Having both won on the opening day, Torino and Lazio aim to prolong their bright start to the Serie A season when they meet on Saturday evening.
The visitors arrive in Turin following an impressive fightback in their first fixture of the 2022-23 campaign, while their hosts saw off newly-promoted Monza.
We say: Torino 1-2 Lazio
Not only have Lazio recruited well this summer, their squad continue to adapt to the 'Sarri-ball' style and demonstrate resilience when needed - such as last week. Therefore, they can continue a winning start, despite being faced by one of the tougher customers in the middle ranks of Serie A.

Udinese vs. Salernitana (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Two sides beaten on the opening day attempt to post their first Serie A point of the new season, as Udinese host Salernitana on Saturday.
While the hosts went down 4-2 to reigning champions Milan, their southern visitors lost at home against Roma despite a positive display.
We say: Udinese 2-1 Salernitana
Udinese scored nearly twice as many goals as Salernitana last season, and started this term by netting twice away to the champions. Still bedding in several new recruits, the visitors are unlikely to match their hosts when it comes to fluency in the final third.

Both winners on the opening day of the new Serie A season, Inter Milan and Spezia meet at San Siro on Saturday evening, seeking to extend their perfect start.
While the hosts, who are aiming to go one better after finishing runners-up last term, escaped with a last-gasp win at Lecce, their Ligurian counterparts won 1-0 at home to kick off the club's third top-flight campaign.
We say: Inter Milan 3-1 Spezia
Almost invulnerable on home soil in recent years, Inter are unlikely to yield to such modest opponents as Spezia, even if sealing last week's win was a struggle. The Nerazzurri have averaged two goals a game over their last six matches, including pre-season, which highlights their fearsome attacking potential.

Sassuolo vs. Lecce (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Following first-day defeats, both Sassuolo and visitors Lecce will aim to get off the mark in Serie A when they meet on Saturday evening.
While the hosts were swept aside by Juventus on Monday, their southern counterparts returned to the top flight by narrowly missing out on a point against Inter.
We say: Sassuolo 2-1 Lecce
Largely restricted to long-range shots against Juventus on the opening day, Sassuolo should have more space to exploit on Saturday and are set to score more than once. The hosts are more than capable of picking off Lecce, who have conceded five times in two competitive games so far.
