Inter wrapped up the Scudetto in midweek, achieving their 20th Serie A title. Although the title has gone to Inter, the fight for the top four continues to draw the attention of fans.
Bologna are in the driver’s seat, but Roma, Atalanta, and Lazio are closing in.
Atalanta cruised to a 3-0 win over Empoli earlier this season away from home. La Dea will try for a fourth straight win over the Azzurri.
Atalanta are unbeaten in their last two matches as they prepare for a Europa League semifinal showdown with Marseille. However, Atalanta failed to win their last two home matches.
Empoli won two of their last three Serie A matches. Three points separate them from the relegation zone ahead of the weekend. The Azzurri lost their last three road matches.
Bologna are fresh off a midweek 3-1 win over Roma in the capital. They are now unbeaten in five straight Serie A games. The Rossoblu could move into third place with a win and Juventus losing this weekend.
Udinese will aim to slow down Bologna, however, the visitors are verging on relegation. Udinese are 17th in the league and only outside of the bottom three thanks to goal difference. The Zebrette lost their last two matches.
Udinese won the reverse fixture against Bologna 3-0 earlier this season. The last two matches between these clubs ended in 3-0 wins for the designated home side.
Fiorentina will host Sassuolo, aiming to avenge a 1-0 loss from earlier this season. Sassuolo won three of the last six matches against Fiorentina in all competitions. However, they failed to win the last two games at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
La Viola are coming off a 2-0 win over Salernitana. The victory ended a five-match winless streak. Fiorentina’s players’ minds have been elsewhere, as they prepare for the Coppa Italia and Europa Conference League semifinals.
Sassuolo are 19th in the standings and three points from safety ahead of the weekend. The Neroverdi failed to win their last five Serie A games. Their most recent match ended in a 3-0 loss to relegation rival Lecce.
Cagliari are unbeaten in three straight matches versus Genoa in all competitions. The Islanders won 2-1 at home in the reverse fixture.
Genoa lost 1-0 to Lazio at home last time out. The defeat ended a four-game unbeaten streak. Genoa have drawn the third-most games this season in Serie A with 12.
