Former Barcelona and Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal has identified Antonio Conte as the manager who can bring trophies back to the Turin club.

Conte is currently without a team after leaving Napoli, his most recent managerial appointment.

Vidal, who played for Juventus, has spoken publicly about the Italian coach’s ability to lead the club back to success.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been named in Inter’s starting line-up for Sunday’s Serie A home match against Fiorentina.

Inter head coach Cristian Chivu has selected the following XI:

Provedel, Augusto, Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni, Diouf, Calhanoglu, Barella, Mkhitaryan, Thuram and Esposito.

The match in Milan is scheduled to kick off at 14:30 Moscow time. LiveResult will provide detailed text coverage of the game.

Inter begin the fixture second in the Serie A table. The Nerazzurri are three points behind leaders Lazio, although they have played one match fewer.

Udinese face Milan on Sunday looking to halt a poor start to their Serie A campaign, with the home side having collected only four points from their opening seven matches.

That tally leaves Udinese 16th in the table, while their goal difference stands at -7. The club go into the match amid a prolonged run of poor form.

Milan are in a considerably stronger position. They have taken 15 points from seven games and sit fourth in the Serie A standings, well above their next opponents.

The match begins at 22:45 Moscow time on Sunday. Live coverage will be available on Match! Football 1.

Juventus will aim to recover from a heavy home loss to Lazio when they visit Lecce in Serie A on 25 October.

Lecce have started to recover after a difficult opening to the season. Eusebio Di Francesco’s side have taken nine points from their first seven matches and sit 12th in the Serie A table, with a goal difference of -3.

The club finished 17th last season and only narrowly avoided relegation. Their performances this campaign, however, have suggested a more confident team is beginning to emerge.

Juventus have also made a disappointing start by their usual standards. They have collected 11 points from seven games and now need to respond quickly after a damaging result in their most recent fixture.

In the fifth round, the Turin side recorded a 2-0 victory over Atalanta, scoring in the 28th and 77th minutes. They then drew 1-1 with Cagliari before suffering a 3-0 home defeat by Lazio in the seventh round.

Juventus struggled to make an impression against Lazio and were fortunate not to concede even more than three goals. The result leaves them under pressure to improve immediately as they travel to Lecce.

Barcelona are monitoring Juventus defender Andrea Cambiaso as they assess their options ahead of the winter transfer window, with Alejandro Balde potentially set to leave the club in search of regular first-team football.

According to Calcio Mercato, Barcelona have renewed their interest in the Italy international and could step up negotiations for the 26-year-old. Cambiaso can operate on either flank, making him a possible replacement option should Balde depart.

Juventus value Cambiaso at approximately 30 million euros. The defender’s contract with the club runs until the middle of 2029.

Cambiaso has made six appearances for Juventus in the 2026/2027 season, without registering a goal or assist.

Inter will look to strengthen their position at the top of Serie A when they face a Fiorentina side battling to escape the relegation zone.

Cristian Chivu’s team have made a strong start to the Italian championship and sit first in the table after collecting 19 points from their opening seven matches.

Fiorentina, by contrast, have struggled to find consistency. They finished 15th last season and have made an even poorer start to the current campaign, taking only four points from seven games.

Paolo Vanoli’s side are 18th and currently occupy a relegation place.

The Serie A fixture will begin on 25 October at 14:30 Moscow time. Live coverage will be shown on the Match! Football 1 television channel.

Milan are tipped to beat Udinese when the sides meet in the eighth round of the Italian championship on 25 October 2026.

Udinese go into the fixture 16th in the Serie A table with four points. Their advantage over the relegation zone comes only through additional tiebreaking criteria, underlining the pressure on the Friulian side.

The Zebras have now gone six matches without a win. Following a 1-2 setback in the match against Udinese cited in the preview, the team suffered another defeat against Lecce, losing 0-3. That sequence leaves Udinese facing a difficult task as they attempt to halt their poor run.

Milan arrive in considerably stronger league form. The Rossoneri are fifth with 15 points, seven behind Serie A leaders Lazio.

