(Football news) After a two week long break with International football, club football is finally back with some mouth watering fixtures. Italian football has some enticing clashes in store for the fans as matchweek 3 games can help let the fans figure out where their teams stand in the season.
The match of the week is surely between Napoli vs Juventus, Massimiliano Allegri’s side will be under a lot of pressure to get a victory as they were left disappointed after getting only one point from the two matches.
