Juventus Vs Cagliari
Juventus maintained their impressive run of form with an away win against Atalanta in a game marred by crowd trouble. Conte will be pleased his men held out in a difficult atmosphere in order not to dampen their championship celebrations. Cagliari were beaten in Sardinia by a lone goal when Parma visited and I suspect another loss is on the cards when they visit the home of the recently crowned champions.
Prediction 2-0

Catania Vs Pescara
Catania were able to leave Sampdoria with a point as they look to hold onto their mid-table position after a very positive season. With Pescara already relegated morale is at an all time low as was clear in their 0-4 defeat at the hands of AC Milan. Home win predicted here.
Prediction 2-0
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Chievo Vs Torino
Chievo pulled off the surprise of the mid-week Serie A fixtures with a determined win at the Olimpico, with goalkeeper Agazzi keeping them in the game until a late counter attack sealed a historic win. Torino were held at home to a goalless draw by relegation candidates Genoa, in a match were both teams were relieved to finish with a point. Chievo should edge this.
Prediction 1-0

Udinese Vs Atalanta
Udinese came out on top in a five goal thriller in Sicily to all but cement their chances of European football next season. Atalanta were rather lacklustre as they failed to take their chances against a Juventus team still celebrating their recent title success. I predict a home win for Le Zebrette.
Prediction 3-1

Genoa Vs Inter
With just two games to go Genoa are four points clear of their nearest relegation rivals Palermo as both teams do their utmost to avoid the being the final team to be relegated this season. Inter remain with a lot of their own problems as coach Stramaccioni has to contend with an ever increasing injury list. Luck was also not on Inter’s side on Wednesday night as they lost at home to Lazio. I reckon a draw is the most likely outcome.
Prediction 1-1
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Fiorentina Vs Palermo
Fioretina secured three more vital points on their travels to Siena last Sunday, as they all but secured an impressive 4th place finish this season. Palermo were undone by a late goal as they lost at home to Udinese and are now on the brink of relegation after so many years of Serie A football. I am afraid they will be leaving Florence empty handed which will all but confirm their drop.
Prediction 2-0
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Lazio Vs Sampdoria
Lazio could once again thank the goal keeping heroics of Marchetti as they beat Inter at the San Siro in Gameweek 36 and caught up with city rivals Roma in the standings on 58 points. Sampdoria will be pleased to have held on for a point when they entertained Catania last Wednesday however I reckon they stand little chance of leaving the Olimpico with anything this time round.
Prediction 3-1
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Napoli Vs Siena
Napoli put in a solid display to see off Bolgona on their travels with Cavani once again grabbing the headlines. Siena on the otherhand lost at home and are now the second team to get relegated from Italian top flight football. With Siena having nothing to play for and Napoli in fine form, a home win is the only outcome I foresee.
Prediction 3-0
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Parma Vs Bologna
Parma will be pleased to have secured another away win this season and I think that most of their fans will be pleased with their overall form this season. Bologna have perhaps not fared as well as expected considering their strong attacking front line but staving off relegation was probably a top priority last September. Both teams have little to play for and hence I predict a home win.
Prediction 2-1
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Milan Vs Roma
Milan demolished a poor Pescara side in the early afternoon fixture to be just a win away from Champions League football next season. Roma’s European football hopes took a bad setback as they lost at home to Chievo in a match where they could just not find the back of the net. They will have to be on their toes when they travel to the San Siro on Sunday night, but I reckon Mario Balotelli and friends have enough to win.
Prediction 2-1
