For the moment, Udinese is taking the lead with 21 points followed by Lazio also with 21 goals after the suspension from Napoli v Juventus. Juventus can take back the sole leadership only if they defeat Palermo despite the result from Udinese and Lazio Juventus have 19 points, with 1 game postponed.
The real news is in the relegation area with one possible guest in the red spot. Inter are in the 17th position with only 8 points and if losing against Cagliari or even a draw can bring them down to the bottom area if Novara and Lecce win their respective games.
