Serie A weekend round-up: Inter take title advantage and Juric's days look numbered

As Serie A takes its last international break of 2025, the title tussle at the top of the league couldn't be much tighter, with just three points separating the top five after another weekend of twists and turns. 

The top two are locked together on goal difference, while at the other end, it's Fiorentina who prop up the table, with new boss Paolo Vanoli facing a huge task in stopping the rot in Florence. 

Here are the big talking points from Serie A's  Matchday 11. 

Bologna make things interesting 

The latest twist in the Serie A tale came in Bologna, where not only did the home side add to Napoli's away day concerns, but also announced themselves as potential dark horses for the championship. 

Second-half goals from Thijs Dallinga and Jhon Lucumi were enough to see off the champions, and Bologna did with a rookie in goal too, with Massimo Pessina making his debut for the club after Luckasz Skourpski was forced off injured just eight minutes into the game. 

It's a win that moves Vincenzo Italiano's men to within three points of the top spot and just a point behind Napoli. 

For Antonio Conte's side, not only are there concerns over their away form, but they've suddenly stopped scoring goals. Rasmus Hojlund looked more like his Manchester United self as he struggled to make an impact, and it's now three games in a row in which Napoli have failed to find the net. 

Something to chew over during the international break.

Inter in control 

With Napoli's defeat, it was up to the chasing pack to take advantage and it's Inter who benefited most and head into the break top of the Serie A table. 

While Milan could only draw with Parma and Juventus failed to make up any ground in a derby stalemate with Torino, Inter and Roma both secured wins that see them level on points at the summit. 

Roma struck first on Sunday, securing a 2-0 win over Udinese, before Inter comfortably saw off Lazio thanks to another goal apiece from their free-scoring frontline. 

That attack sees them above Roma on goal difference and with Gian Piero Gasperini's side having already blown opportunities against their title rivals this season, it puts Inter in control as favourites right now. 

 

Juric could be next for the exit 

After last week's trio of sackings and ahead of an international break, there could be several managers who won't want to be taking calls from their owners in the next few days and chief among them could be Ivan Juric. 

The Atalanta boss got a timely boost last week with his side's Champions League victory, but their league form has taken a nosedive, culminating in a dismal 3-0 home defeat to Sassuolo on Sunday morning. 

It now feels inevitable that the club are set to make a change and replace Juric, who has only won two league games all season following his arrival from Southampton in the summer and was shown in an on-field falling out with Ademola Lookman during their win over Marseille. 

 Raffaele Palladino is the hot favourite to replace the Croatian by the time the league resumes.
