Saturday’s gameweek 32 action in Serie A pits second-bottom Venezia against cellar-dwelling Monza at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo.
Both sides are in miserable form, as evidenced by one victory between them since the turn of the year, pointing to eventual relegation if neither improves in the campaign’s final stretch.
We say: Venezia 1-1 Monza
While Monza have suffered eight consecutive losses away from home, conceding two or more in each game, Venezia have fired blanks in five of their recent seven top-flight games in Venice, losing three.
Unable to separate the worst home side and out-of-sorts away team, the spoils could be shared in Saturday’s Serie A meeting.

After enjoying a magical night in Munich, Inter Milan return to their Serie A title defence on Saturday evening, when they welcome Cagliari to San Siro.
Inter put one foot in the Champions League semi-finals earlier this week, keeping them on course for a memorable treble; meanwhile, their humble visitors are simply fighting for survival.
We say: Inter Milan 2-0 Cagliari
Cagliari may have kept a clean sheet in their last two league games – as many times as throughout the previous 28 – but even a makeshift Inter team should have too much firepower for them to handle.
If the Nerazzurri can establish an early lead, they will surely take their foot off the gas, with one eye on Bayern Munich’s upcoming visit to San Siro.

Still lagging behind in the race for a top-four finish, fallen giants Juventus will welcome relegation-threatened Lecce to Turin on Saturday.
Last week’s draw in Rome left Juve with ground to make up, so maximum points are surely essential if they are to salvage Champions League qualification from a sub-par campaign.
We say: Juventus 3-0 Lecce
There have been distinct signs of improvement from Juventus since Thiago Motta was shown the door, with a more direct style getting more out of several underperforming players.
With home advantage on their side, too, Juve can take care of business against a limited Lecce side, keeping them in the hunt for a Champions League return.
