Diretta Cagliari – Lazio (0-1) Serie A 2024: Lazio secure narrow victory
In a tightly contested match between Cagliari and Lazio, it was the visitors who emerged victorious with a narrow 1-0 win. The game was played at a high tempo, with both teams creating chances but ultimately failing to find the back of the net.
Lazio’s goal came in the second half, with striker Alessandro Rossi getting on the end of a well-placed cross to head the ball past the Cagliari goalkeeper. Despite Cagliari’s best efforts to find an equalizer, Lazio’s defense held firm to secure all three points.
The win sees Lazio move up the Serie A table, while Cagliari will be disappointed to have come away empty-handed. It was a hard-fought victory for Lazio, who will be hoping to build on this result in their upcoming matches.
Stay tuned for more Serie A action and updates on both Cagliari and Lazio’s performances in the league.
Piece by piece, Roma is rounding into form. The Giallorossi are still quite a ways away from contending for Champions League football in Serie A, but the performances are starting to get just a touch more consistent, just a touch more positive. The midweek win against Eintracht Frankfurt, combined with recent positive results in the league, suggest that the worst may be behind us for this season from hell. I Lupi are now operating like the football club we thought they were.
Naturally, this means that Roma are now in line for one of their most challenging matches of the season. The Derby Del Sole doesn’t have the cachet of the Derby Della Capitale, but Roma’s matches against Napoli are always passionate. Given Roma and Lazio’s respective ups and downs over the past decade, the matches against Napoli have been more consistently important for the overall success of Roma’s season than the cross-city clashes.
This season has been particularly strong for I Partenopei, as they currently lead the Serie A standings with 53 points from 22 matches, boasting a record of 17 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses. Under the guidance of manager Antonio Conte, Napoli has demonstrated resilience, notably with a recent 2-1 comeback victory over previously unbeaten Juventus. Even with the departure of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to PSG, the team has maintained momentum, with former Roma striker Romelu Lukaku once again dominating in Serie A. With Napoli looking to extend their lead at the top of the Serie A table, Roma will need to capitalize on their recent improvements to challenge the league leaders effectively.
What to Watch For
Is Artem Dovbyk Beginning to Gel?

When Roma secured Artem Dovbyk from Girona last summer, expectations were sky-high. The Ukrainian striker was anticipated to be the finished article from the first minute he donned the Giallorossi jersey, with hopes he might even contend for a capocannoniere title. However, as with many a transition for strikers into Serie A, the initial stages of Dovbyk’s time in Rome were marked by adaptation challenges. His early performances were a mix of promise and inconsistency, leaving fans wondering if Dovbyk would live up to the billing.
Fast forward to the present, and it appears Dovbyk is finally hitting his stride. The striker has found the back of the net in his last three league appearances, showcasing a growing synergy with his teammates. His recent contributions have been pivotal, not just in terms of goals but also in his overall play, indicating a player becoming increasingly comfortable in Claudio Ranieri’s system.
With that recent form in mind, all eyes will be on Dovbyk to see if he can maintain his importance in Roma’s attack against their strongest opponent in months. Napoli boasts a robust defense thanks to Antonio Conte, and Dovbyk’s ability to push through against them makes tomorrow’s match an ideal acid test for the Ukrainian’s newfound form. A strong performance against such a high-caliber opponent would not only bolster Roma’s aspirations but also firmly establish Dovbyk as the striker the Giallorossi faithful had hoped for. The Derby del Sole is always a fixture of passion and intensity. With Dovbyk’s resurgence, Roma might just have the edge they’ve been seeking.
Will Soulé Repay Ranieri’s Trust?

