The top four in Serie A are only separated by four points as impressive runs by Inter Milan and Atalanta have seen shifting the landscape in the race for the scudetto, which makes this an especially intriguing weekend with a lot of the top sides going head to head. While Inter will probably not have too much trouble traveling to Salernitana, Atalanta will welcome Roma while the match of the weekend will be Napoli at the San Siro against second-place AC Milan.

Paramount+ and CBS Sports Network are bringing their coverage on the road to the legendary San Siro in Milan as Serie A analyst Matteo Bonetti and play-by-play commentator Andres Cordero will be on-site to call the match, alongside former Serie A star Christian “Bobo” Vieri as a special guest analyst. Here’s everything you need to know about the weekend’s biggest Serie A matches.

  • Date: Sunday, Dec. 19 | Time: 2:45 p.m. ET
  • TV: CBS Sports Network | Live stream: Paramount+
  • Caesars Sportsbook odds: AC Milan +128; Draw +245; Napoli +210  

Why watch: Milan have had one of the best attacks in the league, averaging 2.1 goals per game (third-best) and are facing one of the better defenses in Napoli. While Napoli have taken some injury hits, they still have enough firepower to get a result if Lorenzo Insigne can perform to expectations. Insigne has only scored four goals from an expected goals of 9.3. He’s getting into good positions but not finishing his chances. Given Insigne’s pedigree, this isn’t expected to continue for long. Milan don’t have history on their side having only won one of their last 13 Serie A matches against Napoli, but they’ll hope to turn things around on…
