&lt;p&gt;Serie A Enilive returns after the second international break of the season with a thrilling weekend of games ahead, with important matches at the top of the table as well as at the other end of the league. The Rome sides take on Juventus and Inter in two clashes concerning the top of the table while Napoli, travel to Empoli in what should be a difficult game, given that no team has managed to score away to Empoli, AC Milan host Udinese at the Meazza, with the bianconeri two points ahead of the rossoneri in the league. The two opening matches of Matchday Eight, Como vs. Parma and Genoa vs. Bologna, scheduled for Saturday at 15:00 CEST, concerns the bottom half of the table, just like the last game of the Matchday, between Hellas Verona and Monza.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Como&lt;/strong&gt; and Parma kick off Matchday eight with a clash between two newly promoted sides, the first of the season. The biancoblu, still &lt;strong&gt;unbeaten at the Sinigaglia&lt;/strong&gt;, look to gain their second consecutive win in the league. To do so, they will need to improve in defence, having conceded at least two goals in their last four matches. In particular, only Real Valladolid and Le Havre have conceded more goals from &lt;strong&gt;players who have been subbed&lt;/strong&gt; on in the Top-5 European league (six compared to Como’s five). &lt;strong&gt;Parma&lt;/strong&gt;, however, are on the hunt for their first away win and haven’t won in five games. The gialloblù have had problems in the final phase of matches they have played, with eight goals conceded in the &lt;strong&gt;last half hour&lt;/strong&gt; of play, more than any other side in Serie A.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;81aece01-0211-484c-9ee6-9dcc896d23bc&#34; data-image-id=&#34;81aece01-0211-484c-9ee6-9dcc896d23bc&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/304f1ab3-0435-4bb8-86a4-20ceb1704109/Sito_HERO_como.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;81aece01-0211-484c-9ee6-9dcc896d23bc&#34; data-image-id=&#34;81aece01-0211-484c-9ee6-9dcc896d23bc&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the same time, &lt;strong&gt;Genoa&lt;/strong&gt; host Bologna, with both sides looking for their second win of the season. The Liguri have lost four of their last five matches, conceding 13 goals in that time, and still haven’t won at the Ferraris. &lt;strong&gt;Bologna&lt;/strong&gt;, on the other hand, are the side with the most draws in the Top-5 leagues in Europe (5 from 7 just like Lens). The Felsinei come off the back of two consecutive &lt;strong&gt;draws&lt;/strong&gt; and boast the best rate of &lt;strong&gt;ball recoveries&lt;/strong&gt; in Serie A (348), while Genoa set themselves apart from the crowd from their ability from &lt;strong&gt;set-pieces&lt;/strong&gt;, having scored two of their five goals from these types of situations.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;19ed4655-98dd-41bb-afb4-a280abaf54ca&#34; data-image-id=&#34;19ed4655-98dd-41bb-afb4-a280abaf54ca&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/a2f93fe1-99d8-4ed1-9633-8c811e8a6e46/Sito_HERO_gen.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;19ed4655-98dd-41bb-afb4-a280abaf54ca&#34; data-image-id=&#34;19ed4655-98dd-41bb-afb4-a280abaf54ca&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Udinese&lt;/strong&gt; take on AC Milan at the Meazza at 18:00 CEST, with the last victorious away trip against the Rossoneri still in mind (1-0 last November), and are now looking for the&lt;strong&gt; double, something that the friulani have never done&lt;/strong&gt; in Serie A. The menenghini, after the defeat in Firenze, will look to make the most of &lt;strong&gt;their good home displays&lt;/strong&gt;, where they have won their last two games without conceding. The bianconeri, however, are aiming to continue their great start to the season and come into the game off the back of a win and clean sheet against Lecce. Both teams share a particular record: they are among the teams that have scored the &lt;strong&gt;most headed goals&lt;/strong&gt; (four each). Also, &lt;strong&gt;AC Milan&lt;/strong&gt; have had nine different goalscorers until this point, while Udinese have not dropped a point when they’ve been in a winning position.