Bologna vs. Cagliari (Saturday, 5.30pm)
Bologna and Cagliari are separated by one place in the Serie A table heading into their round three encounter at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on Saturday.
Both sides are winless in the opening two fixtures this term, and this weekend represents an opportunity to be third-time lucky.
We say: Bologna 1-0 Cagliari
Cagliari's winless run at Bologna should continue on Saturday, with the away side falling to a slender defeat against their more coherent hosts.

Udinese vs. Frosinone (Saturday, 5.30pm)
Udinese return to Dacia Arena on Saturday seeking their first Serie A victory of the new season against newly-promoted Frosinone.
The Udine outfit are winless after two games, while their visitors secured a stunning victory over Atalanta BC last weekend.
We say: Udinese 2-2 Frosinone
Udinese's games at Dacia Arena in 22-23 were high-scoring and entertaining, and they are not expected to change tack this season.
Frosinone are an unknown quantity but have shown enough to be confident of getting a hard-fought point in a goal-laden game in Udine.

Atalanta vs. Monza (Saturday, 7.45pm)
After experiencing different fortunes last weekend, regional rivals Atalanta BC and Monza meet at the Gewiss Stadium on Saturday evening.
The Lombardy clubs convene in Bergamo sitting on three points apiece after two Serie A matches, as they head into their final fixture before the international break.
We say: Atalanta BC 1-1 Monza
Atalanta have drawn only one of their last 16 Serie A home matches, but they may have to settle for a point this weekend. Under Raffaele Palladino, Monza are capable of springing the odd surprise, and the Biancorossi can avoid being beaten by their Lombardy rivals for the first time since winning promotion last year.

Napoli vs. Lazio (Saturday, 7.45pm)
Last season's top two clash at Stadio Maradona on Saturday, as Serie A champions Napoli host 2022-23 runners-up Lazio.
While the latter still seek their first points of the new season, their Neopolitan counterparts have made a perfect start to the defence of their Scudetto, scoring five times during back-to-back wins.
We say: Napoli 2-1 Lazio
The last league draw between these clubs came almost seven years ago, when Maurizio Sarri was in charge of Napoli. Given their sluggish start, Lazio would surely take a point from this high-profile clash at Stadio Maradona, but the hosts have started smoothly under new management and pose a greater goal threat.
