Hellas Verona vs. Napoli (Saturday, 2.00pm)
Having headed into the international break with back-to-back losses, Napoli will try to steady the ship on Saturday, when they visit an ailing Hellas Verona side.
Following defeats to Real Madrid and Fiorentina, the Serie A champions resume action at Stadio Bentegodi, where Hellas have won only once in the league this season.
We say: Hellas Verona 1-2 Napoli
The last league draw between Verona and Napoli at the Bentegodi came back in April 1988, when none other than Diego Maradona got his name on the scoresheet.
While Hellas have not conceded too many goals this term, hopes of holding out for a point on Saturday are likely to be futile, as the champions should be fired up and have plenty to prove - while Simeone may enjoy returning to the site of his former successes.
Torino vs. Inter Milan (Saturday, 5.00pm)
After slipping from top spot in Serie A before the international break, Inter Milan can return to the summit with victory over Torino on Saturday evening.
Playing one day ahead of first-placed rivals AC Milan, Inter will aim to continue their brilliant run of results on the road, while Toro are desperate to end a long goal drought.
We say: Torino 1-2 Inter Milan
Averaging well over two goals per game so far this season, Inter can break down an organised home side on Saturday, when their individual quality in attacking areas should make all the difference. Torino's wait for a win will go on, then, at least until next week's game against Lecce.
Sassuolo vs. Lazio (Saturday, 7.45pm)
Aiming to continue their improvement after a dismal start to the season, Lazio visit Sassuolo at the Mapei Stadium on Saturday.
Despite winning their most recent games in Europe and Serie A, the Biancocelesti have lost four times already and will return from the international break level on points with their hosts.
We say: Sassuolo 2-2 Lazio
Both Sassuolo and Lazio average over a goal per game this season, and the rate at which they concede is even higher. Therefore, a contest between two teams that like to impose themselves on proceedings could provide plenty of goalmouth action.
