Serie A 2025/26: Roma and Napoli Joint Top, the Race for Top Scorer, and Fixtures Until January

The Serie A 2025/26 season continues to prove highly balanced and competitive, with Roma and Napoli currently joint top of the table on 15 points. Both teams have dominated the early stages: Roma secured key wins, including an away victory over Fiorentina, while Napoli responded decisively by defeating Genoa, as per the latest standings. Genoa and Pisa occupy the bottom spots with just 2 points each.

The Race for Roma’s Top Scorer

One of the most intriguing individual stories this season is Matias Soulé, whose 3 goals have been pivotal in Roma’s strong start. Bookmakers now favor him to become Roma’s top scorer in Serie A 2025/26, with odds ranging from 2.25 to 2.50, ahead of heavyweight strikers like Dovbyk and Ferguson (both around 4.00) and even Paulo Dybala (5.00). Juventus’ situation is less clear, with Dusan Vlahovic the most likely top scorer at 2.25, followed by Jonathan David at 2.50, while youngster Kenan Yildiz could be a surprise at 5.00.
