Monday's Serie A predictions including Inter Milan vs. Empoli

Bologna vs. Salernitana (Monday, 11.30am)

Bologna will welcome Salernitana to Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on Monday in a battle between two sides with an opposite trajectory in this Serie A campaign.

The hosts are looking to remain in the top four for a place in the Champions League next season while the visitors are stuck in the bottom of the league with little to no hope of survival.

We say: Bologna 2-0 Salernitana

Without Zirkzee in attack, Bologna struggled to make things happen in the final third last time out. However, we think they have enough firing power in attack to get maximum points against the league's second-worst defence.

Cagliari vs. Hellas Verona (Monday, 2.00pm)

Cagliari will welcome Hellas Verona to Sardegna Arena on Monday in a battle between two sides looking to escape the Serie A relegation mix.

Both sides are coming into this match off defeats, and they are both two points above the drop zone.

We say: Cagliari 0-1 Hellas Verona

Historically, Verona thrives against Cagliari, boasting an impressive eight-game unbeaten streak against them in Serie A, including five wins. They are also unbeaten at the Sardegna Arena in three successive matches and we think history might be a factor here even though Verona have struggled on the road this season.

Sassuolo vs. Udinese (Monday, 2.00pm)

Gameweek 30 in Serie A pits relegation-threatened Sassuolo against 14th-placed Udinese at the Mapei Stadium on Monday.

The second-bottom hosts have had the international break to hopefully regroup after suffering their 18th loss before the hiatus, while the club from Udine could not extend their unbeaten run to three as they were beaten at home by Torino.

We say: Sassuolo 1-2 Udinese

Games between these clubs often produce goals, and Monday's match should be no different. Having seemed to nick results on their travels of late, the Udine-based side could eke out a narrow victory against second-bottom Sassuolo in Reggio Emilia.

Lecce vs. Roma (Monday, 5.00pm)

The penultimate fixture in Serie A's 30th round pits Lecce against Roma at Stadio Via del Mare on Monday.

The Apulia outfit claimed their first away victory of the season by defeating Salernitana 1-0 before the hiatus, while the capital club continued their post-Jose Mourinho era with a triumph over struggling Sassuolo a fortnight back.

We say: Lecce 0-2 Roma

Despite optimism after Gotti secured success on his Lecce bow, Roma's momentum under De Rossi and the precedent in this fixture should see the Giallorossi claim their eighth Serie A win since January's managerial change.

Inter Milan vs. Empoli (Monday, 7.45pm)

Inter Milan could take another step towards this year's Serie A title when they host struggling Empoli at San Siro on Easter Monday.

Simone Inzaghi's team were denied an 11th consecutive league victory against Napoli before the international break, and the Nerazzurri aim for success against the Azzurri in gameweek 30 to return to winning ways on their turf.

We say: Inter Milan 3-0 Empoli

While you cannot put it past Nicola to pull off a shock result at Inter, especially after Inzaghi had many players away on international duty during the hiatus, the expected champions should claim their 25th win in Serie A and take another step towards a 20th league crown.
