Serie A returns with Parma hosting Torino

Serie A gets going again on Monday 19 October, and the fixture that opens the round is Parma against Torino at 2026-10-19T18:45:00Z. It is matchday 7, and the table has already been shaped by six rounds of results.

The last league game before the break went badly for one side. Juventus lost 0-3 to Lazio on Sunday 18 October, a three-goal margin that left little room for argument. That result is the most recent thing the division has to go on.

At the top, the gap is nothing. Inter lead on 19 points with a goal difference of +12, and Lazio have exactly the same points, 19, with +10. Position 1 and position 2 separated by a single figure. Behind them, Roma are on 17 with the best goal difference in the top three at +13, which says something about how they have won their games.

Then it thins out. Milan have 15, Como 1907 14, Frosinone 13. Six points between third and sixth.

The scoring chart is worth a look too. Antonio Raimondo has 7 for Frosinone, clear at the front. Donyell Malen sits on 6 for Roma. After that it is crowded: Gustavo Varela of Monza, Nikola Krstović of Atalanta and Adrien Rabiot of Milan all have 4.

So what should we expect from Parma and Torino? Both are outside the top six, and neither appears among the leading scorers. The match will not decide anything. It will simply tell us whether the break changed anything at all.
