BT Sport, from 5pm Sunday

Torino v SassuoloBT Sport 3, 5pm
Torino had a strong home record last season - losing just two league games at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino - and look a solid bet to see off Sassuolo.

A difficult season could be in store for Sassuolo, who are adjusting to life without manager Eusebio Di Francesco, the man who led them to promotion in 2013.

Key stat
Torino have lost two of their last 19 home league fixtures.


Milan v CagliariBT Sport 1, 7.45pm
A quiet summer in the transfer market seems to have suited Milan, who won 3-0 at Crotone in their Serie A opener.

The Rossoneri qualified for the Europa League group stage with the minimum of fuss and they should be too strong for Cagliari, who tend to struggle away from home – they have lost on each of their last four road trips.

Napoli v AtalantaBT Sport 3, 7.45pm
Napoli kicked off their season with a 3-1 win at newly-promoted Verona but they may find Atalanta tougher to budge.

Atalanta finished just one place behind the Little Donkeys last term and stunned them by recording a remarkable league double.

The visitors have lost some key players but are defensively sound and should keep the score respectable.
