There’s still plenty to play for in Serie A this weekend, with the title winner, the last Champions League participant, and two relegated teams yet to be determined.

Serie A Round 37 kicks off tonight with Genoa-Atalanta, but both sides have already reached their targets as the Grifone are safe from relegation, while Atalanta have qualified for the Champions League.

The nine remaining games will all be played simultaneously on Sunday at 20:45 CET (19:45 BST).

Serie A title race

All eyes are on the race for the title with Napoli travelling to Parma and Inter hosting Lazio at San Siro.

The Partenopei can technically clinch the Scudetto this weekend, but only if they grab all three points at the Tardini and Inter lose to Lazio.

Any other result would postpone the title verdict to the last game of the season, bearing in mind that if Napoli and Inter finish level on points, a Scudetto playoff will decide the title winner.

Serie A: race for Champions League

The race for a Champions League spot involves more teams as Juventus and Lazio are level on 64 points, one more than Roma and two more than Bologna.

Juventus will finish fourth if they win their two remaining matches against Udinese and Venezia. If they beat Udinese at home and their direct rivals lose, they will already qualify for the Champions League tomorrow.

Roma will host Milan, and Bologna travel to Fiorentina with a Europa League qualification already in their pocket after winning the Coppa Italia earlier this week.

Serie A: race for survival

The race for survival sees four teams divided by just five points. Verona and Cagliari are technically not safe yet, but they have a five-point lead over the drop zone.

Empoli, Lecce and Venezia are desperate for points against Monza, Torino and Cagliari, respectively.

Monza have already been relegated, and the other two teams joining the Brianzoli in Serie B will be determined this weekend, but only if Venezia win and Lecce and Empoli lose.

As it happens for the Scudetto, if two teams finish level on points in the drop zone, there will be a relegation playout, while the ranking for teams finishing with the same number of points in the race for Europe is determined by the head-to-head record or goal difference if the head-to-head record is even.
