Saturday's Serie A predictions including Napoli vs. Lecce

Napoli vs. Lecce (Saturday, 2.00pm)

Serie A leaders Napoli will seek to tighten their grip on top spot this weekend, when they welcome lowly Lecce to Stadio Maradona.

The teams convene on Saturday afternoon, with the hosts hunting a fourth straight win and their ailing visitors sitting second-bottom after a six-goal thumping last week.

We say: Napoli 3-0 Lecce

There is a huge gulf in both quality and confidence within the two camps, as Napoli are riding the crest of a wave and Lecce cannot score or keep a clean sheet.

The Serie A leaders are set to extend their winning streak, while their visitors could finish the week rock-bottom of the standings.

Bologna vs. AC Milan (Saturday, 5.00pm)

Two teams struggling in the Champions League will aim to push continental concerns to one side on Saturday, as Bologna welcome AC Milan to Stadio Dall'Ara.

While Milan finally got off the mark with a win in midweek, their Rossoblu rivals remain pointless in Europe's top club competition - and they have fared little better in Serie A.

We say: Bologna 1-2 AC Milan

Bologna have dropped eight points from winning positions in Serie A this season, and their confidence must be low after slipping up last week, then being beaten in Birmingham.

Therefore, hit-and-miss Milan are well-placed to take advantage of their hosts' woes and secure a third straight win.

Atalanta vs. Hellas Verona (Saturday, 7.45pm)

After enduring frustration in Europe, Atalanta BC will aim to bounce back with a Serie A win on Saturday evening, when they welcome Hellas Verona to Bergamo.

La Dea's path to Champions League victory was bravely blocked by Celtic in midweek, while their visitors went down to a humbling home defeat two days earlier.

We say: Atalanta BC 3-1 Hellas Verona

Atalanta should take care of business against a Verona side that has been shipping plenty of goals, already conceding three on four separate occasions.

Posting a third league win on the spin would keep La Dea in the mix for top spot, as they look to stay the pace with several Scudetto contenders.
