SATURDAY:
INTER vs ATALANTA
Inter top the table with 67 points from 28 matches and have been the standout team in Serie A this season. They suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to AC Milan in their latest outing but had previously produced an excellent run of victories, including a 2-0 successes over Genoa as well as Lecce and a dominant 5-0 triumph against Sassuolo.
Over the course of the campaign Inter have registered 64 goals while permitting just 22 at the back, underlining their balance between attack and defence.
Atalanta sit 7th with 46 points and remain in contention for European places. They come into this clash following a 2-2 draw against Udinese but had earlier suffered a 2-1 defeat to Sassuolo after recording impressive 2-1 and 2-0 wins over Napoli and Lazio.
Across the season Atalanta have produced 39 goals while allowing 26 past their defensive line. They are capable of causing problems going forward but often find life difficult when facing the top sides away from home.
Head-to-Head
The reverse fixture earlier this season saw Inter secure a 1-0 away victory, while last campaign included convincing wins of 4-0 and 2-0.

Inter 1.56
Draw 4.50
Atalanta 5.75
Verdict
Inter have controlled this fixture in recent seasons and their overall depth should again be the difference. Atalanta may threaten going forward but the league leaders possess far greater consistency and firepower and I am backing them to win a game with 3 goals or more in it.

NAPOLI vs LECCE
Napoli currently occupy 3rd position on the leaderboard with 56 points and continue to chase the teams above them in the standings. They arrive in good spirits after recording a 2-1 victory over Torino and a 2-1 win away to Verona in their previous two matches.
Across the season Napoli have accumulated 43 goals while seeing 29 slip past their backline. Their attacking approach regularly creates chances, and they have shown a strong ability to break down lower-ranked opponents.
Lecce sit 16th on the table with 27 points and remain involved in the battle to avoid relegation. They head into this fixture after defeating Cremonese 2-1 but had earlier been beaten 3-1 by Como and 2-0 by Inter.
Lecce have managed 20 goals this campaign while allowing 37 in at the opposite end, highlighting the struggles they have experienced, and instability amongst their squad.
Head-to-Head
Napoli have enjoyed significant success in this matchup, winning four of the last five meetings between the sides. The reverse fixture earlier this season finished 1-0 in their favour.

Napoli 1.38
Draw 4.75
Lecce 9.50
Verdict
Napoli possess far greater quality throughout the team and should be able to dictate the tempo of this match. Lecce have shown occasional glimpses of form, but they often struggle against teams competing near the top of the standings. With their last three meetings ending in 1-0 wins for Napoli, I think this match will follow a similar route.

SUNDAY:
LAZIO vs AC MILAN
Lazio are in 10th spot on the log on 37 points and have struggled to build any notable momentum throughout the campaign. Their most recent result featured a 2-1 victory over Sassuolo, but they had previously suffered a 2-0 defeat to Torino and a 2-0 loss against Atalanta.
Across the season Lazio have scored 28 goals while allowing the same number, reflecting their mixed performances at both ends of the pitch.
AC Milan sit 2nd in the rankings with 60 points and remain the closest challengers to Inter in the title race. They arrive full of confidence after securing a 1-0 triumph over Inter in their derby last weekend, which followed a comfortable 2-0 away win against Cremonese.
Milan have built a tally of 44 goals this season while allowing just 20 to get past their keeper, demonstrating the solid structure that has kept them in the title picture.
Head-to-Head
Milan won the reverse league fixture 1-0 earlier this season, although Lazio claimed a 1-0 victory when the teams met in the Coppa Italia in December.

Lazio 3.85
Draw 3.40
AC Milan 2.05
Verdict
This should be a competitive encounter with Lazio capable of making things difficult at home. Despite that, Milan’s defensive organisation and momentum could give them the edge in what may prove to be a tight contest and I am keeping this simple with a straight win play.
BET: AC Milan to Win at 2.05
