&lt;p&gt;Matchday five of the Serie A Enilive 2024/25 season is set to be one of the most exciting of the season, with two fascinating headline matches. Antonio Conte revisits Juventus as an opponent, this time in charge of Napoli, while the derby awaits Fonseca’s AC Milan. Juric’s Roma take on Udinese, while Fiorentina face Lazio at the Franchi, two fixtures which promise to redefine the standings. Verona and Torino are vying for the role of dark horse in the table, while Parma and Lecce, who are both on four points, are aiming to reignite their season with a win.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The weekend will open with &lt;strong&gt;Cagliari vs. Empoli&lt;/strong&gt; at 18:30 CEST. The Sardinians, coached by the former Empoli coach Nicola, have scored just one goal this season and are still looking for their first win of the season (two losses, two draws). On the other hand, the Tuscans are unbeaten, as they look to continue their positive run to keep climbing up the table. D’Aversa’s side have only conceded two goals in four matches, a record which the club has only achieved twice before in Serie A. At the Unipol Domus, the Rossoblù will look to overcome their difficulties up top and the lack of fortune they’ve had at the start of the season, for example hitting the woodwork five times, more than any other team at this point.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;6784db08-abb5-4dc1-8af4-60d13c3c0641&#34; data-image-id=&#34;6784db08-abb5-4dc1-8af4-60d13c3c0641&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/e05ddecd-d590-4bc4-8f52-e24ac24c7cef/Sito_HERO_cag.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;6784db08-abb5-4dc1-8af4-60d13c3c0641&#34; data-image-id=&#34;6784db08-abb5-4dc1-8af4-60d13c3c0641&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;At 20:45 CEST Verona welcome &lt;strong&gt;Torino&lt;/strong&gt; to the Bentegodi. The Granata are still unbeaten, and Paolo Vanoli could become the fourth-ever coach in the history of the club to avoid defeat in his first five games in the three-points-per-win era. Despite the fact that they are the team that have faced the most shots in the league (84), Torino have only conceded three &lt;strong&gt;goals&lt;/strong&gt;, with the league’s &lt;strong&gt;biggest difference in Expected Goals and goals conceded&lt;/strong&gt;. While Torino are defensively solid, &lt;strong&gt;Hellas Verona&lt;/strong&gt;, with two defeats in their last three matches, have the &lt;strong&gt;best conversion rate&lt;/strong&gt; in the league (18%). Despite only having had 33 shots, the Scaligeri have six goals to their name.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;59c950b0-66f9-4f25-9de1-b4fd301605d9&#34; data-image-id=&#34;59c950b0-66f9-4f25-9de1-b4fd301605d9&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/57dadac0-217d-4dd2-990b-d1b69e09222c/Sito_HERO_ver.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;59c950b0-66f9-4f25-9de1-b4fd301605d9&#34; data-image-id=&#34;59c950b0-66f9-4f25-9de1-b4fd301605d9&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Games resume on Saturday at 15:00 CEST at the Penzo, where &lt;strong&gt;Venezia&lt;/strong&gt; welcome Genoa as they aim to get their season up and running after a difficult start. &lt;strong&gt;Di Francesco&lt;/strong&gt;’s side, who have not scored apart from at the Olimpico on the opening day, have conceded the most goals from penalties (three) and from dead ball situations (five) in the league. &lt;strong&gt;Genoa&lt;/strong&gt;, on the other hand, have kicked off the season with five points in four matches, getting off to a better start than they have in the last four Serie A seasons, something which is down to the ability of &lt;strong&gt;Gilardino’s&lt;/strong&gt; side to be able to stay in games right until the end. In fact, only Napoli (four) have scored more goals than Genoa (two) in second-half stoppage time. The Grifone are one victory away from 600 wins in Serie A.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;f095ebf1-8024-4797-869b-c190e211c84c&#34; data-image-id=&#34;f095ebf1-8024-4797-869b-c190e211c84c&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/774942c5-a3d3-4d1c-93b3-c8a9960ae184/Sito_HERO_ven.