&w=707&quality=100)
- Inter Milan and Napoli are level on points at the top of the table
- Bologna are in fourth but only a point better off than Juventus and Lazio
- Lecce are in 17th but only one point clear of Venezia and Empoli
This week's Serie A fixtures are spread across Sunday and Monday and there is plenty still to play for throughout the division.
Bologna maintained their hold of fourth spot with a slender victory over leaders Inter Milan, a result that allowed Napoli to draw level at the top following a narrow win of their own.
Juventus, Lazio, Roma and Fiorentina remain in the hunt for the European places, although time is running out for AC Milan.
At the other end of the table, while Monza look doomed, Empoli, Venezia and Lecce are locked in a battle to beat the drop, with Parma and Verona not yet safe.
Como vs Genoa (Sunday, 11.30am)
&w=707&quality=100)
Como have strung together three successive wins in Serie A, beating Monza, Torino and Lecce, and they can make home advantage count with another victory over fellow mid-table club Genoa.
Score prediction: Como 2-1 Genoa
Venezia vs AC Milan (Sunday, 11.30am)
Venezia are engaged in an intense relegation battle in Serie A and, having found the net in their last three matches, they could net against AC Milan.
But the visitors are fresh from a huge Coppa Italia win over rivals Inter and should get over the line.
Score prediction: Venezia 1-3 AC Milan
Fiorentina vs Empoli (Sunday, 2pm)
Empoli's Coppa Italia dream was ended by Bologna on Thursday and they must now turn their attention to the relegation dogfight in Serie A.
They are still in with a chance of surviving and can nick a point off Fiorentina, who have won just one of their last three league games.
Score prediction: Fiorentina 1-1 Empoli
Inter Milan vs Roma (Sunday, 2pm)
Roma have enjoyed a terrific turnaround under Claudio Ranieri this season and they can send out a statement with victory away to Inter Milan.
Roma have won eight and drawn two of their last 10 games, while Inter will be licking their wounds after their 3-0 defeat to AC Milan in the Coppa Italia
Score prediction: Inter Milan 0-1 Roma
Juventus vs Monza (Sunday, 5pm)
Juventus slipped up in a 1-0 loss to Parma on Wednesday but they have the perfect opportunity to get back on track at home to basement boys Monza.
The struggling visitors have scored just 25 times in 33 league matches this term and could be shut out in defeat.
Score prediction: Juventus 3-0 Monza
Atalanta vs Lecce (Sunday, 7.45pm)
Since the start of February, Lecce have drawn blanks against Bologna, Monza, Udinese, Fiorentina, Roma and Como and they could also fail to score against Atalanta, who can win this comfortably.
Score prediction: Atalanta 4-0 Lecce
Napoli vs Torino (Sunday, 7.45pm)
&w=707&quality=100)
Napoli have hit a great run of form in the Serie A title race, winning four of their last six matches, prevailing in back-to-back games against Empoli and Monza without conceding.
They should be too strong for Torino.
Score prediction: Napoli 2-0 Torino
Udinese vs Bologna (Monday, 5.30pm)
It has been a tough few weeks for Udinese, who have lost five successive Serie A fixtures, failing to score in four of them.
They could be up against it when they host Bologna, who will be in high spirits after making the Coppa Italia final on the back of downing leaders Inter in the league.
Score prediction: Udinese 0-1 Bologna
Verona vs Cagliari (Monday, 7.45pm)
Goals have been in short supply in recent matches involving Verona, who have seen just four goals at either end in their last five matches.
They have been involved in two 0-0 draws within their last four games and a repeat could be on the cards against Cagliari.
Score prediction: Verona 0-0 Cagliari
Lazio vs Parma (Monday, 7.45pm)
Following their Europa League exit against Bodo/Glimt, Lazio's sole focus will be on making the top four in Serie A and they can boost their chances with a win over Parma.
The visitors edged Juventus 1-0 in their last game but that was their only win in their last seven assignments.
Score prediction: Lazio 2-0 Parma
