All of the top five teams in the Serie A find themselves in a good run of form of late. Juventus already look like runaway winners for the title, while the other four teams look to seal the European spots. The Old Lady should find it easy to extend their six-game winning run when they host relegation-threatened Empoli.

Roma and Napoli are the closest to catching Massimiliano Allegri’s side but both teams will find it hard to get past their opponents this week. Roma will face fourth-placed Inter Milan at the San Siro in a crunch tie, while Napoli are looking to extend their unbeaten run of 14 games when they host Atalanta, who are level on points with Inter in fifth.
