Inter Milan are eight points clear at the top of the Serie A standings as they prepare for a tough test in round 24 this weekend.
The 20-time Champions are seeking a sixth straight win in all competitions when they take on top four hopefuls Juventus in a blockbuster affair.
AC Milan remain second in the standings with 50 points, with Champions Napoli rounding off the top three spots with 49. Juventus are in fourth place with 46.
They are level with AS Roma, who also have a mega clash away at Napoli to prepare for this weekend.
With all this action and more to look forward to over the course of round 24 in Serie A, we have a look at the highlight games of the weekend and offer our predicted outcome.
Como vs Fiorentina – Saturday, 5PM
Sixth-place Como are unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions. They are fresh off a morale-boosting victory against Napoli, knocking them out of the Coppa Italia in midweek.
The Cesc Fabregas coached side have been one of the standout performers this season. Como have lost just one of their last 18 games at home, an impressive record they bring into this game.
They take on a Fiorentina side who have won once in their last five games. They remain in the relegation zone with 18 points from their opening 24 matches.
However, the visitors were 2-0 winners the last time these sides met in 2024, with Como managing just one win against Fiorentina from the three matches played.
The hosts are favorites to continue their imperial run of form and get a convincing home win here.

Lazio vs Atalanta – Saturday, 8PM
With just one defeat in their last five games, both sides come into the game on identical runs of form. This potentially gives this much an edge we can expect loads of action from.
Lazio booked a place in the Coppa Italia after a 3-2 aggregate victory against Bologna, making it four games without defeat for the hosts. Atalanta on the other hand are coming off a 2-1 Serie A win against Cremonese.
The home team are in eighth place with 33 points, a whole six points behind their opponents who are only one place above them in seventh. Atalanta are unbeaten in their last seven Serie A games.
This match does not usually produce lots of goals, with only three goals scored in the last three head-to-head encounters. Lazio have a slight edge winning twice, compared to Atalanta’s solitary victory.

Inter Milan vs Juventus – Saturday, 10:45PM
The runaway Serie A leaders are showing no signs of slowing down as they seek a sixth consecutive win. There were five different scorers as they demolished Sassuolo 5-0 in their last outing.
Juve on the other hand were held to a 2-2 draw by Lazio in their last game, leaving them in fourth place with 46 points. They are unbeaten in their last three league matches.
We were treated to a seven-goal thriller when these sides last met in September last year, with Juve winning 4-3. They have been better against their opponents in recent history, winning twice compared to one win for Inter.
Both teams have almost fully fit squads to choose from and are expected to field their strongest XI here. Inter forward Lautaro Martinez is the Serie A’s top scorer with 14 goals and will be key in their attacking formula here.

Napoli vs AS Roma – Sunday, 10:45PM
Yet another blockbuster encounter is on the cards this weekend, with Napoli hoping to break into the top two while Roma could finish the weekend in third place.
The third-place hosts have won their last two league games, scoring seven goals in the process. Roma were 2-0 winners against Cagliari last time out, courtesy of a brace from new signing Donyell Malen who is set to make back-to-back starts here.
Neither of their last five head-to-head encounters has produced over 2.5 goals and with plenty on the line, this game is expected to be a cagey encounter as well.
Napoli have won two of those games with identical 1-0 margins, while Roma has only managed one win against their opponents in that run.
