Having picked up an unexpected point and extended their unbeaten run to three games last weekend, Salernitana welcome Bologna to Stadio Arechi on Saturday.
While the hosts managed to hold mighty Milan, their visitors finally posted a first Serie A success of the year on Monday, and will now seek to replicate their win in the reverse fixture back on the opening day.
We say: Salernitana 1-2 Bologna
Following a mid-season overhaul, Salernitana are certainly a tougher proposition to encounter, but Bologna can grind out another close-fought victory to find their way back towards the top 10.
If their front three can continue to combine as they did versus Spezia, the Rossoblu are sure to have enough firepower to break through more than once in Salerno.

Following three successive draws, Juventus travel to Empoli on Saturday in search of both three points to aid their top-four pursuit and a small slice of revenge.
Beaten by the Tuscan outfit back in August - kickstarting a remarkable Autumn period for the Serie B champions - the Bianconeri will now meet a nosediving home side at Stadio Carlo Castellani.
We say: Empoli 1-3 Juventus
Juventus will not make the same mistake twice against an ailing Empoli side, and with renewed coherence since the sides last met, should be able to breach their hosts' flimsy rearguard on more than one occasion.
With the Azzurri in a downward spiral, they may have to change approach in order to arrest their decline, but even shuffling the pack would not stop Juve from claiming maximum points this weekend.

Sassuolo vs. Fiorentina (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Seeking to follow up a sensational victory last weekend, Sassuolo host in-form Fiorentina at the Mapei Stadium in Serie A's Saturday evening kickoff.
The clubs meet with the hosts having slain Inter at San Siro but without a home league win since mid-December, while the Viola visit Reggio-Emilia on the back of three straight wins.
We say: Sassuolo 1-1 Fiorentina
There was nothing to split the sides when Fiorentina came back to secure a 2-2 draw in December, and the spoils may be shared once again between two enterprising teams.
Though sure to be lifted by their brilliant performance last week, Sassuolo have won just three of their 13 home games in Serie A, while their visitors certainly travel better than they used to do, so will pick up at least a point.
