Matchday 2 | Monza Udinese Five-Goal Thriller

About this episode

Matchday 2 of the 2026-27 season is here, and Bottom Half Calcio has a special guest to help break it down. Match of the week honors go to Monza and Udinese, who play out a five-goal thriller in Monza that finishes 3-2 to the visitors. Elsewhere in the bottom half, Frosinone crash Fiorentina's 100th anniversary celebrations with a stunning 3-0 win in Florence, and Venezia continue to search for their first points of the season despite outplaying Milan for long stretches at the San Siro. This week's Roma section comes with a special guest: longtime Roma supporter Ricky Juarez joins Nick and Derek to break down Roma's 4-0 demolition of Lecce, a Daniel Malen and Paulo Dybala masterclass that keeps Gasperini's side perfect through two matches. Elsewhere in Serie A, Lazio keep rolling with a 1-0 win over Genoa behind former Inter man Davide Frattesi, Como claim a first-ever win at Napoli, Juventus cruise past Parma, and Atalanta snatch a stoppage-time winner at Bologna. Serie B delivers its usual chaos: Modena thrash Cremonese 3-0, a result so bad it gets manager Marco Giampolo fired within hours, while Palermo, Mantova and Modena all sit unbeaten at the top after two rounds. Palermo need a 90th-minute wonder-strike just to see off Arezzo 3-2. Two matchdays in, and the table is already scrambled — this episode breaks down every twist from the top of Serie A to the bottom of Serie B.
