Lazio arrives motivated after that great victory in the derby and will host Monza, who defeated a direct rival in the fight not to be relegated.
Finally, Atalanta will go to Lecce to try to recover the points lost at home and not move further away from Napoli.

Where Can I Watch it?
Napoli is more leader than ever after defeating its biggest pursuer, Atalanta (1-2), and now have a 6-point advantage over second, Milan, also with a goal difference of +22 after being the highest scoring team in the tournament (32) and the third that has received the least (10). There are already 9 wins in a row and an undefeated 17 games in Serie A, counting the 13 this season and 4 in the previous one.
Empoli will be battling throughout the year not to be relegated, but they have already taken a considerable lead and are doing well against their main competitors. This weekend they beat Sassuolo 1-0 with a goal from the young Tommaso Baldanzi, 19, and reached 14th place with 14 points, 8 above the relegation places. However, they must improve in front of goal as they only have 10 goals scored and 17 conceded.
Napoli vs. Empoli Betting Pick: Napoli
Serie A Matchday 14: Cremonese vs. Milan
When:
Tuesday, November 8 at 2:45 pm ET at Giovanni Zini Stadium
Moneyline odds:
Cremonese +550
Milan -195
Draw Offs:
+330
Where Can I Watch it?
It seems that just as Cremonese came, it will go. The newly promoted team is the only one that has not won in the entire tournament, although it is the one that has tied the most (6), which has allowed them not to be in last place. They are coming off two consecutive draws against Udinese (0-0) and Salernitana (2-2), and although they know that they have to win if they want to save themself, they would not look badly on scratching 1 point from the current Italian soccer champion.
Milan, for its part, achieved a long-suffering victory against Spezia with a great goal from Olivier Giroud, who was sent off during the celebration and will not be present on Tuesday. Despite his loss, that of Theo Hernández (also suspended), and that of several more due to injury, the Rossoneri have a large enough roster to be able to beat their rival and not allow Napoli to get away.
Cremonese vs. Milan Betting Pick: Milan
Serie A Matchday 14: Lazio vs. Monza
When:
Thursday, November 10 at 2:45 pm ET at Stadio Olimpico de Roma
Moneyline odds:
Lazio -143
Monza +370
Draw Offs:
+300
Where Can I Watch it?
After the great victory against Roma (0-1) in the derby, Lazio arrives highly motivated for this match in search of defending the third place they have achieved. For that, it will count on the return of its two stars: Ciro Immobile and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. Both players will be available to Maurizio Sarri who is doing a great job with 8 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, in addition to 25 goals scored and only 8 conceded.
Monza is another of the recently promoted teams that are fighting not to return to Serie B and this weekend they achieved a great victory against Hellas Verona (2-0), one of their direct rivals. Raffaele Palladino’s team is in 15th position with 13 points and this season they have already managed to beat Juventus (1-0), so dreaming of a victory this Thursday is not impossible.
Lazio vs. Monza Betting Pick: Lazio
Serie A Matchday 14: Lecce vs. Atalanta
When:
Wednesday, November 9 at 12:30 pm ET at Villa Del Mare
Moneyline odds:
Lecce +350
Atalanta -120
Draw Offs:
+250
Where Can I Watch it?
Lecce is another team that has to turn its football around if they want to stay in Serie A. The Giallorossi team has only achieved one victory (against Salernitana 1-2) and is very close to the relegation zone. They have the second-worst attack with only 10 goals and at home, they have drawn 4 times (all 1-1) and lost against Inter (1-2) and Juventus (0-1). Last weekend they rescued a point in their visit to Udinese (1-1).
Atalanta suffered a hard fall against Napoli (1-2) that not only allowed their rival to move away in the lead, but also let Milan snatch second place and left them fourth. Now they will have to look away from home for what they lost in Bergamo, although we don’t think it will be very difficult since they are the second-best visitor in the tournament and are undefeated with 5 wins and 1 draw.