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;f095ebf1-8024-4797-869b-c190e211c84c&#34; data-image-id=&#34;f095ebf1-8024-4797-869b-c190e211c84c&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first big match of the day comes on Saturday at 18:00 at the Allianz Stadium, where &lt;strong&gt;Conte&lt;/strong&gt;’s Napoli face &lt;strong&gt;Thiago Motta’s Juventus&lt;/strong&gt;, in a fascinating clash between two coaches in their first seasons managing their respective clubs. The Bianconeri are the only team in the top five European leagues to have not conceded a goal, and they have only faced five shots on goal. They come up against a Napoli side that have had the most shots in the league (72). Whether Juventus can rely on their &lt;strong&gt;defensive solidity&lt;/strong&gt;, time will tell, as &lt;strong&gt;Napoli&lt;/strong&gt; have scored seven of their nine goals in the second half, a stat which confirms the ability of Conte’s side to&lt;strong&gt; go the distance&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;406c5bbf-dbdc-41cb-b150-9e7441424990&#34; data-image-id=&#34;406c5bbf-dbdc-41cb-b150-9e7441424990&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/597f9279-9ef9-46a5-aa13-8ed3d5f82df2/Sito_HERO_juv.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;406c5bbf-dbdc-41cb-b150-9e7441424990&#34; data-image-id=&#34;406c5bbf-dbdc-41cb-b150-9e7441424990&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;At 20:45 CEST, Parma will take to the pitch at the Via del Mare after their last visit on 2 August 2020, a match which finished 4-3 to the visitors and sealed Lecce’s relegation to Serie B. &lt;strong&gt;Lecce&lt;/strong&gt;, despite having only scored one goal this season (Kstrović against Cagliari), have not conceded in two matches and could extend that run to three, a streak they haven’t achieved for over twenty years. &lt;strong&gt;Parma&lt;/strong&gt;, on their part, have scored in the first half of every match so far and are also yet to concede in this period, making the Gialloblu the &lt;strong&gt;best team in the league when it comes to the opening 45 minutes&lt;/strong&gt;. However, Pecchia’s men have had problems with holding on to a lead. The game could be decided on&lt;strong&gt; counter attacks&lt;/strong&gt;, one of the main weapons of both sides:&amp;nbsp; Lecce and Parma have had five and seven, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;dc782216-ebda-49c9-9ed6-4ec7c2a757ee&#34; data-image-id=&#34;dc782216-ebda-49c9-9ed6-4ec7c2a757ee&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/b12fb0d5-45a9-437d-b705-49ce96d97986/Sito_HERO_lecce.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;dc782216-ebda-49c9-9ed6-4ec7c2a757ee&#34; data-image-id=&#34;dc782216-ebda-49c9-9ed6-4ec7c2a757ee&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sunday kicks off with a lunchtime match between &lt;strong&gt;Fiorentina&lt;/strong&gt; and Lazio. The Viola is looking for their first victory of the season, while &lt;strong&gt;Lazio&lt;/strong&gt; and Baroni are aiming to climb further up the table. Fiorentina and Lazio are two of the most effective teams in front of goal, with the Biancocelesti second only behind Juventus in terms of &lt;strong&gt;shots following offensive recoveries (nine)&lt;/strong&gt;. Fiorentina, on the other hand, have scored three goals from &lt;strong&gt;corners&lt;/strong&gt; and four from &lt;strong&gt;set-pieces&lt;/strong&gt;, showing themselves to be lethal from dead ball situations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;b743f46b-6a16-43c6-9de4-7fb4d958077c&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b743f46b-6a16-43c6-9de4-7fb4d958077c&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/c6d12437-8801-43fb-93ec-6247a3919ce1/Sito_HERO_fio.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;b743f46b-6a16-43c6-9de4-7fb4d958077c&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b743f46b-6a16-43c6-9de4-7fb4d958077c&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monza vs. Bologna&lt;/strong&gt;, scheduled for Sunday afternoon, is a match where both sides need a win after a slow start to the league season. &lt;strong&gt;Nesta’s&lt;/strong&gt; Monza are the team that have had the fewest shots on goal (24), but they’ve also allowed their opponents very few chances: only Juventus have been under less stress at the back (eleven shots conceded).&lt;strong&gt; Both teams have lost four points from winning positions&lt;/strong&gt;, and it will be interesting to see who will manage the game better. From a historical point of view, the next match will be the fifth meeting in the top flight between the two clubs. So far, both have won one game each, with two draws completing the picture.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;0dbf8b3d-4633-4494-84da-8afb0ec134ba&#34; data-image-id=&#34;0dbf8b3d-4633-4494-84da-8afb0ec134ba&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/26d7c864-770d-4dbd-9d9c-f71af74c20fd/Sito_HERO_mon.