Verona vs Sassuolo
Verona has so far earned 3 points and is currently in 17th place, just above the relegation zone. Their offense is struggling, having scored only two goals in 5 matches, while they have conceded 8 goals. In the last round, they lost 2-0 to Roma, and before that, they drew with Juventus. The team, led by Paolo Zanetti, usually plays with a strong defense and waits for counterattacks, but they lack finishing skills. They are still looking for their first win this season, with 2 draws and 3 losses.
Sassuolo enters this round sitting in 13th place. Fabio Grosso’s team achieved an important 3-1 victory over Udinese in the last round. Their attack is working well, featuring players like Fabio, Cheddira, and Fadera. However, their defense still makes mistakes, having also conceded 8 goals in these 5 matches. After 5 games, they have two wins and 3 losses.
The quality and form are in favor of the visitors, but Verona will try to take advantage of playing at home to secure their first win of the season. A draw seems to be the most likely outcome.

Lazio vs Torino
Lazio is currently in 12th place with 6 points. They have scored 7 goals and conceded 4 so far. Their defense is generally solid, and their attack is performing well too. In the last round, they defeated Genoa 0-3, following narrow losses to Roma 0-1 and Sassuolo 1-0.
The team, led by Maurizio Sarri, relies on their attacking quality, with Castellanos being one of the most effective players, having scored 2 goals and provided 3 assists so far. After playing 5 matches, they have 2 wins and 3 losses, showcasing some talented individuals, and we expect them to improve their form.
Torino has 4 points so far, but their efficiency is below par with only 2 goals scored and a concerning 10 goals conceded. In their last match, they lost away to Parma 2-1. Their only victory so far was against Roma in the 3rd round. The team, managed by Marco Baroni, is struggling with offensive production, and their negative goal difference suggests that their defense is a bigger issue.
Lazio appears to be more stable and disciplined on the field, and we expect them to take advantage of their home ground. Torino will likely defend deep and try to score from set pieces or counterattacks.

Parma vs Lecce
Parma didn’t start the season very well and currently has 5 points, placing them in 15th position. They have struggled with scoring, having only made 3 goals while conceding 6. In the last round, they achieved their first win of the season against Torino at home with a score of 2:1. This is a good sign that Carlos Cuesta’s team is building strength in defense and gradually increasing their intensity in attack, with Pellegrino and Cutrone leading the offense.
Lecce is at the bottom in 20th place with only two points so far. Their last match ended in a 2–2 draw with Bologna, which was a step forward as it broke their losing streak, but overall their form is not good. They have scored 4 goals but have conceded a whopping 10, often making mistakes in crucial moments. The team is managed by Francesco Di Eusebio, who has a lot of work ahead to pull the team out of this early-season crisis.
Parma’s home ground gives them a favorite status, and they have performed better compared to their opponent today throughout the season. Lecce will try to capitalize on transitions and set pieces, but their overall form remains weak.

Inter vs Cremonese
Inter started the season in variable form and is currently in 5th place with 9 points. Their attack is working well, having scored 13 goals, while they have conceded 7. After a series of two losses, Cristian Chivu’s team got back on track with two victories. Their attack is their strongest asset, boasting the best offensive record among the top teams, with Thuram and Lautaro Martinez being key players in the offense.
They are also part of the Champions League group stage, where they defeated Ajax away in the first round, and on Tuesday, they achieved a 3-0 victory over Slavia Prague.
Cremonese, led by Davide Nicola, is a real surprise, sitting in 7th place and still unbeaten this season. They have 9 points, having scored 6 goals and conceded 4. In the last round, they drew 1-1 with Como, marking their 3rd consecutive draw. The team plays disciplined football and concedes few goals. In attack, they have Bonazzoli and Zerbin, while the midfield looks solid with Vazquez and Terracciano.
The offensive and fast-paced Inter faces the tactically disciplined Cremonese. However, the home advantage and individual quality are on the side of the hosts.

Atalanta vs Como
Atalanta, under the leadership of Ivan Juric, can be pleased with their start to the season, currently sitting in 6th place with 9 points. They drew against Juventus last round, away from home, with a score of 1:1. They remain unbeaten this season, having played 5 matches, achieving 2 wins and 3 draws. Their attack is strong, with 10 goals scored, and both Krstovic and Sulemana have netted 2 goals each so far. Their defense is solid, having conceded only 4 goals.
In the first round of the Champions League, they were outplayed by PSG, losing 4:0, but on Tuesday, they defeated Club Brugge KV with a score of 2:1.
Como is a nice surprise and continues to play steadily this season. Cesc Fabregas’s team has 8 points, scoring 6 goals and allowing 4. In the last round, they drew 1–1 with Cremonese, and before that, they had two consecutive wins. Their biggest weapon is the young Nico Paz, who has 3 goals and 3 assists, making him one of the top players in the league. After playing 5 matches, they have lost once, won twice, and drawn twice.
Atalanta is skilled and playing at home, but Como has already shown that they can surprise even the favorites. A dynamic match is expected, but the difference in stability and individual quality favors the home team. Still, we expect the guests to have some shining moments during the game.

