We’re all waiting for a board. A real board. Did we order wooden items from a hardware store? No! Did we buy a used skateboard online? No! Do we have the next Serie A matchday to offer you? Damn, it’s true! The upcoming fifth matchday of the Italian championship will probably be one of the highlights of this year.
Would you like proof? The matches between the league leaders, Udinese and Roma, and those between Florence and Lazio are by no means the hottest matches scheduled for the weekend. Already on Saturday there will be two successes of the day that will be absolutely decisive for the entire season of top-level Italian sport: the Old Lady of Turin will host the champions of the 2022/23 season, SSC Napoli.

Juve and Napoli have had a good start to the season. SSC are in second place in the standings with nine points, Juve are in fourth place with just one point less. What is particularly explosive for the Italian record champions is the fact that they have won only one of their last six games against Napoli.
Of course, the new coach hopeful Thiago Motta and the fans of the Old Lady cannot afford to sit back and do nothing. Both in the stadium and possibly away, it can be assumed that both camps of supporters will clash loudly to encourage their team to win in this extremely important match. It also gives hope that the Bianconeri have not conceded a single goal in Serie A.
The focus on the pitch is of course on Kenan Yıldız. After the Turkish super talent already scored the dream goal of the match in the opening game of the CL against Eindhoven, the hopes that he will also give the Neapolitans one are enormous.
Keyword: immense hope: AC Milan should have it for the city derby, the number two of the day. The Rossoneri currently occupy tenth place in Serie A with five points, a result that will probably not satisfy those who love this club. The record against its rival, Inter, is also bottomless in the last six games, all lost. From the point of view of AC fans, one thing is clear: it is time for something to change.
They definitely have the players they need. With Álvaro Morata, Christian Pulisic and superstar Rafael Leão, the Milanese storm is feared throughout Italy. AC coach Paul Fonseca is expected to warm up his attacking stars before the match. The coach has been criticized after a poor start to the season and could possibly be sent off in the event of a debacle in the derby. It is noticeable: emotions, rivalries and even entire careers depend on this Derby della Madonnina.
What is new is that in Switzerland, in addition to other major sports, all Serie A matches are now broadcast on DAZN. You can choose between the German commentary and the original commentary.
