The 2026-27 Serie A campaign opened on 22 August with Venezia, Frosinone, and Monza returning from Serie B after one-, two-, and one-year absences, respectively. After three matchdays, Venezia, Genoa, and Fiorentina sit winless at the bottom with heavy goal differences, prompting Fiorentina’s early dismissal of Fabio Grosso following a 2-1 loss to Torino. Monza and Frosinone also remain among the lowest scorers and points earners, consistent with the pattern that at least one promoted side has dropped straight back down in each of the past ten seasons. Lecce and Genoa face additional pressure after narrow escapes last term, while upcoming fixtures and managerial stability at the promoted clubs will shape early relegation market movement.
