Monday's Serie A predictions

Claudio Ranieri has worked wonders since taking charge of Roma in November and last Sunday's 1-0 win over Fiorentina extended their unbeaten run in the league to 19 matches.

As a result they have gone from mid-table obscurity to just one point off the Champions League places and they can make life tough for Atalanta on Monday.

It could be a summer of change for Atalanta with Ademola Lookman's future in doubt and suggestions manager Gian Piero Gasperini could be moving on.

They are on course to make the top three and if they take their foot off the pedal in this one, Roma should capitalise.

Fiorentina could be deflated after their energy-sapping two-legged defeat to Real Betis in the Conference League semi-finals and their clash with relegation-threatened Venezia on Monday may suffer accordingly.

Venezia have shipped just 49 league goals this term - fewer than Lecce, Parma, Verona, Cagliari and Udinese above them - and their last eight league matches have averaged just 1.75 goals.

Under 1.5 goals could therefore be a bit of value when they face a Fiorentina side unlikely to explode out of the blocks.
