In the fourth episode of the TFA 2020/21 Serie A podcast, we discuss the numbers and performances of Serie A leaders, AC Milan, who have gone 24 games in all competitions without losing since the June restart (1:50).

We stress on the pivotal role that physically-structured and astute #9s play in most Serie A’s formations (15:25), before breaking down some of the trends shown by Sassuolo and Atalanta this season (24:15). Finally, we preview two must-watch matches of the upcoming weekend, Lazio-Juventus and Atalanta-Inter (31:10).

In the seventh episode of our TFA Serie A podcast, we provide match analysis from this past week, with emphasis on Juventus-Torino (2:30), Napoli-Roma (7:10), Lazio-Milan and Bologna-Inter (20:55). What were the chances for Insigne’s curler to go past Roma’s goalkeeper Pau López? Why did second-placed Lazio look so shaky against the Rossoneri?
We then preview Juventus-Milan (28:00), a match-up between two sides who are enjoying strong momentum in the league. Will the Bianconeri feel the absence of Paulo Dybala on top and De Ligt in the back? We also take a look of what to expect from Hellas Verona-Inter (34:30), two similar formations employing a defensive line of three, as well as match-ups in and around the relegation zone, specifically Udinese-Sampdoria and Torino-Brescia (36:30).
Finally, we owe a shout-out to Benevento (40:00), Filippo Inzaghi’s Serie B side who achieved promotion with seven games to spare and will play Serie A football next season.

In the sixth episode of our Serie A podcast, we analyse what happened over the past week, when 62 goals were scored across 17 Serie A matches (1:00). We begin with Lazio vs. Fiorentina (3:30), a game that starred the league's top-scorer Ciro Immobile and the league’s assist leader Luis Alberto. It also featured a beautiful goal by evergreen Franck Ribéry! We look at the AC Milan win over Roma (20:20) and break down Roma’s defensive mistake that led to Ante Rebić scoring the winner for the rossoneri.
We preview the big battle at the bottom of the table between Lecce and Sampdoria, two teams currently separated by only one point (25:30). We then look at what to expect in Atalanta-Napoli (29:50), the Turin derby between Juventus and Torino (38:30), and Roma-Udinese (41:15).
Finally, Steve (43:30), Daniele (48:40), and Chris (50:30) test the group’s Serie A knowledge with quizzes. Which team completes the most forward passes in the league? Which teams have the toughest and easiest schedule ahead of them? Upon moving to Barcelona, Miralem Pjanić will be the third footballer to have played with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo: who are the other two?
