Atalanta vs Juventus 0:0
The Bianconeri continue to be a point ahead of the Bergamo Blue-Blacks even after splitting the points between them, which is very disappointing for the visitors, who arrived without their two leading strikers, rarely risked a goal and finished 0-0. Last weekend, Juventus suffered their first defeat of the season with a 4-2 defeat at Sassuolo, and although in midweek they managed to recover with a 0-1 win over surprising Lecce, they bounced back.
Massimiliano Allegri revealed that Juventus were suffering from an attacking predicament ahead of the game, as striker duo Dušan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik were out of the squad and thus moved up 11 Moises Kane alongside Federico Chiesa. The pair struggled mightily up front, but at least they didn't concede against Atalanta who were on a three-game winning streak and will settle for a fourth consecutive game in which they did not concede. Incidentally, Atalanta are also missing their forwards, Gianluca Scamacca and Bilal Toure, who arrived this summer.

AS Roma - Frosinone 0:2
At the age of 60, Jose Mourinho experienced the worst start to the season of his career and knew that an easy game awaited him against the surprising Frosinone, who since the 3-1 defeat to Napoli in the opening round has accumulated nine points in five games without defeat. The pressure on Roma increased following the 4-1 defeat in Genoa, but at Olimpico they usually get by with newcomers (22 wins and two draws in the previous 24 matches) and so it was for the 25th time.
Eusebio Di Francesco, who starred for Roma as a player and also coached it, was hoping for a surprise, but had to make an early substitution following an injury to Simona Romanioli (18) and after three minutes Paulo Dybala found Romelu Lukaku with a smart pass, who misled two players and kicked the left in. The Belgian's third goal, with only Gabriel Batistuta (6) and Stefan El Shaarawy (4) scoring more than him in the Giallorossi's first five league appearances in the three-point era. Frosinone did not threaten the frame despite dominating the field and in the 83rd minute conceded a goal from captain Lorenzo Pellegrini (another Dybala assist) and recorded a fifth defeat in five matches against Roma in Serie A.
