Having further distanced themselves from the pack with another win last weekend, Napoli continue their Scudetto quest on Sunday, when they visit struggling Spezia.
Defeating Roma in the Derby del Sole took them 13 points clear of their closest rivals in the Serie A standings; their hosts, meanwhile, have lost back-to-back matches and sit just outside the drop zone.
We say: Spezia 0-2 Napoli
There is no reason to suspect lowly Spezia can halt the Napoli juggernaut in Sunday's early kickoff, and recent results suggests the hosts could lose without scoring. Without some integral players, they will surely succumb to the Azzurri for a second time this season.

Sitting side-by-side in the Serie A standings, mid-table duo Torino and Udinese lock horns on Sunday, in Turin.
Trailing their visitors by two points after 20 league games, Toro tumbled out of the Coppa Italia in midweek and now aim for an immediate response against their close rivals for a top-seven finish.
We say: Torino 1-0 Udinese
While Udinese have attempted the most shots in Serie A since the winter break, and at least 11 more than any other side, they have struggled for goals of late - and Torino are not the easiest nut to crack. For that reason, a low-scoring contest may be edged by the hosts, who would then overhaul their visitors in the table.

Now into the Coppa Italia semi-finals, Fiorentina aim to pick up the pace in Serie A, as they host mid-table counterparts Bologna on Sunday.
The teams meet at Stadio Artemio Franchi, separated by just two points in the standings, and victory for the Viola would take them above their Rossoblu rivals.
We say: Fiorentina 2-1 Bologna
Despite running into some good form of late, Bologna do not tend to travel well and are still burdened by a long injury list. Boosted by recent results, Fiorentina can therefore claim a win to take them above their visitors in the standings.

Just weeks after their most recent derby success, Inter Milan aim to heap more misery on AC Milan in Sunday's late kickoff at San Siro.
Having beaten their city rivals in the Supercoppa Italiana, now Inter seek victory to stay 'best of the rest' behind distant Serie A leaders Napoli. Meanwhile, the champions have conceded 12 times in losing their last three matches and may well be fearing the latest Derby della Madonnina.
We say: Inter Milan 2-1 AC Milan
Such has been Milan's collapse over recent weeks, it is hard to see them rallying for the Derby della Madonnina and preventing an Inter victory. While not quite the finished article, the Nerazzurri are more likely to win the midfield battle and boast plenty of possible goalscorers.
