The 2024-25 season of Serie A, Italy's premier football league, began on Saturday, August 17. Inter Milan, the reigning champions, started off their title defense with a match against Genoa. Last season, Inter Milan clinched the Scudetto with a commanding 19-point lead, and they will be aiming to maintain their dominance in the new season.
However, the road to retaining the title is expected to be challenging with AC Milan, Juventus and Napoli all gunning for glory.
Moreover, Bologna's unexpected fifth-place finish last season, which earned them a Champions League berth, adds another layer of unpredictability to the upcoming campaign.
The Sporting News looks at the key fixture details this week and how to follow the matches.
