Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Serie A fixtures, including Juventus vs. AC Milan.

Running out of time to pull off a great escape from the Serie A relegation zone, Hellas Verona welcome an in-form Empoli side to the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi for Sunday's penultimate round of fixtures.
Marco Zaffaroni's men were put to the sword 3-1 by Atalanta BC last weekend, while their visitors subjected Juventus to an embarrassing 4-1 defeat.
We say: Hellas Verona 1-1 Empoli
As impressive as Empoli have been on their own patch of late, Zanetti's side are still lacking the formula for success on the road and will hardly be helped by the absence of their skipper Bandinelli.
With neither side displaying rock-solid tendencies at the back, a third successive low-scoring draw could be on the cards, which may or may not see Hellas Verona live to fight another day.

Bologna vs. Napoli (Sunday, 2.00pm)

In their final road trip of an historic 2022-23 campaign, Serie A champions Napoli travel to Bologna, where the two clubs clash at Stadio Dall'Ara on Sunday.
Both teams enjoyed impressive wins last week, as the Azzurri ensured they had beaten every other team in the division by seeing off Inter; their hosts consigned Cremonese to the drop with a 5-1 thumping.
We say: Bologna 1-1 Napoli
Napoli have been far less prolific since the start of April, and faced by a buoyant Bologna side that rarely loses at home they may have to settle for a point. The Rossoblu have come on in leaps and bounds since Thiago Motta was appointed, and they are not afraid of taking on Serie A's big boys.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Monza vs. Lecce (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Monza will be looking to give their top-half hopes a boost on Saturday afternoon when they welcome relegation-threatened Lecce to U-Power Stadium in Serie A.
The hosts have won back-to-back matches against champions Napoli and Sassuolo most recently, whilst Lecce are without a victory in their last four league matches.
We say: Monza 2-0 Lecce
Monza are enjoying their best period in the club's history and will be confident of ending their home campaign with a victory over struggling Lecce on Sunday.
Lecce probably require a win from their final two games to ensure they join Monza in Serie A next season, however we do not imagine that maximum coming at U-Power Stadium in this one.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Lazio vs. Cremonese (Sunday, 5.00pm)

Lazio will be looking to cement their top-two standing in Serie A when they welcome already-relegated Cremonese to Stadio Olimpico on Sunday evening.
The hosts returned to winning ways last time out by getting the better of Udinese, whilst Cremonese experienced an embarrassing collapse at home to Bologna.
We say: Lazio 4-0 Cremonese
Lazio can play with a certain amount of freedom considering their Champions League spot is already sealed, and a wounded Cremonese side are unlikely to pose any problems for the hosts.
Cremonese will be starved of matches at historic grounds such as Stadio Olimpico when they ply their trade in Serie B next season - the Gray and Reds will probably not be too fond of their trip to Rome at the full-time whistle however.

Juventus vs. AC Milan (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Struck down by their latest points deduction in a long-running saga, Juventus also aim to recover from back-to-back defeats when they tackle fellow Serie A giants AC Milan on Sunday.
Having been docked 10 points and dropped down to seventh place, Juve then followed their European exit with a humbling in Empoli. Milan, meanwhile, have also endured semi-final heartache of late and are still embroiled in the fight for a top-four finish.
We say: Juventus 1-0 AC Milan
Juventus can keep the top-four race interesting until Serie A's final day, as they may be flaky on the road but are an entirely different proposition on Turin turf. Neither side are at the peak of their powers, so a classic is not on the cards - and Milan may be sent back to the second city pointless following a close-fought contest.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.
