Separated by three points in the Serie A standings after events in midweek, Fiorentina and Sassuolo both seek their first win of the new year on Saturday, when they meet at Stadio Artemio Franchi.

While the Viola let two points slip in Wednesday's draw with Monza, their Emilian counterparts were sunk by lowly Sampdoria.

We say: Fiorentina 1-0 Sassuolo

Either side has had their struggles in the final third this season, after both previously earned a reputation for attack-minded football and guaranteed goals. It could therefore be a tight contest at the Franchi, where the home side are set to come out on top thanks to their greater depth of individual talent and potential game-changers.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Juventus vs. Udinese (Saturday, 5.00pm)

A last-gasp goal in midweek extended the winning run of Juventus to its seventh game, and they aim to prolong their success streak again on Saturday, when they welcome Udinese to Turin.

After managing to eke out another victory at Cremonese, Juve closed to within seven points of Serie A's top spot, while their fellow Bianconeri took just one point at home to Empoli as their winless run rolled on.

We say: Juventus 2-0 Udinese

Juventus do not concede goals; Udinese rarely score them. Only one result is surely in store, then, at a venue where the hosts remain unbeaten in the league this season and have won six from eight so far.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Monza vs. Inter Milan (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Having kicked off 2023 with a crucial win in midweek, Inter Milan attempt to climb the Serie A standings again on Saturday, as they take the short trip to Monza.

Inter returned to action by handing out a first defeat of the season to leaders Napoli, while their Lombardy neighbours took a point home from Florence to edge further clear of the drop zone.

We say: Monza 1-2 Inter Milan

Under Palladino, it is clear that Monza are credible contenders to stay up at the end of their debut Serie A season, but beating in-form Inter will prove a bridge too far. The visitors' defeat of Napoli has only boosted confidence in the camp, and they can breach even a much-improved Biancorossi defence more than once.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
