Monday's Serie A predictions including Juventus vs. Lazio

Sampdoria vs. Fiorentina (Monday, 5.30pm)

In the midst of a battle for European qualification, Fiorentina's final road trip of the 2021-22 campaign takes them to Sampdoria's Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Monday.

Their hosts are still not assured of safety with two matches left of the Serie A season, while the Viola bounced back from four straight defeats to beat Roma last time out; keeping their a top-six dream alive.

We say: Sampdoria 1-2 Fiorentina

Yet to draw a league game at home in 2022, Sampdoria would probably take a point if offered, given the quality of Monday's opposition.

However, their relative lack of firepower could cost them, and Fiorentina are set for a rare away win - keeping them in the top-six mix for the final weekend.

Juventus vs. Lazio (Monday, 7.45pm)

Following Coppa Italia heartbreak last week, Juventus seek victory in their final home game of an underwhelming season, as they welcome fifth-placed Lazio to Turin on Monday.

While the Bianconeri lost Wednesday's cup final in extra time, to follow a disappointing Serie A defeat at Genoa, their visitors have posted back-to-back wins to keep themselves in contention for European qualification.

We say: Juventus 1-1 Lazio

Should they lose to Lazio, this will be just the second Serie A season in which Juventus have taken fewer points on home soil than when playing away, which demonstrates their faded aura of invincibility in Turin.

The visitors - second-top scorers in Serie A this term - should have little fear of failure, given the state they find their opponents in, but are too defensively flaky to guarantee any more than a point.
