This match is a Toscan derby and a face-off of two best offenses in the first five rounds of Serie B. Both coaches announced a fight to win, both of them are hoping for a good performance and both of them announced three great forwards in the first lineup. On one side there are Verdi, Tavano and Maccarone and on the other Rosina, Paolucci and Gianetti. Those are respectable offenses, but they are not the only aces Sarri and Berreta have up their sleeves because both teams have excellent efficiency with free kicks, especially Empoli who look deadly with Tonelli in the goal area after a corner kick. Anything except a good match with at least three goals would be a big surprise. Details

The away team are playing horribly and they have trouble with absences which was mentioned in the review and their "Serie B Ferguson" Foscarini so far has no solutions for the problems in Cittadella. They look harmless in the offense and the defense looks completely disorganized and that is a great opportunity for Novara to reach an easy win in front of their fans. Gonzales and the team are not brilliant so far, but despite a somewhat poorer performance they score more than good results, especially at home. Novara should take all three points for the third time this season. Details

The match is played at San Siro and there Milan, "by default", doesn't lose it's matches against Napoli, but at this moment to make them favorites for this one would be crazy thing to do. The Milan team is playing well this season but has huge problems with injuries in key positions. Key playmakers Kaka and Montolivo are out, as well as important strikers El Shaarawy and Pazzini, center back Bonera and great young fullback De Scigli. In addition to that, they are playing every three days and their performance is unconvincing. They scraped a point against Torino, and against Celtic they managed to take the full pray with a lot of luck. On the other hand Napoli plays some great football under Benitez, solid in the defense and quick and swift in the offense. It's difficoult to say who is more dangerous in their attack; Higuain as poacher, or very dangerous Callejon, Hamsik or Insigne who are behind him (Higuain). Napoli has achieved all victories so far, and even though they played against Borussia Dortmund against who they have poor record, they managed to win that one, and it wouldn't be surprising if they achieve a victory today in Milano.

If we take the first matches into consideration, playing in Series A proved to be too much for the tiny Sassuolo. They have had clean losses form teams which were supposed to be their main competitors in the relegation battle. If that's the case, what hope to they have in the matches with the giants - which is what Inter is under Mazzarrini. Besides, demolishing Catania 0-3 in Sicily and playing 1-1 against Juventus are great results and Inter's defense looks much tougher than last season. The hosts lost their main center back Terranova, Marzoratti is out, Marrone and Berardi also, while Inter's long list of absences is reduced to only two players - Chivu and Zanetti. Sassuolo will have to look for their first points in some other match. Details

The match is played in Trieste, but Cagliari are used to that. This season they've already beaten Atlanta there. The fact that Cagliari are continuing with the good performances since last season comes as no surprise as the team has been left almost unchanged. On the other hand, Sampdoria have lost a couple of important players during the summer, they seemed desperate against Genoa in last week's city derby, and they're short of their key striker Eder. I think Rossi's team will have a hard time taking the point away from Cagliari, despite the fact that the match is being held on neutral ground. Details
