Saturday's Serie A predictions including Juventus vs. Venezia

Cagliari vs. Atalanta (Saturday, 2.00pm)

Aiming to establish a new club record for consecutive Serie A wins, Atalanta BC will seek their 10th straight league victory when they visit Cagliari on Saturday.

Leading the Italian top flight ahead of a large chasing pack, La Dea suffered a rare European defeat in midweek; meanwhile, their hosts are engaged in a battle at the bottom.

We say: Cagliari 0-2 Atalanta BC

Although their schedule is packed - and Gasperini rarely rotates his squad - Atalanta should still have enough gas in the tank to beat Cagliari.

The home side have weaknesses at both ends of the pitch, while their high-flying visitors are riding the crest of a wave.

Udinese vs. Napoli (Saturday, 5.00pm)

Having been toppled from the Serie A summit, Napoli are back in the chasing pack ahead of Saturday's clash with Udinese.

Consecutive losses in league and cup have stalled the Azzurri's superb start to the season, while their hosts have steadily maintained a place in mid-table.

We say: Udinese 1-1 Napoli

Napoli may drop more points, as a close-fought and cautious encounter could end all square.

With neither side in fluent form, goals will be scarce, and a share of the points is set to leave Conte and co frustrated.

Juventus vs. Venezia (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Fresh from success in Europe, Juventus will try to revive their Serie A title challenge on Saturday night, when they play host to rock-bottom Venezia.

Juve stunned Manchester City in the Champions League earlier this week, but a series of domestic draws have dented dreams of reclaiming the Scudetto.
