Conte’s Napoli continues its impressive run in Serie A, reclaiming the top spot in the standings after a hard-fought 3-1 victory at home against a strong Como side in Friday’s match. The game was balanced for long stretches, but summer signings McTominay, Lukaku, and Neres proved decisive, as all three goals came from the new arrivals.
Meanwhile, Verona came from behind to defeat Venezia 2-1 after the visitors initially took the lead. If Monza manages a result against Roma, Di Francesco’s side will find itself alone at the bottom of the table.
Today, both Inter and Atalanta are in action. Simone Inzaghi’s Inter will face Torino at San Siro, with Vanoli’s well-organized team proving to be one of the surprise packages of the season so far. Atalanta, struggling after a poor start to the season, will look to bounce back against another underperformer, Gilardino’s Genoa.
Sunday’s fixtures feature some standout clashes, including Juventus versus Cagliari in the lunchtime match at the Allianz Stadium. The Emilia Derby between Bologna and Parma will take place at 3 p.m., alongside Lazio-Empoli at the Stadio Olimpico.
All eyes will be on the evening’s marquee match at 8:45 p.m., as Fiorentina hosts Milan at the Stadio Artemio Franchi. Another point of interest will be whether Juric’s Roma can recover in the league following their humiliating Europa League defeat in Sweden against Elfsborg.