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;be01e70b-1567-423e-aa05-79552712eb7b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;be01e70b-1567-423e-aa05-79552712eb7b&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/1ff2437e-418d-44e7-b74d-63090c664837/Sito_HERO_mil.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;be01e70b-1567-423e-aa05-79552712eb7b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;be01e70b-1567-423e-aa05-79552712eb7b&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Saturday’s big match sees &lt;strong&gt;Juventus&lt;/strong&gt; take on Lazio, both with 13 points in the league, three points behind the leaders Napoli. Juventus, after&lt;strong&gt; three draws in a row at the Allianz Stadium&lt;/strong&gt;, will look to get back to winning ways in front of their fans. On the other hand, &lt;strong&gt;Lazio&lt;/strong&gt; come into the game in great form, with four consecutive wins in Serie A and Europa League. The two sides are those that have &lt;strong&gt;conceded the least shots against their opponents&lt;/strong&gt;, 49 for Juventus and 69 for Lazio. However, Thiago Motta’s men have managed to concede ten less than Barone’s: the biancocelesti have conceded most of their goals in the first &lt;strong&gt;15 minutes of play&lt;/strong&gt;, but have also gained seven points from &lt;strong&gt;losing positions&lt;/strong&gt;, more than any other side this season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;d061f8d6-429b-4e6e-9d7d-4e4ea46bdeb6&#34; data-image-id=&#34;d061f8d6-429b-4e6e-9d7d-4e4ea46bdeb6&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/73e55687-7c13-4e4e-b0e7-c074ec5c3c09/Sito_HERO_juv.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;d061f8d6-429b-4e6e-9d7d-4e4ea46bdeb6&#34; data-image-id=&#34;d061f8d6-429b-4e6e-9d7d-4e4ea46bdeb6&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The lunchtime match on Sunday, sees Napoli visit &lt;strong&gt;Empoli&lt;/strong&gt;, a side that have been a &lt;strong&gt;bogey side&lt;/strong&gt; for their opponents from Campania. The Tuscan side have won five of the last seven against the partenopei, including the two 1-0 wins from last season. This year, however, Empoli have not conceded a goal at home at D’Aversa, with &lt;strong&gt;three consecutive 0-0 draws&lt;/strong&gt;, and could become the first side in the history of Serie A to draw their first four home games without conceding. &lt;strong&gt;Napoli’s&lt;/strong&gt; defence are playing very well too, given that they have not conceded in their last two away games. Empoli and Napoli are two of the &lt;strong&gt;best defensive sides &lt;/strong&gt;in the league, with four and five goals conceded respectively. One factor that could stop this match from being a draw is management of the &lt;strong&gt;final stages of the match&lt;/strong&gt;: Empoli is one of the sides, alongside Lecce, that have not scored in the &lt;strong&gt;last 15 minutes&lt;/strong&gt; of play this season, a period of time in which Napoli have scored five goals, more than anyone in Serie A.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;9f738adf-9990-4d2f-ab84-34be309c39fc&#34; data-image-id=&#34;9f738adf-9990-4d2f-ab84-34be309c39fc&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/d66581ae-1ceb-43fb-8520-b9acc733267d/Sito_HERO_emp.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;9f738adf-9990-4d2f-ab84-34be309c39fc&#34; data-image-id=&#34;9f738adf-9990-4d2f-ab84-34be309c39fc&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two matches are scheduled for 15:00 on Sunday: &lt;strong&gt;Venezia vs. Atalanta &lt;/strong&gt;and&lt;strong&gt; Lecce vs. Fiorentina&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the Penzo, Atalanta look to continue their positive run against the Lagunari, against whom they have won the last five matches in Serie A. On the other hand, the Dea have struggled recently against newly promoted sides, losing their last two against such teams (Como and Cagliari). &lt;strong&gt;Venezia&lt;/strong&gt;, after a difficult start, won their last &lt;strong&gt;home match&lt;/strong&gt; and are aiming to gain two consecutive home wins, something they have not done in the top flight for twenty years, from a time when Luciano Spalletti was in charge of the arancioneroverdi. Di Francesco’s side set themselves apart for the amount of &lt;strong&gt;dribbles completed&lt;/strong&gt;, the highest number in the league, while &lt;strong&gt;Atalanta&lt;/strong&gt; will aim to make the most of &lt;strong&gt;dead ball&lt;/strong&gt; situations, having scored seven from such occasions, while Venezia have conceded just as many from these situations, more than any other team.