Italian Serie A week 9: Who wins Derby de Sole?
The 9th week of the 2020/2021 Italian Serie A season will be spiced up by one of the renowned derbies in the history of Italian football when Napoli plays host to AS Roma this weekend.
The derby has seen the likes of Diego Maradona, who passed away this week featuring for Napoli, and could provide some good football over the weekend.
Both teams, however, are not well placed on the table after eight games, with AS Roma lying in third and Napoli lying in 6th position. But gaining a good result in the derby could serve as a catalyst for success in the rest of the fixtures ahead.
AC Milan will also be looking forward to continuing their charge this season when they come up against Fiorentina. Stefano Pioli’s men have been boosted by Zlatan Ibrahimovich who has scored 10 times in his last 6 outings for the Milan club.
Juventus will lock horns with Benevento on Saturday hoping to pile up the pressure on AC Milan for the League title.
Below are the fixtures for the 9th week of the 2020/2021 Italian Serie A season.
