The Serie A season for 2025-26 is underway in Italy. Napoli, the defending champions, kicked off the season after securing their fourth Scudetto last year on the final day. This season, Inter, Juventus, and AC Milan are aiming to take the title from Napoli, while teams like AS Roma, Atalanta, Lazio, Fiorentina, Bologna, and Como are all in the race for European tournament spots.

This weekend features several significant matches, especially with Inter traveling to face Napoli on Saturday.

Are AS Roma true title contenders?

Under the leadership of Gian Piero Gasperini, AS Roma has had an impressive start to their campaign. Gasperini, previously at Atalanta for nearly a decade, has transformed Roma into contenders with seven wins from their first nine matches, their only losses to Torino and Inter. Currently, they sit atop the Serie A table alongside the reigning champions, Napoli.

Their Sunday match against AC Milan at San Siro is vital, as Milan is just three points behind Roma and Napoli. This game could significantly alter the momentum in the Serie A title race.

Gasperini is managing injuries to key players like Evan Ferguson and Angelino, yet has maximized the talents of players like Paulo Dybala and Matias Soule. Remarkably, Roma’s defense is leading the league with only four goals conceded, a surprising feat given Gasperini’s history of emphasizing attack over defense.
