This round of fixtures is no outlier though, with attendances up across the league for this season.

The average attendance for the first five rounds is 23,814, and that’s without including the postponed match between Sampdoria and Roma.

In the same period of 2016-17, the average attendance was 20,775.

The most attended much so far this season was Inter’s home tie with Spal, which attracted 57,235 fans to San Siro.
