First place Milan proved to be too talented for even the defending champs to stop last weekend despite playing much of the match a man down. This week they look to beat a Fiorentina club that has climbed up to the middle of the pack with 12th place results on the league table.
Final Pick: AC Milan 2-0
Roma-Udinese
Roma is one of the few unbeaten teams at home left in Serie A with a record of 4-2-0 on the year. But this week they will be tested by a red hot Udinese club that impressed with a 4-0 win over Lecce last weekend. It is a battle of teams on the rise and one of them might not have enough room for error for a loss this week and a top finish by the end of the year.
Final Pick: 1-1 Draw
Parma-Lazio
Lazio is beginning to slip down the table, but they did maintain their current 2nd place position with an impressive 2-0 victory over Napoli last weekend. This week they will have an underrated road match against Parma and last year’s new boys also possess one of the league’s toughest defenses with only 10 goals allowed in 12 games this season.
Final Pick: Lazio 1-0
Genoa-Juventus
Genoa has played defensive minded football so far this season and they will need to continue the trend with a challenging road opponent in 4th place Juventus. Juve has the league’s best offense and hope to engineer at least a few goals against a team that hasn’t given up too many at home this season.
Final Pick: Juventus 2-1
