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

Lecce vs. Monza (Saturday, 2.00pm)

Back-to-back wins for Lecce in Serie A have put them in an advantageous position to avoid relegation heading into Saturday's gameweek 34 encounter with Monza at Stadio Via del mare.

Luca Gotti's men secured a stunning road victory at Sassuolo in gameweek 33 and seek three topflight wins on the trot against a team without success in four league fixtures.

We say: Lecce 1-0 Monza

Lecce are reborn under Gatti, keeping clean sheets and winning football games again. Unbeaten in 11 of their 13 home games across Serie A and Serie B, last losing to the Biancorossi in December 1998, the home side should avoid defeat on Saturday, with a goal settling it for the Wolves.

Juventus vs. AC Milan (Saturday, 5.00pm)

After experiencing very different emotions in midweek, Italian giants Juventus and AC Milan meet on Saturday, with second place in Serie A still up for grabs.

While Milan watched on as their arch-rivals claimed the Scudetto at San Siro, Juve squeezed through to the Coppa Italia final thanks to a late goal in Rome.

We say: Juventus 1-0 AC Milan

Across the last six Serie A games between Juventus and Milan, only once have both sides scored. Another tight contest is on the cards for Saturday, but as the visitors must field a makeshift defence, their hosts can capitalise and close the gap to second place.

Lazio vs. Hellas Verona (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Lazio seek to sustain their late play for fifth in Serie A when they welcome Hellas Verona to Stadio Olimpico on Saturday.

Igor Tudor's men return to league action days after their Coppa Italia semi-final exit to Juventus in midweek, and they hope to claim a fifth win in six when Verona visit in gameweek 34.

We say: Lazio 3-1 Hellas Verona

While Verona have avoided defeat in their last three road games, that sequence could end on Saturday.

Lazio are unbeaten in 14 of 15 home matches against the Mastiffs, winning 10 and drawing four, and Tudor should lead the Biancocelesti to an 11th triumph at the Olimpico in gameweek 34.