Roma’s other major attacking signing of the summer was, of course, Matias Soulé. The Argentinian youngster was expected to inject fresh energy into the Giallorossi’s attack, and perhaps pave the way for Roma to survive and thrive in a post-Dybala environment. However, his journey has been anything but straightforward—and not just because Paulo Dybala looks set to stay in Rome for another few seasons. Limited playing time in recent months has led to speculation about his future, with clubs like Fulham expressing interest in a loan deal. Despite these overtures, both Ranieri and Soulé have shown a mutual commitment to his development in Rome.
Recent performances suggest that this patience may yet pay off. In the Europa League clash against Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday, Soulé made a significant impact off the bench, orchestrating a brilliant solo run that culminated in an assist for Eldor Shomurodov’s goal, sealing a 2-0 victory. This moment of brilliance highlighted the potential that had been eagerly anticipated by fans, Ranieri, and management alike.
As Roma prepares for tomorrow’s match, the question looms: will Soulé repay Ranieri’s trust with even more impact in significant matches? In some ways, there’s no alternative. Nicola Zalewski is set for a loan move to Inter Milan, and with multiple competitions to juggle and Tommaso Baldanzi more in the midfield these days, opportunities on the wing should become more frequent for Soulé. A strong performance against the league leaders could not only solidify his place in the squad but also serve as a turning point in his Roma career. The stage is set for Soulé to showcase his talents and affirm that Ranieri’s faith was well-placed.

Moise Kean’s acrobatic volley and Albert Gudmundsson against his old club gave Fiorentina a morale-boosting victory over Patrick Vieira’s Genoa.
The Viola ended their crisis with a 2-1 victory away to Lazio, but Yacine Adli was sent off in that game and therefore suspended along with coach Raffaele Palladino. Danilo Cataldi, new signing Pablo Mari and Edoardo Bove were out of action, but Albert Gudmundsson faced his former club. Genoa missed Mattia Bani, Alessandro Zanoli, Ruslan Malinovskyi, Honest Ahanor and continued to freeze out Mario Balotelli.
There was controversy in the opening minutes, as Dodo went down when Morten Frendrup fell with a handful of his jersey, but following a VAR On-Field Review, the referee awarded the foul against the Fiorentina man.
The Viola did break the deadlock with a spectacular finish from Kean, as Rolando Mandragora stood up a free kick and the striker waited for it to drop over his shoulder, scoring with an acrobatic flick off the outside of the right boot as he twirled from 10 yards.
Gudmundsson was facing his former club and added a second goal, his splendid first touch with the inside of the right boot on a Robin Gosens roll across setting it up to fire in with his left, aided by a slight deflection.
Maxwell Cornet should’ve got one back for Genoa when sent through by Morten Thorsby, but ballooned over with the left foot as David De Gea came rushing out.
The second half was delayed by an injury to one of the assistant referees, who was replaced by fourth official Santoro.

Genoa got back into the game, as Koni De Winter was allowed a free header from six yards on the Aaron Martin corner kick.
Just as the visitors were pouring forward, they risked conceding at the other end, Johan Vasquez clearing the Dodo header off the line after Nicola Leali flapped at a Gosens cross.
Genoa almost scored a replica of their first goal, as De Winter had another free header on Martin’s corner, but this time De Gea managed to make the desperate one-handed reaction save to secure the Fiorentina victory.

In a thrilling Serie A match between Fiorentina and Genoa, Moise Kean’s acrobatic goal proved to be the difference as Fiorentina emerged victorious with a 2-1 win over Genoa.

As the second half progressed, both teams pushed for the winning goal, but it was Kean who stole the show with a spectacular acrobatic finish in the 78th minute. The young forward showcased his incredible athleticism and skill as he leaped into the air to meet a cross and volleyed the ball past the Genoa goalkeeper.
Vieira’s side tried to find an equalizer in the closing stages of the match, but Fiorentina’s defense held firm to secure all three points. The victory moves Fiorentina up the Serie A table, while Genoa will be left disappointed with the result.
Overall, it was a thrilling match that showcased the talent and excitement of Serie A football. Kean’s magic was the difference-maker, and Fiorentina will be hoping for more of the same in their upcoming matches.

