Serie A, Lazio slow down: Inter close the gap. Juventus held in Florence

The Serie A race at the top has produced a double boost for Inter. Lazio have slowed their progress, while Juventus managed only a draw in Florence. The results from the round therefore allow the Nerazzurri to reduce the gap to the Biancocelesti and look at the standings with greater confidence.

Lazio’s stumble and Juventus’ draw are the key elements of the latest picture. The Turin side failed to turn their trip to Tuscany into a victory, dropping two valuable points in the battle for the leading positions. Inter, meanwhile, gave substance to their recovery with a 2-0 home win over Como after the derby defeat.

Cristian Chivu’s team enter the break after beating Como, following the 0-3 success against Feyenoord in Rotterdam in the Champions League. Their next fixture is away to Atalanta on Sunday, November 22, at 20:45. The European challenge against Stuttgart will follow on November 25 at 21:00 at San Siro.
