Atalanta vs. Lazio (Saturday, 2.00pm)
Separated by just one point and one place in the Serie A standings, Atalanta BC and Lazio meet on Saturday afternoon at the Gewiss Stadium.
Both winners in midweek, the entertaining pair have been plagued by inconsistency, which sees them adrift of the top four ahead of the weekend's action.
We say: Atalanta BC 2-2 Lazio
Though Atalanta have actually tightened up at the back so far this term - at least statistically - both they and Lazio are susceptible to counter-attacks and will find themselves caught out on occasions.
If both forward lines are at their rapier-like best, then it may end up a high-scoring draw, keeping the clubs sat alongside one another in the Serie A standings.

Hellas Verona vs. Juventus (Saturday, 5.00pm)
After a run of six straight wins came grinding to a halt during the past week, Juventus look to start another streak on Saturday, when they visit Hellas Verona.
Though a controversial late equaliser helped the Bianconeri avoid defeat in the Derby d'Italia, they were sunk by Sassuolo in midweek, while their hosts picked up another point on Wednesday to inch inside the top half of the table.
We say: Hellas Verona 1-2 Juventus
Juventus can get back to winning ways in Verona, as any complacency from their previous winning run should have been wiped out by the chastening nature of Wednesday's defeat.
To get past streaky opponents, though, their high-profile attacking talent will have to up their game. The Gialloblu have conceded an average of nearly two goals per home game so far, so they certainly have some defensive weaknesses which can be exploited.

Torino vs. Sampdoria (Saturday, 7.45pm)
As both sides have won just one of their last six matches, Torino and Sampdoria convene on Saturday evening with a precious three points at stake in Turin.
Separated by just two points in the standings, the 13th-placed hosts welcome struggling Samp to Stadio Olimpico di Torino seeking a valuable win, just days after defeat to Milan - their third in as many matches against the big guns of Serie A.
We say: Torino 1-0 Sampdoria
Torino can turn the tables by registering a 1-0 win of their own, having lost by that scoreline three times of late. They look a far more disciplined outfit under Ivan Juric, while Samp are often reckless at the back and are almost nailed-on to concede.
Therefore, the Granata can eke out three valuable points in the first of a series of three eminently winnable matches.
