Surprisingly trailing their opponents in the early Serie A standings, Inter Milan visit Udinese at the Dacia Arena on Sunday afternoon.
After a last-gasp win over Torino last week, the Nerazzurri sit a point behind the hosts, who have won each of their last four matches to equal their best start to a top-flight season.
We say: Udinese 1-2 Inter Milan
Even if the game remains finely poised heading towards its conclusion, Inter and Udinese are the two teams with the most goals inside the final 15 minutes of play so far in Serie A (four) - and both scored during that period to win last week. Udinese are the form side, but Inter's individual quality may still send the points their way.

Lazio square off against Cremonense on Sunday afternoon looking to bounce back from one of the most unforeseen European defeats in their history earlier this week.
At a time when the visitors sit in seventh place in the Serie A standings, Cremonense are 18th and without a win from their opening six games.
We say: Cremonese 0-2 Lazio
Although their defeat on Thursday was demoralising at the time, you have to expect that Lazio will be motivated to respond at the first opportunity. Cremonense have improved in recent weeks, but we are backing the visitors to run out relatively comfortable winners.

Fiorentina will be looking to end a winless run of five matches when they host Hellas Verona in Serie A on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, head into the weekend's meeting one point behind their forthcoming opponents having failed to make a positive start to the season themselves.
We say: Fiorentina 2-2 Hellas Verona
With Fiorentina missing so many key defenders, we can envisage plenty of goals in Florence on Sunday.
The visitors have been in poor form of late but they may relish facing an out of sorts back line, so we can see a share of the spoils.

Surely a must-win fixture, even at this early stage of the season, ailing Juventus take on rock-bottom Monza at Stadio Brianteo on Sunday.
The Old Lady returns to Serie A action following another failure in Europe and are under pressure to take maximum points against winless opponents who have just fired their coach.
We say: Monza 0-2 Juventus
Even when they take the lead in matches, such has been their passivity, Juventus do not inspire confidence that they can hold on. However, faced with a side low on confidence and cohesion, they can find a way to take three points home to Turin.

Roma vs. Atalanta (Sunday, 5.00pm)

Separated by a point near the summit of the Serie A standings, top-four contenders Roma and Atalanta BC clash at Stadio Olimpico on Sunday.
While the Giallorossi responded to successive losses with two wins in less than a week, the visitors arrive in the capital still unbeaten this term, having equalled the club's best start to a season after six games.
We say: Roma 2-1 Atalanta BC
While their visitors are clearly benefiting from empty midweeks, having failed to qualify for Europe last term, Roma were able to cruise through the latter stages of their Thursday night match after HJK's captain was sent off.
Therefore, the combination of home advantage and greater individual ability up front should decide a closely contested affair in the Giallorossi's favour.

A heavyweight contest between two of the three sides locked together atop Serie A sees champions AC Milan and southern rivals Napoli convene at San Siro on Sunday.
In the final match of the seventh round, just before international football intervenes, Milan aim for a third straight victory, while their visitors arrive in the second city having posted four wins on the spin.
We say: AC Milan 2-1 Napoli
Despite the disappointment of Leao and Osimhen having to watch on from the stands, both sides have numerous routes to goal and should both score at least once. The Rossoneri may inflict Napoli's first defeat of the season, though, thanks to the winning mentality that made them champions in May.
