SATURDAY:
LAZIO vs PARMA
Lazio currently sit 8th on the table with 43 points from 30 matches and have been fairly consistent in recent weeks. They come into this fixture in strong form after defeating Bologna 2-0 away from home and edging AC Milan 1-0. Prior to that they secured a 2-1 victory over Sassuolo, although they did suffer a 2-0 defeat to Torino before that run.
Lazio have accumulated 31 goals this season while shipping 28 at the back, showing a fairly balanced setup with a solid defensive structure.
Parma are positioned 12th with 34 points and have struggled for momentum recently. They head into this clash after a 2-0 defeat against Cremonese and a heavy 4-1 loss away to Torino. Before that they played out draws with Fiorentina and Cagliari and did record an impressive 1-0 victory away to AC Milan.
Parma have produced just 21 goals this season while allowing 38 to slip past their defence, highlighting their difficulties going forward and defensive vulnerabilities.
Head-to-Head
The reverse fixture earlier this season saw Lazio claim a 1-0 away victory. The last meeting in Rome ended in a 2-2 draw, while Parma recorded a 3-1 home victory in the first leg encounter between the sides last season.

Lazio 1.83
Draw 3.50
Parma 4.75
Verdict
Lazio have been strong defensively and arrive in better form, while Parma have struggled for consistency and goals in recent weeks. Lazio should control the game and create enough chances to secure the win, and I am backing them to claim all three points.

SUNDAY:
INTER vs AS ROMA
Inter Milan sit top of the standings with 69 points from 30 matches and have been the dominant side in Serie A this season. They enter this fixture after back-to-back 1-1 draws against Fiorentina and Atalanta and a narrow 1-0 defeat to AC Milan, although prior to that they recorded solid wins over Genoa and Lecce and were on a lengthy unbeaten run.
Inter have accumulated 66 goals this season while letting only 24 past the keeper, underlining their attacking quality and defensive organisation.
AS Roma occupy 6th place with 54 points and remain in the race for European qualification. They arrive after a 1-0 victory over Lecce but had previously suffered consecutive 2-1 defeats to Como and Genoa. Before that they played out an entertaining 3-3 draw with Juventus and recorded a comfortable 3-0 win over Cremonese.
Roma have tallied 40 goals this season while allowing conceding 23, reflecting a disciplined defensive structure with decent attacking output.
Head-to-Head
The reverse fixture earlier this season ended in a 1-0 victory for Inter away from home. Roma did win the corresponding fixture last season 1-0, while Inter had won the two meetings before that including a 4-2 victory in Rome.

Inter 1.65
Draw 4.00
AS Roma 5.25
Verdict
Inter have been the strongest team in the league this season and even though Roma are competitive defensively, the home side should have enough quality to edge this encounter. Despite a decline in their recent form I believe Inter will pick up their performance against Roma and I am backing them to win this by 1 goal exactly.
BET: 3 Way Handicap, Inter -1 the draw at 3.75
