Parma Vs Juventus
Parma will be feeling aggrieved following their loss to Genoa during Gameweek 10 when a well taken Mesbah equaliser was incorrectly ruled to be offside. They will have to pick themselves up quickly when a confident Juventus side visit the Tardini Stadium following a dominant home win over lowly Catania. Away win expected here.
Prediction 0-2

Milan Vs Fiorentina
Milan looked completely uninspired as they were held at the San Siro by a determined Lazio side. Allergri has a lot of work to do if he is to get his team back on track, starting with frontman Balotelli who is struggling for form at the moment. La Viola were admittedly second best when an attacking Napoli side visited Florence last weekend and will look at this visit to Milan as a chance to get back to winning ways.
Prediction 1-1

Napoli Vs Catania
Napoli were superb as they defeated Fiorentina on their home soil to maintain their place in the standings while Catania were thrashed at the Juventus stadium to remain among the bottom three. I predict the Sicilians stand little chance of controlling this dynamic Napoli side, with Higuain and Callejon likely to run riot.
Prediction 3-0

Livorno Vs Atalanta
Livorno almost pulled off one of the comebacks of the season after conceding two early goals but coming back strong with three successive strikes only to be foiled by a last minute Cerci penalty. Atalanta also did well to subdue a tough Inter side at Bergamo and will be determined to keep their good run of form going. Draw expected here.
Prediction 2-2

Verona Vs Cagliari
Despite struggling during the opening 45 minutes Verona came out after the interval a different side and were duly rewarded for their determination to keep up their 100% home record. The Sardinians were extremely poor as they were swept aside by an average Bologna side. Verona are proving to be a force to be reckoned with on their home turf as they sit in 5th position and I predict another win on Sunday.
Prediction 2-0
Lazio Vs Genoa
Lazio will be pleased that they managed to return from the San Siro with a hard-earned point considering their congested fixture list. Genoa will also be pleased with their overall start to the season as they put further distance with a well deserved home win over Parma. I am backing Lazio to win this comfortably.
Prediction 2-0

Udinese Vs Inter
Udinese picked up their first points on the road after a hard fought win over Sassuolo while the Nerazzuri were average at best when they visited Atalanta. Considering that both these sides have been thus far very inconsistent, I am going for a score draw.
Prediction 2-2

Sampdora Vs Sassuolo
Both sides have been far from impressive in the opening 10 Gameweeks as they look to add as many points to their name as possible and avoid a late relegation scrap. Considering that Sassuolo travel so badly I won’t be surprised if the home team take this.
Prediction 1-0

Torino Vs Roma
Torino shared the spoils following a six goal thriller in Livorno on Wednesday night. Il Toro were rather fortunate since after taking an early lead they but required a last minute penalty to leave with a point. Roma continued their impressive run with yet another win. While it was not their most emphatic so far this season coach Rudi Garcia rightfully praised his side’s consistent play. Considering the Romans form I am backing them to win again in Torino.
Prediction 0-2
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Bologna Vs Chievo
With two wins on the trot, Bologna have finally climbed out of the relegation zone and they will hope that their dismal start to the season is well and truly behind them. Chievo put on a brave display to leave Rome empty handed but with their heads held high, as they lost by the slenderest of margins against the most in form team in Europe. Considering both teams form, Bologna could just pip this.
Prediction 2-0
