The Italian top-flight enters its final month of games, with Milan holding the upper hand in the title race over their neighbors Inter. Even so, the competition will still have a lot to offer for fans across the world, with some of the most popular teams in this tournament still fighting to improve their current positions ahead of a busy offseason and with potential European tournaments to play for all of them.
The weekend will kick off with Napoli trying to get closer to the second place, even after three matches without a victory. Later this Saturday, Lazio aim to get closer to the place currently in Roma's hands.
Sunday's activity will feature all the teams involved in the title race, with Milan and Inter playing in back-to-back fixtures. Milan's game against Fiorentina will go first, while Inter's visit to Udinese will be one of the crucial ties of the weekend, especially after what went down in their midweek match against Bologna. The first day of May will come to an end with Roma trying to beat Bologna in their seemingly futile pursuit of Juventus, who are eight points ahead of them in the race to finish fourth.
These are the main talking points and more stuff to keep in mind before the ball starts moving in Serie A pitches.
League standings ahead of Matchweek 35 in the Italian Serie A
Milan top the league with 74 points and with four games to go. One more win here for the rossoneri and a loss for Inter, second with 72 points, could almost determine the fate of the tournament. Napoli and Juventus seem to be close to nabbing a UEFA Champions League spot for next season, while Roma and Lazio are still going toe-to-toe for the straight spot to play the UEFA Europa League.
In the battle to avoid relegation, Salernitana and Venezia still have a game in hand that could be crucial in their attempt to save them from relegation, especially considering Salernitana's three-game winning streak.
