Fiorentina vs. Bologna (Sunday, 11.30am)
Fiorentina head into Sunday's Serie A fixture with Bologna looking for the victory which will keep them in the hunt for European qualification.
I Viola currently sit in eighth position in the standings, albeit with a game in hand, while Bologna are in 12th spot having put together a three-match unbeaten run.
We say: Fiorentina 2-1 Bologna
Despite 10 points separating the two clubs in the table, this has all the makings of a hard-fought contest. However, while we expect Bologna to continue their recent improvements, Fiorentina represent a step up in class, leading us to predict a narrow win for the home side.

Hellas Verona vs. Napoli (Sunday, 2.00pm)
Having been thwarted in their attempt to re-take the Serie A summit, faltering Napoli visit Hellas Verona at Stadio Bentegodi on Sunday, needing a win to boost their Scudetto hopes.
Just one win in their last six all told leaves the Partenopei out of both Europe and the Coppa Italia, and trailing in the title race, while Verona have continued to impress - going unbeaten in four games since the start of February.
We say: Hellas Verona 2-2 Napoli
The last Serie A draw between Hellas Verona and Napoli at the Bentegodi was back in 1988, but that may well be the result this time around, as the hosts tend to excel on home soil and their visitors are resilient on the road.
It could be an entertaining encounter, too, with Napoli forced to push for a win and their opponents well capable of striking on the counter.

Atalanta vs. Genoa (Sunday, 5.00pm)
In danger of dropping off the pace in the race for a top four finish, Atalanta BC will seek just a second Serie A win in nine matches when they host Genoa on Sunday.
La Dea welcome the league's draw specialists to Bergamo sitting six points off fourth spot but with a game still in hand, so victory is essential with games starting to run out.
We say: Atalanta BC 2-0 Genoa
Further limited by absences this week, Genoa only score at a rate of less than a goal per game, so make ideal opponents for an Atalanta side trying to regain their ebbing confidence.
Not only should La Dea end their visitors' streak of successive draws, they will also prolong the Grifone's winless run still further - in the process, keeping themselves in touch with the top four.

Udinese vs. Roma (Sunday, 5.00pm)
Back in the top four race after an upturn in form, Roma travel north to Udinese on Sunday, seeking a fourth successive win in all competitions.
Back-to-back Serie A successes have drawn the Giallorossi level on points with fifth-placed Atalanta, who they beat last weekend, and they will be keen to maintain that momentum by bettering their mid-table hosts.
We say: Udinese 1-2 Roma
Both the weight of recent history and Roma's revival is against the home side on Sunday, as they attempt to pull further clear of the drop zone.
Even if Udinese do manage to take the lead, their visitors are among the best teams at fighting back late on, and in the process of taking all three points the Giallorossi can extend their unbeaten streak to a seventh Serie A game.

Torino vs. Inter Milan (Sunday, 7.45pm)
Having lost top spot in Serie A and exited the Champions League, Inter Milan will aim to revive their title aspirations when they meet Torino on Sunday.
Despite successive wins, the Nerazzurri are out of Europe and have a deficit to make up in the league, so will hope to take advantage of their hosts' faltering form.
We say: Torino 0-1 Inter Milan
While Inter have gained the most points from losing positions in Serie A this season, Torino (with just four) have accrued the fewest. So if the home side fall behind, an overdue win becomes even more improbable.
Even if they are not yet back to the free-flowing football of earlier this year, the champions should have enough guile to break down their hosts - keeping them in touch with their fellow title contenders.
