Serie A Matchday 6 arrives with a full round of probable lineups, suspensions and absences to track. Sky Sport's latest roundup puts Genoa, Fiorentina, Inter and Napoli among the clubs with the most immediate selection questions, and the focus is on who can actually start rather than any result on the night.
Genoa and Fiorentina at the bottom end
Genoa host Fiorentina on Saturday at 15:00, and both sides arrive in awkward shape. Genoa are 19th in Serie A with 1 point from 5 matches, while Fiorentina are 17th with 4 points from 5 matches.
That makes this one of the more watchable team-news games of the round, because neither side can afford to treat the selection sheet lightly. Genoa's recent league run is LDLLL, while Fiorentina come in on DWLLL.
Napoli's reshaped XI for Frosinone
The clearest selection puzzle sits with Napoli, who face Frosinone on Saturday at 20:45 on Sky Sport. Their probable formation is listed as 3-4-2-1, with Meret; Beukema, Rrahmani, Marin; Di Lorenzo; Gilmour, Lobotka, Spinazzola; De Bruyne; Neres; Hojlund.
Napoli are missing Buongiorno, A.Santos, Anguissa, Olivera, Favasuli and Vergara, so the line is being drawn with six absentees already confirmed. They are 9th with 7 points from 5 matches, which leaves this as a chance to settle the side after the break rather than a night of comfort.
Inter are also in a shape worth noting, listed in a 3-5-2 for their Matchday 6 game against Parma, with Parma matching that 3-5-2 on the road. Inter are second in Serie A with 13 points from 5 matches and a +7 goal difference, while Parma are 15th with 4 points from 5 matches.
Sky Sport's latest team-news update is the main point here, and the value of this round lies in the gaps as much as the predicted XIs. The scheduled fixtures give the clearest markers, with Genoa-Fiorentina on Saturday at 15:00, Napoli-Frosinone on Saturday at 20:45 and Cagliari-Juventus on Sunday at 20:45.
