Serie A round No. 16 will see reigning champions Napoli attempt to end a two-match losing streak.
Meanwhile, third-place AC Milan will try to cut the gap to league leaders Inter and get back into the title race.
Napoli went unbeaten in five of their last six games in all competitions versus Cagliari. Three of the last four fixtures between them finished with both teams scoring goals.
The Partenopei are in awful form, with three losses in their last four league matches. Napoli lost each of their last two fixtures. The poor run of form now has Napoli in sixth place. The team failed to score in their last two matches.
Cagliari are just above the relegation zone, with 13 points from 15 matches. The Islanders are in decent form, having gone four of their last six games without a defeat. Cagliari defeated Sassuolo 2-1 last time out.
Torino and Empoli drew their two matches in 2022-23. Three of the last four games between these clubs ended in stalemates. Will we see another on Saturday?
Empoli’s poor run of form has them in 18th place ahead of round No. 16. The Azzurri failed to win five of their last six Serie A matches and go into Saturday on the back of two consecutive draws.
Torino went unbeaten in their last two games, taking four points from six. A surprise 3-0 win over Atalanta was followed by a nil-nil draw with Frosinone. Il Toro won their last two home matches in Serie A.
Fiorentina are on a two-game winning streak against Hellas Verona in Serie A. In 2022-23, The Viola claimed a 2-0 home win and 3-0 away win against Hellas. Can Fiorentina pull off another win to nil?
Hellas Verona are 19th in the standings, with 11 points from 15 games. The Gialloblu failed to win any of their last six games, losing three and drawing three. If there is a silver lining for the club, it is that they drew each of their last three fixtures.
Fiorentina could crack Serie A’s top four with a win and results going their way elsewhere. The Tuscan club took four points from the last six available. A 3-0 win over Salernitana was followed by a 1-1 draw with Roma.
AC Milan posted two wins over Monza last season in Serie A. The Rossoneri claimed a 4-1 win at San Siro and followed it up with a 1-0 away victory.
Milan are third and nine points off first-place Inter. Last weekend, the Rossoneri suffered a 3-2 defeat away to Atalanta. The loss ended a good run of form, which saw Milan pick up seven points from nine.
Monza are in good form ahead of the trip to San Siro. They went unbeaten in five of their last six matches in Serie A, taking nine points, scoring eight goals, and conceding just six times. Monza will go to the San Siro unbeaten in back-to-back road matches.
