SERIE A RESULTS, RANKING: BOLOGNA'S AWAY SUCCESS!
Once the second half of the matches that started at 3pm has also ended, let's analyze the most recent Serie A 2024/2025 results and the ranking situation for this seventeenth matchday, waiting for the matches scheduled at 6.00pm and 8.45pm. At the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, Bologna beat Torino 2-0 away thanks to goals scored by Dallinga in the 74th minute and then by Pobega in the 83rd minute. In this way the rossoblu overtake Milan and join Juventus in the standings, reaching 28 points. Soon it will therefore be the turn of Genoa-Napoli while the Saturday championship will be completed by the match between Lecce and Lazio this evening. (update by Alessandro Rinoldi)
CASTRO MISSED PENALTY!
The first half of the matches which began at 3pm ended a few moments ago and we are therefore analyzing the latest Serie A results for this seventeenth matchday while awaiting the matches at 6pm, between Genoa and Naples, and at 8.45pm, between Lecce and Lazio. In Piedmont, Torino are drawing 0-0 against Bologna after the rossoblu had a penalty kicked taken by Castro at the start of the 9th minute saved by Milinkovic-Savic and awarded due to a foul by Sosa on Holm. The Granata then had to replace Walukiewicz with Vojvoda due to injury around 35'. (update by Alessandro Rinoldi)
PLAYING IN TURIN!
Finally it's time to kick off the Saturday of the Serie A resultsthe first match is Torino Bologna and this gives us the opportunity to talk about the Bolognese who, hush hush, are virtually sixth in the standings because they find themselves -3 behind Juventus with a match to recover. A Bologna that perhaps acts under the radar for what it did last year, but that has little to envy of that team: Vincenzo Italiano got 25 points in 15 days with only two defeats, Thiago Motta had the same number of rounds … 25, losing twice. In short: the new Bologna runs like the old Bologna. The difference therefore does not lie in the rossoblu; lies in the rivals.
Napoli had already entered a crisis, Fiorentina and Lazio were absolutely not what they are today: the Viola, coached by the Italian himself, had scored 24 points while the Biancocelesti were even at 21. Today therefore we can talk about a Bologna that would still be at pace from the Champions League, but which unfortunately has to accept increased competition and, probably, also the fact that the fifth team in the championship will no longer qualify for the main cup; But now let's get back to talking about current affairs and make ourselves comfortable, finally everything is ready in Grande Torino and therefore we can leave all discussion to the Serie A results!

THE GREAT EX
As already mentioned, Marco Baroni is the great former nei Serie A results today, the Florentine coach returns to Via del Mare as an opponent to challenge, with his Lazio, the Lecce team he coached for two seasons between 2021 and 2023. Baroni had already led a team in Serie A, but in 2017 the Benevento had started the top flight with nine consecutive defeats and he had been sacked; in Lecce it hadn't gone this way and in fact salvation had even arrived early, at the end of the tournament the Salento players had scored 36 points.
For Baroni in two seasons a total of 27 wins, 26 draws and 23 defeats: positive balance and an excellent memory left at Via del Mare. The interruption of the relationship occurred almost immediately after the salvation, due to the lack of agreement on the renewal; Baroni thus went to Verona and kept them in Serie A. Among other things, it must be remembered that the Florentine also played for Lecce, and also in this case he obtained a promotion and salvation, indeed a fantastic ninth place under guide by Carlo Mazzone; it was between 1987 and 1989, the following year Baroni won the scudetto with Napoli by scoring the decisive goal on the last day. The beaten team? Lazio, the one he coaches today, was newly promoted at the time after three seasons in the second division. (updated by Claudio Franceschini)
NAPLES FOR THE TOP!
I Serie A results lead us to talk about the matches that are played as advances in the 17th day: we have already had one and it was Verona Milan, on Saturday 21 December here are three other events which as always start at 3.00 pm, here is the program Turin Bologna while at 6.00 pm we will move to Marassi to live Genoa Naplesfinally at 8.45pm here it is Lecce Lazio. Napoli therefore returns to play and, after the week in which they lost twice against Lazio, thus being eliminated from the Italian Cup, it restarted with the victory in Udine and confirmed that they are the second force in the standings, while waiting for Inter who have a match in hand.
By playing before Atalanta, at least for one evening Napoli could return to exploring that first position that they had been grasping for weeks: Antonio Conte doesn't say it and continues to underline how we must proceed step by step, but in the meantime his team is always there and from what he showed in the Serie A results of this first round he really has everything to lead the way until the end, perhaps trying to increase the competitiveness of the second lines during the winter transfer market. For today, among other things, pay attention to Genoa, still unbeaten in the four games with Patrick Vieira as a coach and therefore growing.
SERIE A RESULTS, RANKING: BARONI REDEMPTION?
I Serie A results as regards Saturday's advances, it naturally also concerns Lazio: last Monday the Biancocelesti suffered the largest home defeat in their history, the 0-6 suffered by Inter at the Olimpico was obviously sensational but perhaps the most important signal is that the fans have created a wall around the team, because most of the comments were about the fact that this Lazio team is doing very well and this defeat, against a superior opponent, is just an accident in the process from which they can start again even stronger, without alarmism but rather being proud of the journey.
Marco Baroni returns to Via del Mare where he was the protagonist of promotion and salvation, even the Salento teams like Genoa seem to have turned a corner and in the four games in which Marco Giampaolo sat on the bench they obtained 7 points, clearly there will always be something to sweat about and run to stay in the top league but in the meantime the Serie A results are giving us a healthy Lecce that certainly has the chance to play its cards against Lazio too, then we will obviously see what the pitch tells us in a few hours when will start playing…
