Empoli vs. Napoli (Saturday, 5.00pm)

Soon to relinquish their status as Serie A champions, Napoli visit struggling Empoli on Saturday evening, simply trying to stay in contention for a European place next season.
While the Scudetto holders were held by lowly Frosinone last weekend, a painful loss in Lecce leaves their hosts in serious danger of relegation.
We say: Empoli 1-2 Napoli
Though not as accurate as they would like, Napoli have attempted the most shots in Serie A this season; by contrast, Empoli have faced the second-most. That should indicate the likely direction of play at Stadio Castellani, but it may still be only one goal that splits these sides by the final whistle.

Two teams scrapping for Serie A survival meet at Stadio Bentegodi on Saturday evening, as Hellas Verona host fellow strugglers Udinese.
While Hellas fought back to earn a precious point earlier this week, Udinese's most recent match was abandoned, leaving them with one game in hand on their relegation rivals.
We say: Hellas Verona 1-1 Udinese
As Verona have picked up points consistently since the start of March, they can frustrate their visitors, who let leads slip with alarming frequency; Udinese have dropped 22 points from winning positions this season and also let Roma back into last week's abandoned game in Udine.
