Serie A's two most in-form sides face off at Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia on Thursday evening as Atalanta BC play host to Napoli.

Atalanta have won eight games in a row in all competitions either side of the coronavirus-enforced break, while Napoli have taken maximum points from their last five league matches.

We say: Atalanta 3-1 Napoli

Both teams have hit the ground running since the restart and have plenty left to play for on multiple fronts this season. Atalanta have lost their last two home league meetings with Napoli, but they look unstoppable on current form and we are backing them to edge this one.

Two teams with contrasting aims ahead of the final run-in in Serie A face off at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday as top-four chasing Roma welcome relegation-threatened Udinese.

Roma have had a mixed time of things since returning to action and are nine points off fourth, while Udinese are three points above the dropzone following back-to-back defeats.

We say: Roma 2-0 Udinese

Roma looked poor against Milan last time out and their top-four hopes are now hanging by a thread. Udinese have not picked up a victory in any competition since the first half of January, though, and it is unlikely that they will end that run in the Italian capital on Thursday.