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;3b12ca44-c33d-4c1f-960c-241b3bc48a61&#34; data-image-id=&#34;3b12ca44-c33d-4c1f-960c-241b3bc48a61&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/b42fbd04-ace7-4118-8f66-f33358c332cb/Sito_HERO_ven.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;3b12ca44-c33d-4c1f-960c-241b3bc48a61&#34; data-image-id=&#34;3b12ca44-c33d-4c1f-960c-241b3bc48a61&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lecce&lt;/strong&gt; host Fiorentina at Via del Mare, with the hope of returning to winning ways thanks to the support of their fans. The giallorossi gained four points from five in the last &lt;strong&gt;two home games&lt;/strong&gt;, where they have also scored all of their goals this season: the salentini, in fact, have the worst attack in the Top-5 european leagues with only three goals so far. &lt;strong&gt;Fiorentina&lt;/strong&gt;, however, have won two of the last three games in the league and look to get their first away win this season. The Viola have recovered five points from &lt;strong&gt;losing positions&lt;/strong&gt; and have one of the best defences in the league in the &lt;strong&gt;second half&lt;/strong&gt; of games, having only conceded one goal in seven matches.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;58ae6137-8f4b-48a5-8229-f9b79b22ed36&#34; data-image-id=&#34;58ae6137-8f4b-48a5-8229-f9b79b22ed36&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/2dadef35-07c6-4e42-9e96-9fec4096de06/Sito_HERO_lec.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;58ae6137-8f4b-48a5-8229-f9b79b22ed36&#34; data-image-id=&#34;58ae6137-8f4b-48a5-8229-f9b79b22ed36&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;At 18:00 CEST &lt;strong&gt;Cagliari&lt;/strong&gt; welcome Torino with the goal of &lt;strong&gt;winning their first home game&lt;/strong&gt;, after losing their first two without scoring. &lt;strong&gt;Torino&lt;/strong&gt;, off the back of two consecutive defeats in which they conceded three goals per game, will look to stop the rot and will rely on their &lt;strong&gt;ability to finish&lt;/strong&gt;, having scored at least two goals in each of their last three matches. Cagliari, however, haven’t managed to score in the first 30 minutes of play this season, but they will face a side that tends to concede opportunities: the granata are the one side that have conceded the most shots this season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;7ea90782-83c9-4b19-92c6-8e83116a8faa&#34; data-image-id=&#34;7ea90782-83c9-4b19-92c6-8e83116a8faa&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/f2dd81b1-4c8e-49df-9c78-3b37893be7b9/Sito_HERO_cag_.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;7ea90782-83c9-4b19-92c6-8e83116a8faa&#34; data-image-id=&#34;7ea90782-83c9-4b19-92c6-8e83116a8faa&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;For Sunday’s big match, Inter will aim to get back to the top of the table while &lt;strong&gt;Roma&lt;/strong&gt; will try not to lose track of the top positions. The giallorossi have lost their last three home games against the nerazzurri and Jurić’s side are determined to put an end to their &lt;strong&gt;negative spell&lt;/strong&gt;. Inzaghi’s &lt;strong&gt;Inter&lt;/strong&gt; have&lt;strong&gt; conceded nine goals&lt;/strong&gt; so far, the same number of goals that they conceded throughout the first half of the season last year. The &lt;strong&gt;approach to the game&lt;/strong&gt; could make the difference: at the Olimpico, they come up against the team that have scored the most goals in the first 15 minutes of play (four, Inter) and one of the three sides, with Parma and Juventus, that haven’t conceded a goal in the first 30 minutes of matches. A show, in any case, should be guaranteed, considering that Roma (118) and Inter (115) are respectively first and second for the number of &lt;strong&gt;shots attempted&lt;/strong&gt; this season in Serie A.