Friday's Serie A predictions including Lecce vs. Napoli

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Serie A fixtures, including Lecce vs. Napoli.

Without a win in five games following their controversial cup tie in midweek, Inter Milan aim to halt their decline on Friday, when they visit Serie A strugglers Salernitana.

Inter's Coppa Italia semi-final clash with Juventus ended in chaos, just days after they had lost their third straight league game. Meanwhile, the Granata are unbeaten in five but have drawn each of their last four.

We say: Salernitana 1-1 Inter Milan


Lacking fluency in the final third, Inter may find their winless run prolonged down in Salerno, as their hosts have not lost since February and offer a goal threat themselves. Pressure is growing on Inzaghi - particularly with several high-profile coaches available in the summer - and he is starting to show the strain.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.

Lecce vs. Napoli (Friday, 6.00pm)

After a rare setback last weekend, Napoli aim to resume normal service on Friday, when they travel to Stadio Via del Mare for a meeting with lowly Lecce.

Thumped 4-0 by reigning champions Milan on Sunday, Serie A's Scudetto favourites lost just a third league game of the campaign. By contrast, their hosts were beaten for a 13th time - and fifth in a row - when they left Empoli empty-handed.

We say: Lecce 0-2 Napoli


Goal-shy Lecce are perhaps the ideal opponents for Napoli to face following their implosion last weekend. If they quickly return to keeping the back door shut, the league leaders should secure victory at Via del Mare, where their hosts have not won since January.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

AC Milan vs. Empoli (Friday, 8.00pm)

Fresh from their comprehensive victory over Serie A leaders Napoli, Scudetto holders AC Milan will look to consolidate their place in the top four when they welcome Empoli to San Siro on Friday.

The visitors, meanwhile, are seeking to claim successive top-flight victories for just the second time this season after picking up maximum points against Lecce last time out.

We say: AC Milan 2-0 Empoli


Both teams will be keen to build on their respective victories last time out, although AC Milan will be regarded as the favourites to come out on top in Friday's contest.

Empoli have already picked up three points at San Siro against Inter this term, but the Rossoneri should have few problems securing a routine win in front of their home supporters here.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
