### Friday, 23 October 2026
**Torino vs Monza (20:45)**
**Prediction: Torino 2-1 Monza**
Torino (10 pts) are in better recent form after a 3-0 win at Parma. Monza (7 pts) can score (13 goals) but remain inconsistent defensively. Home advantage and current momentum favour Torino in a competitive match.
### Saturday, 24 October 2026
**Cagliari vs Bologna (15:00)**
**Prediction: Cagliari 1-0 Bologna**
Cagliari (13 pts) continue to overachieve with a solid defensive record. Bologna (5 pts) are struggling near the bottom. Expect a tight, low-scoring home win.
**Como vs Sassuolo (15:00)**
**Prediction: Como 2-1 Sassuolo**
Como (14 pts) are one of the early surprises and strong at home. Sassuolo (8 pts) are inconsistent. Como’s organisation and form should see them take the points.
**Napoli vs Roma (18:00)**
**Prediction: Napoli 1-1 Roma** (or Roma 1-0)
Big match. Roma (17 pts) remain very solid and hard to break down. Napoli (10 pts) need points after a recent loss but have quality. A tight, tactical draw or narrow Roma win is most likely.
**Lazio vs Parma (20:45)**
**Prediction: Lazio 2-0 Parma**
Lazio (19 pts) are flying and strong at home. Parma (4 pts) are near the bottom and struggling for goals. Comfortable home win expected.
### Sunday, 25 October 2026
**Inter vs Fiorentina (12:30)**
**Prediction: Inter 3-0 Fiorentina**
Inter (19 pts) are dominant at home and in excellent form. Fiorentina (4 pts) remain fragile. Inter should control and win comfortably.
**Atalanta vs Frosinone (15:00)**
**Prediction: Atalanta 2-1 Frosinone**
Atalanta (9 pts) need consistency at home. Frosinone (13 pts) have been impressive but face a step up. Home advantage and quality edge give Atalanta the slight favour.
**Genoa vs Venezia (15:00)**
**Prediction: Genoa 1-1 Venezia**
Both near the bottom (Genoa 4 pts, Venezia 3 pts). Venezia finally won in MD7; Genoa need points at home. A scrappy draw is the most probable outcome.
**Lecce vs Juventus (18:00)**
**Prediction: Lecce 1-2 Juventus**
Juventus (11 pts) are solid away and need to bounce back. Lecce (9 pts) can be dangerous at home but Juventus’ quality should edge a tight contest.
**Udinese vs Milan (20:45)**
**Prediction: Udinese 1-2 Milan**
Milan (15 pts) are unbeaten and in good form. Udinese (4 pts) are struggling. Milan’s balance and attacking options should secure the three points on the road.
