Napoli vs. Fiorentina (Sunday, 11.30am)

Following different fortunes in Coppa Italia action during the week, Napoli meet an improving Fiorentina on Sunday afternoon at Stadio Diego Maradona.
While the Partenopei progressed to the quarter-finals on Wednesday, La Viola lost deep into extra time against Inter Milan.
We say: Napoli 1-1 Fiorentina
A renewed Fiorentina squad can take home a point from the trip down to Naples, as their greater solidity of late has been complemented by a particularly clinical period for Dusan Vlahovic.
Napoli's lingering title hopes have been undermined by recent inconsistency and that may continue at the Maradona on Sunday - with perhaps half an eye on the upcoming Supercoppa showdown with Juve.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Crotone host Benevento in Serie A on Sunday, with both sides hoping to bounce back from league defeats last weekend.
I Pitagorici have won two of their last three home games, while the visitors have been victorious in their last two away matches in the top flight.
We say: Crotone 1-2 Benevento
None of the last 10 Serie A matches between newly-promoted sides have ended in a draw, with the home team winning on eight occasions. However, as Crotone have not been able to resolve their defensive frailties, Benevento could secure all three points on Sunday.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Sassuolo vs. Parma (Sunday, 2.00pm)

After a tough week in which Sassuolo lost in Turin then crashed out of the Coppa Italia to lower-league opposition, the Neroverdi welcome Emilian rivals Parma to the Mapei Stadium on Sunday.
With just one point and one goal in their last six games, the Crociati have descended into full-blown crisis - even after inviting Roberto D'Aversa back to the dugout.
We say: Sassuolo 1-1 Parma
Though it is unlikely that confidence-drained Parma can break their winless streak at the Mapei Stadium, their hosts have been faltering of late - with Berardi's absence and the decline of Djuricic sapping life from the Sassuolo attack.
Now back under the guidance of a fondly-regarded former manager, Parma can prove there is still life in the Crociati yet.

Now hitting top gear, Atalanta BC welcome improving Genoa to the Gewiss Stadium on Sunday, with the Serie A top four in touching distance after an impressive series of results.
Since the arrival of familiar face Davide Ballardini in the Grifone dugout, meanwhile, their visitors have steadied a listing ship and now aim to pull away from the dreaded drop zone.
We say: Atalanta BC 3-2 Genoa
Atalanta's groundswell of momentum surely cannot be stopped by Genoa on Sunday, as goals continue to rain in from all quarters of the Nerazzurri's high-energy team.
Nonetheless, the Grifone can push them all the way now that they seem to have found some form and purpose after a dark late-autumn spell.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Inter Milan vs. Juventus (Sunday, 7.45pm)

The Serie A weekend reaches a suitable crescendo on Sunday night, as Inter Milan host Scudetto rivals Juventus in the Derby d'Italia - the 175th league encounter between the Italian giants.
Defending champions Juve trail Antonio Conte's second-placed side by four points before kickoff - with a game in hand - and aim to narrow the gap with a fourth win on the spin.
We say: Inter Milan 1-2 Juventus
Sunday's San Siro showdown has a feel of 'Master versus Apprentice' about it, with wily Conte going toe-to-toe with idealistic rookie Pirlo.
Inter's defensive flakiness could prove their undoing again, as Juventus have resembled a more coherent attacking unit of late and still have the big-game experience to win and close within a point of their counterparts.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.
