Round coverage10 of 10 matches20 of 20 clubs. The whole round is up.
None of the three leaders is safe
Série A enters the seventh round with Roma, Inter and Lazio level at the top, separated only by goal difference. This rare picture has lasted five rounds, but this week's games must change it.
Just behind them, Cagliari are a surprise in fourth, while Milan, Juventus, Frosinone and Como are all within reach of the European places. Such a tight top pack means every result reshapes it.
Standings, results and the fixtures to come are on the full Serie A table.
What the round is playing for
Three-way race for the lead
Roma, Inter and Lazio enter the seventh round level on points, separated by goal difference. All three play this weekend, on different days.
What it changes: Any slip could reorder the top before the round ends. Positions will change more than once from Saturday to Monday, with each result putting pressure on teams yet to play.
The game that settles it: Bologna vs Inter
Packed G4, with rivals facing off
Cagliari sit fourth after exceeding expectations. Juventus, Milan, Frosinone and Como enter the round just a few points back, all with important games in the coming days.
What it changes: The fight for the fourth European spot will be redrawn by Monday. Juventus host Lazio and Milan face Atalanta—two games that will decide whether Cagliari hold on or come under pressure.
The game that settles it: Juventus vs Lazio
Relegation picture taking shape
Venezia are bottom without a win in five rounds. Bologna and Genoa complete the Z3, with Bologna hosting Inter on Saturday.
What it changes: Bologna hosting one of the leaders rarely ends with three points for the home side. If it does not, the bottom begins to take the shape it may keep for the rest of the first half.

Frosinone and Sassuolo open the round
Frosinone face Sassuolo at Stadio Benito Stirpe in a game weightier than its Friday slot suggests. Here, points separate G6 hopefuls from mid-table sides, making a poor result costly.
Friday: the readings
- Frosinone must justify home favoritism Frosinone lost last time out, ending a positive run. Stadio Benito Stirpe is a genuine factor, but their inconsistency means home advantage is no guarantee—they must live up to their billing.
- Sassuolo travel with an eye on the table Sassuolo sit between mid-table and the European contenders. An away win would show they belong in the bigger conversation, while defeat would leave them in a position from which climbing is harder.

The weekend that reshapes everything
The nine games from Saturday to Monday include Juventus vs Lazio, Bologna vs Inter and Milan vs Atalanta. There is no single decider: each result pressures those still waiting to play.
Bologna host Inter Saturday: a side desperate to escape relegation against a leader seeking consistency. On Sunday, Juventus vs Lazio at Allianz could reorder the top before the day's other games end.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday: the readings
- Juventus vs Lazio: the clash that shakes up the top Lazio are level with Roma and Inter at the top and must keep pace against the next group. Juventus can close in with a home win. Allianz will decide who reaches the break up front and who must rethink.
- Milan and Atalanta: teams heading in opposite directions Milan enter the round steady after a good run. Atalanta started below expectations and lost consecutive early games, but are now on a positive run. Milan need the win to stay close; Atalanta to validate the recovery.

- Venezia 1 x 0 Napoli
- Bologna 1 x 3 Inter
- AS Roma 2 x 0 Genoa

- Parma 0 x 3 Torino
What held
- Bologna hosting one of the leaders rarely ends with three points for the home side. Inter won at Bologna, and the gap showed on the pitch, not just on paper. The result kept Bologna in the relegation fight and Inter top.
- Milan vs Atalanta, plus the other contenders' games, will decide whether Cagliari hold fourth or come under pressure from below. Cagliari lost away to Monza, a bottom-half side, and fell out of the G4. Milan beat Atalanta to take fourth. Pressure from below arrived faster than the preview expected.
- The winner between Frosinone and Sassuolo gains belief; the loser ends the round facing urgency. Frosinone won at home and ended the round in the top six as G6 contenders. Sassuolo went home beaten and stayed in the bottom half, a harder position to escape than before.
What did not
- None of the three leaders is safe: the top will shift over the round. Roma, Inter and Lazio played on different days and all won. The pressure each result was meant to put on the next team produced no slip, and they finished in front: Inter and Lazio level, Roma just behind.
- Juventus hosting Lazio is a chance to close in on the leaders. The opposite happened: Lazio won away and left Juventus further from the leading pack. Juventus ended behind Frosinone and Cagliari, far from the G4 conversation the preview expected.
- The bottom three are Venezia, Bologna and Genoa, and the round will confirm that picture. Venezia won to end their poor run but remain bottom. Fiorentina and Parma lost and entered the relegation zone; Bologna and Genoa also lost but stayed just outside the Z3.
