Atalanta
ATALANTA WINLESS IN THREE
Champions League-chasing Atalanta could do with a win of their own. They've only won once in their last six games in all competitions, drawing one of those and losing four.
They're currently seventh and are five points adrift of Roma and AC Milan in fourth ad fifth respectively.

Napoli
A NAPOLI WIN RETAINS 18-POINT LEAD
Inter Milan had their chance to close the gap on league leaders Napoli on Friday, and they blew it.
Already 15 points behind, a win at Spezia - who haven't won in eight games before facing Inter - would have taken them within 12 points of Napoli with 12 games to play, but a goal from Daniel Maldini (son of legendary AC Milan defender Paolo of all people) and a late penalty from M'Bala Nzola all but handed Napoli the Scudetto.
Only three points separate Inter in second and AC in fifth.
