Weekend preview

Napoli v Juventus

Premier 1, 7.45pm Sunday

Only Lazio have beaten Juventus in all competitions this term - they have done so twice - and the Old Lady can demonstrate the growing gulf in class between them and Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo.

The Naples outfit have a Champions League last-16 game and a Coppa Italia quarter-final to look forward to but they are lagging behind in Serie A with only six wins in 20 league matches.

Their cause has not been helped by key forward Dries Mertens managing only 14 league appearances amid transfer speculation and they could be outdone at both ends by the title holders.

Roma v Lazio

Premier 1, 5pm Sunday

Italy's capital clubs have performed strongly this season but Lazio can prove they are currently the best team in Rome in a fierce contest at the Stadio Olimpico.

The visitors have won their last 11 league games, are unbeaten in 14 and can boast Serie A's most prolific marksman in Ciro Immobile who has scored 23 league goals - seven more than Cristiano Ronaldo.

Roma's form has fluctuated - they have beaten Genoa and Fiorentina but lost to Juventus and Torino in their last four league games - and they go into the game having played the Old Lady away in the Coppa Italia on Wednesday.

Bayer Leverkusen v Fortuna Dusseldorf

BT Sport 3, 5pm Sunday

Bayer Leverkusen returned from the Bundesliga winter break in style, thrashing basement side Paderborn 4-1, and they can rack up the goals against another of the division's lesser lights, Dusseldorf.

Desperately short of goals having lost last season's two top scorers Dodi Lukebakio and Benito Raman in the summer, Fortuna also have concerns at the back, conceding 37 goals in 18 matches.

Leverkusen can count on a killer front four which changes but tends to feature Karim Bellarabi, starlet Kai Havertz, Lucas Alario and Kevin Volland, who bagged a brace last time out. They can win by at least two goals so backing them -1 on the handicap could pay.

Lyon v Toulouse

BT Sport ESPN, 2pm Sunday

Lyon's resurgence is gathering pace and Les Gones have gone five games unbeaten in all competitions. They can use their Coupe de la Ligue semi-final shootout win as a springboard for their match with Toulouse.

Rudi Garcia's men are, however, without a clean sheet in their last four league assignments and a flaky defence has tended to let them down.

The visitors are averaging more than one goal per game and are worth backing to get on the scoresheet.
