As we advance into the 29th Matchday out of the Italian Serie A season, we can see that most of the teams in the top 7 locked in on their most recent clashes, but the one team that had everyone on their toes just fell.
The top 3 teams on the board decided not to allow the others to get a leap ahead, as they all secured victories in their most recent clash, and now, Inter continues to lead with Napoli right on their toes and Atalanta close behind, one point behind one another.
Juventus was the team we expected to keep their momentum as they had a huge winning streak, but now the team just went through their second defeat in the season, and we are still on the edge of our seats as they still have time to catch up to the top.
Now, as we approach the 29th matchday of an interesting Italian Serie A season, we need to dive into some of the matches that we consider the most interesting to watch this weekend.

Venezia is currently stuck in the relegation zone with only 19 points on their account, but they have been showing signs of improvement.
After holding Atalanta to a goalless draw at Gewiss Stadium, Venezia shared the spoils with Como at the weekend, and these results helped them regain much-needed confidence.
Midfielder John Yeboah serves a one-game ban while all Stankovic, Svoboda, and Sverko remain in the treatment room.
The Partenopei aim to build on a 2-1 win over Fiorentina. Antonio Conte’s men are eager to overtake Inter in the top position, but given Venezia’s fine form, we are tempted to place our bets on a draw in this clash, which should be pretty contested.
Venezia vs. Napoli Betting Pick: Draw

The home team is looking pretty confident. The Rossoblu are on a three-game winning run in the Serie A, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Nicolo Cambiaghi is pushing for a rare start after sealing the victory as a substitute against Verona, while Swiss midfielder Remo Freuler is back from suspension.
The Biancocelesti head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Udinese. Lazio players should feel a bit tired following the Europa League clash with Plzen. We are going with the hosts to win because of it.
Both Nicolo Rovella and Samuel Gigot are back from Europa League bans, and there are no fresh injury worries in Marco Baroni’s team.
Bologna vs. Lazio Betting Pick: Bologna
Serie A Matchday 29: Fiorentina vs. Juventus
| When? | Sunday, March 16th at 1:00 PM ET, 12:00 PM CST, 11:00 AM MT, and 10:00 AM PT |

After suffering a historic home defeat last week, Juventus aim to keep their top-four ambitions on track when they visit Fiorentina on Sunday.
Both teams are in contention for an improbable Scudetto, and now, Juventus and Atalanta BC met at the Allianz Stadium last weekend, with a defeat for either side likely able to end any dreams of pipping Napoli and Inter Milan to the title.
Fiorentina has not only scored the joint-most Serie A goals during the first 15 minutes this season (seven) but is also the only team yet to concede in the opening quarter-hour.
The Viola could make another fast start against ailing Juventus, but that might not prove enough to secure a much-needed win, so we think that this clash might end in a draw.
Fiorentina vs. Juventus Betting Pick: Draw
Serie A Matchday 29: Atalanta vs. Inter
| When? | Sunday, March 16th at 3:45 PM ET, 2:45 PM CST, 1:45 PM MT, and 12:45 PM PT |
| Where? | Gewiss Stadium |

Surely ending Juve’s challenge – and keeping themselves in contention for a first Serie A title – the Bergamaschi blew away their hosts with a three-goal blitz after halftime, having previously taken the lead through top scorer Mateo Retegui.
As a result of that historic success, which marked the worst home defeat for Juventus in almost six decades, Atalanta pulled level with Inter atop the Serie A goal charts, which makes this clash even more interesting.
Inter sits at the top of the table, but the second-placed Napoli is dangerously close to overtaking them, and Atalanta could then catch Simone Inzaghi’s side with a win.
Boasting a much better head-to-head record overall, Inter can tip the scales in their favor this weekend, with a win surely ruling out hopes of La Dea finally claiming the Scudetto.
