Roma Vs Livorno
Roma bounced back in style following their thrashing at the Juventus Stadium two weeks ago to knock four past a hapless Genoa side at the Olimpico. Livorno’s season took another blow as they conceded three unanswered goals when Parma made the short journey south. Roma to win comfortably in front of their home crowd.
Prediction 3-0

Juventus Vs Sampdoria
Juventus bounced back in style after conceding an early goal but then score four on their travels to Cagliari on Sunday afternoon. Sampdoria’s superb form under Mihajlovic’s tenure continued as they downed Udinese at home to climb 5 points above the drop zone. La Samp to be brought back down to earth.
Prediction 2-0

Udinese Vs Lazio
Udinese were trumped on their travels to Sampdoria as their aggressive tactics led to a flurry of yellow cards and two red cards. Lazio were held on their travels to Bologna in a bore draw and I reckon they should have enough to leave Udine with another point on Sunday afternoon.
Prediction 1-1
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Atalanta Vs Cagliari
Atalanta did very well to down bottom side Catania and add three vital points to their name. Despite taking an early lead, Cagliari were unable to hold out when a much stronger Juventus side visited last weekend. Home win expected here.
Prediction 1-0
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Bologna Vs Napoli
Bologna will be pleased with their clean sheet and to have kept a decent Lazio side at bay on Saturday evening and add a vital point to their name as they look to edge out of the relegation zone and to safety well before May. Napoli put on a superb display to beat a Verona side, with a near perfect home record, by a comfortable three goal margin as their fans look for a positive run of form to keep the pressure on leaders Juventus. Away win expected here.
Prediction 0-2
Catania Vs Fiorentina
Catania’s disastrous season continued as they were outplayed by Atalanta and returned to Sicily empty handed to remain at the bottom of the Serie A standings, albeit joint with Livorno. Fiorentina were held on their travels to Torino as they struggled to create goal scoring opportunities now that both their key front men, Gomez and Rossi are out injured. La Viola have brought in Matri to help relieve the pressure upfront and I predict they will have enough to leave Catania with three vital points.
Prediction 1-2

Chievo Vs Parma
Chievo were extremely fortunate to leave the San Siro with a point on Monday night, after being on the right end of a series of refereeing blunders. Eitherway, they still have a long season ahead as they sit just a point above the bottom three. Parma have improved considerably this term and will look to maintain their positive run of form when they make the short journey to Verona. Chievo are pretty tough at home on their day and that is why I am going for a score draw.
Prediction 2-2

Genoa Vs Inter
Genoa stood no chance when they travelled to the Capital in Gamesweek 19 and were demolished by a far superior Roma side. Inter were left with a bitter taste in their mouths as they had one goal incorrectly disallowed and a clear penalty also not granted in the dieing minutes of their game against Chievo in Milan. Score draw expected.
Prediction 1-1
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Sassuolo Vs Torino
Sassuolo showed real grit as they came back from an early two goal deficit and keep their survival chances alive in a thrilling seven goal encounter against the Rossoneri, in a match which saw their young front man Berardi score four past the hapless defence. Torino probably feel that they could have won their encounter when a toothless Fiorentina side visited last weekend, however had to settle for a bore draw. I predict an exciting score draw here.
Prediction 2-2
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Milan Vs Verona
Both these sides were at the wrong end of humiliating score lines last weekend, following which Milan’s coach Allegri was dismissed and Verona lost just their second game on their home soil. With the Rossoneri now under the stewardship of ex-star Clarence Seedorf, it will be hard to see how they adapt under his guidance. Verona have a pretty poor away record, hence why I reckon the home side can win this.
Prediction 3-1
