In the 20th round of Serie A, many strong teams stumbled, with Atalanta, Juventus, and AC Milan all only managing draws. Atalanta visited Udinese and could only secure a 0-0 draw. In this match, Atalanta performed very poorly, with only four shots throughout the game. Udinese had 12 shots, eight more than Atalanta. However, Atalanta was lucky as the goalpost twice denied Sanchez's shots. Lukman, De Ketelaere, and Pasalic all played poorly. This match marked the third consecutive game without a win for Atalanta, plunging the team into difficulties.

Juventus also managed a draw away from home. Facing Torino, Juventus started perfectly with Ildiz scoring in the 8th minute to take the lead. Afterward, Gonzalez scored, but it was ruled offside, which was unfortunate. Torino equalized before halftime. Fraticci's long-range shot found the net, with the goalkeeper making no reaction. Neither side could score in the second half, resulting in a final score of 1-1! Juventus drew again; having played 19 league matches this season, they have drawn 12 times, with the number of draws equaling the sum of the top four, which is incredible.

AC Milan dropped points at home, being held to a draw by relegation-threatened Cagliari. AC Milan took the lead in the 51st minute through Morata's goal, but just four minutes later, Zoratia equalized. Zoratia's shot wasn't particularly threatening, but unexpectedly, Maignan made an error when saving the ball. As a result, AC Milan had to settle for a 1-1 outcome. AC Milan dominated the game with a high possession rate of 68% and 24 shots, yet they couldn't secure a win, failing to continue their excellent performance from the Italian Super Cup.