They secured a 3-2 victory over Atalanta in their most recent league match, but their latest European outing ended in disappointment. Milan were beaten 3-0 away by Bournemouth in their most recent Europa League fixture.

The form guide makes Milan the clear favourite for this meeting. The Rossoneri have won four of their past five matches, while Udinese have failed to win in six consecutive games.

The most recent head-to-head meeting, however, went Udinese’s way, with the Zebras winning 3-0. Milan’s recent results and league position nevertheless form the basis for the prediction that the visitors will take all three points.

The recommendation for the match is a Milan victory.

Match information

The preview lists Milan as the favourite, despite Udinese having won the last meeting between the clubs 3-0. Milan’s four wins in five matches and Udinese’s six-game winless run are the other key statistics highlighted ahead of the game.

Information supplied with the preview says the match can be watched free through bookmakers after quick registration. The listed platforms are Winline and Fon.bet.

Lecce host Juventus in the eighth round of Serie A on 25 October 2026, with the visitors favoured to leave with all three points.

Lecce are 12th in the table with nine points from three wins and four defeats. They ended a run of two consecutive losses by beating Udinese 3-0 in their most recent league match.

Before that victory, Lecce had been beaten 3-0 by Milan and 2-1 by Bologna. The win over Udinese was their first success after those setbacks and gives the home side an opportunity to build momentum against Juventus.

Juventus arrive in ninth place with 11 points. Their form in the Italian top flight has been inconsistent, although they are only two points behind the European qualification places.

Their latest Serie A outing ended in a heavy home defeat, with Lazio winning 3-0. Juventus then drew 2-2 with Rennes in the Europa League.

The Turin club are considered the favourites for the meeting despite their recent league loss. Juventus also won the most recent head-to-head encounter, prevailing 1-0.

Across the past five matches between the sides, Juventus have recorded three victories. Lecce, meanwhile, have suffered three defeats in their last five games.

The prediction for the match is a Juventus victory, with the visitors backed to overcome Lecce and claim three points away from home.

Genoa host Venezia in the eighth round of the Serie A season on 25 October 2026, with both sides looking for points at the wrong end of the table. Genoa are regarded as favourites, while Venezia arrive in last place after winning only once this campaign.

Genoa currently sit 17th with four points. Their advantage over the relegation places is based only on additional statistical criteria, underlining the pressure on the home side.

The Griffins began this run with a 2-1 victory over Fiorentina but were beaten 2-0 by Roma in their most recent match. That defeat also highlighted Genoa’s inconsistency in attack, despite their success in the previous fixture.

Venezia’s main objective this season is survival in Serie A. The visitors have collected three points and are 20th in the Italian championship, with one win and six defeats from their opening matches.

After losing to Lazio 2-0 and Atalanta 3-1, Venezia responded by producing one of the campaign’s more notable results. They defeated Napoli 1-0, securing the victory by the narrowest possible margin.

Head-to-head record and statistics

Genoa are considered the stronger side ahead of this meeting. They won the most recent fixture between the clubs 2-0 and have beaten Venezia three times in their past five meetings.

Venezia, meanwhile, have recorded just one victory this season.

Match prediction

Genoa are expected to take all three points. The Griffins have generally looked capable at home and are backed to use that advantage to defeat Venezia.

Atalanta will host Frosinone in Serie A on 25 October 2026, with both sides arriving after contrasting results in their previous league matches. Atalanta are considered the favourites, but Frosinone’s position in the table gives them reason to believe they can challenge for another positive result.

Atalanta currently sit 11th in Serie A with nine points from seven matches. Their total has come from three victories and four defeats, including a 3-2 loss to Milan in their most recent league fixture.

The Bergamaschi have also suffered a setback in Europe. In their latest Champions League match, Atalanta were beaten 2-0 by Ajax.

Frosinone, meanwhile, occupy sixth place in the Serie A standings. They have collected 13 points and are eight points behind leaders Lazio.

Their latest league outing ended in a convincing victory. Following a 3-0 defeat by Napoli, Frosinone responded by beating Sassuolo 4-2.

The result against Sassuolo has strengthened the impression that Frosinone are performing at a solid level this season. They now travel to face an Atalanta side looking to recover from consecutive defeats against Milan and Ajax.

