Serie A matchday November 7, 2026, Digi Mart USA News: Four Serie A matches are scheduled for Saturday, November 7. Roma look to climb the table against Sassuolo, Parma and Bologna meet in a regional derby, and surprise side Frosinone face Cagliari.

The first matches kick off at 15.00 local time, with Cagliari against Torino and Frosinone against Cagliari beginning the afternoon program. Parma against Bologna follows at 18.00, and Roma against Sassuolo closes the day at 20.45 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

All four matches can also be streamed on TV4 Play with a sports subscription that includes Serie A. TV4 holds the Swedish broadcast rights to Serie A for the 2026/27 season.

Roma have made a strong start, winning seven of their first ten matches, drawing three and remaining unbeaten in the league. Their 24 points place them third, behind Lazio on 28 and Inter on 25.

A home win over Sassuolo would lift Roma to 27 points, although the club must first recover from a 2–3 Champions League defeat to Manchester United despite holding a two-goal lead.

Donyell Malen has been one of Roma’s most important players this autumn, scoring eight goals in ten league matches and sitting near the top of the scoring charts. Goalkeeper Mile Svilar, Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini are unavailable through injury, while Matías Soulé and Rodrigo Mora are among the offensive options behind Malen.

Sassuolo have lost four consecutive league matches and sit 17th with eight points, close to the relegation zone. Kristian Thorstvedt returns from suspension, but the availability of Domenico Berardi is uncertain, with early reports suggesting he will miss the match.

Parma and Bologna meet in the Derby dell’Emilia. Parma are 15th with eight points, while Bologna are ninth with 14 points.

Parma beat Atalanta 3–0 away in their latest league match, and Simone Lontani has scored three league goals. Parma are without midfielder Adrián Bernabé through injury.

Bologna have three consecutive league wins under Raffaele Palladino, and Federico Bernardeschi, Jens Odgaard and Nicolò Cambiaghi are among their attacking options. Swedish international defender Emil Holm is injured and not expected to play.

The previous league meeting between the sides ended 1–0 to Parma in February 2026.

Cagliari and Frosinone enter their match with contrasting seasons. Cagliari have lost four consecutive league matches and sit 12th with 13 points.

Frosinone, newly promoted, are sixth with 20 points after ten matches, having won six times. Antonio Raimondo, who has scored eight of Frosinone’s 24 league goals, is injured and expected to miss the match, with Daniel Bîrligea a possible replacement.

Cagliari are without Adam Obert through suspension and M’Bala Nzola through absence, while Daniel Maldini, with five league goals, is a key figure for the home side.

Torino and Lecce play the second afternoon match. Torino are 10th with 13 points and Lecce are 14th with nine points.

Che Adams has four league goals and is expected to partner Giovanni Simeone. Lecce regain defender Kialonda Gaspar from suspension.

Swedish winger Amar Fatah is among the possible starters for Lecce.

Sunday’s fixtures also carry significance. Lazio, who lead Serie A on 28 points, face Napoli, while Inter host fourth-placed Como.

The round began on Friday, November 6, when Venezia defeated Udinese 2–1. Serie A resumes with matchweek 12 on November 21, following the November international break.
