The Italian Serie A continues in full swing and, this week begins the double matchdays, where games will be played both on weekends and weekdays, something that certainly for us soccer lovers is a pleasure, since we will have matches almost every day, but for the teams, it is an additional burden on the physical issue of their players.
This new round faces a very nice fight for the first place among several teams, with Napoli as the main reference at the beginning of the season, Inter was surprisingly crushed by Lazio in their visit to Rome. Meanwhile, Milan and Torino returned to winning ways and are now once again fighting for the top of the table.
Juventus didn’t have their dream day either, sharing 1 point with Roma in their match this weekend.
Finally, we have Monza, Cremonese, and Lecce, the teams that have shown the worst side at the beginning of the season and who have a lot of work to do if they want to get out of the bottom of the table and avoid returning to the second division of Italian soccer for next season.
Starting this Tuesday, August 30, we will have the actions of the fourth round of the Italian Serie A, with all the teams obliged to get 3 points, taking advantage of the fact that the standings are very tight and there are no teams that are escaping at the top.

We start this Serie A matchday 4 preview with the match between Juventus and Spezia, which will be played this Wednesday, August 31, 2022, at Juventus Stadium, at 02:45 pm ET.
Both teams come into this matchday 4 after getting a draw on the scoreboard last weekend, so, they should get back to winning ways if they want to fight for the important positions in the overall standings.
Juventus has not had the expected start of the season to fight again for the Scudetto. In the 3 games they have played, they have a record of 1 win and 2 draws, even though they have played against Sampdoria, who in theory, have a lower-level squad than them.
One of the points in Juventus’ favor at the beginning of the season is that they have only conceded 1 goal, demonstrating the defensive quality that has characterized them over the last decade.
In their last match against Roma, Juventus started with a truly amazing free-kick goal by Dusan Vlahovic in the second minute of the match. From there, Juventus had control of the game, but, in the 69th minute, Tammy Abraham equalized the score 1-1.

On the other hand, Spezia had a start to the season that even managed to surprise themselves by getting a very good win against Empoli, with a score of 1-0. Then, they had the bad luck to visit Inter at San Siro and, they were crushed 0-3. Finally, in their last game played, they got a 2-2 draw at home against Sassuolo.
Thanks to these results, Spezia is in 12th place in the standings with 4 points, only 3 points behind Milan who is momentarily leading the standings.

The match that will kick off this midweek matchday of the Italian Serie A will be between the current champions, AC Milan visiting Sassuolo at the MAPEI Stadium – Città del Tricolore, next Tuesday, August 30, 2022.
All the teams know that it is very important to get victories at this beginning of the season and, Milan being the current Calcio champions, knows it better than anyone. That is why they have been able to get off to a flying start this season and, for now, they are the leaders of the standings.
Milan has only lost 2 points in a very difficult away match against Atalanta, another of the teams that are called to fight for the Scudetto. In the other two matches they have played, Milan has shown a lot of authority and a very high level of play.
Sassuolo is another team that has known every possible result at the start of the season. Although it is not something they would have dreamed of, they have taken 4 points out of 9 played and are only 3 points away from first place, which is positive for them.
Sassuolo started their season by being crushed against Juventus with a score of 0-3. Then they were able to beat Lecce 0-1 and finally, they drew a very difficult match against Spezia with a score of 2-2. Now they will have to play a very good game in front of their fans to get at least 1 point in this match.

An interesting match we will have this Tuesday when Inter will receive the visit of Cremonese this Tuesday, August 30, 2022, at the San Siro Stadium. This match is the prelude to the derby that will be played next matchday between Inter and Milan.
Both Inter and Cremonese are coming from losing their last regular season match last weekend, so this match is of utmost importance for both in their quest to get on the road to victory.
Inter is the main candidate to win the Scudetto this season. They have put together a very compact team, and they must work day after day to score as many points as possible to be at the top of the standings.
After a start with two devastating victories, Inter was surprised in its visit to Rome by Lazio, with a terrible defeat with a score of 1-3. In this match, Inter’s defense was well below its usual level and, this took its toll on them.
–
On the other hand, we have Cremonese one of the worst teams in Calcio at the beginning of the season. they are one of the two teams that have lost all 3 games they have played, so it is not the debut they would have dreamed of in this first time in the first division of Italian soccer.
Although Cremonese’s 3 opponents at the beginning of the season have been important teams in Italy, they have managed to put up a fight and complicate each of the matches, ending with negative results, but with very close scores.
Although there have been 3 defeats, Cremonese can be confident that they will be able to win matches this season.
Inter vs. Cremonese Betting Pick: Inter
Serie A Matchday 4: Napoli vs. Lecce

Finally, the match that closes this matchday 4 of the Italian Serie A and, which also closes our preview will be the one between Napoli and Lecce next Wednesday, August 31, 2022, at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, home of Napoli.
In this match we will have two teams that are in opposite situations, Napoli has started as the most powerful team in the league, while Lecce needs to win games to avoid going back to Serie B.
Napoli has displayed a spectacular offense at this start of the season and, they can boast about it in every game they play, as, the level of play is a step above many of the Serie A teams. Napoli is not thinking about anything else but lifting the Scudetto this season and this good start confirms it.
On the other hand, we have Lecce, one of the teams recently promoted to Serie A that has not had the dream start to the season either. They have lost all the matches played so far and, the most worrying thing has been the lack of goals in these games.
Lecce, in their eagerness to get into a better level of play, has made official the incorporation on a loan of Samuel Umtiti, FC Barcelona’s French defender, to reinforce the defensive block for this new season.
It should be noted that at the time of writing this article, both teams have not yet played their match corresponding to matchday 3 of Serie A.
