Two sides separated by one point in mid-table meet at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on Sunday, as Bologna welcome Udinese to Emilia-Romagna.
While the hosts went three games without a win before the international break and slipped to 10th place in the Serie A standings, their Fruilian counterparts toppled Milan to move up to eighth.
We say: Bologna 1-0 Udinese
Though Udinese have proved hard to beat on the road, Bologna's home record is the sixth-best in Serie A, and they should taste success at Dall'Ara once again. Despite lacking a distinct threat up front, the Rossoblu can snatch three points with a single strike in Sunday's early kickoff.

Having ascended to second place before the international break, Lazio continue their quest for a top-four finish on Sunday, when they visit mid-table Monza.
Victory in the Derby della Capitale took the Biancocelesti clear of the Milan clubs and arch-rivals Roma; meanwhile, Monza finished March unbeaten to consolidate gains from earlier in their first Serie A season.
We say: Monza 1-2 Lazio
Though their rhythm has been interrupted by the international break, Lazio can resume normal service on Sunday afternoon and beat Monza for a second time this season. With Immobile back in the fold, and boasting several other goal threats beside their skipper, Sarri's men should edge out their hosts.

Spezia will face Salernitana in a huge clash near the bottom of the Serie A table at the Stadio Alberto Picco on Sunday.
Despite there being a healthy gap between the two clubs and the bottom three, the sides remain the nearest to the drop zone in 16th and 17th.
We say: Spezia 0-1 Salernitana
Without Nzola, it is hard to find a reliable source of goals in the Spezia squad, and that could be costly in this vital encounter.
Salernitana have plenty of talent in attack as well as Dia, with the likes of Antonio Candreva and Krzysztof Piatek also available, and that could be what gives them the edge in this clash.

Roma vs. Sampdoria (Sunday, 5.00pm)

With one side chasing a top-four finish and the other desperately seeking points to avoid the drop, Roma meet Sampdoria at Stadio Olimpico on Sunday.
While the hosts' hopes of returning to the Champions League were hit by Rome Derby defeat before the international break, Samp kept the flame flickering on their Serie A survival hopes by beating Verona.
We say: Roma 1-1 Sampdoria
Amid a sense of disarray at the club - with successive Serie A defeats, several suspensions and Jose Mourinho's future all clouding their European exploits - Roma could stumble again.
Samp have little left to lose and can see Sunday's game as a 'free hit' before a series of crucial contests against sides just above them in the table, so a point may be possible.

Foreshadowing the clubs' clash on Europe's grandest stage, runaway Serie A leaders Napoli and reigning champions AC Milan meet at Stadio Maradona on Sunday.
Soon set to fight it out for a place in the Champions League semi-finals, two giants of Calcio convene in Campania, with the home side edging ever closer to prising the Scudetto out of Milan's hands.
We say: Napoli 1-1 AC Milan
In Serie A, Napoli last drew 23 games ago - with 21 wins being piled up in the intervening period. Yet, the absence of their attacking focal point and the disruption of the international break may prove enough to help Milan escape with a point.
