Spezia vs. Venezia (Saturday, 2.00pm)
Both battling for their Serie A survival with time running out, Spezia and Venezia meet on Saturday afternoon at Stadio Alberto Picco.
While the hosts have taken just three points from their last six games, their visitors have lost four on the spin to slump to second-bottom in the standings.
We say: Spezia 2-1 Venezia
Spezia have picked up 22 of their 29 league points against teams in the bottom half of the table, and that share (76%) represents the highest throughout Serie A this season.
Also considering Venezia's travails in front of goal - they have not scored in over 200 minutes - the home side should be favoured to edge this one at the Picco.

Lazio vs. Sassuolo (Saturday, 5.00pm)
As their pursuit of a European place continues, Lazio return from the international break to host in-form Sassuolo on Saturday evening.
The teams meet at Stadio Olimpico separated by six points and two spots in the standings, with the seventh-placed hosts hoping to not only extend that advantage with a win, but also stay on the coat-tails of arch-rivals Roma.
We say: Lazio 2-2 Sassuolo
Meetings between these clubs rarely pass without plenty of penalty-box incident, and though Lazio have tightened up in recent times, they remain susceptible to being hit on the break.
An average of 3.4 goals during their previous 17 encounters with Sassuolo suggests a score draw may be the likeliest outcome on Saturday.

Salernitana vs. Torino (Saturday, 7.45pm)
Without a win between them in seventeen Serie A matches combined, Salernitana and Torino convene at Stadio Arechi on Saturday night, hoping to enjoy better fortunes following a fortnight's break.
The two Granata-clad clubs meet in Campania with the hosts rock bottom and bound for relegation, while their visitors are mired in mid-table mediocrity following a recent downturn.
We say: Salernitana 0-1 Torino
If not now, then when? Torino must take advantage of this opportunity to bring a halt to their worrying decline, and they have sufficient tools at their disposal to edge past a desperate Salernitana side.
While a similar margin of victory to their four-goal success in the reverse fixture is unlikely, the visitors tend to give little away at the back and may only need to score once.
