Serie A

Serie A is the top division of Italian football. 20 teams compete for the Scudetto every season, with Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan as the most successful clubs in its history. In recent years, Inter and Napoli have had memorable campaigns that have restored the league's competitive appeal.

Historically known for its tactical and defensive solidity, Italian Serie A has evolved towards a more attacking style over the last decade. Statistical analysis of Serie A is especially valuable for defensive metrics: clean sheets, goals conceded and structural solidity are areas where Italian teams still stand out in Europe.
