Valencia make the trip to face Athletic Bilbao on Sunday afternoon looking to build on making the perfect start to the new La Liga campaign.
Meanwhile, the home side are playing a second home game in succession after being held to a goalless draw by Mallorca.
We say: Athletic Bilbao 1-2 Valencia
While Athletic will fancy their chances of getting back on track at the weekend, we cannot dismiss Valencia who feel rejuvenated under Gattuso. With that in mind, the visitors could edge this contest by the odd goal in three, keeping the momentum at the Mestalla going for another week.

Atletico Madrid take on Villarreal in La Liga on Sunday.
Both sides got their league campaigns up and running with impressive 3-0 away wins last weekend.
We say: Atletico Madrid 2-1 Villarreal
Despite both meetings ending as 2-2 draws last season, we expect Atletico to record a victory this time around.
The hosts should be fresher after Villarreal played in midweek, and we expect this to pay dividends, particularly later in the match with Simeone having so many excellent attacking options to call upon from the bench.

Real Sociedad host Barcelona in La Liga on Sunday.
Barca were frustrated 0-0 at home against Rayo Vallecano on the opening weekend, while Real Sociedad recorded a solid 1-0 win away to Cadiz.
We say: Real Sociedad 1-1 Barcelona
After dropping points at home on matchday one, there is significant pressure on Barca to win this match.
However, Real Sociedad are a tough nut to crack, and we can envisage a share of the spoils on Sunday.
