Serie A resumes after the international break with Genoa hosting Fiorentina in the opening fixture of the sixth round, scheduled for Saturday 10 October at 15:00.
The return of the championship brings clubs back into the rhythm of the domestic season after a lengthy pause, with coaches assessing their squads following international duty and preparing for a round that begins in Genoa.
A weekend shaped by squad decisions
The sixth matchday will place renewed attention on player availability, as injuries and suspensions could influence selections across the division. Coaches will make their final calls in the days leading up to the weekend, with probable line-ups expected to reflect both fitness concerns and the demands of the next stage of the campaign.
For fantasy managers, the round also marks the return of team-selection deadlines, with one day available to finalise line-ups before Genoa and Fiorentina begin the programme.
Goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards will all come under consideration as the league restarts, while lower-cost options may become particularly relevant where absences alter a side’s usual plans.
The first whistle in Genoa will therefore do more than reopen the fixture list: it will begin a new chapter in the early Serie A season, with clubs seeking momentum after the break and Fiorentina facing a demanding away afternoon against Genoa.
