    There are two matches left to play in Serie A this season and the Scudetto race is down to just two teams. AC Milan and Inter Milan are battling for the title. Although the title is down to two clubs, there is a lot to play for in terms of European qualification and relegation safety.

     

    Empoli FC – Salernitana

    Empoli are on a two-match losing streak ahead of Salernitana’s trip to Florence. Salernitana have remarkably moved outside of the relegation zone and are one point clear of Calgliari and two points ahead of Genoa.

    On Saturday, Salernitana could extend their current unbeaten streak. They are unbeaten in six straight Serie A games and picked up 14 points from the last 18 points on offer. Salernitana are third in the current Serie A form table.

    Empoli, on the other hand, took just four points from the last 18 available to them. They were outscored 14-7 in the last six games. Empoli won the reverse fixture 4-2, but Salernitana are reborn.

    • In their 19 most recent matches of Serie A, Empoli FC have achieved just 1 wins.
    • Salernitana are on an unbeaten run of 6 games in their Serie A participation.
    • In 4 of their most recent matches in Serie A, Empoli FC have seen over 2.5 goals scored.
    • Salernitana are conceding an average of 2.11 goals in their away Serie A games.
    • Prediction: Empoli FC @ 3.20

     

    Udinese Calcio – Spezia Calcio

    Udinese have won their last two matches against Spezia. In the reverse fixture, the Zebrette claimed a 1-0 away win.

    Spezia are not mathematically safe from relegation. Four points separate them from 18th-place Cagliari. Spezia are on a four-match losing streak. They took just four points from the last 18 available.

    Udinese are 12th in the division. Although the Zebrette are coming off of a 1-1 draw with Sassuolo, they failed to win their last two matches. Eight of the last 18 points available were obtained by Udinese.

    • Udinese Calcio have been conceding 1.53 goals on average in their games (Serie A).
    • Spezia Calcio have lost their last 4 Serie A matches in a row.
    • Spezia Calcio have managed just 1 win in their last 7 league games.
    • Spezia Calcio are on a poor run of just 4 wins in 26 away matches (Serie A).
    • Prediction: Udinese Calcio @ 1.73

     

    Bologna FC – Sassuolo Calcio

    Bologna are unbeaten in their last two matches versus Sassuolo in Serie A. Earlier this season, the Rossoblu won 3-0 away at the Mapei Stadium.

    Sassuolo are seeking a win to end a four-match winless streak in the division. The Neroverdi picked up just four points from the last 18 available. Sassuolo drew 1-1 with Udinese last time out.

    Bologna went unbeaten in five of their last six matches in the league. They took nine points from the last 18 available to them. However, the Rossoblu are coming off a surprising 4-3 loss to Venezia away from home.

    • All of Bologna FC's last 7 home matches in Serie A have been draws at half time.
    • Sassuolo Calcio are on a HT/FT losing streak consisting of 3 straight away clashes in Serie A.
    • Bologna FC have won just 3 of their last 17 matches in Serie A.
    • Sassuolo Calcio have achieved just 1 win in their 6 most recent games in Serie A.
    • Prediction: Draw @ 3.75

     

    SSC Napoli – Genoa

    Napoli have a 3W-2D-1L record against Genoa in all competitions across their last six meetings. Sunday’s game is massive for Genoa as just two points separate them from 17th-place Salernitana in the fight for safety.

    Genoa are coming off of a dramatic win over Juventus 2-1. The Grifone left it late, coming from a goal down. Domenico Criscito’s penalty goal in second half stoppage-time gave Genoa the win. Genoa won two of their last three Serie A games.

    Napoli are out of the title race with two games to go. Although the Partenopei are on a two-match winning streak, they just didn’t get the wins needed earlier in the campaign. Napoli outscored their last six opponents 15-9.

    • SSC Napoli are undefeated in 44 of their last 52 league games.
    • Genoa haven't scored a goal in their last 4 away league games.
    • In their last 8 games in Serie A, SSC Napoli have scored at least once.
    • Genoa have achieved just 3 wins in their 33 most recent games in Serie A.
    • Prediction: SSC Napoli @ 1.70
