Welcome to the Football Italia Liveblog for coverage of Monday’s Serie A matches: Bologna vs. Lazio and Roma vs. Fiorentina!

These are the final two matches of the 2026-27 opening weekend.

A three-goal victory is required to join Inter at the top of the Serie A standings at the end of the first week, a four-goal victory is required to stand alone in first place. Only one of the eight Serie A matches that have been played so far this weekend have ended level (Udinese 1-1 Como).

Dia and El Azzouzi go into the book after some handbags in the centre-circle.
