Rome, Oct 13: Roma faces Lazio in the always heated Rome derby this weekend, while the two struggling Milan squads take on Sicilian opponents.
With only one win in its opening five matches, defending champion AC Milan hosts Palermo at the San Siro, while Inter Milan—which has also won just once—travels to Catania.
Serie A leader Juventus will be favored to maintain its advantage at Chievo Verona, while Udinese—which trails Juve only on goals scored—visits suprise package Atalanta, which would be one point behind the leaders if not for a six-point penalty from a match-fixing and betting scandal.
Roma and Lazio, meanwhile, each trail the leaders by three points, as they start to gel squads featuring several new players—and in Roma's case, a new coach.
