Napoli hit the front early, and despite being eliminated from the Champions League after beating Liverpool to the top spot in Group A, they will end as deserving champions of Serie A. It has been a one-horse race for much of the campaign, with Napoli already 17 points better than nearest rivals Juventus in second place with Lazio another point behind in third. Napoli is the champion, but which team will finish second? [banner][/banner] This weekend brings many exciting games, and if you look at the bottom half of the division, you’ll see just three points stand between relegation-threatened Hellas Verona and Lecce in 16th. No club is safe until the finish line. But we focus on the race for a top-four finish and place in next season’s UEFA Champions League. The Old Lady is unbeaten in four league games as they finish strong, while Milan has won just two of their last five, dropping to fifth place. They must win on the road to save their season and qualify for Europe’s elite.

Lazio vs Cremonese Prediction: Serie A Match on 28.05.2023

Juventus and AC Milan are amongst Italy’s most famous and successful teams, so it is no surprise to learn they have met many times in crunch fixtures. This will be the second clash of the campaign after Milan won 2-0 at home in October, thanks to goals from Tomori and Diaz. The points were gift-wrapped to Milan inside 55 minutes, and they defended well to hold their position and win the game. Will this be a repeat performance, or can Juve return on level terms for the season?

Juve land a timely treble

Juventus holds the home advantage as they aim to make up for that earlier defeat to Milan and claim their first win against the side since January 2021. That drought consists of two defeats and a pair of draws, with Juve failing to score in three games and managing just one goal in four. That’s something the locals must tackle before the stats get any worse, but do they have the firepower to shoot their way to three points, or is that European hangover still holding them back? They have reason to enter confidently after piecing together an impressive four-game unbeaten run in the league with a draw closely followed by three wins. The nine points gained pushed Juve onto 69 points which is currently one more than Lazio in third place, with Inter Milan three points behind and the visitors sitting in fifth with five fewer points than their hosts. We expect a grandstand finish to the season with plenty of twists and turns in the closing games. [news_button][/news_button] Juventus made it three wins from three last time out when sweeping past Cremonese at this venue with relative ease. The goals that won that game were scored by Fagioli and Bremer, both hitting the target in the second half. Since adding that win, Juventus suffered the pain of defeat in the semi-final of the Europa League over two legs against Spanish La Liga outfit Sevilla. The victors progressed to the final of a tournament that has given them success in the past, but that didn’t make things any easier for fans of The Old Lady, who had been dreaming of glory on the continent.

Milan is playing catch up

AC Milan started the 2022/23 season as one of the pundit’s picks to challenge for the league title, but things haven’t gone to plan for the club. Instead of breathing down the necks of eventual champions Napoli, Milan has spent most of this year scrapping for a top-four finish. The visitors know they must climb at least one place higher in the pecking order to bank their place in the Champions League next season. Failure to make it into Europe’s elite would hit the club where it hurts most, their budget for new players. Milan travels to Turin with 64 points on the board thanks to 18 wins, 10 draws and eight losses with 60 goals scored and 42 conceded. They have been in and around the top four for much of this campaign but are in danger of falling off that perch when it matters the most. AC has won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five games as they stumble towards the finish line. Anything other than three points here would see them miss out on that all-important fifth place finish. [banner][/banner] Fans travelling from Milan to Turin will take a degree of hope from their team’s crucial win against Sampdoria last time out. Despite holding the home advantage that day, Milan started on the back of a painful 2-0 loss away to Spezia in the league and 3-0 aggregate defeat to Inter Milan in the semi-finals of the Champions League, two results that took the wind from their sails. But do they have the character and drive to fight back and end on a high? We’ll find out from 19:45 GMT on Sunday.

Juventus v AC Milan prediction

This promises to be a captivating 90+ minutes of football from the top tier of the game in Italy involving two giants of Serie A. Regardless of the final score, both teams know they weren’t at their best this season and AC understand leaving it so late in the day to secure a top-four finish is their own doing. They’ll aim for much better next season following a strong summer. Juventus is higher in the table and enjoys the home advantage and that may be enough tl see them safely to all three points. A home win is a strong possibility here according to the pundits and sportsbook traders.

Third-placed Inter will go one-on-one against top-four chasing Atalanta at the San Siro on Saturday at 18:45 GMT.

With two matches remaining in Serie A, the Champions League finalists Inter are third on the table with 66 points, two behind second-placed Lazio. A win over Atalanta on Saturday will seal top-four qualification for the Nerazzurri.

Fiorentina vs Roma Prediction: Serie A Match on 27.05.2023

Atalanta are three points behind fourth-placed AC Milan, and a win will bolster their chances of leapfrogging the Rossoneri at the death in the race for a top-four finish in Serie A and qualification for next season’s Champions League.

Key Highlights

Inter Can Focus on the Top Four Race Ahead of the Champions League Final Against Man City

Inter’s winning run in Serie A was interrupted last time out when they traveled to Naples to face the newly crowned domestic champions Napoli; this clash ended in a 3-1 scoreline in favor of the home side.

Inter have since lifted the Coppa Italia after defeating Fiorentina 1-2 in the final. This bodes very well for Simone Inzaghi’s men, who have the Champions League clash with Man City in the final to look forward to.

First though is the fight for a top-four finish as the Nerazzurri look to make the best out of this season, as they have picked up form at the right time in the business end.

Playing at the San Siro, Inzaghi will want his charges to be commanding, dominant, and confident in their performance. A win will seal top-four qualification and leave Inter to focus on preparing for Man City in the UCL final.

Atalanta are Still in With a Chance for Making it into the Top Four

Three points out and six points remaining to fight for in the season, Atalanta are still in with a shout for a top-four finish, depending on how Milan fare in the final two clashes. If both teams win their penultimate games, this could go down to the wire for the three teams fighting it out for two Champions League places in Serie A.

A win for Atalanta on Saturday will also cut Inter’s lead down to just two points heading into the final match of the season.

Atalanta’s form has been patchy in recent matches. They have won three times and lost twice in the last five outings in Serie A. The two consecutive losses in this run, at home to Juventus (0-2) and away to Salernitana (1-0), have been costly for Atalanta in their bid to make it into the top-four.

They will look to win the six-pointer against Inter on Saturday and bolster their chances of making it into the Champions league next season.

Injury Report

Inter

Inzaghi will be without left-back Dalbert (cruciate ligament injury), center-back Milan Skriniar (lumbar vertabra fracture), and Henrikh Mkhitaryan (hamstring), in the clash against Atalanta.

Atalanta

Atalanta are without left winger Jeremie Boga (ankle distortion), center0-forward Duvan Zapata (leg injury), right-back Brandon Soppy (muscle injury), left winger Lukas Vorlicky (knee), and right-back Hans Hateboer (cruciate ligament rupture).

Possible Lineups

Inter

S. Handanovic; A. Bastoni, F. Acerbi, M. Darmian; F. Dimarco, H. Calhanoglu, M. Brozovic, N. Barella, D. Dumfries; L. Martinez, E, Dzeko

Atalanta

Prediction

Inter will look to be commanding and play on the front foot being the home team. Given that a top-four berth could be sealed with a win, Inzaghi will have his side play proactive football.

Atalanta know that defeat will likely end their bid for a top four. They will be aggressive and dynamic in their approach.

Inter will win the match and seal their top-four spot ahead of the final against Man City in the Champions League.
