Inter Milan and Lazio share the Serie A lead on 16 points after six matches, both unbeaten with strong attacking outputs and defensive records that position them as frontrunners for Champions League qualification spots. Roma sits third on 14 points, maintaining an unbeaten run through disciplined defending despite a recent goalless draw. AC Milan remains unbeaten but has drawn three of its last four, sitting on 12 points, while Juventus and Como hover around 11 points amid mixed results. Early surprises from Frosinone and Cagliari add pressure on the traditional top sides, with the race for the top four or five places—standard for direct UCL entry—still fluid after just seven rounds and subject to form shifts, injuries, and fixture congestion.
