Football. ua represents the announcement of the matches of the fifth round of the championship of Italy, scheduled for Wednesday, September 20.
Unlike the previous round, in which recognized favorites with varying degrees of ease dealt with less powerful rivals, this time some of them will have to withstand a serious test of strength. And the fights of Lazio - Napoli and Juventus - Fiorentina should become a real decoration of the game day, and there is a chance that the "parthenopes" and "old lady" will repeat the fate of Inter and interrupt their victorious series.
The played match of the tour The remaining matches of the tour Benevento - Roma Wednesday, September 20, 19:00. Benevento, Stadio Ciro Vigorito. Referee - Mikael Fabbri.
Despite the fact that the Roma fans expected from the team a more confident start in the championship, at least in the fifth round they obviously do not have to worry about the result. Debutante Serie A Benevento, besides losing because of injuries a number of leading players, is unlikely to be able to compete with "wolves".

- Benevento lost all four games in Serie A.
- In the last three games of Serie A, "witches" can not hit the opponent's gate.
The indicative compositions of Benevento: Belets - Venuti, Lucioni, Jimsiti, Letizia - Lombardi, Cataldi, Memushai, Lazaar - Armenteros, Coda.

forecast 1: 1 Lazio - Napoli Wednesday, September 20, 21:45. Rome, Stadio Olimpico. Arbitrator - Antonio Damato.
No doubt, the central duel of the fifth round promises a bright spectacle. Lazio, after an unexpected draw in the starting round against Spal, scored an impressive move and won all the other matches. That's just worth noting that, having a powerful attack, the "eagles" suffer from not too reliable defense. Only Milan was beaten with a huge margin - 4: 1, yet the remaining victories were minimal, although none of them doubts in the course of matches did not arise.
But nerves to his fans in the last two matches against Vitesse in the European League and Genoa in Serie A, ended with a score of 3-2 in favor of the Romans, Lazio patted pretty. And the duel for the Super Bowl against Juventus, which ended with the same result, also required a lot of valerian.
The victory of Napoli in the domestic arena is much more solid (a slap from Shakhtar in the Champions League here can be ignored, because Kharkov - it's not some kind of Italy!). Suffice it to say that the "parthenopes" scored one and a half times more than their closest rival, and missed - half as much. True, it should be noted that the rivals of the "donkeys" in the current championship were not the most difficult, and even Atalanta, which was the opening of last season, is still far from its best condition.
Interesting facts - Napoli scores at least three goals in the last eight Serie A fights.
- The winning series of Neapolitans in the championship is nine games.
- Napoli's unbeaten retreat in fights against Lazio is six fights in all tournaments.
- "Eagles" won the last three games in Serie A, scoring at least two goals.
Approximate compositions of Lazio: Strakosha - Bashtush, de Vray, Radu - Basta, Lukas Leyva, Parolo, Lulich - Luis Alberto, Milinkovich-Savic - Immobile.
Napoli: Reina - Hisai, Albiol, Coulibaly, Ghulyam - Hamshik, Jorginho, Allan - Callejon, Mertens, Insigne.
Will not play: Anderson, Wallace - Tonelli.
In doubt: Nani (Lazio).

forecast 2: 1 Juventus - Fiorentina Wednesday, September 20, 21:45. Turin, Allianz Stadium. Arbitrator - Daniele Doveri.
Perhaps, on the tournament background, the duel between Juventus and Fiorentina is inferior to Lazio's meeting with Napoli, and even on entertainment it's clearly not going to last until the battle in the Eternal City, but in the heat of passion there is not much in Italy like duels of the "old lady" violets ".
A long series of grievances, including the enticement of leading players, the most striking of which was Roberto Baggio, and the "strange" results of bianconeri fights, the result of which was the farewell of the "squadron viola" with Serie A, so enraged Florentine typhosis against Juve that , they, as the hero of the movie "Mimino" used to say, "can not even eat," thinking of Turin and his black and white half. At least on the day of the match.

Fiorentina would have a good chance to win a major rival who has serious personnel problems, if not for two "but". The first is that the confusion in the defense and the support zone of the "zebras" is more than offset by the phenomenal form that he scored at the start of the Dibal season and the presence of two reliable guards at the disposal of Massimiliano Allegri (this time Buffon will rest, but in the "frame" "will arise Schesny). The second is that Stefano Pioli is still far from being able to dazzle a new team of newcomers from the empty spot left after the total sell-off of the leaders.

After Milan suffered a crushing defeat in the very first serious test in Serie A against Lazio, everyone is interested in how the "Rossoneri" will cope with other "heavyweights" of the championship of Italy. But the fight against SPAL - completely from another opera.
To the credit of the wards of Vincenzo Montella, they quickly moved away from the Roman shock, defeating Austria in the Europa League and taking three points from Udinese in the national championship. The same result should be expected in the fifth round.
