of every day, he’s still so hungry,” said Gyasi.
Cagliari will host league leaders Atalanta on Saturday December 14, 2024 at the Sardegna Arena. The home team will have to be on high alert defensively to contain the likes of Ademola Lookman, who is in top form at the moment.
The Super Eagles attacker has grabbed the attention of football lovers worldwide, and things just keep getting better and better. What’s interesting to note is that La Dea are starting to look like a team that can really go for the title.
“Everything is possible, but we think game by game. This is the right mentality. The team is showing all its strength,” said Lookman.
Saturday will also be headlined by Napoli visiting Udinese and Juventus hosting Venezia with both heavyweights chasing key points in what is becoming a thrilling title race.
“We must not look at the standings, or at other clubs, but at ourselves, we have to improve in what we are working on, we have to take steps to raise our level,” said said Napoli manager Antonio Conte.
As for the Bianconeri, American international Timothy Weah, son of Liberian legend George Weah has added great value to their attack, according to manager Thiago Motta.
“I like all he does. Especially the fact that he scores goals. Strikers need to finish an attack. He does many other things well, and it’s very interesting because he offers alternative solutions,” said the Juve boss.
“He can play on the left, on the right, or as a striker. He helps, and he’s responsible. He understands what the team needs and his duties. We are happy he’s in good form, he must continue like this, whether he starts or not.”
Sunday December 15, 2024 will see Como take on AS Roma at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, and it’s not looking good for Cesc Fabregas’ charges with the recently promoted team struggling in 17th place.
Bologna will welcome the La Viola and AC Milan will be chasing three points when they welcome Genoa to the iconic San Siro.
The action doesn’t stop there, one more Serie A clash is set to take place on Monday December 16, 2024 as Lazio go up against Internazionale at Stadio Olimpico.
