Sampdoria v Inter
Inter have enjoyed an inconsistent start to the campaign. They beat Bologna comfortably, but lost to Sassuolo and the newly-promoted Parma.
Luciano Spalletti’s men are odds-on at 10/11 to beat Sampdoria. The Genoa outfit have already beaten Napoli and drawn with Fiorentina this season, however.

Frosinone v Juventus
Cristiano Ronaldo will be the centre of attention once again this weekend. Juventus’ new striker bagged his first goals for the Old Lady last weekend, only to be sent off in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Juve and Ronnie will be hoping to maintain their perfect start to the season though when they head to minnows Frosinone.
