Serie A 2025/26: Napoli and Roma Keep Winning, Inter Aim to Extend Momentum

The 2025/26 Serie A season is off to an exciting start with intense fixtures captivating fans across Italy. Napoli and Roma have emerged as early front-runners, both maintaining perfect winning records after the first two matchdays. As the league pauses for the international break, Sunday’s fixtures offer more key clashes, with Inter Milan hosting Udinese at San Siro.

Napoli and Roma Keep the Pressure

Napoli secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Cagliari in their second match at the Maradona stadium, maintaining a 100% win record. The Neapolitans continue their strong start following a 2-0 away win against Sassuolo on the opening day. Meanwhile, Roma claimed a vital 1-0 win on the road against Pisa, marking a romantic return to the Arena Garibaldi for the Tuscan club. The Giallorossi now also boast full points after dispatching Bologna 1-0 in the first round.

Inter Milan’s Assertive Start

Inter Milan kicked off the season with an emphatic 5-0 dismantling of Torino, demonstrating the attacking firepower available under Cristian Chivu's management. Lautaro Martínez, Alessandro Bastoni, Marcus Thuram (with a brace), and debutant Ange-Yoan Bonny were all on the scoresheet in the resounding victory. The Nerazzurri now aim to continue this momentum as they face Udinese at home on Sunday evening. Udinese, struggling recently with only one win in their last 12 Serie A games, are underdogs but present a threat, particularly from set pieces.

Sunday’s Key Matchups

Sunday's Serie A schedule starts at 18:30 CEST with two intriguing fixtures: Torino vs. Fiorentina and Genoa vs. Juventus. Torino look to rebound after a heavy defeat, while Fiorentina comes into the game following an encouraging qualification for the Conference League phase. Genoa welcome Juventus at the iconic Marassi stadium; the Bianconeri have started the season quietly but feature high-quality players capable of making a difference.

Later, at 20:45 CEST, the round concludes with Inter hosting Udinese at San Siro and Lazio facing Hellas Verona at the Stadio Olimpico. Lazio, seeking a reaction after a surprising loss to Como, will have to handle a Verona side featuring numerous new signings eager to make an impact but still needing time to find their rhythm.
