Significant changes took place in the upper part of the Serie A table after the last round of fixtures of November, as Napoli temporarily extended their lead at the top to four points, taking advantage of Lazio’s first league loss since mid-October.
The Biancocelesti fell to a 3-1 defeat at Parma, who put an end to their five-game winning streak to allow Napoli to increase their gap with the runner-up spot.
The Partenopei secured a 1-0 win through Scott McTominay’s goal at Torino and also took advantage of the postponement of Fiorentina vs Inter, which was abandoned after 17 minutes of play after Viola midfielder Edoardo Bove suddenly collapsed and will have to be rescheduled.

Raffaele Palladino’s side and the Nerazzurri sat second, level on 28 points with Lazio, meaning they’re also four points behind the Serie A leaders and will probably have a game in hand for several weeks, considering the congestion in their fixture list.
Juventus wasted the chance of leapfrogging the above-mentioned sides by throwing away a single-goal lead in stoppage time at Lecce in a 1-1 draw, as they remain sixth.
Milan, in contrast, closed in on the Bianconeri thanks to a 3-0 home victory against Empoli on Saturday, and their distance with Thiago Motta’s side could be virtually further reduced if they win their fixture at Bologna, which was also postponed and will be played in 2025.

The Rossoblu are building Serie A consistency as they scored three goals past relegation-threatened Venezia to earn their fourth win in five league games, while strugglers Cagliari and Genoa picked up crucial points by beating Verona and Udinese respectively.
Atalanta still have the chance to keep their gap with Napoli unchanged by beating Claudio Ranieri’s Roma on Monday evening, which would see them go second alone on 31 points.
