After the appetizer of the 12:30 match between Torino and Genoa, Sunday of the eighth matchday starts to heat up with the double clash between Sassuolo and Roma and between Verona and Cagliari.
For Roma, the match against Sassuolo means a chance to bounce back after defeats to Inter and Viktoria Plzen, as well as an opportunity to catch up with Napoli at the top. But watch out for the Neroverdi, who have collected 10 points in their last 5 matches.
It’s a relegation battle between Verona and Cagliari, with the Scaligeri searching for their first league win and the Sardinians, after a good start, winless in their last three games.
