In the immediate aftermath of Champions League heartbreak, Scudetto-chasing Inter Milan travel to Sardinia this weekend for Sunday's clash with mid-table Cagliari.
Antonio Conte's side calamitously crashed out of Europe in midweek but have their eyes fixed on closing the gap at the top of the Serie A table to city rivals AC Milan as they face a home side who have failed to win in their last three league games.
We say: Cagliari 1-3 Inter Milan
Though tired and demoralised by their midweek Champions League travails, Inter can prove that they are made of sterner stuff on Sunday, as they must win to keep up with their closest rivals.
Lautaro Martinez and Alexis Sanchez can step up their efforts in support of the irrepressible Romelu Lukaku and should do so in Cagliari, but expect the home side to carry a significant - if not decisive - threat on the break.

Atalanta BC take on Fiorentina on Sunday afternoon looking to end a run of three games without a victory in Serie A.
While the home side's poor form has left them in ninth position in the standings, Fiorentina are in 17th spot after a five-match winless streak.
We say: Atalanta BC 3-1 Fiorentina
After a couple of strong results in the Champions League, it may only be a matter of time before Atalanta improve on the domestic front. With Fiorentina struggling for goals, this could be the game where Atalanta finally click back into gear.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Roma make the trip to the Renato Dall'Ara Stadium to face Bologna looking to end a two-match winless streak in Serie A.
While the home side lost out at Inter Milan last weekend, Sinisa Mihajlovic's team had prevailed in three of their previous four outings.
We say: Bologna 1-2 Roma
After a couple of indifferent performances, Fonseca is aware that he needs a positive response from his team. While we feel that they will be made to work hard by their hosts at the weekend, expect a much-improved display from Roma as they look to remain in touch with the top four.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a draw or an away win.

Napoli's Stadio Diego Armando Maradona will stage their Sunday afternoon encounter with struggling Sampdoria, after a midweek draw against Real Sociedad saw them through to the last-16 of the Europa League.
Meanwhile, Claudio Ranieri's Samp side have been starved of success in recent weeks - the Blucerchiati's latest defeat coming at home to runaway Serie A leaders AC Milan last weekend.
We say: Napoli 2-1 Sampdoria
In-form Napoli have looked singularly determined to hunt down leaders Milan and mount a serious challenge for the Scudetto this season, with goals now starting to flow from all angles.
Samp's has been a season of one peak and two steep troughs, with the Blucerchiati offering up a limited brand of uninspiring football that is not of the level needed to upset Sunday's superior opponents.

Genoa vs. Juventus (Sunday, 5.00pm)

Juventus visit lowly Genoa on Sunday in buoyant mood as the Serie A champions continue their pursuit of runaway leaders AC Milan after a morale-raising Camp Nou triumph in midweek.
The hosts, meanwhile, are still languishing in the relegation zone following another sluggish start, with rumours circulating about the immediate future of luckless manager Rolando Maran.
We say: Genoa 0-2 Juventus
Rock-bottom confidence and apparently little direction under coach Rolando Maran mean that his team's task in keeping out Juve's cast of stars is virtually unachievable.
Andrea Pirlo can use this opportunity to build some winning momentum behind his side's Scudetto challenge and regain the ruthless focus which had been missing from the opening weeks of their campaign.

AC Milan vs. Parma (Sunday, 7.45pm)

League leaders AC Milan seek to follow up their serene qualification for the knockout rounds of the Europa League in midweek with victory against Parma at San Siro this Sunday.
The Emilians will arrive in Milan following a disappointing draw with Benevento, which sees the teams separated by 16 points in the standings but sharing a similar propensity for progressive football.
We say: AC Milan 1-0 Parma
Milan have started the campaign at record-breaking pace and are yet to experience defeat in domestic competition, thanks to a winning combination of youthful exuberance, grit and flair.
Sunday's opponents Parma should be no walkover - having significantly improved their defensive record of late - but are far short of the firepower needed to end the Rossoneri's canter towards being crowned Serie A 'winter champions'.
Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.
