All the Serie A matchday 15 games to look forward to this weekend
AC Milan vs Salernitana : When AC Milan hosts bottom-placed Salernitana at San Siro on Saturday afternoon, they'll be trying to make it back-to-back victories in Serie A. With a 3-0 win against Genoa on Wednesday night, Milan put setbacks to Fiorentina and Sassuolo behind them, with a Junior Messi brace and a Zlatan Ibrahimovic free-kick closing the gap to Napoli in first place. Salernitana has struggled for form since their promotion, finding it difficult to adjust to playing at a higher level. They have been in the relegation zone since the second round of the season, and are presently bottom. Their last victory came on October 26 against fellow promoted side Venezia, while their only other win came earlier that month against fellow strugglers Genoa. They've lost 11 of their last 15 games.
AS Roma vs Inter Milan: On Saturday, Roma will face Inter Milan in a Serie A match at the Stadio Olimpico. The hosts, who are now in fifth place, need the points to cut the gap on teams like Atalanta, Inter, and Napoli, who are progressively gaining ground. The hosts have won two of their last five games but have lost three of them. Inter Milan, on the other hand, is in fantastic form, having won their past three Serie A games and four of their last five. Udinese, Napoli, Venezia, and Napoli were all defeated, while AC Milan was held to a draw. They also defeated Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League to go to the quarterfinals.
Napoli vs Atalanta: Napoli will be hoping to extend their lead atop the Serie A table when they welcome Atalanta to their home grounds for a crucial test on Saturday. The hosts were held to a 2-2 draw by Sassuolo this week and will need to bounce back in this fixture. Meanwhile, Atalanta is in fourth place in Serie A, having recovered from a sluggish start to the season. La Dea smashed Venezia 4-0 in their last meeting and will be optimistic heading into this one.
Sampdoria vs Lazio: Lazio have slid to ninth in Serie A after a dramatic finale to their midweek meeting, and will try to get back on track with a win over Sampdoria on Sunday. The Biancocelesti come to Stadio Luigi Ferraris with just one point from their last three games and are in danger of dropping out of the top four, while Samp are still looking over their shoulders at the drop zone.
Juventus vs Genoa: Juventus, who are now outside of the European places as the season approaches its halfway point, will play Genoa on Sunday evening in a must-win match. The Bianconeri will be looking to build on their midweek success over rock-bottom Salernitana by claiming all three points against the division's 18th-placed club.
