Juventus and Roma defend their perfect record in the Italian league this weekend against Udinese and Reggina.
Juventus have scored eight goals in their two matches so far against Livorno and Cagliari, and their home match against out-of-form Udinese tomorrow will give them a chance to add to their tally.
Udinese have yet to win this season though the form of Italy international striker Antonio Di Natale, who scored twice in Wednesday's 2-1 Euro 2008 qualifying victory in Ukraine, will be a plus.
Juventus defender Jonathan Zebina will be sidelined following his four-match suspension for slapping a steward in the face.
Zebina was also fined 15,000 euros (US$21,000) over the incident which occurred after he had been sent off in the match against Cagliari.
Alessandro Birindelli is set to come in at right back in place of Zebina and Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri will probably field Domenico Criscito and Jorge Andrade in central defense due to French defender Jean-Alain Boumsong's muscular problem.
Udinese coach Pasquale Marino meanwhile is expected to have few options in midfield without Giampiero Pinzi, Dias Felipe, Christian Obodo and Raffaele De Martino.
Like Juventus, Luciano Spaletti's Roma have started the season well, beating Palermo and Sienna, to give them maximum points but, looking at the form book, the trip to Reggina could be tricky.
Reggina have done well at home to Rome in their last fixtures, with Roma only winning once in their last four clashes in Calabria.
Defender Christian Panucci is set to appear in the centre of defense with striker Francesco Totti supported by attacking midfielder Ludovic Giuly.
A win for Roma would not only keep up their 100 percent record in Italy but would set an optimistic note for their subsequent tough run of matches.
Twelve days after winning her second Grand Slam title at the French Open, Coco Gauff fell at the first hurdle on grass in Berlin on Thursday as beaten Paris finalist Aryna Sabalenka advanced to the quarter-finals.

Sergio Ramos on Tuesday outfoxed two Inter players and artfully headed home the first goal for Monterrey at the FIFA Club World Cup. The 39-year-old Ramos slipped through the penalty area for the score just as he did for so many years in the shirts of Real Madrid and Spain’s national team, with whom he combined smarts, timing and physicality. Ramos’ clever goal and his overall defensive play at the Rose Bowl were major factors in Monterrey’s impressive 1-1 draw against the UEFA Champions League finalists in the clubs’ first match of the tournament. “There is always a joy to contribute to the
Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka staged a “crazy comeback,” saving four match points before beating Elena Rybakina 7-6 (6), 3-6, 7-6 (6) in the quarter-finals of the Berlin Open on Friday. Sabalenka was 6-2 down in the final-set tie-breaker, but won six straight points to reach her eighth semi-final of the season. “Elena is a great player and we’ve had a lot of tough battles,” Sabalenka said. “I have no idea how I was able to win those last points. I think I just got lucky.” “I remember a long time ago when I was just starting, I won a lot of matches being down
While British star Jack Draper spent the past week trying to find rhythm and comfort in his first grass tournament of the season at the Queen’s Club Championships in London, Jiri Lehecka on Saturday bulldozed everything in his path.

Lehecka is also the first Czech to reach the men’s title match at Queen’s since Ivan Lendl lifted the trophy in 1990. Draper, who