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;0dbf8b3d-4633-4494-84da-8afb0ec134ba&#34; data-image-id=&#34;0dbf8b3d-4633-4494-84da-8afb0ec134ba&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Roma&lt;/strong&gt;, still without a win, welcome Udinese to the Stadio Olimpico, at the end of a week where &lt;strong&gt;Ivan Juric&lt;/strong&gt; replaced De Rossi. The Giallorossi, who come off the back of a bitter draw against Genoa, have to find a way to stop the rot, while &lt;strong&gt;Udinese&lt;/strong&gt; are having a great time, with their effective and entertaining style that has seen them score 100% of their goals from inside the &lt;strong&gt;opposition box&lt;/strong&gt;. Runjaić’s side seem very difficult to beat, but this will be a decisive moment, especially considering that Roma have historically reacted well to a change of coach during the season. Six of the seven goals scored by the Friulani have come from their &lt;strong&gt;attacking players&lt;/strong&gt;, with Thauvin in great form.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;183e55be-895c-42d6-8d20-34516e3384b5&#34; data-image-id=&#34;183e55be-895c-42d6-8d20-34516e3384b5&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/7e109547-d0f4-4930-853b-1884390abd3a/Sito_HERO_rom.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;183e55be-895c-42d6-8d20-34516e3384b5&#34; data-image-id=&#34;183e55be-895c-42d6-8d20-34516e3384b5&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Sunday evening, the 181st &lt;strong&gt;Derby della Madonnina &lt;/strong&gt;will take place. &lt;strong&gt;Inter&lt;/strong&gt; have won the last &lt;strong&gt;six&lt;/strong&gt; derbies against Milan in all competitions, with a total goal tally of 14-2, a stellar record for the Nerazzurri. In general, neither Milanese side has ever won seven consecutive derbies. Both teams are among the best when it comes to &lt;strong&gt;goals scored, ball possession and passing accuracy&lt;/strong&gt;, promising a brilliant game. AC Milan, however, have shown themselves to be a bit more &lt;strong&gt;vulnerable at the back&lt;/strong&gt;, above all in the final stages of matches, having conceded four goals in the last thirty minutes of play (only Parma have done worse in this regard).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;9f4a3847-7f56-41d7-9588-9fdc7e9e8ac5&#34; data-image-id=&#34;9f4a3847-7f56-41d7-9588-9fdc7e9e8ac5&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/a9d94a28-1aff-4312-aa02-083e3ccdda68/Sito_HERO_int.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;9f4a3847-7f56-41d7-9588-9fdc7e9e8ac5&#34; data-image-id=&#34;9f4a3847-7f56-41d7-9588-9fdc7e9e8ac5&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Matchday five finishes on Monday with &lt;strong&gt;Como vs. Atalanta&lt;/strong&gt;, a Lombard clash that is back for the 19th time in the top flight: the tally of the recent games favours the Lariani, who have seven wins over La Dea’s five, with six draws completing the picture. Como have struggled early on, failing to win and conceding seven goals in four matches, although there were some positive signs in their last outing against Bologna. Atalanta, meanwhile, are looking to keep the momentum after their win against Fiorentina, hoping to secure a second consecutive win for the first time this season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;890ffcfc-a8ef-4e15-9406-5f2e657c3525&#34; data-image-id=&#34;890ffcfc-a8ef-4e15-9406-5f2e657c3525&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/43d16a93-68eb-446b-becb-f63fdcdf0f1f/Sito_HERO_ata_.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;890ffcfc-a8ef-4e15-9406-5f2e657c3525&#34; data-image-id=&#34;890ffcfc-a8ef-4e15-9406-5f2e657c3525&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;

The game could be decided on counter attacks, one of the main weapons of both sides:&nbsp; Lecce and Parma have had five and seven, respectively.<figure data-asset-id="dc782216-ebda-49c9-9ed6-4ec7c2a757ee" data-image-id="dc782216-ebda-49c9-9ed6-4ec7c2a757ee"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/b12fb0d5-45a9-437d-b705-49ce96d97986/Sito_HERO_lecce.png" data-asset-id="dc782216-ebda-49c9-9ed6-4ec7c2a757ee" data-image-id="dc782216-ebda-49c9-9ed6-4ec7c2a757ee" alt=""></figure>Sunday kicks off with a lunchtime match between Fiorentina and Lazio. The Viola is looking for their first victory of the season, while Lazio and Baroni are aiming to climb further up the table. Fiorentina and Lazio are two of the most effective teams in front of goal, with the Biancocelesti second only behind Juventus in terms of shots following offensive recoveries (nine). Fiorentina, on the other hand, have scored three goals from corners and four from set-pieces, showing themselves to be lethal from dead ball situations.