Torino vs. Sampdoria (Monday, 5.30pm)

Toiling Torino are in desperate need of points from the Monday night visit of Sampdoria after their disastrous defeat to Inter Milan last week.
Stuck in the Serie A drop zone, the Granata lost 4-2 after going two goals ahead at San Siro, while Samp have now gone four games without a win in all competitions following successive losses during the past week.
We say: Torino 1-1 Sampdoria
The Granata's express train start against Inter hit the buffers late on, as has happened too many times during this troubled year. A similar display is required over the full 90 minutes against faltering Sampdoria on Monday.
Claudio Ranieri's side, though, can take advantage of the hosts' brittle confidence to earn a valuable point on the road and keep their opponents' heads below water.

Genoa vs. Parma (Monday, 7.45pm)

Genoa are still looking for their first win of the Serie A season as they welcome fellow strugglers Parma to the Marassi on Monday in dire need of a positive result.
Fabio Liverani's 17th-placed visitors have stalled badly too, with no goals in their past two league games and no wins since the start of October.
We say: Genoa 1-2 Parma
The Ducali can tame the Grifone at Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Monday, as their numerous forward options will surely not continue firing blanks much longer.
Genoa's home record has been stark black or white in recent months - either win or lose. Despite Rolando Maran's desperate need for points to save his job, the Rossoblu just cannot keep the back door shut and will slip to another league defeat here.
