Napoli against Bologna, Sunday at 18:00, comes three days after a 0-1 home defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League, a night on which Napoli lost first Meret and then Alisson Santos to injury inside twelve minutes. Our call is the home side to score, confidence 6.
Torino against Roma on Monday is the league leaders' first test away from the Olimpico: we have the away side to score, confidence 7. And Inter Milan against Udinese closes the round on Monday night at San Siro.

How to read these calls
Every call carries a confidence from 1 to 10, our measure of how solid the picture is: not a promise, a weight. On Monday, with the round closed, we count all of them in the recap, the ones that missed included.
Every game with our calls is on the Serie A page. The record of our settled calls is in the results history, and the individual calls are in player predictions.
