As the Serie A season heats up, matchday two promises a host of intriguing encounters from 19 to 26 August 2025.
On Saturday, Genoa will host Lecce at 16:30, looking to build on their promising start. Genoa, traditionally a mid-table side, will be keen to secure points against Lecce, who are aiming to avoid the relegation battle after returning to the top flight. At the same time, Sassuolo welcomes Napoli, with the visitors desperate to maintain their title challenge after a strong showing in the previous season.
The later kick-offs see AC Milan face off against Cremonese. Milan, fresh off their impressive Champions League run last season, will be keen to assert their dominance at home. Meanwhile, Roma will take on Bologna in a crucial match for both sides, with the Giallorossi looking to bounce back from a disappointing opening week and Bologna aiming to establish themselves as a mid-table contender.
Sunday’s fixtures feature Cagliari versus Fiorentina and Como against Lazio, both at 16:30. Cagliari will look to capitalize on home advantage against a Fiorentina side that has struggled for consistency. Como, newly promoted, will be eager to prove their worth against a Lazio team expected to challenge for European spots.
At 18:45, Atalanta will host Pisa, while Juventus takes on Parma. Juventus, under new management, will aim to reclaim their status as title challengers, while Parma seeks to distance themselves from relegation worries.
Finally, Monday’s fixtures conclude with Udinese facing Hellas Verona and Inter taking on Torino. Inter, aiming for a strong title push, will be favourites against Torino, while Udinese looks to establish form early in the season.
With various sides keen to solidify their positions, this weekend’s fixtures are pivotal for both title aspirations and relegation battles.
