Serie A Matchday 1 \u2013 Preview and Free Picks<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Il Calcio<\/em>\u00a0returns and we are sure it will be a great tournament.\u00a0The Serie\u00a0A <\/a><\/strong>has been giving us very good championships, with different protagonists, and this will be no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The champion, Milan<\/strong>, who raised this title again after 11 years, does not want to let it go and will start their defense at home against Udinese<\/strong>, in the first match of the championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their backyard rival, Inter<\/strong>, wants to regain the throne and has Romelu Lukaku and Andr\u00e9 Onana as great reinforcements to achieve that. Lecce<\/strong>, recently promoted, will be their first rival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Napoli <\/strong>has several tournaments cheering but in the final stretch, it always collapses. Without major additions this season, for now, their first game will be away against Hellas Verona<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juventus <\/strong>did not have a good season, with a bad start, which denied them of fighting until the end, so they hope this time to start on the right foot when they receive Sassuolo <\/strong>at the end of the Matchday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milan <\/strong>is back. The historic team, which had been suffering from bad seasons for many years, was champion last season and celebrated in style. But it is already in the past, and now they want to show that they did come back and it was not just a stroke of luck. Among the great reinforcements for this season are Divock Origi (Liverpool<\/strong>) and Charles De Ketelaere (Brugges<\/strong>), who will undoubtedly raise the level of the team, making up for the loss of Franck Kessi\u00e9 (Barcelona<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Udinese <\/strong>once again has fulfilled its goal, being in the Serie A<\/strong> again as an established midtable club without major aspirations. Their season already started a few days ago, for the Coppa Italia<\/strong>, and they beat Feralpisalo <\/strong>2-1. They had the big loss of Nahuel Molina, who went to Atl\u00e9tico Madrid<\/strong>, and they didn’t have big additions, but they still have important players like Roberto Pereyra and Gerard Deulofeu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a great tournament for Inter<\/strong> and an excellent fight with Milan<\/strong>, but in the end, they narrowly lost to their neighbors, and they want to regain the Italian throne. They suffered very important losses from last season such as Perisic (Tottenham<\/strong>), Alexis S\u00e1nchez (Marseille<\/strong>), and Vidal (Flamengo<\/strong>), among others, and the reinforcements have not attracted much attention. Of course, Romelu Lukaku returned after his time at Chelsea<\/strong>, and he will surely bring many goals to a team who scored the most last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For its part, Lecce<\/strong> returns to the top league after a couple of years and has been champions of Serie B<\/strong>. Its main mission will be to maintain the category, however, it suffered losses from its main players, such as its goalkeeper Gabriel, its midfielder Mario Gargiulo and the striker Massimo Coda, who last year scored 20 goals and was the tournament’s top scorer. They managed to keep Gabriel Strefezza, who scored 14 goals and came second in the table and was reinforced by several young players. In its first game of the season, they lost to Cittadella <\/strong>3-2 in the Coppa Italia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serie A Matchday 1: Hellas Verona vs. Napoli<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Napoli <\/strong>has been fighting for the Serie A for several years, has even won the Coppa Italia and the Super Cup<\/strong>, but has not been able to win the league since 1990 with Diego Maradona. And this season, things are not looking good for the team from the south of the country. Important and historical players left, such as Koulibaly (Chelsea<\/strong>), Milik (Marseille<\/strong>), Mertens (Galatasaray<\/strong>), Insigne (Toronto<\/strong>), and Ospina (Al-Nassr<\/strong>), among others, and the most important reinforcements they brought in were the Korean defender Kim Min-Jae and the young Georgian Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Undoubtedly an important bet that coach Luciano Spalletti hopes will turn out well, although they are still looking for players, and among them is Argentine striker Giovanni Simeone, a star last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hellas Verona<\/strong> was one of the surprises of last year, always fighting for European positions, although it was finally left out so in this tournament they will try again. The continuity of Simeone, who would already have agreed on a loan with Napoli<\/strong>, is still uncertain. Without a doubt, it would be a very important loss for the team since he scored 17 goals and made 5 assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juventus\u00a0<\/strong>will close the first Matchday of\u00a0Serie A<\/strong>\u00a0and will do it at home. They know that they did not leave a good image last season and in this one, they will try to change it from the beginning. The Vecchia Signora achieved the return of Paul Pogba (injured) and incorporated \u00c1ngel Di Mar\u00eda. Another of the new ones is the Brazilian central defender Bremer, who arrives from\u00a0Torino\u00a0<\/strong>to cover the loss of Chiellini, who went to\u00a0Los Angeles FC,\u00a0<\/strong>and De Light, who moved to\u00a0Bayern M\u00fcnchen<\/strong>. Dybala also left (Roma<\/strong>) as he did not have much space with Chiesa and Vlahovic in the team. Morata, for his part, returned to\u00a0Atl\u00e9tico Madrid<\/strong>\u00a0and Bernardeschi and Douglas Costa emigrated to the\u00a0MLS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Sassuolo sides, they remain a mid-table team since they ascended (except in their first year) and dream of playing international competition again since their historic and only Europa League participation in 2016\/17. They suffered the loss of their striker Gianluca Scamacca (West Ham<\/strong>) and brought in the Uruguayan Agust\u00edn \u00c1lvarez. The Norwegian Kristian Thorstvedt is another of the players who arrived this season and from whom a lot is expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
