Empoli vs. AC Milan (Sunday, 11.30am)
Having started 2024 with a win, AC Milan aim to continue their upturn in form on Sunday afternoon, when they visit Serie A strugglers Empoli at Stadio Carlo Castellani.
The Rossoneri secured their place in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals in midweek, and they now seek to stay on the coat-tails of Italy's top two.
We say: Empoli 0-2 AC Milan
Everything points to a Milan win at the Castellani, where they have never been beaten in Serie A. With Empoli consistently coming up short in the final third, the Rossoneri should stride to victory and keep within striking distance of both Inter and Juve.

Torino vs. Napoli (Sunday, 2.00pm)
Aiming to end their long goal drought and kick off 2024 with an overdue win, ailing Serie A champions Napoli visit mid-table Torino on Sunday afternoon.
The Partenopei last scored in mid-December and, like Toro, picked up just a point from their last two league games of 2023.
We say: Torino 1-0 Napoli
As Torino rarely concede on home soil and Napoli were unable to buy a goal over the festive period - and have since lost several key players - it will surely be a low-scoring encounter between the two clubs. One moment of magic - or even madness - could separate them at the final whistle.

Udinese vs. Lazio (Sunday, 2.00pm)
Udinese welcome Lazio to the Bluenergy Arena in a Serie A encounter on Sunday afternoon.
The hosts finally got their first long-awaited home win of the season last time out and now welcome another Champions League-chasing outfit to north-east Italy.
We say: Udinese 1-1 Lazio
Udinese's stubbornness at home could fare well for them in this tricky looking encounter against an in-form Lazio side.
However, the visitors are unbeaten here in over a decade and will bring great confidence into it after two wins to finish 2023, so coming away with a result is likely.

Salernitana vs. Juventus (Sunday, 5.00pm)
Three days after thrashing their southern counterparts in the Coppa Italia, Juventus conclude the first half of their Serie A campaign against Salernitana on Sunday.
Before travelling to Stadio Arechi, Juve have not only coasted into the cup quarter-finals but are also closing in on top spot in the table, as the Old Lady's renaissance continues.
We say: Salernitana 0-3 Juventus
Overwhelming favourites to secure back-to-back wins over their hosts, Juventus are bound to take maximum points back to Turin on Sunday. Max Allegri's men have the bit between their teeth, and having established themselves as serious Scudetto contenders, they can now end the first half of the season with a flourish.

Roma vs. Atalanta (Sunday, 7.45pm)
Separated by just one point in the Serie A standings, Roma and Atalanta BC are both trailing behind Italy's top four ahead of their Sunday night clash in the capital.
The teams convene at Stadio Olimpico having both progressed to the Coppa Italia quarter-finals in midweek, though it took a late escape for the Giallorossi to squeeze past Serie B opposition.
We say: Roma 1-1 Atalanta BC
They may not be thrilling to watch, but Roma can certainly grind out results on home turf. Atalanta have not travelled so well this term, but given their improved form, they can hold out for the point that would keep them above their hosts in the table.
