Antonio Conte and Napoli are in the midst of shaky run of form in the title race

- Atalanta haven’t lost a Serie A away game since August
- Juventus have drawn a league-high 13 games this season
- Napoli are winless in five fixtures

The two frontrunners in the Serie A title race, Napoli and Inter Milan, shared the spoils in Naples last weekend and kept the fight for top spot on a knife edge, with just six points separating the top four and three between the top three.

Cagliari vs Genoa (Friday, 7:45pm)

Relegation-threatened Cagliari have beaten Lecce and Parma here in recent months and may be a threat to Genoa, who are winless in five away games.

Score prediction: Cagliari 2-1 Genoa

Como vs Venezia (Saturday, 2pm)

A ten-match winless run leaves Venezia five points from safety in Serie A and they may struggle to make an impact after failing to score in four successive games. Como have won two of their last three, scoring twice in each of those victories.

Score prediction: Como 2-0 Venezia

Parma vs Torino (Saturday, 2:00pm)

Parma’s home record is keeping them safe from the drop zone for the time being, with the struggling hosts losing just two of their last five here. Torino have drawn three of their last five on the road, including two 1-1 stalemates.

Score prediction: Parma 1-1- Torino

Lecce vs AC Milan (Saturday, 5:00pm)

AC Milan have lost their last three games 2-1 but they should break their duck against a Lecce side that have failed to score in their last four home games, including a 1-0 defeat last time out.

Score prediction: Lecce 0-1 AC Milan

Inter Milan vs Monza (Saturday, 7:45pm)

Inter Milan won the first leg of their Champions League tie in midweek 2-0 and have won by this scoreline in two of their last three games, while Monza are rooted to the bottom of Serie A, losing their last six on the road and conceding twice or more in each of them.

Score prediction: Inter Milan 2-0 Monza

Verona vs Bologna (Sunday, 11:30am)

Bologna have won three of their last four games and their last two have ended 2-1, so they can beat a Verona side that have lost five of their last seven at home.

Score prediction: Verona 1-2 Bologna

Napoli vs Fiorentina (Sunday, 2pm)

Napoli’s Serie A title challenge has taken a hit with just four points from their last five games, and a fourth 1-1 draw in six games could be on the cards against Fiorentina, who have only lost three of their last eight.

Score prediction: Napoli 1-1 Fiorentina

Empoli vs Roma (Sunday 5:00pm)

Roma are resurgent since Claudio Ranieri took charge in the capital

Roma have hit a purple patch in recent months, putting together six wins and a draw from their last seven competitive games. They have won their last two 2-1, and Empoli are winless in 12 league games.

Score prediction: Empoli 1-2 Roma

Juventus vs Atalanta (Sunday, 7:45pm)

Juventus could go level on points with Atalanta with a win on Sunday but they may have to settle for a draw against a side unbeaten away from home since August in Serie A. La Dea have drawn two of their last three 0-0, and Juventus’ last three league games have averaged just 1.33 goals per game.

Score prediction: Juventus 1-1 Atalanta

Lazio vs Udinese (Monday, 7:45pm)

Lazio aren’t out of the Serie A title race yet, but they may drop points against a Udinese side that have taken 13 points from the last 15 available. Lazio have drawn three of their last six home league games, two of which ended 1-1.

Score prediction: Lazio 1-1 Udinese
