Aside from the ordinary suspects at the highest, we now have additionally been handled to an thrilling relegation battle, which after Cagliari’s miraculous flip in kind appears to go all the way down to the thread.

However the most important motion happens just under Inter on the summit, and much above the handsome scraps at the underside. The competitors for the highest 4 is absolutely the place it’s. SSC Napoli, Atalanta, AC Milan, Juventus and SS Lazio are locked in a tricky race for Champions League qualifiers and that provides us a dramatic final two weeks of motion.
All 5 groups have tried the highest 4 in some unspecified time in the future, however with solely three locations left to battle for, two of those giants shall be compelled to look at from the consolation of their sofas subsequent yr, earlier than coaching for a Thursday evening, Europa League motion.
However who will deal with positions two to 4 when the ultimate whistle is blown? With groups holding as many as two video games in hand, it is way from a simple prediction. We in 90 minutes, nonetheless, love a problem, so we now have given it a crack.

At the moment second within the desk, though having performed one recreation greater than anybody else, is Gennaro Gattuso’s Napoli. The Partenopei have put collectively a effective kind collectively within the ultimate months of the season, they usually now look to be in the highest 4.
The return to Victor Osimhen’s situation has been the catalyst behind their rise, and the latest 5-1 victory over Udinese speaks of a workforce filled with confidence heading into crunch time. Gattuso has executed a implausible job underneath the massive stress this season, and we’re backing Napoli to get the job executed in opposition to difficult opponents Fiorentina and Hellas Verona.
So they are going to declare most factors in our opinion, however it remains to be not sufficient to safe second place …
Predicted objective: third on 79 factors

That is as a result of Atalanta are in the combo and doing what they all the time do: destroy groups throughout the ultimate weeks of the marketing campaign. La Dea’s motionless power ranges imply they’ll go the gap after which some in Serie A, and that shall be essential once they face Benevento and Genoa of their subsequent two matches.
Gian Piero Gapserini’s males ought to blow up the fighters earlier than they face what could possibly be a leaked Champions League match with Milan on the ultimate day. We predict Atalanta to repeat what they did in opposition to Rossoneri earlier within the season and decide up three factors, safe Champions League soccer for an additional yr and do it in model as effectively.

As indicated, Milan’s final match of the season could possibly be a profitable battle with Atalanta, and we don’t like Stefano Pioli’s males to show La Dea into their very own yard. However I Rossoneri’s different two clashes come in opposition to Torino and Cagliari – groups that scrapped to remain within the league, despite the fact that each appear to have already executed sufficient to keep away from the case.
The pair have opened a four-point distance on Benevento in 18th place, and that must be sufficient for them to unknowingly take their foot off the pedal. Milan have all the things to play for, however Sunday’s 3-0 victory over Juventus felt just like the second when all of the momentum swung of their favor.
Possibly the final day’s match is not going to be such a very important competitors then, given the previous woman’s present distress …

These are darkish, darkish instances to be a Juventus supporter. In Bianconeri are at the moment weakening in fifth place after the 3-0 hammer at residence in opposition to Milan, and that end result has left their destiny far out of their palms.
Juve should shoot on all cylinders, acquire 9 factors from three powerful matches and ask that a few of their rivals get in the way in which. Nevertheless, we don’t see Andrea Pirlo’s facet holding up the tip of the discount and going through a European chasing Sassuolo and champions Inter, whose season may solely be improved by forcing enemies Juve to overlook a high 4.
In any case, Andrea Agnelli’s perseverance with the Tremendous League could lead on to the previous Italian champions being banned from the UEFA competitors for the approaching season, which makes this race notably pointless. We didn’t even need to play in your silly little Champions League, anyway!

Lazio are a great deal outsiders on this Champions League race, however on condition that they’ve two matches in hand, it’s inconceivable to exclude them but. Final weekend’s shock 2-0 defeat in opposition to Fiorentina all killed their high 4 hopes, however a most of 12 factors from their final 4 matches might suffice.
Not in our guide, although. Between a tricky derby with Roma and a tough journey to Sassuolo on the final day, we see the eagles gliding up at some stage. And even in the event that they had been to take 12 out of 12, it nonetheless would not get them over the road. A brief, one-year interval in Europe’s elite competitors for Lazio is the story right here.
