Serie A returns with the first Friday matches scheduled during the final hours of the summer transfer window. The third matchday kicks off with Venezia-Torino, while the first big match of the new season will take place in the evening. At San Siro, the reigning Italian champions Inter will host Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta.
Tomorrow, Lazio will face Milan at the Stadio Olimpico: the Rossoneri have only managed one point in the first two games and are under pressure to deliver. The same goes for Daniele De Rossi’s Roma. The Giallorossi also have just one point, already trailing by five points behind Thiago Motta’s Juventus, who will host Dybala and his teammates at the Allianz Stadium. The big match is scheduled for Sunday evening at 20:45, with the potential debut of the latest major signing, Teun Koopmeiners.
Juventus is aiming for their third win in as many matches to send a strong early signal in the league. For Roma and De Rossi, it’s almost a last-chance scenario: a defeat would see the Giallorossi fall eight points behind Juve. Finally, Napoli, under Antonio Conte, will host the surprising Parma, coached by Fabio Pecchia, at the Maradona Stadium on Saturday at 20:45.
Abroad, the standout match is Manchester United vs. Liverpool. The English Derby is set for Sunday at 17:00 at Old Trafford. At 14:30, all eyes will also be on Newcastle-Tottenham, while Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City faces a tricky away game against West Ham on Saturday.
In Germany, Bayer Leverkusen will clash with Leipzig, while French champions PSG will visit another Champions League-bound team, Lille. In Spain, Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid will host Betis, with Kylian Mbappé still seeking his first goal in La Liga.