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;f338bac9-1487-42ea-9fd5-8f7eb506a139&#34; data-image-id=&#34;f338bac9-1487-42ea-9fd5-8f7eb506a139&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/6e8895b1-9f22-4b5f-8d90-fea577c16ebb/Sito_HERO_rom.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;f338bac9-1487-42ea-9fd5-8f7eb506a139&#34; data-image-id=&#34;f338bac9-1487-42ea-9fd5-8f7eb506a139&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The matchday finishes on Monday evening with Hellas Verona vs. &lt;strong&gt;Monza&lt;/strong&gt;. The brianzoli will rely on their unbeaten streak against the scaligeri (two wins and two draws in Serie A), but they have only gained four points until this point in the league. Nesta’s side are looking for their first goal from a &lt;strong&gt;dead ball situation&lt;/strong&gt;: all of the five goals for the biancorossi have come from action. &lt;strong&gt;Verona&lt;/strong&gt;, on their part, already have three wins this season, two of which have come at the Bentegodi: the gialloblù, in particular, are particularly prolific in the &lt;strong&gt;second half of games&lt;/strong&gt;, when they have scored nine of their 12 goals (sixth best attack in the league), directly behind Real Madrid, in terms of teams in the Top-5 european leagues, with at least ten scored so far, which has the highest number of goals after the interval.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;13c7af2e-bfd5-4711-ace9-fbbfc049d9c0&#34; data-image-id=&#34;13c7af2e-bfd5-4711-ace9-fbbfc049d9c0&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/9bfa9813-a787-4fba-a6ae-8894da8e49d7/Sito_HERO_ver.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;13c7af2e-bfd5-4711-ace9-fbbfc049d9c0&#34; data-image-id=&#34;13c7af2e-bfd5-4711-ace9-fbbfc049d9c0&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;

Juventus vs. Lazio and Roma vs. Inter are the main dishes on this weekend’s menù of matches, while Napoli travel to Empoli in what is set to be a tough match. Two key clashes in the fight for survival open and close the weekend of games

Serie A Enilive returns after the second international break of the season with a thrilling weekend of games ahead, with important matches at the top of the table as well as at the other end of the league. The Rome sides take on Juventus and Inter in two clashes concerning the top of the table while Napoli, travel to Empoli in what should be a difficult game, given that no team has managed to score away to Empoli, AC Milan host Udinese at the Meazza, with the bianconeri two points ahead of the rossoneri in the league. The two opening matches of Matchday Eight, Como vs. Parma and Genoa vs. Bologna, scheduled for Saturday at 15:00 CEST, concerns the bottom half of the table, just like the last game of the Matchday, between Hellas Verona and Monza.Como and Parma kick off Matchday eight with a clash between two newly promoted sides, the first of the season. The biancoblu, still unbeaten at the Sinigaglia, look to gain their second consecutive win in the league. To do so, they will need to improve in defence, having conceded at least two goals in their last four matches. In particular, only Real Valladolid and Le Havre have conceded more goals from players who have been subbed on in the Top-5 European league (six compared to Como’s five). Parma, however, are on the hunt for their first away win and haven’t won in five games. The gialloblù have had problems in the final phase of matches they have played, with eight goals conceded in the last half hour of play, more than any other side in Serie A.<figure data-asset-id="81aece01-0211-484c-9ee6-9dcc896d23bc" data-image-id="81aece01-0211-484c-9ee6-9dcc896d23bc"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/304f1ab3-0435-4bb8-86a4-20ceb1704109/Sito_HERO_como.png" data-asset-id="81aece01-0211-484c-9ee6-9dcc896d23bc" data-image-id="81aece01-0211-484c-9ee6-9dcc896d23bc" alt=""></figure>At the same time, Genoa host Bologna, with both sides looking for their second win of the season.

