Both seeking to end long Serie A winless streaks, local rivals Como and Monza will meet at Stadio Sinigaglia on Saturday afternoon.
While the Lariani have gone seven games without a win, their visitors last tasted success in October.
We say: Como 1-0 Monza
The stakes are already high in this battle at the bottom of Serie A, and it should be a tight, tense encounter.
Neither side has scored freely this term, so one goal may decide the points' destiny - and hosts Como could claim them.

Beset by chronic inconsistency, AC Milan will aim to stay on the coat-tails of Serie A's top six as they host mid-table Empoli on Saturday.
Milan's grim goalless draw with Juventus left them seventh in the standings, before victory in Bratislava boosted their Champions League campaign - and their visitors could pull level on points with a win at San Siro.
We say: AC Milan 2-0 Empoli
While they are often vulnerable on the road, Milan tend to keep things tight at San Siro, where they will put an end Empoli's unbeaten run.
Paulo Fonseca's rotation policy may be contributing some uneven performances, but the Rossoneri should still have too much firepower for their Tuscan counterparts to handle.

Bologna vs. Venezia (Saturday, 7.45pm)

After another setback in Europe earlier this week, Bologna will try to get back on track by beating Venezia on Saturday evening.
The Rossoblu sit near the foot of the Champions League standings after losing to Lille, while their visitors occupy last place in Serie A.
We say: Bologna 1-0 Venezia
Both in the bottom half of the rankings for attacking output, these low-scoring sides may ultimately be separated by a single goal.
Given Venezia's frailties at the back, Bologna should end November on a high, securing three welcome points in front of their fans.
