Round seven preview: Season resumes.

Round six brought some showpiece clashes with Juventus heading to Milan to take on Inter and Napoli defeating Roma in the Derby Del Sud. This time however the clashes are maybe not so grand but they are equally important. Juventus entertain Lecce on Sunday afternoon, and after taking a point from the San Siro last time round they will look to take three here. However, if this season is anything to go by then Lecce will be confident of at least hitting the back of the net in Turin. Sampdoria did it three times, Cagliari twice and Lech Poznan thrice as well. Juventus need to sent a message here, it's time to score but learn to defend as well. It'll be a game I will be watching on Sunday and I think it will be a lot of fun. 

The Milan club's have tricky games to contend with. AC take on Chievo at home in the early kick of on Saturday. It's never been an easy game for them over the years, and the flying Donkeys have started well this season and sit just a point behind Milan as we stand. Still, Milan will be confident of a win I feel. Alex Pato is set to play after scoring for Brazil midweek while Zlatan Ibrahimovic will look to continue his fine form in front of goal by adding to his total this season. For Inter a trip to Sardinia awaits them. Rafa Benitez likes to go there on Holiday, but will he like it so much after 90 minutes here? Roma lost 5-1 here, but Inter have had success on this ground witha 2-0 win last year evidence of that. There's no Diego Milito or Estaban Cambiasso but Thiago Motta looks set to return along with Javier Zanetti.

Elsewhere league leaders Lazio head to Bari, a very difficult place to play. Few teams came away from there with anything last season but confidence is high in the blue half of Rome with numerous players in their camp recently receiving international call ups. For Roma they host Genoa and their battered confidence will need to be swept aside in order for them to get a win here and get their season up and running. City rivals Sampdoria take on Fiorentina, both having underwhelmed so far this season. However, defeat for the Viola could be the final straw and see Mihajlovic removed from his post. This is not the case for Walter Mazzari of Napoli who leads Napoli into Catania with the possibility of them being top come the end of this round in some shape or form. Edison Cavani is in red hot form while Marek Hamsik is as well. Catania are strong at home but that may not be enough here. Delio Rossi additionally seems to have saved himself from the axe of Palermo president Zamperini, for the time being. Wins in Florence and Turin put paid to that, but unless they start winning home games they can forget about Europe this year. Bologna await Palermo and it won't be easy by any stretch with the visitors defeated just once this season so far by Lazio. Finally, Brescia entertain Udinese.
