Roma vs. Monza (Sunday, 11.30am)

Following three wins just before the international break, Roma aim to continue their resurgence on Sunday, when they host Monza at Stadio Olimpico.
Despite improved results this month, the Giallorossi still trail their visitors by a point in the Serie A standings and are already behind in Italy's top-four race.
We say: Roma 1-0 Monza
Monza have scored only twice on the road this season - like Roma, they tend to thrive on home soil. Stadio Olimpico is never an easy place to visit, so the Biancorossi's momentum may be checked, as their hosts hand them a first defeat for over a month.

Separated by just one point in the Serie A standings, both Bologna and Frosinone aim to build on good form before the international break, as they meet at Stadio Dall'Ara on Sunday.
Despite fighting back for a point against Inter Milan last time out, the home side sit behind their promoted visitors in the table - but they last lost a game back in August.
We say: Bologna 2-1 Frosinone
As Frosinone have scored only once in their away fixtures so far, it is some fine home form that has seen them occupy a spot in Serie A's top half. On the road they have proved more vulnerable, so Bologna can pick up maximum points and leapfrog their visitors in the table.

Salernitana and Cagliari, two of this season's three winless sides in Serie A, face off in round nine's action at the Arechi Stadium.
The Granata sacked Paulo Sousa after a 3-0 loss at Monza before the international break, while Claudio Ranieri remains in the job despite a fourth consecutive loss for the league's new boys.
We say: Salernitana 2-1 Cagliari
While a draw will not surprise, the new-manager bounce and home advantage could see Salernitana edge Cagliari at the Arechi on Sunday.

Still unbeaten at home this season, Atalanta BC welcome Genoa to the Gewiss Stadium on Sunday, aiming to recover from another away loss just before the break.
While the Nerazzurri remain without defeat in Bergamo - both in Serie A and the Europa League - they were beaten by Lazio last time out; meanwhile, the Grifone were edged out in a controversial clash with Milan.
We say: Atalanta BC 1-0 Genoa
Boosting morale before a trip to Austria in midweek, Atalanta can get back into action with another home win. Having occasionally struggled to produce their best in Bergamo over the past year, they are much-improved at the Gewiss Stadium this term and should be able to see off hit-and-miss Genoa.

AC Milan vs. Juventus (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Having won seven of their eight Serie A matches this season, AC Milan go head-to-head with old foes Juventus on Sunday evening, as two giants of Calcio convene at San Siro.
While Milan entered the international break after a dramatic defeat of Genoa, Juve came out on top in the Derby della Mole and remain within four points of the Rossoneri.
We say: AC Milan 1-0 Juventus
Without a couple of key players due to suspension, Milan may be considered vulnerable going into Sunday's late kickoff. Nevertheless, the Rossoneri still possess an attacking trident that can pierce Juve's watertight defence.
One goal could decide a tight contest: in eight of the last 11 Serie A meetings between these teams at San Siro, at least one has failed to score.
