Serie A is back in action with just four rounds remaining to decide the key outcomes of the 2024/25 season. Antonio Conte’s Napoli extended their lead to three points over Inter last weekend. In the upcoming matchday, the Azzurri will take the field before Simone Inzaghi’s team, visiting Lecce with the chance to temporarily stretch their lead to six points. Inter will close out Saturday’s fixtures against Hellas Verona. Zanetti’s side is still hunting for the points needed to secure safety, while Lecce remain only two points clear of Venezia and Empoli (on 27 and 25 points, respectively). Saturday will also feature Cagliari vs. Udinese and Parma vs. Como, while Torino-Venezia will open Matchday 35. Udinese and Como are already safe, while only the math is missing for Cagliari and Parma to confirm their place in next season’s top flight.
Saturday is all about the Scudetto, but Sunday will be decisive in the Champions League race. All the teams vying for European qualification will take the field, starting with Empoli vs. Lazio. The Tuscan side, currently two points below the safety line, host Baroni’s team, who sit seventh but are just two points behind fourth-placed Juventus. Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta travel to Monza aiming to solidify third place. The matchday’s two headline fixtures are Roma-Fiorentina and Bologna-Juventus: the Bianconeri head to the Dall’Ara Stadium in fourth place, one point ahead of Italiano’s Bologna (62 vs. 61), with Roma on 60 points and Fiorentina on 59. Sunday will be a decisive day in the race for the final Champions League spots. The round will wrap up on Monday with Genoa vs. Milan, with Conceição’s side now out of the running for Europe and focused on the upcoming Coppa Italia final.
