Lazio and Napoli currently occupy the two positions, but Roma could increase the pressure on Lazio with a victory this weekend. Roma claimed a first win in three last time out, as they beat Bologna 1-0. Borja Mayoral scored the only goal in the win.

It will certainly be a nervy end to the season in Italy for Torino, as they are in 17th place and just five points above the drop zone. Torino have at least increased their chances of survival in recent weeks, as they claimed a second win in four league games last time out. Their win came against Udinese, with in-demand striker Andrea Belotti scoring from the penalty spot on the hour mark.
