Salernitana and Frosinone meet at Stadio Arechi for their first-ever Serie A encounter on Friday night.
The sides have met numerous times in the lower league over the past few years, but this weekend opener will be a first.
We say: Salernitana 0-1 Frosinone
Goals have not been commonplace in recent meetings between these sides, and another cagey encounter could be on the cards.
Without Dia, Salernitana have struggled heavily in front of goal though, and an in-form Frosinone may just edge this close-looking matchup.

Early high-flyers Lecce welcome newly-promoted Genoa to the Stadio Via del Mare in Serie A on Friday night.
Roberto D'Aversa has led his Lecce side to fourth after four games, occupying one of the Champions League places currently.
We say: Lecce 1-1 Genoa
Despite never going five games unbeaten at the start of a Serie A season before, Lecce will fancy their chances of setting that new club record here.
Genoa have also shown some very promising signs, especially in games against Lazio and Napoli, and should make this a close, competitive encounter.
