Serie A

Serie A is one of the top five football leagues in the world. All this makes Serie A todays football scores live extremely interesting for fans watching football matches on TV or on the Internet.

Inter Milan and Milan are considered the most popular and titled football clubs in the country. In the Serie A table, they continue to regularly lead, which contributes to the play in European competitions. In addition to them, the following teams are always mentioned among applicants for senior positions: 

  •         Napoli;
  •         Lazio;
  •       Roma.

However, Italy is not the country where the capital's teams lead in football and today's football livescores  confirms this if you look at the football statistics websites. Roma and Lazio have won 4 championships in their history. At the very beginning of the league's existence, Genoa dominated it and by 1924 had already won 9 titles. Torino is also an award-winning club that has won 7 times just like Bologna. Another club has taken first place in the Serie A table seven times, but, unlike the teams mentioned above, does not play in the elite division. We are talking about Pro Vercelli, which is currently in Serie C - at the third level of the game. The team from Turin celebrated all their successes in the years 1908-1921.

Serie A format

Modern table for serie A consists of 20 teams, and the games are played in a round-robin system, with rematches. This means that each club must face each of the 19 opponents twice - at home and away. The team with the most points after 38 rounds becomes the national champion. It is the points that determine who and what place will take in the Italian league table. If the club's track record is the same, played games are counted, then the goal balance and the number of goals scored / conceded are indicated. Teams from 1st to 4th place are taking part in the next Champions League. The fifth team goes to the group stage of the Europa League, while the sixth team goes to this tournament through the qualifying stage. This is how the table for A serie is built, which can be found on the sports statistics website. 

Defense is a very important aspect of playing in Italian league matches. Teams from this country are known for their dense and organized defense and this is where they begin to form their lineup. Juventus managed to create one of the best defensive blocks in the world, and then add to it a very effective attack, which brought the club many successes on the domestic stage. In terms of international trophies, the Bianconeri did not win for a long time, despite participating in many Champions League finals.
