The second weekend of Serie A kicks off today and runs until Monday. The first matchday provided promising insights into the competitiveness of this season, both at the top and the bottom of the table. Among the most surprising results were Napoli's defeat in Verona and the draws for Milan and Inter. The second round takes place just a week before the transfer window closes, which could still bring some joy to the fans.
Napoli vs. Bologna stands out as the most intriguing fixture. Antonio Conte's team aims to erase the heavy 3-0 defeat to Hellas Verona and address various issues related to their new signings. Bologna, on the other hand, is coming off a home draw against Udinese, despite a solid performance.
Verona will be looking for another upset against Thiago Motta's Juventus, who impressed against Como by showcasing the talents of their new signings and a few surprising young players.
Inter is eager to bounce back from the painful 2-2 draw in Genoa and will host Lecce at San Siro, who were soundly defeated 4-0 by Atalanta at the Via del Mare.
Milan, who staged a remarkable comeback to draw 2-2 with Torino at San Siro, will visit Parma, who put in a strong showing against Fiorentina. The Rossoneri will miss key attackers Morata and likely Pulisic.
The match between Torino and Atalanta promises to be interesting, especially after the transfer deal that sent Raoul Bellanova to Bergamo. Roma-Empoli will be played under the banner of Paulo Dybala, who chose to stay with the Giallorossi despite being courted by Saudi Arabia's Al-Qadsiah.
