ROME - The 36th matchday of the Italian Serie A football championship comes into full swing between dreams of glory and a desperate search for survival points. With the calendar running down, every fixture becomes a final: from the big clubs involved in direct clashes for Europe to the relentless battle in the lower areas of the table. Tension and entertainment are guaranteed in this round, which promises to reshuffle the cards further. Here are full analysis and predictions, with the Serie A table updated after the thirty-fifth matchday.
Friday 8 May 2026
Torino - Sassuolo (20:45). The Granata are looking to finish strongly in front of their home fans against a Sassuolo side that have just beaten Milan and are in excellent form. A tactical match between two teams that like to play openly. Prediction: X, a match that could end in a draw.
Saturday 9 May 2026
Cagliari - Udinese (15:00). Huge points at stake at the Unipol Domus between two sides who want to definitively move away from the danger zone. Udinese arrive rejuvenated by their win over Torino, but home advantage could prove decisive. Prediction: 1X, the Sardinians slightly favoured.
Lazio - Inter (18:00). The Nerazzurri visit a Lazio side chasing crucial points to secure a place in Europe. The reverse fixture was full of excitement and another entertaining match is expected at the Olimpico. Prediction: X2, Inter still superior.
Lecce - Juventus (20:45). Tricky away trip for Juventus, who need Champions League points against a Lecce side fighting tooth and nail to stay in Serie A. The Bianconeri must rediscover victory after their home draw with Verona. Prediction: 2, Juve obliged to win.
Sunday 10 May 2026
Verona - Como (12:30). Como continue to surprise and are heading towards a historic European finish, facing a Verona side now with one foot in Serie B. On paper, a favourable match for the visitors. Prediction: 2, Como favourites.
Fiorentina - Genoa (15:00). A match between two sides who have little left to play for in the league but will honour the fixture to the end. An entertaining game with plenty of goals is expected. Prediction: 1X, Viola more solid at home.
Cremonese - Pisa (15:00). A match between the bottom two teams. Tension will be extremely high at the Zini, with Cremonese ready to take what could be their last opportunity. Prediction: X, a tight match driven by fear.
Parma - Roma (18:00). Roma are riding a wave of enthusiasm after the 4–0 win over Fiorentina and are aiming to overtake fourth place. Parma are a tough side, but the Giallorossi are showing overwhelming attacking quality. Prediction: 2, Roma in full flight.
Milan - Atalanta (20:45). The big match of the round sees the Rossoneri forced to bounce back from the heavy defeat to Sassuolo in front of an always unpredictable Atalanta.
