SATURDAY:
JUVENTUS vs SASSUOLO
Juventus occupy 5th position with 53 points from 29 matches and remain firmly in the hunt for European qualification. They come into this fixture after edging Udinese 1-0 and dismantling Pisa 4-0, although they were held to a 3-3 draw by AS Roma prior to that.
Over the course of the campaign Juventus have produced 51 goals while allowing 28 at the back, highlighting a strong attacking output paired with a fairly reliable defence.
Sassuolo sit 10th with 38 points and have shown flashes of quality throughout the season. Despite that they head into this clash following back-to-back 1-0 and 2-1 defeats against Bologna and Lazio. Before that, they had put together a solid run with wins over Atalanta, Verona and Udinese.
Sassuolo have registered 35 goals this season while conceding 39, suggesting their matches often remain open and unpredictable.
Head-to-Head
The reverse fixture earlier this season saw Juventus secure a comfortable 3-0 away victory while the corresponding fixture last season ended with the same scoreline.

Juventus 1.33
Draw 5.50
Sassuolo 9.00
Verdict
Juventus have been consistent at home and generally control this matchup. Sassuolo can be dangerous going forward but often struggle to contain stronger opposition. I believe Juventus will get the job done in a high scoring fixture.

SUNDAY:
AS ROMA vs LECCE
AS Roma are 6th on the table with 51 points and continue to push for a European spot. They have endured a mixed run of results recently, losing 2-1 to Como and Genoa but did share a thrilling 3-3 draw with Juventus and recorded a convincing 3-0 win over Cremonese before that.
Across the season Roma have found the net 39 times while conceding 23, reflecting a fairly balanced setup with a solid defensive structure.
Lecce are positioned 17th with 27 points and sit just above the relegation battle. Their latest action saw them suffer a 2-1 loss to Napoli, but they had previously defeated Cremonese and Cagliari.
Lecce have managed just 21 goals this season while letting 39 pass their backline, underlining their struggles particularly in the second-half where they battle to stick with the tempo.
Head-to-Head
The reverse meeting earlier this season ended in a 2-0 victory in favour of Roma and they also won both ties last season with 4-1 and 1-0 results.

AS Roma 1.43
Draw 4.50
Lecce 8.00
Verdict
Roma should control proceedings with their superior quality and consistency. Lecce have shown resilience at times but often fall short against stronger sides away from home. I am backing Roma to win a tight and low scoring encounter.
BET: AS Roma to Win and Under 3.5 Goals at 2.00
FIORENTINA vs INTER
Fiorentina find themselves down in 16th place with 28 points and they have endured a tough season in terms of being unable to build any solid momentum. They arrive after an impressive 4-1 victory over Cremonese but had previously drawn with Parma and suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat to Udinese.
Fiorentina have scored 34 goals this season while conceding 43, indicating inconsistency on both attack and defence.
Inter Milan sit top of the log on 68 points and have been the dominant force in Serie A this campaign. Despite a recent dip that saw them draw 1-1 with Atalanta and lose 1-0 to AC Milan, they had previously recorded strong wins over Genoa and Lecce.
Inter have amassed 65 goals while allowing just 23 past their own keeper, showcasing their attacking strength alongside a well-organised defence.
Head-to-Head
The last meeting between the teams came in October where Inter claimed a 3-0 triumph at home. They also met twice last season and after the first clash was won 3-0 by Fiorentina, Inter bounced back with a 2-1 triumph on home soil.

Fiorentina 5.00
Draw 4.25
Inter 1.65
Verdict
Inter’s overall quality and potency should swing things in their favour over 90 minutes. Fiorentina will certainly not make things easy, particularly at home but the league leaders are likely to assert their authority and I am backing them to win with at least 2 goals scored to boost the price.
BET: Inter to Win and Over 1.5 Goals at 2.00
