AC Milan, Napoli, Inter Milan, and Hellas Verona go into round No. 3 of the Serie A season, with two wins from two games.
Meanwhile, the table is being propped up by Lazio, Empoli, and Sassuolo. All three clubs are winless this term.
Bologna won their last three home matches against Cagliari in all competitions. The Rossoblu last faced Cagliari in the Coppa Italia in 2022-23. Cagliari are back in Serie A after winning promotion back to the top flight.
Cagliari failed to score in their opening two matches of the season. A nil-nil draw with Torino was followed by a 2-0 loss to Inter Milan.
Bologna are coming off a 1-1 draw versus Juventus at home. The Rossoblu had a difficult start to the season, facing AC Milan away before playing Juve. Bologna took one point from their two opening games.
Atalanta started the season well, with three points from two games. La Dea defeated Sassuolo 2-0 before losing 2-1 to Frosinone. The loss to the Lions was a shock after the strong opening-day win.
Monza are aiming for a second strong season in Serie A. The Reds lost 2-0 to Inter Milan to open the campaign in a difficult fixture. The team rebounded with a 2-0 win over Empoli in round No. 2.
Atalanta did the Serie A double over Monza last season. La Dea outscored Monza 7-2 in the two fixtures. Monza player Andrea Colpani has two goals this season.
Empoli shocked Juventus at home last season, with a 4-1 win. The victory ended a two-match losing streak to Juventus. The Bianconeri posted a record of four wins and two defeats in their last six games in all competitions.
Empoli did not start the new season in good form. The Azzurri failed to pick up points in their two opening matches. A 1-0 loss to Hellas Verona was followed by a 2-0 defeat to Monza.
Juventus showed their swagger on opening day thanks to a 3-0 win away to Udinese. The scoreline may have flattered the Bianconeri. A 1-1 draw versus Bologna followed. Striker Dusan Vhlahovic has two goals for Juventus this season in two matches.
Genoa are back in Serie A after a season away. The Grifone did not play well against Torino in their last six fixtures, posting 1W-1D-4L.
Genoa are fresh off a hard-fought 1-0 win over Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico. The win came on the heels of a round No. 1 home loss to Fiorentina by a score of 4-1.
Torino took a mere one point from the opening six on offer. A nil-nil draw with Cagliari was followed by a 4-1 loss to AC Milan. Torino may struggle this season, as was shown against Milan. However, Torino’s defence played well against newly-promoted Cagliari.
