Serie A’s sixth round of 2026-27 will begin in Genoa on Saturday 10 October, with Fiorentina visiting the Rossoblu at 15:00, and it will close on Monday with Atalanta-Venezia and Torino-Udinese. Across a weekend that could further define early attacking hierarchies, Marcus Thuram, Tijjani Noslin and Torino’s Kulenovic arrive with different reasons to expect greater influence.
Key takeaways
- Genoa-Fiorentina opens the sixth matchday on Saturday 10 October at 15:00.
- Monday’s closing fixtures are Atalanta-Venezia at 18:30 and Torino-Udinese at 20:45.
- Marcus Thuram has produced two goals and two assists in four rated league appearances for Inter.
- Tijjani Noslin has scored in each of his last two Serie A appearances and is competing with Andrea Pinamonti for Lazio’s central-forward role.
- Kulenovic scored his first league goal for Torino against Bologna and could earn more minutes against Udinese.
Inter and Lazio look to their forwards
Thuram has begun to reassert himself in Inter’s forward line despite Pio Esposito’s encouraging opening to the season. The Frenchman has accumulated a fantasy average of 8.75, with two goals and two assists from his first four matches in which he received a rating, and is expected to start alongside Inter’s other striker against Parma.
The fixture also comes after Thuram was left out of Zinedine Zidane’s squad for the Nations League matches. He will have the chance in Serie A to reinforce his claim that he remains a leading option for France as well as for Cristian Chivu’s Inter.
At Lazio, Noslin has become one of the early positive stories of the campaign. The Dutch forward is currently ahead of Pinamonti in Gennaro Gattuso’s pecking order at centre-forward, having responded with goals in his last two rated appearances. His fantasy average stands at 7.90.
Lazio host Monza in the sixth round, with the visitors having conceded 12 goals across their opening five league games. Noslin is still contesting a starting place with the former Sassuolo striker Pinamonti, but is expected to have an opportunity during the match as he pursues a third successive league goal.
Kulenovic offers Torino another option
Torino’s home meeting with Udinese carries particular relevance for Kulenovic, who opened his Serie A account in the previous round against Bologna. The Croatian drove through the middle before hitting a right-footed effort that Bologna goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski failed to handle cleanly.
It was a significant first contribution in granata colours and may help Kulenovic increase his role over the coming weeks. For coach Abate, the forward’s breakthrough supplies an additional attacking solution ahead of a Monday evening in Turin that completes the sixth round.
