After coming close to an opening-day upset, Salernitana seek their first Serie A win of the new season when they host Udinese on Monday.
While the Granata came within minutes of victory against Roma, their Bianconeri counterparts were ruthlessly swept aside by Juventus in their first league fixture of 2023-24.
We say: Salernitana 2-1 Udinese
Not only on last week's evidence, but also their improvement since Paulo Sousa took charge, Salernitana start favourites to pick up a first league win of the season. Udinese's woes in the final third have not been resolved, so Andrea Sottil's side will make the long trip back home empty-handed.

Cagliari vs. Inter Milan (Monday, 7.45pm)

Despite ongoing struggles in the transfer market, Inter Milan started the new Serie A season with a win last week, and they visit Cagliari on Monday evening in their first away fixture.
While Inter - who have missed out on several potential recruits - took care of business against Monza on the opening day, their Sardinian counterparts settled for a point on their top-flight return.
We say: Cagliari 1-3 Inter Milan
For all their troubles in the transfer market, Inter possess the type of firepower that few clubs in Serie A can compete with. With a well-balanced and relatively settled setup - plus several new options on the bench - the Nerazzurri should again prove their title credentials with a comprehensive win in Cagliari.