However, Thiago Motta’s men have managed to concede ten less than Barone’s: the biancocelesti have conceded most of their goals in the first 15 minutes of play, but have also gained seven points from losing positions, more than any other side this season.<figure data-asset-id="d061f8d6-429b-4e6e-9d7d-4e4ea46bdeb6" data-image-id="d061f8d6-429b-4e6e-9d7d-4e4ea46bdeb6"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/73e55687-7c13-4e4e-b0e7-c074ec5c3c09/Sito_HERO_juv.png" data-asset-id="d061f8d6-429b-4e6e-9d7d-4e4ea46bdeb6" data-image-id="d061f8d6-429b-4e6e-9d7d-4e4ea46bdeb6" alt=""></figure>The lunchtime match on Sunday, sees Napoli visit Empoli, a side that have been a bogey side for their opponents from Campania. The Tuscan side have won five of the last seven against the partenopei, including the two 1-0 wins from last season. This year, however, Empoli have not conceded a goal at home at D’Aversa, with three consecutive 0-0 draws, and could become the first side in the history of Serie A to draw their first four home games without conceding. Napoli’s defence are playing very well too, given that they have not conceded in their last two away games. Empoli and Napoli are two of the best defensive sides in the league, with four and five goals conceded respectively. One factor that could stop this match from being a draw is management of the final stages of the match: Empoli is one of the sides, alongside Lecce, that have not scored in the last 15 minutes of play this season, a period of time in which Napoli have scored five goals, more than anyone in Serie A.<figure data-asset-id="9f738adf-9990-4d2f-ab84-34be309c39fc" data-image-id="9f738adf-9990-4d2f-ab84-34be309c39fc"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/d66581ae-1ceb-43fb-8520-b9acc733267d/Sito_HERO_emp.png" data-asset-id="9f738adf-9990-4d2f-ab84-34be309c39fc" data-image-id="9f738adf-9990-4d2f-ab84-34be309c39fc" alt=""></figure>Two matches are scheduled for 15:00 on Sunday: Venezia vs. Atalanta and Lecce vs. FiorentinaAt the Penzo, Atalanta look to continue their positive run against the Lagunari, against whom they have won the last five matches in Serie A. On the other hand, the Dea have struggled recently against newly promoted sides, losing their last two against such teams (Como and Cagliari). Venezia, after a difficult start, won their last home match and are aiming to gain two consecutive home wins, something they have not done in the top flight for twenty years, from a time when Luciano Spalletti was in charge of the arancioneroverdi. Di Francesco’s side set themselves apart for the amount of dribbles completed, the highest number in the league, while Atalanta will aim to make the most of dead ball situations, having scored seven from such occasions, while Venezia have conceded just as many from these situations, more than any other team.<figure data-asset-id="3b12ca44-c33d-4c1f-960c-241b3bc48a61" data-image-id="3b12ca44-c33d-4c1f-960c-241b3bc48a61"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/b42fbd04-ace7-4118-8f66-f33358c332cb/Sito_HERO_ven.png" data-asset-id="3b12ca44-c33d-4c1f-960c-241b3bc48a61" data-image-id="3b12ca44-c33d-4c1f-960c-241b3bc48a61" alt=""></figure>Lecce host Fiorentina at Via del Mare, with the hope of returning to winning ways thanks to the support of their fans. The giallorossi gained four points from five in the last two home games, where they have also scored all of their goals this season: the salentini, in fact, have the worst attack in the Top-5 european leagues with only three goals so far. Fiorentina, however, have won two of the last three games in the league and look to get their first away win this season. The Viola have recovered five points from losing positions and have one of the best defences in the league in the second half of games, having only conceded one goal in seven matches.