Inter Milan and Lazio share the early Serie A lead on 16 points after six matches, both unbeaten with strong defensive records and efficient attacks that have produced double-digit goal tallies. Inter’s high-scoring form, including a 5-3 win over Udinese and a 3-0 victory against Parma, positions the defending champions as frontrunners for maximum points accumulation. Lazio’s surge under Gennaro Gattuso continues despite fan boycotts and limited home support, highlighted by a 3-1 win over Monza. Roma sit third on 14 points with the best goal difference but were held 0-0 by Como after Donyell Malen’s red card, while surprise package Cagliari hold fourth. AC Milan and Juventus have drawn three of their last four and five games respectively, tempering expectations for a rapid points haul amid a congested schedule and early-season parity among the top sides.
