#3: AS Roma in the belly of a wounded beast

AS Roma meet the most vulnerable Juventus side in years.

With the Scudetto already in the bag, Juventus wouldn't be concerned about their spate of poor results recently, which has seen them win only twice in their last seven games. That's why, probably, Maurizio Sarri will opt to play a weakened side on Saturday as the Champions League is fast approaching too.

There has never been a better time for the Gialorossi to visit the Allianz Stadiu. Roma haven't beaten Juventus away from home since January 2011. Even though Paulo Fonseca's men have nothing at stake, with Europa League football already confirmed for next season, this is a golden opportunity to end their Juventus jinx.

#2: Ciro Immobile looks to consolidate his lead in the Golden Boot race

Ciro Immobile leads Cristiano Ronaldo, who might not play on Sunday, by four goals.

After appearing to be slipping away, given the contrasting run of form between him and Cristiano Ronaldo since the restart, Ciro Immobile once again leads the race for the Golden Boot having fired six goals in the last four games.

As his Portuguese rival is likely to be rested on the final day, Immobile could add some more to his tally of 35 goals against Napoli and consolidate the prize. He's already surpassed Robert Lewandowski, so there's anyway no catching him now.

A goal on the final matchday will help Immobile move level with Gonzalo Higuain's record of most goals (36) in a Serie A season, while a brace or better will give the 30-year-old the record outright.

#1: Bergamo braces for the Serie A runner-up spot showdown

Atalanta and Inter are expected to play out a goalfest on the final day of the Serie A season.
Atalanta and Inter are expected to play out a goalfest on the final day of the Serie A season.

Sparks are set to fly in Italy's northeastern region as Atalanta and Inter Milan clash at the Atleti Azzurri d'Italia in the battle to finish as the second-best team of the 2019-20 Serie A season.

With both sides performing well above expectations so far, the knives will be drawn out on Sunday in one final push at some personal glory.

Atalanta have never secured a Serie A runner-up position before whereas the Nerazzurri haven't finished second since winning the Scudetto in 2010.

A victory for either side will do the job, but a draw would work in Inter's favour provided Lazio don't win at Napoli. With plenty of attacking stars in both the Atalanta and Inter camps, expect goals galore.
