On Monday, Inter were crowned the champion of Italy and one thing is certain – regardless if they win or lose against Torino today a party will follow at the stadium. An interesting match will be played in Naples, where the home team needs to grab a successful result in order to fight for the European stage. At the same time, Bologna are fighting for the Champions League while their today’s rival Udinese are gasping for survival…The Nerazzurri got the job done, but there are still five rounds left in Serie A. Will there be a championship hangover or will Inter extend their unbeaten streak against Torino? Monday’s victory in the Derby della Madonnina gave the blue and black their 20th title in history. Inter reached the Scudetto deservedly, and after the clash against the Bulls, the celebration will be in full swing.”It was a long journey for me and my team. You try to improve every day. When I think back to the debut in the Champions League and the games against Real Madrid and Liverpool, who played together in the final that season. Even then I saw promising signs and was I am sure that we can build a team on that and that we can reach six trophies,” said Simone Inzaghi.Despite the recently won title, the Nerazzurri do not intend to delay work at the end of the season, but want to make their fans happy. In total, they can extend their unbeaten streak to 28 games.The new champions will face Torino, who can still reach a place in Europe. Granata are eight points behind Atalanta, but there is still a theoretical chance. However, Torino must improve their productivity as they are without a win in the last three rounds. And while the match with Juventus ended in a draw was successful, the draw with Frosinone was more of a defeat. Jurić’s team has not won three matches in a row and will try to change that at San Siro, even though they are not favorites.The Nerazzurri have a better head-to-head record with Granata and have already won the October match on opponent’s ground with a score of 3-0. Torino recorded their last win over Inter in 2019.Simone Inzaghi is likely to rest some players, but he certainly cannot count on injured stopper Accerbi and winger Dumfries, who is booked.Les Champions d’Italie sont arrivés ! ⭐️⭐️ C’EST DE LA FOLIE 🔥⚫️🔵 pic.twitter.com/lOfrUiqmVT— Inter FR (@InterMilanFRA) April 28, 2024 On Sunday night, two duels will be played at the same time, which could say a lot about who will see the Champions League in the end. Atalanta and Roma compete for the last fifth place, and the Wolfess face a disproportionately tougher opponent as they go to Naples, while the Goddess welcomes Empoli.Visiting Mount Vesuvius rarely brought Roma three points. Wolfess’ last win there was in March 2018, and since then the matches at the stadium named after one of the best football players in history, Diego Armando Maradona, have been rather one-sided.In any case, the truth is that this year’s Napoli only remotely resembles the sovereign success machine of last year. And the change in the position of coach didn’t help them much either, although the fans probably expected a lot from the hiring of coach Francesco Calzona.The fact is that, due to various circumstances, Napoli came from the position of leader and winner of the last scudetto to eighth place. Nine points separate them from Roma, currently in fifth place. So it looks like they are likely to miss out on the Champions League. Calzona’s squad may be showing signs of improvement from when Walter Mazzarri was in charge, but with all due respect to his successful past, it hasn’t been that difficult.In the last six rounds, the Partenopei managed to draw with Inter, which of course can be considered a success, but they won only one game out of those. After a surprise draw with Frosinone, Napoli had to get used to an even bigger shock when they were defeated by Empoli in the last round. For the second time in four rounds, Napoli were left empty-handed, the attack that graced them seems gone. Napoli scored just 50 goals, the fifth-best performance in the competition.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Against Roma, only defender Olivera and midfielder Zielinski are out. On the other hand, Daniele De Rossi is dealing with a more difficult situation. Chris Smalling did not finish the match with Udinese, and striker Romelu Lukaku is also missing.After reaching the semi-finals of the Europa League and the elimination of AC Milan, a visibly tired Roma lost to Bologna 3-1 and now their placement in the European elite is in danger. Nevertheless, a win over Udinese improved the mood, although the clash with Leverkusen follows in four days.Bologna are in a position to dethrone Juventus from third place in Serie A, but they need to beat the unpredictable Udinese. The Zebras are under pressure as they face relegation five rounds before the end of the season. Neither side can afford to hesitate at this point. Bologna threaten Roma, while Udinese are in serious danger of being relegated to Serie B. Even a draw is almost a defeat for both teams.The dream of the team from Renato Dall’Ara to participate in the strongest continental competition is about to come true. Rosoblu are in fourth place and enjoy an advantage of four points ahead of Roma, and seven ahead of sixth-placed Lazio.Thiago Mota’s players are in a position to attack the third place, because they are only three points behind the Old Lady, with a game behind. The direct clash with the black and white ended 1-1, and Bologna have the better goal difference, so it is able to create some conundrum. In any case, Bologna’s form is promising and if they keep it until the end of the season, success is guaranteed. Rosoblu are currently on a five game unbeaten streak.Udinese will visit the Renato Dall’Ara stadium, with the aim of getting out of the relegation zone. But the Zebras are not doing well, and have not won since March 11. Coach Gabriele Cioffi paid for the weak performances of the team and his successor became the former famous Italian defender Fabio Cannavaro.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 34FridayFrosinone – Salernitana 3-0 (2-0)/Soule 10, Brescianini 25, Zortea 85/SaturdayLecce – Monza 1-1 (0-0)/Krstovic 90+2 – Pessina 90+6 pen/Juventus – AC Milan 0-0Lazio – Verona 1-0 (0-0)/Zaccagni 72/Sunday13:30: (1.35) Inter Milan (3.10) Torino (6.10)16:00: (1.60) Bologna (3.70) Udinese (6.25)19:00: (2.00) Napoli (3.60) Roma (4.10)19:00: (1.45) Atalanta (4.70) Empoli (8.00)21:45: (1.75) Fiorentina (3.70) Sassuolo (5.40)Monday21:45: (2.30) Genoa (3.30) Cagliari (3.45)***odds are subject to change***