Head-to-head record

Atalanta won the most recent meeting between the teams, claiming a 5-0 victory. The statistical summary also records three Atalanta wins in the past five matches against Frosinone.

The same five-match comparison lists Frosinone as having won three times in their past five games. Atalanta are nevertheless identified as the favourites ahead of the latest meeting.

Prediction

Atalanta are tipped to take all three points at home. The forecast backs a victory for the “Goddess”, Atalanta’s nickname, against Frosinone.

The match is scheduled for 25 October 2026. The source information does not provide specific betting odds for the game.

Inter Milan will look to maintain pressure at the top of Serie A when they host Fiorentina in the eighth round of the Italian championship on 25 October 2026.

The Nerazzurri are second in the table with 19 points, three behind leaders Lazio. They go into the match after a 3-1 victory over Bologna in their most recent Serie A fixture.

Inter Milan also recorded a significant result in the Champions League, beating Shakhtar 1-0. The decisive goal came while the Milan side were playing with 10 men.

Fiorentina, meanwhile, arrive in 18th place with four points. They are level with the team occupying the 17th position in terms of points, but sit below them on additional criteria.

The Viola have lost their past two league matches. Their poor run continued with a 2-1 defeat by Genoa before they were beaten 3-1 by Como.

Despite Fiorentina's difficult start, they will travel to Milan hoping to produce an upset and claim points in their fight to move away from the relegation places.

Head-to-head and prediction

Inter Milan are regarded as the favourites for the fixture. They have won three of the teams' past five meetings, while their most recent encounter ended in a 1-1 draw.

The Milan club have also won four of their past five matches, underlining the contrast in form between the two sides before this meeting.

The prediction is for an Inter Milan victory, with the home side expected to take all three points.

Mike Maignan has become the first player in AC Milan’s history to be sent off during a match in a European tournament.

The France goalkeeper received a red card in a European fixture, creating a unique moment in the Rossoneri’s record. Although dismissals involving Milan players in continental competition are rare, the incident prompted statisticians and supporters to search the club’s archives for a similar case.

Their review found none: Maignan is the first Milan player to be shown a red card in a European tournament match.

Maignan has played for Milan since 2021.

Cagliari goalkeeper Elia Caprile has obtained an Albanian passport and could now be considered for the national team.

The 23-year-old’s application was made possible by his long-term relationship with Emily Toshkollari, who is of Albanian origin. The couple are not officially married, but have been together for many years and welcomed their first child, Edoardo, in November 2025.

According to derbyderbyderby.it, it was Toshkollari who suggested that Caprile apply for Albanian citizenship. The move received the full backing of the Football Federation of Albania.

Rolando Maran, the Italian coach who took charge of Albania on 19 May, may consider selecting Caprile for the national side in the near future.

Lazio midfielder Kenneth Taylor said the team secured a valuable result despite admitting their match against Parma was not their best performance.

“Maybe it was not the best match, but we won,” Taylor said after the game.

The victory moved Lazio to the top of Serie A, although they will remain there only until Inter play their next match.

Parma manager Alberto Gilardino has discussed his side’s 2-1 defeat by Lazio.

Parma will look to respond in their next match against Udinese.

Lazio secured another victory in the eighth round of the Italian championship, beating Parma 2-1 at home. Defender Romano Floriani Mussolini said he was “very pleased” with the result.

The Rome club will face Sassuolo in the next round.

Lazio have made their strongest start to a Serie A season in the 21st century after extending their unbeaten opening run with a 2-1 win over Parma on Saturday.

The Rome club have won seven of their eight league matches so far, maintaining their challenge near the top of the table. They are currently second in Serie A.

Lazio’s record means they have avoided defeat in each of their first eight matches for only the sixth time in the club’s history. It is the first occasion they have achieved that feat in the 21st century.

The previous example came in the 1999/2000 campaign, when Lazio went on to win the Italian championship for the second and, so far, final time in their history.

Their latest victory over Parma keeps them on course for another notable season, with Lazio having lost none of their opening eight Serie A fixtures.
