Join us for all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s two Serie A games, as Cesc Fabregas and Como visit Cagliari, then Juventus face giant-killers Verona.
These fixtures conclude Week 2 and we’ve had so many surprises already, meaning only Juve or Verona could possibly end the second round with a 100 per cent record.
At 17.30 UK time (16.30 GMT), Como seek their first points in a tricky trip to Cagliari.
The Stadio Bentegodi hosts Verona vs. Juventus at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT), so this is a top of the table showdown.

Nicolò Savona admits it was a ‘dream’ to score on his first senior start for Juventus, while Dusan Vlahovic seemed eager to avoid criticising Thiago Motta’s predecessor Max Allegri https://t.co/djkWQml2my #Juventus #SerieA #VeronaJuve #SerieAEnilive #Calcio #Vlahovic

Somewhat inevitably, Vlahovic named Man of the Match.
Dusan Vlahovic scored two and Nicolò Savona got the other on his full Juventus debut, as the Bianconeri crushed Verona to keep the only perfect record after two Serie A rounds https://t.co/BjwBZnxjUs #VeronaJuve #SerieA #Calcio #SerieAEnilive

The only team with a perfect record so far, Vlahovic two goals, Savona the other.
Dani Silva on the counter, but Bremer will not let him through.
Kalulu bursts forward on a Kenan Yildiz assist, but is eventually crowded out in the Verona box.
Into 4 minutes of stoppages.
Gatti and Cambiaso off, Danilo and Anghele’ on for Juventus.
Duda makes way for Dani Silva in the Verona squad.
Harroui and Tchatchoua are the last to give in for Hellas, the roll across for Harroui from the left, but Di Gregorio and Fagioli combine to get something on it.
Harroui tries again to dribble past everyone, but once more Bremer is the brick wall that lets nobody past.
Bizarre Gatti clearance gifts a corner, but Suslov’s set play is too easy for Di Gregorio.
Kalulu makes his Juventus debut, with Rouhi.
Savona and Cabal off.
Harroui on the counter down the right, but again can only find the side-netting.
This means, unless something spectacular happens in the next 18 minutes, that Juve will be the only team with a 100 per cent record after 2 rounds.
Cooling break in Verona.
Tchatchoua gets down the right, but slips and the cross only hits the side-netting.
Mbangula off, Douglas Luiz on for Juventus.
That was very cheeky, a free kick from a very tight angle, Suslov went straight for the near bottom corner and Vlahovic was the one who intercepted it.
Harroui on, Lazovic off.
Verona try to respond, but the Tchatchoua cross goes past everyone.
Yildiz runs onto a through ball down the left and goes for goal, straight at the keeper.
It's a second goal of the night for Dušan Vlahović 💪 pic.twitter.com/ZHR7qulnud

Livramento, Mosquera and Magnani off, Frese, Alidou and Tengtstedt on.
Tchatchoua was booked for that penalty and Duda also gets a yellow card.
He waited for Montipo’ to pick a side and then sent the ball the other way.
I can’t believe it. My team after not very good start still in first place in table. Others started even worse than us. Sure before last match. Would be hilarious if hosts wins or draw.
