Lecce vs. Como (Saturday, 2.00pm)

Scrapping for their Serie A survival, Lecce will welcome mid-table Como to Stadio Via del Mare on Saturday.
Just two points clear of the drop zone with six games to play, the Salentini need to end a nine-match winless run this weekend, while their visitors have all but confirmed a second straight season in the top flight.
We say: Lecce 1-0 Como
Although Como beat rock-bottom Monza in their most recent away game, they generally struggle to produce their best stuff outside Stadio Sinigaglia.
As the Lariani also have little left to play for, low-scoring Lecce can capitalise and snatch three precious points.

Monza vs. Napoli (Saturday, 5.00pm)

Still hunting a second Scudetto in the space of three seasons, Serie A's second-placed side Napoli visit rock-bottom Monza on Saturday.
While their hosts are surely bound for the drop, Antonio Conte's men kept title dreams alive with Monday's win over Empoli, leaving them just three points adrift of Inter Milan.
We say: Monza 0-3 Napoli
Napoli should win without much fuss, pulling level on points with Inter as they beat one of Serie A's strugglers for the second time in five days.
Lacking confidence and missing key men, Monza are ill-equipped to stop the Partenopei's rejuvenated attack.

Roma vs. Hellas Verona (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Still vying for European qualification, resurgent Roma aim to continue their Serie A unbeaten streak when they host Hellas Verona on Saturday.
While the Giallorossi have gone 16 league games without defeat following last week's derby draw, Verona's own late-season form is edging them closer to survival.
We say: Roma 2-0 Hellas Verona
Verona's first task will be surviving the first half: they have conceded the most Serie A goals both in the opening 15 minutes (10) and the first half-hour (25); shipping a league-high 61% of their goals before the break.
Though the Gialloblu have certainly tightened up in recent weeks, Roma can still get in front and cruise to a controlled home win.
