Roma vs Milan headlines the European chase, while Inter and Napoli fight for the Scudetto from afar

Matchday 37 of Serie A is set to be decisive across the board, with high-stakes battles from the top to the bottom of the table. Nine out of ten fixtures will kick off simultaneously at 8:45 PM on Sunday, with only Genoa vs Atalanta scheduled for Saturday night. The Ligurian side, led by Patrick Vieira, are already safe and recently held Napoli to a 2-2 draw at the Maradona — a result that complicated the title hopes of the reigning champions.

Atalanta, meanwhile, clinched yet another Champions League spot with a 2-1 home win over Roma. Inter host Lazio in a must-win match to keep their title hopes alive or leapfrog Napoli if results go their way. But the Biancocelesti won’t make it easy — they’re fully in the mix for a top-four finish.

Napoli face a tricky away fixture against Parma, a side desperate for points to steer clear of relegation danger. Should Napoli win at the Tardini and Inter slip up, the Partenopei could celebrate a second Scudetto in three years.

The standout clash of the weekend is Roma vs Milan, a high-stakes encounter between two clubs chasing Europe. The Giallorossi are aiming for a Champions League berth, while Milan come into the game in poor form and still reeling from their Coppa Italia final defeat. Juventus, meanwhile, could benefit from this direct duel, as they host a safe Udinese side at the Allianz Stadium.

Another thrilling match is on the cards in Florence, where Fiorentina host Bologna. The mood couldn’t be more different between the two teams: Bologna are riding high after winning the Coppa Italia and sealing a Europa League place, while Fiorentina are still scrambling for European qualification.

The relegation battle also takes center stage. Venezia travel to Cagliari boosted by their crucial win over Fiorentina, while Empoli face a winnable match away to Monza. The round wraps up with Como vs Hellas Verona, a game with survival implications for both sides.
