Ticket have been selling like hot cakes for Cesena v Milan on Saturday night as the host's entertain their first home game in Italy's top division since 1991. The compact but passionate Dino Manuzzi arena will see the return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the Serie A debut of Robinho as coach Allegri looks to accommodate all this attacking talent into the side. Before this however Inter entertain Udinese, a game that has been difficult for the European Champions in recent seasons. Wesley Sneijder poached a late winner last year, with a 0-0 draw being the result in the 2008/2009 season. Still, anything but a win would put Rafa Benitez under immediate pressure. The same pressure will already be on Juventus coach Luigi Del Neri, but a tough home match awaits them with Sampdoria arriving in town and his former players will be looking to prove a point. For Juve they will have to play much better than they did against Bari else it will be another frustrating afternoon for the Turin faithful.
Elsewhere Roma travel to Cagliari, where they blew to 2-0 lead in injury time last season, while city rivals Lazio host Bologna but it could be a quiet one in the Olimpico with a large portion of fans boycotting the new season ticket structure. Palermo travel to Brescia in what should be an entertaining game, while Europa League rivals Napoli host Bari in the evening match on Sunday night where Edison Cavani will look to add to his goal total this season.
Genoa, with an away win under their belt, host Chievo on Sunday afternoon where a no doubt packed Marassi will look to inspire their side towards maintaining their 100% record. Parma were also winners in week one but have a difficult trip to Catania to make. The home side were reborn in last seasons second half through the goals of Maxi Lopez. Always a tough proposition in Sicily Catania are sure to take some scalps there this season. Finally, much like Parma Fiorentina will make another very long trip down to Lecce. They are still without Adrian Mutu and Stefan Jovetic and it will be interesting to see if Lecce can take advantage of this. They will need to make the Via Del Mare a fortress if they are to hang onto their Serie A status.
