After a week where Italian clubs competed in the Coppa Italia, it's time to focus on the upcoming matchdays in Serie A and Serie B. With most teams having played (including two in the Europa League, Roma and Lazio), there will be heightened attention in their battles against rivals.
Starting with Serie A, Milan, coming off a victory in the Milan derby, will face Lecce in the Friday night match. Saturday, September 28, offers three particularly intriguing fixtures. Inter will seek redemption for their poor performance against AC Milan when they take on Udinese, the surprise of the early season. Juventus will head to Marassi to face Genoa, fresh from an intense Coppa Italia derby against Sampdoria. Bologna vs. Atalanta is the weekend's most anticipated match.
Top-of-the-table Torino will face another tough challenge against Lazio. Roma and Napoli will take on Venezia and Monza, respectively, while Como will look for another three points after their incredible feat in Bergamo. The weekend wraps up with the Tuscan derby between Empoli and Fiorentina, and Parma vs. Cagliari.
In Serie B, Sassuolo vs. Spezia will be the centerpiece of the seventh matchday. Pisa, currently leading the table, will face a difficult test at Juve Stabia, while the Lombardy derby between Brescia and Cremonese stands out among the most interesting matches. Palermo will take on Sudtirol in a challenging away game, while Bari, showing clear signs of improvement, will host Cosenza at the "San Nicola". Sampdoria and Frosinone are both searching for a victory to end their poor run in the league. The passionate fan bases of Salernitana and Catanzaro will clash, while Carrarese-Reggiana and Cesena-Mantova round off the action.
