Serie A Predictions - Week 15

- Fiorentina have won their last seven Serie A games
- Atalanta have won 11 of their last 12 matches
- Juventus have drawn eight of their 14 league games

The Serie A title race is turning into an enthralling contest, with Napoli setting the pace after 14 games, yet only six points separate them from sixth-placed Juventus.

Atalanta are only one point behind Napoli in second, while reigning champions Inter Milan are four points behind, but they do have an all-important game in hand.

Fiorentina and Lazio sit fourth and fifth respectively, level on 28 points with Inter, while seventh-placed AC Milan will also believe they can figure despite being ten points off the pace.

Aaron Ashley has correct score picks for all 10 Serie A fixtures taking place this weekend.

Inter Milan vs Parma (Friday, 5.30pm)

Inter are beginning to rise to the challenge of chasing down Napoli and they go into this contest having won six and drawn two of their last eight league matches.

They can punish Parma, but the visitors have failed to score only twice in 14 outings and may net a consolation.

Score prediction: Inter Milan 3-1 Parma

Atalanta vs AC Milan (Friday, 7.45pm)

Atalanta have won 11 of their last 12 matches in all competitions, winning eight in a row in Serie A, and they can edge past AC Milan at their beloved Bergamo base.

The Rossoneri are steadily improving and, with Atalanta conceding in five of their six home outings, may get on the scoresheet.

Score prediction: Atalanta 2-1 AC Milan

Genoa vs Torino (Saturday, 2pm)

After a decent start, Torino are in freefall and seven of their last nine league matches have resulted in defeats.

Another loss may follow at the hands of Genoa, who are unbeaten in four and who were impressive 2-0 winners at Udinese last weekend.

Score prediction: Genoa 2-0 Torino

Juventus vs Bologna (Saturday, 5pm)

Juventus are the only unbeaten side in Serie A after 14 games, but they are struggling to turn draws into wins, having shared the spoils on eight occasions already.

They may have to settle for another point with Bologna having tasted only one league defeat in 11.

Score prediction: Juventus 1-1 Bologna

Roma vs Lecce (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Roma have lost six of their last seven in Serie A, but Claudio Ranieri’s re-appointment should at some point click them into gear. They can stop the rot against Lecce, who have lost four of their last five away league trips to nil.

Score prediction: Roma 2-0 Lecce

Fiorentina vs Cagliari (Sunday, 11.30pm)

High-flying Fiorentina should be able to make it eight league wins in a row at the expense of Cagliari, who have won only one of their six away trips. That said, La Viola have conceded in five successive home league matches.

Score prediction: Fiorentina 3-1 Cagliari

Verona vs Empoli (Sunday, 2pm)

Nine defeats in 11 league games has left Verona on the brink of the relegation places and they may struggle to bounce back against Empoli, who have drawn seven of their opening 14 matches.

Score prediction: Verona 1-1 Empoli

Venezia vs Como (Sunday, 5pm)

Rock-bottom Venezia host third from bottom Como in a relegation dust-up and it could be a cagey contest where goals are in short supply. With Como winless in eight, home advantage may prove the difference.

Score prediction: Venezia 1-0 Como

Napoli vs Lazio (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Leaders Napoli have won 10 of their opening 14 games, prevailing in six of their seven home fixtures and they can stay at the summit with victory over Lazio.

The visitors are going well themselves, but they have lost on four of their seven road trips.

Score prediction: Napoli 2-0 Lazio

Monza vs Udinese (Monday, 7.45pm)

Two sides going through a tough time meet in Monza on Monday and they may have to settle for a point apiece.

Udinese have picked up only one point in five, but in Monza they face a team winless in six, although three of those outings ended level.

Score prediction: Monza 1-1 Udinese
