Roma and Inter lead Serie A while Juventus and Milan trail

According to the Italian sports press (Corriere dello Sport, Calcio Napoli 1926 and other local sources), as of 6 September Roma and Inter have both won their opening three Serie A matches to share top spot on nine points. Roma hold the goal-difference edge (10-1); Inter arrive on 8-3, having beaten Napoli 3-2 last week. This information has not been separately confirmed by the major international agencies and rests on Italian sources.

Como sit third on seven points, with Milan, Juventus, Lazio and Atalanta following on six apiece. Traditional powers such as Juventus and Milan sitting further back stands out as an early surprise of the season.

Inter's form is read as a positive signal before their Champions League trip to Real Madrid on 8 September.
