Serie A 2020-21: Analyzing the race for the top four
The likes of Inter and AC Milan could get hold of the Serie A 2020-21 title. Both Milan clubs top the proceedings this season, with Inter enjoying a four-point lead. Third-placed Juventus are also in the mix but trail Inter by seven points. If either of the Milan clubs win, Juventus' run of nine successive Serie A honors will come to an end.
Conte's Inter sit at the top
Inter have been on a roll this season, having lost just twice so far. They have accumulated 56 points from 24 games, scoring the highest number of goals (60), and conceding the second-fewest goals as well (24). They are also unbeaten in nine league games, winning six in a row. Inter are enjoying their football and it will be difficult to break them down.
Milan will need to find their consistency back
Milan led the league standings for most part this season before surrendering the momentum. They have racked up 52 points from 24 matches. All four of Milan's losses this season have come from January onwards. Notably, they have lost thrice in their last six league games. If Milan are to find their way back at the top, they will need to find consistency.
Can Juventus get past the Milan clubs?
36-time winners Juventus need to find a way in getting past the Milan clubs and defending the title. Juve have conceded the fewest goals this season, besides losing only three times. However, with seven draws so far, Juve have failed to get past the line on several attempts. With Inter going strongly, Juventus cannot afford to slip up.
Four teams in race for the fourth place
The likes of Atalanta, AS Roma, Napoli, and Lazio are all in fray for the fourth place. Atalanta (46) have a two-point lead over fifth-placed Roma. Napoli and Lazio have 43 points each. This battle could go down the wire as there isn't much to separate these sides. With the last UCL place on offer, teams will be raring to have a real crack.