Fiorentina ended a three-game winless run at Stadio Artemio Franchi with a 2-1 win against Genoa in Serie A, a result which extends their remarkable unbeaten run in home meetings with their opponents to 27 matches.
The hosts started strongly and had a penalty shout inside the early stages – Morten Frendrup’s tug on Dodo’s shirt was enough for the VAR to send the on-field referee to the monitor, but he defied common precedent and stuck with his original decision.
La Viola were not disappointed for long though, as Moise Kean produced a wonderful, distinctive flick towards goal that found its way into the net on nine minutes.
Connecting with Rolando Mandragora’s free-kick, the striker netted his 13th league goal this season to stay very much in the Golden Boot race, with only one player having managed more in SA this term.
On the half-hour mark, Fiorentina doubled their lead through ex-Genoa player Albert Gudmundsson, whose shot deflected in after he connected with Robin Gosens’ cross.
The visitors really ought to have pulled one back before half-time though, as Maxwel Cornet could only curl over the bar from such a promising position after being fed through by Morten Thorsby.
Just 10 minutes into the second half, Genoa pulled a goal back through Koni De Winter, as he headed home Aaron Martin’s corner.
The visitors pushed for a swift second as the pendulum started to swing in their favour, but Fabio Miretti’s strike from the edge of the box flew just past the near post.
Despite being pegged back, Fiorentina were still dangerous on the counter as Gosens bombed forward again and unleashed a great cross to find Dodo, whose header was blocked on the line by Johan Vasquez.
Down the other end, De Winter almost netted his brace after connecting with another corner, but this time his header was pushed away by David de Gea.
Genoa’s late push for an equaliser was ultimately not enough, as they fell to just a second defeat in six league places, keeping them in 12th place in the table while Fiorentina rise into the top-five, just a point adrift of Juventus in fourth having played a game fewer.

Another edition of the hotly contested Milan derby takes center stage at the San Siro as AC Milan will play host to their cross-town rivals Inter.
As is often the case, this match means more than just a heated rivalry in this edition. Inter trail Napoli by three points with a game in hand, and with a significantly better goal differential, they can take over the the lead in the title race with a win.
Milan, meanwhile, have slumped all the way down to eighth, as their issues this season have remained even as Sergio Conceicao took over for Paulo Fonseca at the helm. They lost to Juventus in league play two weeks prior, and fell to Dinamo Zagreb in the final league phase match of the Champions League midweek.
The Sporting News takes a closer look at this matchup with both title implications and bragging rights on the line.
Sporting News football betting expert Kyle Bonn shares his best bets, props, and longshot fliers for some of the biggest matches in the sport each week. Since the start of 2024, he has correctly predicted 54.6% of 386 match outcomes via his 3-way moneyline leans for a totalprofit of 68.7 units.
These two teams almost always play extremely tight games, that much is true. The last three Milan derbies have all been decided by a single goal, while the same is true for five of the last seven.
Yet in their current form and squad makeup, Inter are just plain better. They should have won the Supercoppa Italiana, and are just the more skilled side. AC Milan have won each of the last two, and that run should come to an end here. If it doesn’t, Inter will have a lot of questions to answer for yet another missed opportunity

