Saturday's Serie A predictions including AC Milan vs. Lecce

AC Milan vs. Lecce (Saturday, 2.00pm)

Aiming to tighten their grip on second place in Serie A, AC Milan welcome lowly Lecce to San Siro on Saturday afternoon.

While the Salentini are still scrapping for survival, Milan have won six games on the spin and could claim seven straight wins for the first time since 2006.

We say: AC Milan 2-0 Lecce

Milan have lost just one of their last 24 matches against Lecce in Serie A - and not at all for nearly two decades - while the Salentini are one of the weakest away sides in Italy's top flight. Even with an eye on their big continental contest next week, the hosts should be able to take care of business without too much fuss.

Roma vs. Lazio (Saturday, 5.00pm)

A radically different Derby della Capitale could unfold on Saturday evening, as Serie A giants Roma and Lazio go toe to toe at Stadio Olimpico.

Since their goalless draw in November's reverse fixture - and a subsequent Coppa Italia win for the Biancocelesti - both clubs have appointed new managers, and European qualification is still in sight for the two Eternal City foes.

We say: Roma 1-0 Lazio

Roma have not won a Derby della Capitale since March 2022, but with both momentum and club icon Daniele De Rossi on their side, they can end that drought this weekend. Goal-shy Lazio are still a work in progress under Igor Tudor, who is trying to unpick two years of 'Sarri-ball'.

Empoli vs. Torino (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Davide Nicola hopes his Empoli side find the net in Serie A's gameweek 31 action this weekend when they host Torino at Stadio Carlo Castellani on Saturday.

The Azzurri slipped into the bottom three due to Easter Monday's defeat to champions-elect Inter Milan, and the away side extended their unbeaten streak to four games with a narrow victory over Monza.

We say: Empoli 1-1 Torino

Regardless of Empoli's form, Saturday's match is a tough one to call. Nevertheless, Nicola's men have stayed competitive and could eke out a draw against a Torino side that have never done the double over the Azzurri in Serie A.
