After 37 rounds of drama, passion, and unpredictability, Serie A is heading into a breathtaking final matchday with so much still on the line.Three Champions League places are already locked down — Napoli, Inter, and Atalanta are in. But one coveted ticket to Europe’s elite competition remains, and it’s a three-way fight between Juventus, Roma, and Lazio.Open ‘Diego’s window’ and celebrate McTominay! Napoli are the Champions!On Sunday, Juventus travel to Venezia knowing victory guarantees them that final spot. Sitting on 67 points, they control their destiny. Roma (66) and Lazio (65), close behind, are banking on a Juve slip-up to leapfrog them into fourth.Fiorentina, meanwhile, remain in contention for European football too. A win at Udinese, combined with a Lazio loss, would see La Viola clinch sixth place and a spot in the Conference League thanks to a better head-to-head record.🔚 Season finale🇮🇹 @SerieA_EN 🆚 @VeneziaFC_EN🏙️ Venice⏰ 20:45 CEST📲 #VeneziaJuve pic.twitter.com/VZHzzu1JZs— JuventusFC 🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@juventusfcen) May 25, 2025 The permutations are tight:- Juventus will clinch fourth with a win. If they draw or lose, they’ll need Roma and Lazio to drop points. They also hold the edge in tiebreakers — head-to-head over Lazio and goal difference over Roma.- Roma face Torino, who have nothing to play for but pride. A win for the Giallorossi puts them in the Champions League only if Juventus fail to win.- Lazio have the toughest path. They need to beat Lecce — a team fighting relegation — and hope both Juventus and Roma fail to win.Complicating matters is the relegation picture, which remains just as tense. Lecce and Venezia, both desperate to avoid the drop, face Lazio and Juventus respectively — intertwining the fates of top-four hopefuls and survival strugglers.🏁 🇮🇹 To secure the last Champions League spot in Serie A:📈 🇮🇹 Juventus – 63%📉 🇮🇹 Lazio – 17%📉 🇮🇹 AS Roma – 14%📉 🇮🇹 Bologna – 6%📉 🇮🇹 AC Milan – 0.2%📉 🇮🇹 Fiorentina – 0.1%(% per @OptaAnalyst) pic.twitter.com/8GoHUyWZDw— Football Rankings (@FootRankings) May 12, 2025 Parma, Hellas Verona, and Empoli are also embroiled in the relegation dogfight. Only three of these five will stay up, with Monza already condemned to Serie B. Every match on Sunday could be decisive.As for the European spots below fourth, Bologna are already assured of Europa League football after their Coppa Italia triumph. However, their final position will influence whether sixth or even seventh offers a route into Europe. If Bologna finish sixth, then seventh earns a Conference League berth.In short, the final round promises a rollercoaster ride for fans across the country. Whether chasing Champions League glory or battling to avoid the drop, Sunday’s matches will settle it all — in true Serie A fashion.SERIE A – FINAL MATCHDAYFridayComo – Inter 0-2 (0-1)/De Vrij 20, Correa 51/Napoli – Cagliari 2-0 (1-0)/McTominay 42, Lukaku 51/SaturdayBologna – Genoa 1-3 (0-3)/Orsolini 64 – Vitinha 17, Venturino 26, 43/Milan – Monza 2-0 (0-0)/Gabbia 64, Felix 74/Sunday21:45: (1.75) Atalanta (3.70) Parma (5.40)21:45: (2.00) Empoli (3.45) Verona (4.30)21:45: (1.55) Lazio (4.20) Lecce (7.00)21:45: (6.25) Torino (3.90) Roma (1.57)21:45: (3.80) Udinese (3.45) Fiorentina (2.00)21:45: (6.50) Venezia (4.00) Juventus (1.60)***odds are subject to change***
