A thrilling Matchday 8 in Serie A is set to unfold from Saturday, October 19, to Monday, October 21, with the standout clash being Roma’s home fixture against Inter Milan at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
Roma, under new manager Ivan Juric, face a daunting task, having secured just one victory in their last 15 encounters against Inter. The ‘Nerazzurri’ have been a formidable challenge for the ‘Giallorossi’ in recent times. However, Juric remains hopeful his team can rise to the occasion, despite Inter’s dominant form this season. “They’re delivering brilliant performances and have a lot of points on the board. They’re scoring goals from everywhere, and their physicality is impressive,” Juric commented. “But I saw a very aggressive Roma in training, and we need to build on that. Positioning and understanding will be key.”
The weekend kicks off with a critical six-pointer between newly promoted sides Como and Parma at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium. Meanwhile, Serie A heavyweights AC Milan and Juventus will look to secure home victories against Udinese and Lazio, respectively.
Lazio’s head coach, Marco Baroni, acknowledges the uphill battle ahead in their visit to Turin but remains positive about his team’s progress: “We’re building our identity, and there are many positives to take away. As long as we’re improving in both attack and defense, we’re on the right path.”
In addition to the Roma v Inter showdown, Sunday’s action includes defending champions Napoli traveling to Empoli, while Atalanta visit Venezia. The matchday wraps up on Monday night with Verona hosting Monza at the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium. Monza midfielder Matteo Pessina remains optimistic despite the team’s struggles this season, saying: “We always aim to win, and by getting the fundamentals right, we can continue to improve.”
