The Milan clubs are leading the way in Serie A after seven matches. Inter Milan and AC Milan are locked on 18 points ahead of the week’s round of matches.
Meanwhile, Napoli, Juventus, and Fiorentina are trying to stay in the title race and linger just behind the Milanese clubs.
Inter will host Bologna on Saturday at the San Siro, as they look for a second straight Serie A win. The Nerazzurri won their last three games at San Siro against Bologna, racking up 15 goals in the process. The last time these teams played in Milan, Inter won 6-1.
Bologna go into the game unbeaten in their last six matches in Serie A. The Rossoblu are lingering in midtable, with 10 points from seven games. Bologna go into the match following a 3-0 win over Empoli.
Inter defeated Salernitana 4-0 last weekend following a 2-1 loss to Sassuolo at home. No team has scored more goals than Inter’s 19 this term.
Genoa are fresh off a 2-2 draw with Udinese in Serie A. The draw came days after a shock 4-1 win against Roma. AC Milan are second in the league thanks to goal difference. Since losing the Milan Derby, the Rossoneri have won three straight games.
AC Milan went unbeaten in five of their last six head-to-head games versus Genoa. These teams did not play last season due to Genoa playing in Serie B. Milan picked up 15 points from the last six games, scoring 13 goals. But they conceded eight times.
Genoa took eight points from the last six matches. They don’t score many goals, just nine in the last six games.
Frosinone went unbeaten in five of their last six games against Hellas Verona in all competitions. However, these teams have not met since 2017, so the trends could change this weekend.
Hellas Verona are in poor form ahead of round No. 8. They failed to win any of their last five matches and sit in 15th place. Verona scored just four goals in the opening seven rounds. It isn’t the worst goal return in Serie A but one of the worst.
Frosinone have had a good start to the campaign, picking up nine points from seven matchdays. However, they are coming off a 2-0 loss to Roma away from home. Frosinone scored just two goals in their last three matches.
Rome went unbeaten in five of their last six matches versus Cagliari in all competitions. These teams last played in 2021-22 due to Cagliari playing in Serie B in the between time.
The Islanders are playing like a newly promoted club. They are 20th in the division and are on a three-match losing streak. Cagliari scored just two goals in their opening seven matches.
Roma are experiencing the third-year curse of Jose Mourinho. He doesn’t typically do well in season No. 3 at a club. So far, Roma are 13th in the league standings, with eight points from 21 on offer. Despite scoring 15 goals, they conceded 11. Roma are coming off a 2-0 win over Frosinone.
