Serie A returns this weekend for the final time this season and will see Spezia host Napoli at the Stadio Alberto Picco on Sunday.

Spezia have struggled for form of late but have since secured top-flight safety and will play in Serie A next season. After a torrid couple of weeks, they returned to winning ways last time out, picking up an impressive 3-2 comeback win over Udinese.

The home side sit 16th in the Serie A standings with 36 points from 37 games. They will now be looking to build on their latest result when they play at home this weekend.

Napoli have enjoyed a strong campaign and will return to the Champions League next season. They beat relegation-threatened Genoa 3-0 in their last game with Victor Osimhen, Lorenzo Insigne and Stanislav Lobotka all getting on the scoresheet.

The Naples outfit have picked up 76 points from 37 games and are guaranteed a third-place finish this season. They will be looking to end their season on a positive note.

Spezia vs Napoli Prediction

Spezia's latest result ended a four-game losing streak and marked just their second win in eight games. They have lost their last three home games and will be desperate to end that run this weekend.

Napoli are on a three-game winning streak and are the more confident side ahead of the weekend clash. The visitors should win this one.

Prediction: Spezia 1-3 Napoli
