Juventus-Atalanta Headlines Serie A Sunday as Milan Host Lecce
By Hugo Brennan
Sunday’s programme offers Serie A a full arc, from Fiorentina and Napoli at lunchtime to Milan’s evening meeting with Lecce. Between them, Juventus and Atalanta take centre stage in Turin, a contest with the weight of a major championship afternoon.
The coach and the club
Milan, led by Amorim, close the Serie A schedule against Lecce at 20:45 as they look for a response. Earlier, Napoli travel to Fiorentina, while Frosinone face Como and Parma host Genoa in the 15:00 slot.
The day’s principal Italian fixture arrives at 18:00, when Juventus welcome Atalanta. It is the kind of meeting that can give a round its shape: two established sides, a demanding opponent for each, and no room for an ordinary performance.
