Still seeking their first win of the new Serie A season, Hellas Verona welcome unbeaten Atalanta BC to Stadio Bentegodi on Sunday evening.

While the hosts fought back to pick up their first point at Bologna last week, their visitors held the reigning champions to a draw.

We say: Hellas Verona 1-2 Atalanta BC

Though they could not hold on for the win, Atalanta fared well against Milan and confidence seems to be returning to a squad which looked drained at the end of last season. As Verona are yet to solve their defensive issues, the visitors can score more than once and take three points back to Bergamo.

Salernitana vs. Sampdoria (Sunday, 5.30pm)

With just two points and no goals between them so far in Serie A, Salernitana and Sampdoria will both seek their first win on Sunday, as they meet at Stadio Arechi.

While the hosts failed to make the most of a one-man advantage last week, and had to settle for a draw, Samp held firm against Juventus to pick up their first point of the 2022-23 campaign.

We say: Salernitana 1-1 Sampdoria

Given neither side has proved prolific in the opening weeks, a low-scoring draw could be on the cards: in 2022, no team has drawn more matches than Salernitana's nine in Serie A, and they may find that tally grows to double figures on Sunday.

Fiorentina vs. Napoli (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Another flying start to the Serie A season sees free-scoring Napoli meet Fiorentina on Sunday night, boasting maximum points so far.

After they surged to the top of the standings this time last year, Luciano Spalletti's men are at it again - with nine goals from their first two league games - while their hosts have been kept goalless twice in the past few days.

We say: Fiorentina 2-2 Napoli

Now stepping up in class after a straightforward start to the fixture list, Napoli will find it tougher to maintain their ferocious scoring rate, but such are Spalletti's options they should still find the net more than once.

Fiorentina can fight fire with fire, though, and an entertaining affair should be in prospect to conclude Serie A's third round.

Lecce vs. Empoli (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Still seeking the first point of their Serie A comeback campaign, Lecce welcome Empoli to Stadio Via del Mare on Sunday evening.

After ekeing out a draw in their derby with Fiorentina, the visitors will aim to secure their first victory of the season, having endured an awful calendar year so far.

We say: Lecce 1-0 Empoli

A single goal could decide the points' destiny on Sunday, as both sides keep coming up short in the final third. With home advantage on their side, Lecce should edge it; leaving Empoli floundering near the foot of the table.