<figure data-asset-id="b743f46b-6a16-43c6-9de4-7fb4d958077c" data-image-id="b743f46b-6a16-43c6-9de4-7fb4d958077c"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/c6d12437-8801-43fb-93ec-6247a3919ce1/Sito_HERO_fio.png" data-asset-id="b743f46b-6a16-43c6-9de4-7fb4d958077c" data-image-id="b743f46b-6a16-43c6-9de4-7fb4d958077c" alt=""></figure>Monza vs. Bologna, scheduled for Sunday afternoon, is a match where both sides need a win after a slow start to the league season. Nesta’s Monza are the team that have had the fewest shots on goal (24), but they’ve also allowed their opponents very few chances: only Juventus have been under less stress at the back (eleven shots conceded). Both teams have lost four points from winning positions, and it will be interesting to see who will manage the game better. From a historical point of view, the next match will be the fifth meeting in the top flight between the two clubs. So far, both have won one game each, with two draws completing the picture.<figure data-asset-id="0dbf8b3d-4633-4494-84da-8afb0ec134ba" data-image-id="0dbf8b3d-4633-4494-84da-8afb0ec134ba"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/26d7c864-770d-4dbd-9d9c-f71af74c20fd/Sito_HERO_mon.png" data-asset-id="0dbf8b3d-4633-4494-84da-8afb0ec134ba" data-image-id="0dbf8b3d-4633-4494-84da-8afb0ec134ba" alt=""></figure>Roma, still without a win, welcome Udinese to the Stadio Olimpico, at the end of a week where Ivan Juric replaced De Rossi. The Giallorossi, who come off the back of a bitter draw against Genoa, have to find a way to stop the rot, while Udinese are having a great time, with their effective and entertaining style that has seen them score 100% of their goals from inside the opposition box. Runjaić’s side seem very difficult to beat, but this will be a decisive moment, especially considering that Roma have historically reacted well to a change of coach during the season. Six of the seven goals scored by the Friulani have come from their attacking players, with Thauvin in great form.<figure data-asset-id="183e55be-895c-42d6-8d20-34516e3384b5" data-image-id="183e55be-895c-42d6-8d20-34516e3384b5"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/7e109547-d0f4-4930-853b-1884390abd3a/Sito_HERO_rom.png" data-asset-id="183e55be-895c-42d6-8d20-34516e3384b5" data-image-id="183e55be-895c-42d6-8d20-34516e3384b5" alt=""></figure>On Sunday evening, the 181st Derby della Madonnina will take place. Inter have won the last six derbies against Milan in all competitions, with a total goal tally of 14-2, a stellar record for the Nerazzurri. In general, neither Milanese side has ever won seven consecutive derbies. Both teams are among the best when it comes to goals scored, ball possession and passing accuracy, promising a brilliant game. AC Milan, however, have shown themselves to be a bit more vulnerable at the back, above all in the final stages of matches, having conceded four goals in the last thirty minutes of play (only Parma have done worse in this regard).<figure data-asset-id="9f4a3847-7f56-41d7-9588-9fdc7e9e8ac5" data-image-id="9f4a3847-7f56-41d7-9588-9fdc7e9e8ac5"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/a9d94a28-1aff-4312-aa02-083e3ccdda68/Sito_HERO_int.png" data-asset-id="9f4a3847-7f56-41d7-9588-9fdc7e9e8ac5" data-image-id="9f4a3847-7f56-41d7-9588-9fdc7e9e8ac5" alt=""></figure>Matchday five finishes on Monday with Como vs. Atalanta, a Lombard clash that is back for the 19th time in the top flight: the tally of the recent games favours the Lariani, who have seven wins over La Dea’s five, with six draws completing the picture. Como have struggled early on, failing to win and conceding seven goals in four matches, although there were some positive signs in their last outing against Bologna. Atalanta, meanwhile, are looking to keep the momentum after their win against Fiorentina, hoping to secure a second consecutive win for the first time this season.<figure data-asset-id="890ffcfc-a8ef-4e15-9406-5f2e657c3525" data-image-id="890ffcfc-a8ef-4e15-9406-5f2e657c3525"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/43d16a93-68eb-446b-becb-f63fdcdf0f1f/Sito_HERO_ata_.png" data-asset-id="890ffcfc-a8ef-4e15-9406-5f2e657c3525" data-image-id="890ffcfc-a8ef-4e15-9406-5f2e657c3525" alt=""></figure>(Photo Getty Images)
