Genoa Vs Fiorentina
Fiorentina are unbeaten in their last 13 Serie A games against Genoa (W7 D6). However, four of their last five meetings in the league have seen these two sides share the points. Only three goals have been scored in the last four Serie A meetings between Genoa and Fiorentina.
This is only the fifth time that Genoa have managed to win their first two games of the season in Serie A, after 1932/33, 1936/37, 1947/48 and 2009/10. Only in 32/33 and 09/10 did they win three out of three. Genoa have won both of their games this season after trailing, claiming six points from behind in total.

Over the last six Serie A meetings between these two sides, the same result has never repeated for two consecutive games – in their last meeting, they drew 1-1 at the San Siro. AC Milan are unbeaten in their last nine meetings against Udinese at the San Siro (W6 D3). The Rossoneri have found the net in each of their last 18 home games against the Friulani in Serie A (an average of 2.8 per game). AC Milan have already conceded six goals after two matchdays, equalling their worst tally in Serie A (like in 1946/47 and 1983/84). All of these six goals conceded by AC Milan have been from inside the penalty box.

The last nine games between these two sides at Roma’s ground have always produced at least two goals.
Sampdoria have won their first two games of the season for the ninth time in Serie A – in seven of those previous occasions they went on to finish at least 8th. Roma have been leading for 106 minutes so far in this campaign – more than any other side in this Serie A (excl. Sassuolo who’ve been awarded a loss in their last game against Pescara).

Pescara’s only home win in Serie A against Inter was in April 1978 – since then, the Nerazzurri have won four times, with one draw. Pescara have collected four points from the first two Serie A match-days, their best opening tally in Serie A since 1987/88. This is the 15th time in their history that Inter have failed to win in the two opening rounds of a Serie A campaign, and the first time they’ve done so since 2011/12.

Empoli Vs Crotone
Empoli and Crotone have met 16 times in Serie B – the Calabrians lead by five wins to four, with seven draws. However, Empoli are unbeaten at home against Crotone (W4 D4). The last time Empoli started a Serie A campaign with three losses in a row was in 2005/06. The last four clubs making their Serie A debut have always started by failing to win any of their first three games in the top-flight: Carpi and Frosinone in 2015/16, Sassuolo in 2013/14 and Treviso in 2005/06.
