Lazio test Juventus as Inter chase at Bologna
Leaders Inter visit Bologna
Inter (1st, 16 pts, form WDWWW) travel to Bologna (14th, 5 pts, form WDLDL) on Saturday. Bologna have won just one of their last five, so the pressure is on the hosts to find something, while Lautaro Martínez arrives with 4 goals.
Roma (3rd, 14 pts, form DDWWW) host Genoa (17th, 4 pts, form WLDLL) on Saturday, but the hosts are without D. Malen through suspension, M. Svilar, B. Cristante and M. Bah, with M. Kone doubtful. Genoa have their own long injury list.
Milan and Cagliari eye the top
AC Milan (5th, 12 pts, form DWDDW) host Atalanta (10th, 9 pts, form WLLLW) on Sunday, with A. Rabiot (3 goals, 2 assists) a key figure for the hosts. Atalanta are missing K. Sulemana and I. Hien.
On Monday, fourth-placed Cagliari (13 pts, form DWWWL) visit Monza (16th, 4 pts, form LWLDL). Monza's Gustavo Varela has 4 goals, but Cagliari are without Riyad Idrissi.
Bottom-end scrap
Venezia (20th, 0 pts, form LLLLL) host Napoli (8th, 10 pts, form WDWLL) on Saturday. Venezia have six players out and T. Correia doubtful, while Napoli are missing Alisson Santos, F. Anguissa, A. Buongiorno, C. Favasuli, M. Olivera and A. Vergara.
Fiorentina (19th, 4 pts, form LDWLL) host Como (7th, 11 pts, form DLWWW) on Sunday, Udinese (15th, 4 pts) meet Lecce (13th, 6 pts) the same day, and on Monday Parma (18th, 4 pts) welcome Torino (12th, 7 pts). Only a few points separate much of the bottom half.
