Seeking a sixth straight win, Serie A’s form side Como will host Cagliari on Saturday afternoon.
While the Lariani have impressively secured top-flight survival, their Sardinian counterparts can join them by winning at Stadio Sinigaglia.
We say: Como 2-0 Cagliari
Given Como’s current form, plus Cagliari’s continuing struggles on the mainland, the hosts should rack up six league wins on the spin.
Aided by wealthy owners, Cesc Fabregas has assembled a competitive squad at the Sinigaglia, where his team have been at their very best.

Meeting for a crucial clash in Italy’s Champions League race, Lazio will welcome top-four rivals Juventus to Stadio Olimpico on Saturday.
Two of three teams locked together on 63 points in the Serie A standings – along with Lazio’s old foes Roma – neither can afford to lose this weekend.
We say: Lazio 0-1 Juventus
An incredibly tough game to call, this contest could be decided by just one moment of magic – or madness – as two well-matched teams lock horns.
As Lazio’s former strength on home turf has recently dissipated, while Juventus are improving under new management, it might be the Bianconeri that move clear of their rivals in an enthralling top-four race.

Two teams fighting for Serie A survival meet on Saturday evening, as 19th-placed Empoli welcome draw specialists Parma to Stadio Castellani.
While the hosts are winless in league football throughout 2025, their visitors have pulled away from acute danger and could all but confirm safety with a win.
We say: Empoli 0-1 Parma
Parma are conceding far fewer goals under Cristian Chivu, so they should be able to keep their misfiring hosts quiet at the Castellani.
Low in confidence – particularly across the final third – Empoli are stuck in an awful rut, and games are running out to end it.
