Still unbeaten in Serie A since the opening day, Udinese host mid-table Torino on Sunday afternoon at the Dacia Arena.

Though they were finally felled by Monza in their midweek Coppa Italia tie, the Bianconeri sat sixth in the standings after the first 10 rounds - some 10 points ahead of their latest opponents.

We say: Udinese 2-1 Torino

Udinese and Torino have not drawn a Serie A match since September 2018, and that run could continue, as the former's front-foot approach pays off once again. The visitors lack a consistent goal threat, while their hosts already have 11 different names on the scoresheet this term.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Bologna vs. Lecce (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Both languishing just outside the Serie A drop zone after the first 10 rounds, Bologna and Lecce meet at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on Sunday afternoon.

The teams are separated by a point in the standings, with the visitors holding the upper hand, having lost only once in their last five matches.

We say: Bologna 2-1 Lecce

Lifted by a rare win in midweek and Arnautovic's return, Bologna can eke out a precious home victory against a Lecce side that has been less effective on the road - losing three of five away games so far.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Atalanta vs. Lazio (Sunday, 5.00pm)

Two of Serie A's top six do battle in Bergamo on Sunday evening, as Atalanta BC welcome Lazio to the Gewiss Stadium.

Separated by three points and three places after the first 10 rounds, the teams convene for a contest between Calcio's tightest defences - quite a turnaround for clubs long lauded for their attacking approach.

We say: Atalanta BC 1-1 Lazio

A third straight draw between these sides seems the likeliest outcome, as neither gives much away at the back and they are well-matched in other areas. A fascinating tactical battle between 'Gasp' and Sarri is set to ensue, and fine details could determine the result.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Roma vs. Napoli (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Featuring two southern giants of Serie A, Sunday night's Derby del Sole between leaders Napoli and a resurgent Roma promises an enthralling encounter at Stadio Olimpico.

The sides are separated by four points in the standings, with both aiming to boost their Scudetto credentials at the other's expense. While the visitors remain unbeaten, the Giallorossi have won their last three league matches following Monday's success at Sampdoria.

We say: Roma 1-2 Napoli

The last two matches in this southern derby have finished level, and that streak would reach three for the first time in 27 years if two contrasting sides cannot be separated at the Olimpico. However, Napoli's slicker passing and more clinical touch in the box could prove the factors which tip the balance in their favour.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.
