Monza vs. Salernitana (Sunday, 11.30am)

Still unbeaten at home in Serie A this season, Monza host struggling Salernitana in Sunday's early kickoff.
While the Biancorossi sit midway through the table after seven rounds - partly thanks to Monday's victory in Sassuolo - their visitors remain winless following a second-half collapse against Inter last weekend.
We say: Monza 1-1 Salernitana
Neither side is prolific, so a low-scoring draw could be on the cards for Serie A's Sunday lunchtime kickoff. Salernitana may have to wait a while longer for their first league victory of the season, as Monza are generally tough to beat on home soil.

We say: Frosinone 2-1 Hellas Verona

After victory in Europe eased Lazio's woes in midweek, the Rome club seek just their second home win of the season when they host Atalanta BC on Sunday.
Languishing in the bottom half of the Serie A standings after losing to Milan last weekend, Maurizio Sarri's men now welcome La Dea to Stadio Olimpico.
We say: Lazio 1-0 Atalanta BC
Getting back on track in Serie A, Lazio can close the gap to fellow top-four contenders Atalanta by edging a tight game on Sunday. Both sides did well to pick up away wins in Europe this week, but an extra day's rest for the hosts could ultimately prove decisive.

Following the sweet relief of two wins in the space of a week, Roma aim to continue their upturn in fortunes on Sunday, when they visit Serie A's bottom side Cagliari.
Hoping to go into the international break on a high, Jose Mourinho's men have scored six goals without reply to start October in style; their hosts, however, are still waiting for a first win since promotion.
We say: Cagliari 0-2 Roma
Cagliari's wait for a win will go on, as even a Roma side that struggles to produce results on the road should have too much firepower for the Isolani to contain. Further relieving the pressure on Jose Mourinho, the visitors may be injury-hit but are rich in attacking talent and can rack up three straight victories in all competitions.

Level on points in the Serie A standings, Napoli and Fiorentina return from European duty to battle it out for victory at Stadio Maradona on Sunday.
In the final fixture before Italy's top flight is paused and international football intervenes, the champions aim to bounce back from an eventful Champions League loss, while their visitors arrive in Naples on a six-match unbeaten streak.
We say: Napoli 2-2 Fiorentina
With both teams scoring freely at the moment, goals are surely guaranteed at Stadio Maradona on Sunday evening. Napoli can certainly expect to capitalise on Fiorentina's defensive vulnerabilities, but they may not be able to keep the back door fastened shut.
