The eleventh matchday of Serie A opens with Saturday’s games, featuring Juventus and Milan hoping to gain momentum from their travels. Juventus visits Udinese at 6:00 PM, while Milan competes in a Milanese derby against Monza, a team full of familiar faces, including Galliani, Nesta, and Daniel Maldini.
The big match of the round takes place tomorrow at lunchtime at the Maradona Stadium, where two of the league’s most in-form teams will clash: Conte’s Napoli and Gasperini’s Atalanta. After a rocky start, Atalanta appears to have hit their stride and, with a win, could position themselves as serious contenders for the Scudetto. Napoli, currently leading with a four-point cushion over Inter, is in no mood to loosen their grip on the title, and under Conte’s guidance, they are not likely to let up.
On Sunday at 3:00 PM CET, Torino faces Fiorentina, with the home team coached by Vanoli looking to bounce back from a disappointing match against Roma. The Viola, having recently thrashed Roma two matches ago, arrive with confidence after a narrow victory in Genoa.
At 6:00 PM, Juric’s Roma will take the field again, still grappling with internal crises and struggles to find the back of the net. Their midweek win over Torino feels more like a temporary fix, as genuine signs of recovery are still awaited. Much hinges on Dybala’s technical leadership, which is hoped to compensate for the lack of strong guidance both on and off the pitch. The weekend concludes with a match at San Siro between Inter and Venezia, where the Nerazzurri are the clear favorites and aim to narrow the gap with Napoli, depending on whether Conte’s men can overcome Atalanta earlier in the day.