Udinese vs Cagliari
Udinese is in 11th place with 7 points and they have scored 5 goals, but they have also conceded 8 goals. The team, led by Kosta Runjaic, had two consecutive wins, but in the last two matches, they faced two losses. Still, the team’s stability is noticeable, although defensive mistakes are clear, especially at crucial moments in the game. Keinan Davis is a key player in the attack with two goals scored so far, and Iker Bravo and Lovric have also made it onto the scoring list.
Cagliari, led by Fabio Pisacane, has the same number of points as today’s opponent, but they have a better goal difference, having scored 5 and conceded the same amount. The team is known for its fighting spirit and solid defense. In the last round, they were defeated at home by Inter with a score of 0–2, which showed that they lack efficiency against strong teams.
Meanwhile, in the Coppa Italia, they managed to beat Frosinone. After playing 5 matches, they have achieved two wins, two losses, and one draw.
This match is a direct battle for the middle of the table. Udinese has a slight advantage with home field and more variety in their attack, but we still give the edge for victory to the home team.

Bologna vs Pisa
Bologna, under the leadership of Vincenzo Italiano, didn’t start the season as expected and is currently in 9th place with 7 points. They have scored 5 goals and conceded the same number, and in the last round, they played an exciting match that ended 2–2 against Lecce, showing both strength and vulnerability.
The main star is Orsolini, who has scored 3 goals, and Castro and Odgaard provide additional support in the attack. The team struggles with consistency and sometimes loses points against weaker opponents. In the group stage of the Europa League, they were defeated by Aston Villa away with a score of 1:0 in the first round, and on Thursday, they hosted Freiburg and drew 1:1.
Pisa is currently in a weak position, sitting at 18th place with only 2 points. They are struggling with their efficiency, having scored three goals but conceded six. Under the leadership of Alberto Gilardino, the team faces serious issues in finishing their chances. They play in a disciplined manner, but they lack offensive strength. Their last match ended in a 0–0 draw against Fiorentina, which is a good sign for their defense, but their attack remains the weakest part. After playing 5 matches, they are still without a win, having lost 3 times and drawn 2.
Bologna is the favorite at home, boasting a stronger squad and greater individual talent. Pisa will play defensively and try to earn a point. We expect the home team to secure 3 points.

Fiorentina vs AS Roma
Fiorentina, under Stefano Pioli, is struggling and has only 3 points after five matches, placing them in 16th position. They have drawn 3 games so far and lost 2, showing poor performance with only 3 goals scored and 6 goals conceded. In their last match, they drew 0-0 with Pisa, which brought a bit of stability, but they lack ideas in attack.
The main players in the attack are Gudmundsson and Piccoli, while Moise Kean is suspended for this match due to a red card. On Thursday, they played their first match in the group stage of the Conference League, hosting Sigma Olomouc and achieving a 2-0 victory.
AS Roma has had a great start to the season and is currently in 3rd place with 12 points. So far, they are the best defensive team in the league, having only conceded one goal while scoring five. In the last round, they celebrated a 2–0 victory over Verona, once again demonstrating maturity and discipline.
The team is led by Gian Piero Gasperini, with key players like Matias Soule and Ferguson driving the offense. After playing 5 matches, they have 4 wins and 1 loss. In the first round of the Europa League group stage, they defeated Nice, but on Thursday, they faced Lille and lost 0:1.
This is a clash between a team in crisis and a team performing at a high level. Although Fiorentina will try to take advantage of playing at home, the difference in form is clear.

Napoli vs Genoa
Napoli has had a great start to the season, currently sitting in 2nd place with 12 points, the same number as AC Milan and AS Roma. They have a strong attack, scoring 10 goals while conceding 5. With four wins and one loss, they were defeated by AC Milan away with a score of 2:1 in the last round.
Their attack is among the best in the league, and with De Bruyne, who has scored 3 goals so far, the team has a great connection in the midfield. Of course, the support from McTominay is also important. In the first round of the Champions League group stage, they were outplayed by Manchester City, but on Wednesday, they hosted Sporting CP and won 2:1.
Genoa, under the leadership of Patrick Vieira, is struggling and currently sits in 19th place with only 2 points. They have a weak scoring record, having only scored two goals so far, while conceding 7. In their last match, they lost at home to Lazio with a score of 0–3, which highlighted their defensive vulnerabilities. Their attack is the weakest in the league, and they need to improve it if they want to avoid fighting for survival this season.
Given the difference in quality and form, Napoli is the clear favorite. Genoa will fight for points, but Antonio Conte will not allow any slip-ups.

Juventus vs AC Milan
Juventus is in 4th place with 11 points, just one point behind today’s opponent. They are still unbeaten after playing 5 matches, and they are doing great in attack with 9 goals scored. They have a strong offense led by Vlahovic, who has scored two goals so far, and the young Yildiz, who has one goal and 3 assists.
In their last match, they drew 1–1 with Atalanta in a game where they were disciplined but couldn’t create enough chances to win. Their defense is solid, and the midfield controls the game well. In the first round of the Champions League group stage, they played an exciting match and drew 4:4 with Dortmund, and on Wednesday, they visited Villarreal and again drew, this time 2:2.
AC Milan enters this round as the table leader, having earned 12 points so far. They have a great attack, scoring 9 goals, and a solid defense, allowing only 3 goals. In the derby against Napoli, they won 2–1, sending a clear message that they are ready for the title. Pulisic is in fantastic form with 4 goals and 2 assists, supported by experienced players Modric and Saelemaekers. Their defense is the most stable part, conceding just three goals. We also expect Leao Rafael to return for this match after his injury.
This derby presents a strong tactical battle. Juventus will rely on discipline and physical play, while Milan will try to leverage the quality of their creative players. It’s hard to predict the winner, but we expect both teams, with their excellent offense, to score at least one goal.
