Top-of-the-table clash headlines Matchday 26


2018/19 Serie A

Matchday 26


1-3 March 2019
Kick-off times in CAT


The top-of-the-table clash between Napoli and Juventus is the headline fixture of Matchday 26 in the 2018/19 Italian Serie A season.

Juventus will have the chance to extend their lead at the top of the table to 16 points (with just 12 rounds remaining) when they face Napoli at Stadio San Paolo on Sunday night, kick-off at 21h30.

Should the Bianconeri emerge victorious – as they did when the teams met in Turin earlier in the season – it will all but seal the Scudetto for Massimiliano Allegri and his charges.

For the sake of a title challenge, neutrals and the rest of the Serie A will be hoping Carlo Ancelotti’s side can hand Juventus a first league defeat of the season.

The ‘Derby della Capitale’ between Lazio and Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday night (21h30) is another highlight of the weekend. Emotions always run high when the Roman sides meet, and the stakes are pretty high this time around as both are in the hunt for a top-four finish.

Roma appear to be in solid form, having secured a fourth straight win across all competitions when they edged Frosinone 3-2 away this past weekend, while the same cannot be said for Lazio, who had suffered three successive defeats prior to a Coppa Italia clash against Milan in midweek.

Atalanta have stumbled recently in their bid to secure Champions League football next season and they will need to up their game for the visit of Fiorentina (who have netted 15 goals in their last five games across all competitions) to the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia in Bergamo, kick-off at 19h00 on Sunday.
