Serie A Preview: Turin rivals clash

Antonio Conte's side have won four of their opening five Serie A matches, dropping just two points in a 1-1 draw away to Inter on September 14.

Their latest triumph came on Wednesday as the Turin outfit came from behind to defeat Chievo 2-1.

Rudi Garcia's charges beat Sampdoria 2-0 on Wednesday to record five straight wins at the start of a Serie A campaign for the first time in their history, and will hope to extend that run when they play host to Bologna at the Stadio Olimpico.

Other matches see strugglers Atalanta face off with Udinese, Catania host Chievo and Livorno travel to Verona. 

But this year has seen a return to the sort of form that saw them secure the treble in 2010. A 7-0 thrashing of Sassuolo on Sunday certainly boosted the side's confidence.

On Saturday, Rafael Benitez will look to get his Napoli side back to winning ways in their away fixture with Genoa.
