After seven matchdays, Serie A has an unusual table considering its historical standards. Napoli and Atalanta share the first place, closely followed by the early revelation Udinese and Lazio. The Biancocelesti are on a par with Milan, while other title contenders Roma, Inter, and Juventus are currently on the outside looking in the Champions League zone.
The Nerazzurri have already been defeated three times following the successful comeback by the Friulani. The Old Lady are coming off their first domestic loss. They have prevailed just twice so far, sharing the spoils on four occasions. The Giallorossi have dropped two of the past three matches.
As Goal indicates, Milan, Inter, and Juventus all lost in the same weekend for the first time since the seventh round of the 2015/2016 season. At the time, the two crosstown rivals slipped up versus Fiorentina and Genoa, while the Bianconeri had faux-pas against the Partenopei.
Serie A will reprise with another mouth-watering slate following the international break. Napoli will get things started versus the combative Torino, which will look to bounce back after two bitter results. Inter and Roma will collide trying to find the way out of their struggles.
Milan will visit Empoli, which just got their first win by pipping Salernitana. Instead, Juventus will be hoping for a better showing as they host the new-look Bologna on Sunday night. Atalanta will face Fiorentina, while Udinese will close out the matchday against Verona on the road Monday.
