As the Serie A returns for Matchday 8, several compelling narratives are set to unfold across the Italian football landscape. This weekend promises thrilling encounters, starting with a top-four clash in Turin.
Juventus vs Lazio
Juventus hosts Lazio, both teams currently level on points in third and fourth place. Juventus has a strong home record against Lazio, but the visitors are in good form, having won two of their last three meetings. The standout player for Lazio is Nuno Tavares, who is on the verge of setting a record for defensive assists.
AC Milan vs Udinese
Meanwhile, AC Milan’s Christian Pulisic is on fire, having scored in four consecutive matches. He will look to extend his streak against Udinese and join an elite group of Milan legends with five straight goals.
AS Roma vs Inter
In Rome, on Sunday AS Roma will face champions Inter Milan in what could be a defining match for manager Ivan Jurić. Despite a rocky start, Roma has shown resilience, but Inter arrives riding a three-game winning streak and aims to make history by scoring their 300th goal against Roma.
Empoli vs Napoli
Scott McTominay, who has quickly become a fan favorite at Napoli, aims to extend his goal involvement streak against Empoli. His high work rate and consistent performances have endeared him to the Napoli faithful.
Venezia vs Atalanta
