Venezia vs. Roma (Sunday, 11.30am)

Still trailing behind in the race for European places, Roma will aim to continue their Serie A revival when visiting Venezia on Sunday.
The clubs clash at Stadio Penzo, with the Giallorossi having inched up the league table before suffering a midweek cup defeat; meanwhile, their hosts are deep in danger.
We say: Venezia 1-2 Roma
Although Venezia are becoming tougher to beat on home turf - and Roma have a woeful record on the road - the visitors should still prevail in Serie A's Sunday lunchtime kickoff.
The Giallorossi have found their shooting boots under Claudio Ranieri, so their hosts' leaky defence cannot hold out for 90 minutes.

Split by just one point, either side of the Serie A drop zone, relegation rivals Cagliari and Parma will meet for a crucial clash on Sunday.
Both have lost their last two matches, leaving them mired in danger at the wrong end of Italy's top flight.
We say: Cagliari 3-2 Parma
Neither side specialise in defending, so fans could be treated to another five-goal thriller, mirroring September's meeting in Parma.
Cagliari can edge it, as their visitors have shown a certain mental frailty and often throw precious points away.

Lazio vs. Monza (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Aiming to reclaim their top-four spot in Serie A, Lazio will welcome rock-bottom Monza to Stadio Olimpico on Sunday.
Having bounced back from successive defeats by winning earlier this week, the Biancocelesti expect to collect three more points against opponents that seem bound for Serie B.
We say: Lazio 3-0 Monza
Lazio can end a rare Stadio Olimpico slump with victory this weekend, when their opponents will turn up more in hope than expectation.
Beset by injuries and having lost important players in the transfer window, modest Monza are unlikely to trouble a team with top-four ambitions.

Fresh off ending a two-match losing run in Serie A, Lecce aim for consecutive top-flight victories in Sunday's gameweek 24 contest against in-form Bologna at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare.
Vincenzo Italiano's troops are one of the form teams in the top tier, avoiding defeat for five league encounters and eight overall, and they now look to extend their unbeaten 2025 run at the expense of Marco Giampaolo's men, who are not out of the relegation conversation.
We say: Lecce 1-1 Bologna
Possibly without Orsolini and Odgaard, both of whom have contributed to 11 league goals, Bologna could struggle for decisive execution in the attacking third at Lecce.
Although we expect the Rossoblu to avoid defeat against Lupi, the teams could share the spoils in gameweek 24.

Napoli vs. Udinese (Sunday, 7.45pm)

After their closest title rivals slipped up in midweek, Napoli will aim to move six points clear at the top of Serie A when they meet Udinese on Sunday.
The league leaders were denied an eighth straight win by a late leveller last week, but they can still pull away from the pack with victory at Stadio Maradona.
We say: Napoli 1-0 Udinese
Aside from a couple of setbacks, Napoli have been ruthlessly efficient on home turf, conceding only seven league goals at the Maradona this season.
They increase their Serie A lead by posting another clean sheet against Udinese, who are bound for mid-table mediocrity - which would be a relief after last year's close shave.