Date: Sunday, February 2, 2025
Kickoff Time: 6 p.m. local (12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT)
Location: San Siro (Milan, Italy)
Referee: Daniele Chiffi
Last meeting: Inter 2-3 AC Milan (Jan. 6, 2025 | Supercoppa Italiana)
AC Milan vs. Inter best bet
Pick: Over 2.5 total goals
Odds: -145 (BetMGM)
While Serie A clubs aren’t necessarily prone to scoring goals and hitting overs, these two clubs have been chaotic enough this year to do the job. Each of the last four Milan derbies have gone over the total, with a combined 17 goals between them.
The main goal scorers for both these clubs are healthy and in good form, and it’s the defensive unit that is struggling the most for Milan.
AC Milan vs. Inter prop bet
Pick: Lautaro Martinez anytime goal scorer
Odds: +160 on DraftKings
Sometimes the easy choice is the right one, especially when the odds are this favorable.
Lautaro Martinez had a very difficult end to 2024, but he has exploded to life in the new year. With a goal in each of his last three matches, the Argentine looks back to his best at the head of the Inter attack.
He’s also been a menace for AC Milan in the past, as you can imagine. He scored in the last meeting as Inter fell in the Supercoppa Italiana, and he has a goal contribution in three of the last four league games. With three of those four contributions being assists, Lautaro is due for himself to finish one off himself, as he’s not a volume chance creator for teammates.
The Milan derby is always a highly anticipated match in Serie A, and this weekend’s clash between AC Milan and Inter is set to be a thrilling encounter. Both teams are in top form and fighting for the Scudetto, making this match a crucial one in the title race.
AC Milan currently sit in second place in the league table, just behind Inter. They have been in impressive form this season, with striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic leading the charge. Inter, on the other hand, have been in scintillating form, with Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez forming a deadly partnership up front.
In terms of odds, Inter are slight favorites to win the match, with bookmakers offering odds of around 2.20 for an Inter victory. AC Milan are not far behind, with odds of around 2.80 for a Milan win. A draw is also a possibility, with odds of around 3.30.
When it comes to betting tips, it’s always a good idea to consider the form of both teams and the history of the fixture. Both teams have been scoring freely this season, so a bet on both teams to score could be a good option. Over 2.5 goals is also a good bet, given the attacking talent on display.
In terms of best bets, a bet on Inter to win and both teams to score could be a good option, with odds of around 4.00. Alternatively, a bet on over 2.5 goals and both teams to score could also be a good bet, with odds of around 3.00.
Overall, this Milan derby is set to be a closely contested match, with both teams in top form. It’s sure to be a thrilling encounter, and one that is not to be missed.

Official: Kyle Walker joins Milan from Manchester City (picture via www.acmilan.com/it)
Milan give Kyle Walker his debut with Tammy Abraham, Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao, while Inter bring Hakan Calhanoglu back in support of Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez.
That was only Sergio Conceicao’s second game in charge and his side were trailing 2-0 before fighting back to take the trophy.
The Rossoneri have Youssouf Fofana suspended, Emerson Royal, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Alessandro Florenzi injured, plus Malick Thiaw not fully fit, but the transfer market has decimated the squad further.
So Abraham has to lead the attack with Pulisic and Leao, while Walker is thrown straight into the starting XI for his Serie A debut.
Confidence is low after Wednesday’s Champions League defeat to Dinamo Zagreb.

Inter only lost one Serie A match all season, the derby back in September 2024, and comfortably beat 10-man AS Monaco 3-0 to secure a place in the Round of 16.
Joaquin Correa is the only remaining injury absentee, as Calhanoglu returns to the starting XI against his former club and Francesco Acerbi is back on the bench.
So is Nicola Zalewski, who completed his loan with option to buy move from Roma just in time for the midnight deadline.
After a dry spell, Lautaro Martinez now can’t seem to stop scoring, with seven goals in the last five competitive games.
Here are the official line-ups for Serie A Week 23 matches:
Inter Milan vs. Fiorentina
Inter Milan: Handanovic, Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni, Hakimi, Barella, Brozovic, Perisic, Eriksen, Martinez, Lukaku
Fiorentina: Dragowski, Milenkovic, Pezzella, Igor, Caceres, Amrabat, Pulgar, Castrovilli, Bonaventura, Eysseric, Vlahovic
Roma vs. Udinese
Roma: Pau Lopez, Mancini, Ibanez, Karsdorp, Spinazzola, Cristante, Veretout, Pellegrini, Mkhitaryan, Pedro, Dzeko
Udinese: Musso, Becao, Bonifazi, Samir, Molina, De Paul, Walace, Pereyra, Larsen, Okaka, Deulofeu
