A new matchday is coming up in the Italian Serie A and, thanks to many very even and interesting matches, we are enjoying a spectacular start of the season, where we have up to 7 teams fighting for the first place in the standings, without taking into account teams like Juventus and Fiorentina that we have not yet seen playing at their highest competitive level.
One of the best news in Calcio at the beginning of the season is the very good soccer being shown by the team coached by the Portuguese José Mourinho, Roma, who are at the top of the standings.
We also have a very good surprise to have Torino fighting to be at the top of the standings, after having extremely complicated seasons where they were closer to the relegation places than to the top.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the standings, we have two teams recently promoted to the first division of Italian soccer, Cremonese and Monza, which have not adapted to the highest category of Calcio and have lost all 4 matches they have played so far.
Next, we will have a preview of the best matches that we will be able to enjoy in this matchday 5 of the Italian Serie A.

A very good match is in store for us this Saturday, September 03, 2022, when Fiorentina welcomes one of the historic teams in Italian soccer, Juventus, to the Artemio Franchi Stadium at 09:00 am ET.
This match will be one of the best of the day, not only because of the historical rivalry between these two teams but also because neither team has started the season as they would have dreamed, and they need to get a win no matter what.
Juventus has suffered a lot from the absence of the Argentinean Angel Di María in attack, which is why they have not been able to win games that, in theory, could have been victories for them, such as against Sampdoria and Roma, which ended in a 0-0 draw and a 1-1 draw, respectively.
According to reports in the last few hours, the Argentine is already recovered and has returned to Juventus training and will be part of the team for the match against Spezia on matchday 4.
There has also been a lot of interest in Leandro Paredes, who currently plays for PSG, which would be a luxury addition for a team that needs players who can generate scoring chances.

On the other hand, Fiorentina is showing that this season they want to fight for everything and their main objective is to stay at the top of the table. Fiorentina’s main argument has been their defense, in the matches they have played we have been able to observe how their defense has managed to keep all their rivals at bay.
This was confirmed in the match they played against Napoli, the team that had scored the most goals so far in Serie A, managing to keep a clean sheet.
Now then, for this match, we are going for a 1-1 draw on the scoreboard.
Juventus vs. Fiorentina Betting Pick: Draw

It seems that the Serie A directors decided to have a matchday 5 of this season full of spectacular and high voltage matches, since, next Saturday, September 03, 2022, we will also enjoy the match between Lazio and Napoli, which will be at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, at 02:45 pm ET.
Both Lazio and Napoli have been referenced teams in Italian soccer in recent seasons, fighting for places in important European competitions, Champions League or Europa League and, at this start of the season, we will have this great clash.
In the last 20 matches played between these two teams, there is almost absolute supremacy on the part of Napoli, which has managed to win 14 times, Lazio has achieved only 4 victories, while 2 matches have ended with a draw on the scoreboard.
Napoli has started this season with a spectacular pace of play, especially offensively speaking. They have managed to put together a very good team and, if last season they worried Milan and Inter in the fight for the Scudetto, this season this concern will be much greater.

On the other hand, Lazio has managed to stay among the top 6 teams in the overall standings of the Italian Serie A in recent years, proving that they have a very good squad of players and that their level of play is one of the most consistent in Calcio.
Like Napoli, Lazio has had a very good start to the season, but they must improve their offense somewhat if they want to fight directly with the big teams at the top of the table.
That said, our pick for this match is a close win for Napoli, with a score of 1-0.

Finally, we close this preview of the best matches of Matchday 5 of the Italian Serie A with one of the best games for all Italian soccer lovers, the Milan Derby. Also popularly known as Derby Della Madonnina, between Inter and Milan. This is one of the most rivalry classics in all of Calcio.
Both teams are the most successful in Italy and are among the most recognized worldwide. We can point out that the city of Milan is the only one in Europe that has two teams that have been champions of the UEFA Champions League.
Historically, in official and unofficial matches, Inter and Milan have faced each other 303 times, with 114 victories for AC Milan, and 109 for Internazionale, while 80 of these matches have ended in a draw.
After an excellent last season, where both fought for the Scudetto until the last day of the championship, they have started this 2022-23 with an excellent competitive level with the same desire to lift that trophy.
Milan missed the opportunity to climb to the top of the standings in the last matchday when they failed to beat Sassuolo and ended up drawing 0-0. Similarly, with 8 points accumulated, Milan is only 2 points off the top spot.
–
Inter have also had a spectacular start to the season, with 3 wins and 1 loss in the 4 matches they have played. They have only been surprised by Lazio in their visit to Rome when they were crushed with a score of 1-3. After this result, Inter got revenge on Cremonese and took a very good victory by the same score.
That said, for this match, our selection is a draw on the scoreboard and, we predict a final score of 2-2.
