12 rounds into the 2016/2017 Serie A season, the table appears to be finally taking shape. Juventus presently enjoy a four point lead over the chasing pack, and can increase that to seven when they take on Pescara. Regardless of whatever happens, the Bianconeri will still head into the next round on top of the table - although, of course, they will prefer to at least maintain their four point gap. This weekend will also see yet another edition of the Derby della Madonnina featuring two Milan sides who have experienced different results so far this term.

Serie A - Matchday 13 overview
12 rounds into the current season, one Milan side is flying high whilst the other continues to flounder. For fans on the red-and-black side of Italy's fashion capital, this has been a great campaign. Rossoneri supporters surely will be pleased to see the team's progress under new coach Vincenzo Montella, and will be relishing the first Derby della Madonnina of the current term. By contrast, Nerazzurri fans will hope that the international hiatus - and a new coach - will breathe new life into a struggling Inter side who have yet to get up and running both domestically and on the continent this term.
Meanwhile, reigning champs Juventus continue to lead the way and head into this round four points ahead of the chasing pack. The Bianconeri will have an easy opportunity to increase this to seven points as they take on struggling Pescara, who are on a four match losing streak. Other title contenders Roma and Napoli will also look to resume action with wins against Atalanta and Udinese, whilst Lazio look to continue their good start to the season under former striker Simone Inzaghi.
