Sunday’s Serie A predictions and previews including Parma vs. Roma, AC Milan vs. Atalanta

Today's Serie A predictions include Roma's away clash against Parma and AC Milan's tricky home meeting with Atalanta BC.

Hellas Verona vs. Como (Sunday, 11:30pm)

Now trailing behind in Serie A's tight top-four contest, Como simply must win Sunday's lunchtime kickoff against lowly Hellas Verona.

While the Lariani still harbour dreams of the Champions League, Verona's relegation was confirmed at the end of last month.

We say: Hellas Verona 0-2 Como

Though they defied expectations to deny Juve last weekend, Verona are still in a sorry state, having only won once at the Bentegodi this season.

That tally will not increase on Sunday, as Como boast a potent attack and are desperate to keep their Champions League hopes alive.

Cremonese vs. Pisa (Sunday, 2pm)

Aiming to avoid all but losing their Serie A status, 18th-placed Cremonese hope to prevent relegated Pisa from dragging them down in Sunday’s 36th round at Stadio Giovanni Zini.

The Lombardy-based hosts are four points from safety with three games to go, and La Cremona seek to end a three-match losing run in this fixture to boost their survival prospects.

We say: Cremonese 1-0 Pisa

Cremonese’s desperation could prove decisive against a Pisa side whose relegation has long been confirmed and whose away struggles have been glaring for much of the campaign.

Given the hosts’ need for points and Pisa’s poor record on the road, the Grigiorossi may edge a tense contest with a narrow victory.

Fiorentina vs. Genoa (Sunday, 2pm)

One point away from securing Serie A safety, Fiorentina will welcome Genoa to Stadio Franchi on Sunday afternoon.

The Viola aim to join their visitors on the start line next season, and avoiding defeat would ensure they stay up regardless of other results.

We say: Fiorentina 2-1 Genoa

Both clubs will be back to contest another Serie A season, with a win for Fiorentina confirming their top-flight place alongside Genoa.

Though the Viola have a rather modest home record, they have found some rhythm in recent weeks as the threat of relegation has eased.

Parma vs. Roma (Sunday, 5pm)

Continuing their quest for Champions League football, Roma will visit Parma on Sunday evening, as Serie A's top-four race nears its finale.

Having taken full advantage of their rivals slipping up last week, the Giallorossi are within touching distance of a seat at Europe's top table.

We say: Parma 0-1 Roma

Although Parma are well organised and can frustrate Italy's top teams, Roma have found a good rhythm and will be more motivated than their mid-table hosts.

Gasperini now has several attacking weapons at his disposal, whereas Cuesta cannot call upon such quality in the final third.

AC Milan vs. Atalanta BC (Sunday, 7:45pm)

After watching their city rivals claim the Serie A title, ailing AC Milan must try to get back on track when they welcome Atalanta BC to San Siro on Sunday.

Now facing a fight to secure Champions League football, Milan slipped up again last weekend; meanwhile, La Dea's mid-season renaissance has petered out.

We say: AC Milan 1-1 Atalanta BC

Milan may have only suffered three home defeats in Serie A, but two have come in their last five outings at San Siro; meanwhile, Atalanta have won just one of their last eight away games across all competitions.

As neither side is in good shape, they will shake hands on a low-scoring draw.
