Serie A predictions and predicted line-ups: every game of matchday five

Matchday five of Serie A runs from Friday 18 to Sunday 20 September and is the last before the international break: the league then stops until 10 October. Roma and Inter Milan lead on 12 points, and they meet at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday. Behind them, Como and Lazio have 10, Cagliari 9 and AC Milan 8.

It is also a round of new benches. Bologna sacked Tedesco and Palladino makes his debut against Torino on Saturday. The disciplinary judge banned only one player, Genoa's Vasquez, but three staff members: Inter assistant coach Kolarov misses Roma against Inter, Atalanta goalkeeping coach Nenci misses Juventus against Atalanta, and Torino staff member Biglia misses Bologna against Torino.

In the last round our calls came in 6 times out of 10.

The top of the table
