Sunday's European football predictions

Napoli allowed Inter back into the Serie A title race when they drew 2-2 against Genoa last weekend and they could be in for a frustrating evening away to Parma on Sunday.

Antonio Conte's men lead Inter by one point in the Scudetto race but have not looked entirely convincing of late, scraping 1-0 wins over Monza and Lecce in their last two away contests before the Genoa draw.

And while opposing them in their penultimate league game is a bold move, backing under 1.5 goals could be the way to go when they face Parma, who have shut out Fiorentina and Juventus since the start of April.

Napoli have looked particularly conservative on the road with three of their last four away contests featuring under 1.5 goals and this could be a nail-biting encounter for fans of the Partenopei.

Osasuna have saved their best performances for El Sadar this season and they can mark their final home game of the La Liga season with victory against Espanyol.

Going into La Liga's penultimate matchday, European football is still within reach for Osasuna, who are in ninth but level on 48 points with Rayo Vallecano, who are eighth and occupy the Conference League spot.

There should therefore be no shortage of motivation from Osasuna, who have recorded nine of their 11 league wins at El Sadar this campaign and need to finish on more points than Rayo, who hold the head-to-head advantage between the pair.

The most recent of those was an eye-catching 2-0 win over Atletico Madrid on Thursday with prolific marksman Ante Budimir bagging his 20th league goal of the season.

They can follow up with victory over Espanyol, who should be safe but could yet go down after a run of four straight league defeats.