<figure data-asset-id="58ae6137-8f4b-48a5-8229-f9b79b22ed36" data-image-id="58ae6137-8f4b-48a5-8229-f9b79b22ed36"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/2dadef35-07c6-4e42-9e96-9fec4096de06/Sito_HERO_lec.png" data-asset-id="58ae6137-8f4b-48a5-8229-f9b79b22ed36" data-image-id="58ae6137-8f4b-48a5-8229-f9b79b22ed36" alt=""></figure>At 18:00 CEST Cagliari welcome Torino with the goal of winning their first home game, after losing their first two without scoring. Torino, off the back of two consecutive defeats in which they conceded three goals per game, will look to stop the rot and will rely on their ability to finish, having scored at least two goals in each of their last three matches. Cagliari, however, haven’t managed to score in the first 30 minutes of play this season, but they will face a side that tends to concede opportunities: the granata are the one side that have conceded the most shots this season.<figure data-asset-id="7ea90782-83c9-4b19-92c6-8e83116a8faa" data-image-id="7ea90782-83c9-4b19-92c6-8e83116a8faa"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/f2dd81b1-4c8e-49df-9c78-3b37893be7b9/Sito_HERO_cag_.png" data-asset-id="7ea90782-83c9-4b19-92c6-8e83116a8faa" data-image-id="7ea90782-83c9-4b19-92c6-8e83116a8faa" alt=""></figure>For Sunday’s big match, Inter will aim to get back to the top of the table while Roma will try not to lose track of the top positions. The giallorossi have lost their last three home games against the nerazzurri and Jurić’s side are determined to put an end to their negative spell. Inzaghi’s Inter have conceded nine goals so far, the same number of goals that they conceded throughout the first half of the season last year. The approach to the game could make the difference: at the Olimpico, they come up against the team that have scored the most goals in the first 15 minutes of play (four, Inter) and one of the three sides, with Parma and Juventus, that haven’t conceded a goal in the first 30 minutes of matches. A show, in any case, should be guaranteed, considering that Roma (118) and Inter (115) are respectively first and second for the number of shots attempted this season in Serie A.<figure data-asset-id="f338bac9-1487-42ea-9fd5-8f7eb506a139" data-image-id="f338bac9-1487-42ea-9fd5-8f7eb506a139"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/6e8895b1-9f22-4b5f-8d90-fea577c16ebb/Sito_HERO_rom.png" data-asset-id="f338bac9-1487-42ea-9fd5-8f7eb506a139" data-image-id="f338bac9-1487-42ea-9fd5-8f7eb506a139" alt=""></figure>The matchday finishes on Monday evening with Hellas Verona vs. Monza. The brianzoli will rely on their unbeaten streak against the scaligeri (two wins and two draws in Serie A), but they have only gained four points until this point in the league. Nesta’s side are looking for their first goal from a dead ball situation: all of the five goals for the biancorossi have come from action. Verona, on their part, already have three wins this season, two of which have come at the Bentegodi: the gialloblù, in particular, are particularly prolific in the second half of games, when they have scored nine of their 12 goals (sixth best attack in the league), directly behind Real Madrid, in terms of teams in the Top-5 european leagues, with at least ten scored so far, which has the highest number of goals after the interval.<figure data-asset-id="13c7af2e-bfd5-4711-ace9-fbbfc049d9c0" data-image-id="13c7af2e-bfd5-4711-ace9-fbbfc049d9c0"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/9bfa9813-a787-4fba-a6ae-8894da8e49d7/Sito_HERO_ver.png" data-asset-id="13c7af2e-bfd5-4711-ace9-fbbfc049d9c0" data-image-id="13c7af2e-bfd5-4711-ace9-fbbfc049d9c0" alt=""></figure>(Photo Getty Images)
