Sunday's Serie A predictions including Juventus vs. Sampdoria

---

Lecce vs. Torino (Sunday, 11.30am)

Lecce welcome Torino to the Stadio Via del Mare for a Serie A clash on Sunday afternoon.

The hosts are hoping to move away from relegation trouble while Torino have ambitions of European qualification.

We say: Lecce 1-1 Torino

Torino have struggled to put a good run of results together all season and have frequently dropped points against sides near the bottom.

For Lecce, any points will be vital now as they aim to ease themselves away from trouble to a mid-table finish.

Cremonese vs. Fiorentina (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Aiming to extend their best spell of form this season, Fiorentina visit Serie A's bottom side Cremonese on Sunday, at Stadio Giovanni Zini.

The hosts have never tasted victory in 11 previous top-flight meetings with the Viola, who have won each of their last four matches following a midweek success in Europe.

We say: Cremonese 1-2 Fiorentina

Though they have won just three times and scored only 11 goals on the road in Serie A, Fiorentina can continue their uptick in form by beating a desperate Cremonese side. While the Grigiorossi boast some firepower and should find the net themselves, their Viola visitors are approaching top gear.

Hellas Verona vs. Monza (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Battling for survival near the bottom of Serie A, Hellas Verona seek a first win in four on Sunday afternoon, when they host mid-table Monza at Stadio Bentegodi.

After being held to a goalless draw by relegation rivals Spezia last time out, the Gialloblu still sit 18th, while their visitors recently recorded a ninth win of their first top-flight campaign.

We say: Hellas Verona 1-1 Monza

Not only are Verona suffering a long dry spell in front of goal, they have scored just five times in the second half of Serie A fixtures this season - the worst record of any team in Europe's top five leagues. Should they trail at the break, then, the Scaligeri could be in trouble, but they have improved enough to secure a point against an impressive Monza side.

Roma vs. Sassuolo (Sunday, 5.00pm)

Two of Serie A's form sides convene at Stadio Olimpico on Sunday, as top-four contenders Roma host a Sassuolo side reborn in 2023.

While the Giallorossi followed up victory over Juventus with a midweek win in Europe, their visitors have won six of their last eight league games.

We say: Roma 1-1 Sassuolo

Perhaps running out of steam amid a hectic fixture list - and with one eye on their trip to Spain next week - Roma could slip up against a club they have recently struggled to beat. Sassuolo are back to something like their fearless best so should expect to breach their hosts' miserly back line.

Juventus vs. Sampdoria (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Having seen their progress checked last week in Rome, Juventus return to Serie A duty on Sunday, when they host struggling Sampdoria at the Allianz Stadium.

The teams meet in Turin, heading in opposite directions, as despite their defeat Juve are on the road to recovery from a 15-point penalty and have plenty to play for in the cups, while 20th-placed Samp seem set for relegation.

We say: Juventus 1-0 Sampdoria

Masters of the 1-0 win, Juventus were dealt a taste of their own medicine last weekend, but they should surely build on Thursday's success by getting the better of downtrodden Samp. The visitors can barely buy a goal, while their hosts tend to find a way past even the deepest defence - quite often through set-pieces.
