After three matchdays in the 2026-27 Serie A season, which began August 22, Venezia, Genoa, and Fiorentina sit bottom with zero points and heavy defeats, while promoted sides Venezia and Monza show early adaptation struggles typical for newly returned clubs. Inter, Roma, and Lazio lead with perfect records, and defending champions Inter remain favorites for stability. The 38-game campaign leaves ample time for recovery, but poor starts by promoted teams and sides like Fiorentina often signal sustained relegation pressure, with three clubs ultimately dropping to Serie B based on final standings. Recent form, home/away splits, and squad depth will shape the battle as the schedule intensifies.
