Palermo vs Cagliari
Palermo will look at this fixture as an opportunity to register their first points this season, following two consecutive defeats. Cagliari were shocking in their 1-1 home draw against Atalanta, a game in which they missed two penalties and played against 10 men for over an hour and had to rely on a last minute goal to snatch a point. They really need to perform better if they want to maintain their Serie A status. Palermo should prove too much for the Sardinians in this fixture.
Prediction 2-1
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Milan vs Atalanta
Milan bounced back to a convincing away win in Week 2, following an unexpected loss to Sampdoria at the San Siro in the opening fixture of the Serie A season, while Atalanta almost grabbed all three points away to Cagliari. While Milan will most likely be without the services of Prince Boateng and Montelivo through injury, there can only be one winner in this match.
Prediction 2-0
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Chievo vs Lazio
Lazio have had a flying start to their campaign, following two straight wins and they will fancy themselves to leave Verona with all three points this Sunday. Chievo are known to be stubborn in front of their home fans, however Lazio could just pip this, with the free scoring Klose the most likely man to grab the goals.
Prediction 1-2
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Fiorentina vs Catania
Fiorentina were unlucky to lose in Naples two weeks ago and have been playing some good football under new coach Vincenzo Montella this season. Catania have also started well this campaign and will definitely put up a fight against la Viola. Montella will be looking towards star striker Jovetic to lead them to victory and he has already scored three goals in two games this season.
Prediction 2-1
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Genoa vs Juventus
Genoa have had quite a good start and are showing that they are a team ready to score goals, both home and away, while there defence has is still a little shaky. Juventus have maintained a 100% record so far, following a couple of controversial wins and they will look to carry on their winning streak when they visit Genoa, though you can be sure Genoa will not go down without a fight.
Prediction 1-2
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Napoli vs Parma
Napoli have also won two out of two this season and will look at this home fixture to score another three points on the board. Parma while tough at home, are still finding their feet following the departure of creative maestro Giovinco and will most likely struggle on their travels this year. With the likes of Hamsik and Cavani, you can be sure Napoli will win by a comfortable margin.
Prediction 3-0
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Pescara vs Sampdoria
While both these teams have just been promoted, they are both in completely contrasting situations, with Pescara succumbing to two 3-0 defeats while La Samp have won two on the trot. This will be a close game between these two former Serie B rivals and I predict it will end in a stalemate.
Prediction 1-1
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Roma vs Bologna
Roma pulled off an impressive win at the San Siro in Week 2, when they shrugged aside the Nerazzuri on their home turf, with the forever young Totti pulling all the strings! On the other hand alarm bells may already be ringing for Bologna as they have yet to win a single point and have looked lacklustre. Roma should win comfortably at the Olimpico.
Prediction 3-0
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Siena vs Udinese
Siena take on a bruised Udinese team who have yet to win any points this season and will be keen to register their first three points of the new campaign. Siena on the other hand have not performed badly and will try their best to grab at least a point.
Prediction 1-2
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Torino vs Inter
Il Granata take on Inter in Turin during the lone Sunday night fixture, in what should be a hard fought contest with the visitors having a contingent of South American players returning from international duty and will have to shrug off their jet lag to avoid a second defeat on the trot. Inter have performed better so far on their travels this season then at home, scoring 8 goals and conceding none. Torino have yet to lose this season and will look to keep their positive run going, however the visitors might prove too much for the newly promoted side.
Prediction 1-2
