- Third plays first with Atalanta taking on leaders Inter Milan
- Roma are searching for a sixth straight league win
- Lecce have failed to score in 15 of their 28 matches (54 per cent)

Top spot is on the line as Atalanta play Inter Milan in the final game of the weekend Serie A card and that is the highlight of 10 matches across three days and we have a score prediction for each of those games.

With that clash taking centre stage, Napoli will expect to hope no mistake when they travel to lowly Venezia.

Genoa vs Lecce (Friday, 7.45pm)

Lecce had failed to score in four straight games before scoring twice last week at home to AC Milan and even that did them no good as they lost 3-2.

These are two of the bottom three sides in the over/unders table, so do not expect a classic. Lecce are the lowest away scorers in Serie A, so take Genoa to nick it.

Score prediction: Genoa 1-0 Lecce

Monza vs Parma (Saturday, 2.00pm)

Bottom club Monza have to be buoyed by last week's effort, going 2-0 ahead against Inter Milan only to lose 3-2.

These are two poor sides who cannot keep a clean sheet between them so an entertaining score draw is on the cards.

Score prediction: Monza 2-2 Parma

Udinese vs Verona (Saturday, 2.00pm)

Udinese are on a fantastic run of form with just two defeats since Christmas and they can overpower Verona.

Hellas, missing suspended defender Nicolas Valentini, have only scored four goals since Christmas and Florian Thauvin, with three in his last four, will be licking his lips.

Score prediction: Udinese 2-0 Verona

AC Milan vs Como (Saturday, 5.00pm)

AC Milan's Champions League exit at the hands of Feyenoord seems to have taken its toll, with the Rossoneri losing three in a row before last week's fortunate 3-2 win at Lecce.

Como were good enough to beat Napoli three weeks ago and are good enough to trouble all the top teams – they have also beaten Atalanta and Roma this season. They can make Sergio Conceicao's men work for their win.

Score prediction: AC Milan 2-1 Como

Torino vs Empoli (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Torino beat AC Milan on their last outing in Turin and, despite their lowly position in the table, they should be too good for Empoli.

Empoli may be Coppa Italia semi-finalists, but they cannot translate that form to the league, where they have not won in 13.

Score prediction: Torino 1-0 Empoli

Venezia vs Napoli (Sunday, 11.30am)

Venezia are without a win in 11, but have drawn eight of their last 14, so are not easily brushed aside. This could be a test for Napoli, who are themselves on an indifferent run.

Score prediction: Venezia 1-1 Napoli

Bologna vs Lazio (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Sixth meets fifth as Lazio seek to find the net in Bologna for the first time in five visits. The hosts have won six in a row at the Renato Dall'ara and can make it seven on Sunday.

Score prediction: Bologna 3-1 Lazio

Roma vs Cagliari (Sunday, 3.00pm)

Roma's loss at Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League on Thursday ended a six-game winning streak, but Claudio Ranieri's side can get back on the victory bike at home to Cagliari.

Score prediction: Roma 2-0 Cagliari

Fiorentina vs Juventus (Sunday 5.00pm)

These bitter rivals meet in Florence with Juventus in a slump following exits from the Champions League and Coppa Italia and last week's 4-0 home drubbing by Atalanta.

Take Fiorentina to pour more fuel on the fire.

Score prediction: Fiorentina 2-1 Juventus

Atalanta vs Inter Milan (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Atalanta's 4-0 win at Juventus last weekend sent shockwaves around Italy, which were definitely heard in Milan.

The hosts have had a week off while Inter were seeing off Feyenoord in the Champions League and that will help them prepare for this top-of-the-table classic.

Serie A's two top scorers will not disappoint, though history favours Inter, who have won seven in a row against their new title rivals.

Score prediction: Atalanta 2-2 Inter Milan
