Saturday's Serie A predictions including Lazio vs. Sampdoria

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


Torino vs. Napoli (Saturday, 2.00pm)

While their Scudetto challenge is effectively over, Napoli will seek to secure their grip on third place when they visit mid-table Torino on Saturday.

Following a thrashing of Sassuolo last week, the Partenopei are still one point ahead of old foes Juventus in the Serie A standings, while their hosts have remained unbeaten in six games to inch inside the top half.

We say: Torino 1-2 Napoli


With the pressure off, Napoli appeared to revert to type last week, with players previously faltering under the huge weight of expectation seemingly at ease - particularly in the final third.

Torino are generally defensively sound, though, so expect a tightly-contested encounter in Turin, which the visitors should edge due to their greater individual quality in the creative department.

Data Analysis

Our analysis of all available data, including recent performances and player stats, suggests the most likely outcome of this match is a Napoli win with a probability of 48.73%. A win for Torino has a probability of 26.14% and a draw has a probability of 25.1%.

Sassuolo vs. Udinese (Saturday, 5.00pm)

Separated by one place and three points in the Serie A standings, mid-table pair Sassuolo and Udinese meet at the Mapei Stadium on Saturday.

Having both been beaten by top-three clubs last week, the visitors will attempt to pull level with their hosts by taking the points home to Udine.

We say: Sassuolo 2-1 Udinese


Even though they have stumbled through the last few weeks, Sassuolo are still dangerous opponents on their day, and with Scamacca, Berardi and company wanting to impress potential suitors, they can lift their game against Udinese.

With an Emilian derby at Bologna to be followed by Milan's visit on the final day, this may be the Neroverdi's best remaining chance to take maximum points, and an entertaining spectacle could ensue against improving opposition.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Lazio vs. Sampdoria (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Having both enjoyed important wins last weekend, top-six contenders Lazio and struggling Sampdoria seek another three points at Stadio Olimpico on Saturday.

While the hosts fought back from behind to secure victory in a seven-goal thriller at Spezia, Samp seized Derby della Lanterna glory to keep the bottom three at arm's length.

We say: Lazio 3-1 Sampdoria


Riding the momentum from last week's fightback, Lazio also have the greater need for victory in this encounter and will go in all guns blazing on Saturday night.

Samp's season has been underwhelming, to say the least, and as they do not travel particularly well either, an 11th away loss of the campaign should be expected.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.
