Empoli hope to avoid slipping into the bottom three at the end of round 15's Serie A action when they welcome Lecce to Stadio Carlo Castellani on Monday.

The 17th-placed side have picked up one point from their last two games, but their opponents have not fared better, securing two from as many fixtures.

We say: Empoli 1-1 Lecce

Lecce fans may not welcome the possibility of another draw, even if a fourth consecutive tie could be on the cards in Empoli, with three of their five recent meetings (Serie A and Serie B) ending without a victor.

Cagliari could leave the relegation zone in Serie A if they defeat Sassuolo in round 15's action at Sardegna Arena on Monday night.

Claudio Ranieri's team have lost two of their last three games, while the Neroverdi have picked up one victory in five league rounds.

We say: Cagliari 2-2 Sassuolo

Another high-scoring game between these two could be in the offing, with neither Cagliari nor Sassolo landing a decisive blow in Sardinia.
