Hellas Verona vs. Salernitana (Monday, 5.30pm)
Two sides struggling at the wrong end of the Serie A standings meet at Stadio Bentegodi on Monday, as Hellas Verona host Salernitana.
While Hellas have lost just once since the winter break to revive hopes of survival, their visitors from down south are slipping closer to the drop zone week by week amid an awful spell of form.
We say: Hellas Verona 1-0 Salernitana
Verona have scored 74% of their goals in the first half - the highest proportion in Serie A this season - while Salernitana have conceded 23 times before the break, which is four more than any other side.
Should the hosts take the lead again, their newfound resolve should see them over the line - bringing the prospect of safety one small step closer.

Sampdoria vs. Inter Milan (Monday, 7.45pm)
Now Napoli's nearest challengers in the Serie A standings, Inter Milan aim to take a greater grip on second spot in their latest league outing, as they tackle struggling Sampdoria on Monday.
The teams meet at Marassi with Inter having won their second Milan derby in short succession, while Samp suffered a heartbreaking twist in stoppage time to squander two precious points against Monza.
We say: Sampdoria 1-3 Inter Milan
Inter are one of three teams to have drawn the fewest matches throughout Europe's top five leagues this season, alongside Bundesliga pair Borussia Dortmund and Bochum (both only one). Indeed, the Nerazzurri have tied only one of their last 30 in Serie A, so - with several key men back in the fold - they will go for the jugular in Genoa and consign Samp to another defeat.
