Game of the week: Inter vs. Juventus
The Derby d’Italia between Inter and Juventus will take place this Sunday in Milan as the Nerazzurri will host the side coached by Thiago Motta for one of the most awaited games of the season. The Nerazzurri come from four wins in a row in all competitions and need another win to cement their status at the top of the table as favorites despite Napoli’s recent performances. Juventus, on the other hand, come from their first defeat of the season against Stuttgart and need to react despite the injuries.

Fiorentina face Roma
After a disappointing home game against Inter, Ivan Juric’s side needs to react and try to win against Fiorentina away on Sunday.

Bologna vs. AC Milan postponed
The matchup between Bologna and AC Milan was postponed by the Italian authorities due to the bad weather forecasts after a challenging week for the Italian region Emilia Romagna. After severe floods, the game was postponed and will be played later during the season. For this reason, we won’t see USMNT Christian Pulisic playing this week in the Italian Serie A.
