Serie A returns immediately after the European midweek fixtures, with Matchday 33 kicking off on Saturday. The opening match features Lecce hosting Como at the Via del Mare. Giampaolo’s side are still in the thick of the relegation battle, sitting 17th and just two points above the drop zone. Como, managed by Cesc Fàbregas, are closing in on mathematical safety, having climbed to 13th place with 36 points.
Later on Saturday, it’s Napoli’s turn. Conte’s men, who have trailed Inter by six points for the past two rounds, now play before the Nerazzurri and have a chance to pull even at the top - at least temporarily - before Inter’s Sunday showdown at Bologna’s Dall’Ara. Monza, meanwhile, are on the brink of relegation, with only mathematics keeping their hopes alive.
The final match of the day sees Roma face Hellas Verona at the Olimpico. After back-to-back draws against Juventus and Lazio, Ranieri’s squad aims to stay in the Champions League race. A win is essential to keep within reach of fourth place, currently five points away. Verona, unbeaten in their last four outings with one win and three draws, are inching closer to safety, now sitting eight points clear of the relegation zone.
