Another great match is Lazio vs Napoli.  We will see the debut of Coach Carlo Ancelotti now coaching Napoli.  The objective for Napoli is to win the Scudetto and the experience of Ancelotti is surely a plus.

Two games were postponed in this round as a result of the Genova tragedy:  AC Milan vs Genoa and Fiorentina vs Sampdoria.

Great expectation to see the three teams promoted from Serie B in their debut in the Serie A:   Empoli, Parma, Frosinone.   Empoli will play against Cagliari at the Carlo Castellani Stadium.  Parma will play against Udinese at the Ennio Tardini Stadium, and Frosinone will play against Atalanta at the Atleti Azzurri D’Italia Stadium.

Sassuolo vs Inter promising to be a key match for Inter’s objective to become a main contender to win the Scudetto.  Inter with forward Mauro Icardi will look to send the strong signal that they are here to be a strong contender for the Scudetto, not only Juventus.

Bologna vs Spal, a real challenge for new Coach Filippo Inzaghi who replaced former Bologna Coach Roberto Donadoni.
