Juventus vs Napoli
This top of the table clash is just what is needed to kick start this weekend’s fixtures following the international break. This will be an extremely exciting encounter between these two attacking minded teams however I predict that Juve’s experience andĀ solidĀ rear guard will help them win all three points.
Prediction 2-0
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Lazio vs Milan
Lazio have had a fantastic start to their Serie A campaign unlike Milan who have already lost 4/7 matches. This will be a close match with both teams keen to winningĀ at leastĀ a point and I suspect a draw is the most likely outcome.
Prediction 1-1
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Cagliari vs Bologna
Both these teams have had a poor start to the season and the Sardinians’ are already being tipped for relegation to Serie B come May. With so littleĀ separatingĀ these two teams a low scoring draw is the most likely outcome.
Prediction 1-1
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Atalanta vs Siena
These two teams occupy 18th and 20th spot respectively and really need to pull up their socks if they intend to stay up. They have both also claimed impressive winsĀ againstĀ the two Milan giants at the San Siro but also need to win important pointsĀ againstĀ fellow minnows.
Prediction 1-1
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Chievo vs Fiorentina
Chievo have seemed to lost some the resilience they had last season and have not been consistent. Fiorentina have also been poor on their travels, securing just one point in three matches. Judging by Chievo’s inconsistent form I predict a close victory for the visitors.
Prediction 1-2
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Inter vs Catania
Inter seem to have found their feet under new coach Stramaccioni following some poor home performances and in week 7 battled hard to hold on to an important win over arch rivals Milan. Catania have had a good start to the season but have yet to win away and I predict that they will return to Sicily with nothing.
Prediction 3-1
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Palermo vs Torino
Palermo have finally found their form following an extremely poor start to the season and currently sit in joint penultimate place. Torino on the other hand have had a promising start to their return to top flight football and have yet to lose on their travels. Both teams will go all out in this fixture but will also be most likely have to settle for a draw.
Prediction 1-1
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Parma vs Sampdoria
Parma areĀ renownedĀ for being stubborn opponents on their home turf and have so far held both Milan and Fiorentina to draws. Sampdoria’s encouraging start to the season has seemed to have lost it’s momentum and I predict they will lose yet again at the Tardini Stadium.
Prediction 2-1
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Udinese vs Pescara
Udinese are still struggling to find Ā their identity following wholesale changes over the summer and Guidolin is still finding the right balance in his squad. Pescara have improved considerably since losing their first three opening matches however will not have enough to leave Udine with any points.
Prediction 3-1
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Genoa vs Roma
While both Genoa and Roma have played some exciting football this season their critics will argue that they have succumbed to far too many defensive slip ups. With both having such strong front lines you can bank on a high scoring draw.Ā
Prediction 2-2
