Serie A has two matchdays left and there are still plenty of potential twists and turns. Hellas Verona are chasing Spezia for Serie A survival.
Meanwhile, with Juventus being docked points, Roma and Atalanta are now in the hunt for the final Champions League qualification place.
Hellas Verona are on a two-game losing streak in Serie A. Their back-to-back losses coincided with Spezia going unbeaten in two straight matches. Hellas are one point behind Spezia going into matchday 37.
Empoli are safe for another season in Serie A. The Azzurri are 14th in the division and are on a four-match unbeaten streak. Hellas lost their last two home matches. Empoli failed to win any of their last six away games.
The last two matches between Hellas Verona and Empoli in all competitions finished as draws. The reverse fixture ended 1-1.
Monza and Lecce finished 1-1 in the reverse fixture earlier this season. Sunday’s match will be between two teams in very different form. Lecce are not safe from relegation. They are just three points ahead of 18th-place Hellas Verona.
Monza are unbeaten in their last eight Serie A matches. The Biancorossi are eighth in Serie A, but will just miss out on European qualification next season. Monza are the best Serie A team outside the top seven teams.
Lecce failed to win their last four matches in Serie A. They scored a mere three goals in the last four fixtures. The Giallorossi could achieve safety this weekend with a win. However, they will need Hellas Verona to drop points.
Salernitana and Udinese played out a nil-nil draw earlier this season at the Stadio Friuli. Udinese had a player sent off in the scoreless draw. The last three matches in Serie A between Salernitana and Udinese finished with the away team picking up points.
Salernitana cannot be relegated this season. The Granata are 15th and nine points ahead of 18th-place Hellas. Salernitana took nine points from the last six games in the league.
Udinese took seven points from the last 18 points on offer in the league. The Zebrette are on a two-game losing streak ahead of matchday 36. Udinese are safe from relegation and will finish the season in midtable.
Spezia are fighting for their Serie A safety. The Bianconeri are one point ahead of Hellas Verona with six points left to play for. Spezia defeated Torino earlier this season 2-1 away from home. A win against Torino and Hellas loss would achieve safety for Spezia.
Torino are 10th in the Serie A standings. Il Toro could not build on last season’s finish, as the team will miss out on Europe once more. Torino are unbeaten in four straight Serie A games. They took eight points from the last 12 on offer.
Spezia are unbeaten in back-to-back matches. The Bianconeri will hope playing at home leads to points. They are unbeaten in four of their last six home matches.
