A long-awaited home debut

Tight contest in Tuscany

Serie A’s surprise package

Como vs Bologna (Saturday, 14:00)

In a high-stakes Serie A clash, Como and Bologna both seek their first victory of the season. The hosts, newly promoted, have found the transition to top-flight football challenging, managing just one point from their opening three matches, and currently sits at the bottom of the table.

Bologna, not far ahead in 18th place with two points, faces similar pressures, having struggled to convert possession into points.

Como will hope to capitalize on their home-field advantage at the Sinigaglia, hosting its first Serie A game in over two decades. For Bologna, who have never won away at Como, the key will lie in capitalizing the scoring chances that Dan N’doye and Riccardo Orsolini will likely create.

Bettors might look toward a tight, low-scoring affair, with Como’s xG of just 0.8 hinting at continued offensive struggles. A draw seems also a likely outcome in this battle of strugglers.

Tip: Both Teams To Score – Yes @ 5/6

Empoli vs Juventus (Saturday, 17:00)

Empoli will look to surprise as they host Juventus, with the hosts aiming for Serie A survival while Juve target the Scudetto.

Empoli, unbeaten in their first three games, have shown resilience, notably defeating Roma at the Olimpico.

Missing key player Fazzini, they’ll rely on strikers Colombo and Gyasi to test Juve’s solid backline.

Thiago Motta's Juventus have yet to concede this season, boasting a perfect defensive record. With Gatti and Bremer in top form, the Bianconeri will aim for their fourth consecutive clean sheet, a feat not achieved since 2014/2015.

Vlahovic, eager to find the net, leads an attack that will also feature new signing Koopmeiners.

Juventus have won six of their last seven trips to Empoli, averaging 2.3 goals per game.

Backing Juventus to win with Under 2.5 goals could be a smart bet, considering both sides' defensive strengths. Expect a tight victory for the visitors.

Tip: Juventus win and Under 3.5 Goals @ 23/20

Torino vs Lecce (Saturday, 14:00)

The Granata, led by Paolo Vanoli, have been one of the surprise packages this season, showing a newfound attacking verve at home.

While Torino's xG suggests they've taken defensive risks, Milinković-Savić's heroics, including a penalty save against Atalanta, have helped them keep goals at bay.

Lecce, on the other hand, will look to play on the counter, but they'll miss the suspended Patrick Dorgu, a promising 19-year-old winger. With Adams likely starting alongside Duvan Zapata, Torino will aim to extend their strong home record, having won their last four league meetings against Lecce without conceding.

Expect a low-scoring match with defensive solidity on both sides. You can back Torino with a double chance as a solid option, while Under 2.5 goals also looks a good bet.

Tip: Torino Or Draw and Under 2.5 Goals @ 19/20
