Serie A keep on rolling after the midweek matchday, and Round 6 is already here. It will be opened by Milan visiting Spezia and capped off by Venezia hosting Torino Monday night. It will feature two highly-anticipated matches, the Rome Derby and Inter-Atalanta. Napoli will have strong chances to keep it going as they will play the reeling Cagliari at home. Juventus will look to find some momentum versus Sampdoria after a slump-busting win.
Fiorentina will attempt to get back on track in Udine after the bitter loss to Inter. Genoa and Verona will tangle Saturday night trying to distance themselves from the lower part of the table. Bologna will visit Empoli after two negative results in a row. Sassuolo will seek to avoid the fourth consecutive loss at home against Salernitana.
Roma will not have Lorenzo Pellegrini in the Derby, although José Mourinho said that will try to overturn the suspension, which would be unprecedented. Milan lost Alessandro Florenzi to an injury, but they will have back Olivier Giroud and Davide Calabria. Nothing serious for Federico Chiesa after bowing out in the previous game. Fiorentina will be missing two linchpins, Nicolas Gonzalez and Gaetano Castrovilli, versus Udinese.
