On Saturday, the table runner-up AC Milan will be guests, five days later it will go to leader Napoli. Milan veteran Zlatan Ibrahimovic could play from the start for the first time this season. At the end of the 9th round of Serie A on Sunday (8.45 p.m.) Juventus Turin wants to continue the winning streak in the Derby d'Italia against Inter Milan.
After the catastrophic start with two points from the first four games, Juve recently won four times in a row and could even draw level with the third-placed Milanese with another “three” against Inter. “We have proven that we have the right attitude. If the whole team approaches the matter with humility and willingness to make sacrifices, then the results will come,” said Juve captain Leonardo Bonucci.
For Bologna and Arnautovic it is important against Milan, among other things, to capitalize on the situation of the opponent, who lost 1-0 to Porto on Tuesday and suffered the third defeat in the third game in the Champions League. Bologna is aiming for the fourth win of the season, with which the currently eighth-placed team of coach Sinisa Mihajlovic would at least stick to the international starting positions. The eyes are on the possible starting comeback of Ibrahimovic, who only has 75 minutes in three competitive games after various injuries.
The still absolutely flawless leader Napoli will visit AS Roma on Saturday. For the Romans it is the first appearance after the embarrassing 1: 6 at the Norwegian representative Bodö / Glimt in the Conference League.
