The championship has been decided, and we already know the names of two of the three teams that will be relegated from Serie A. The big question that remains unanswered is which teams will qualify for the Champions League and which ones will miss out at the last minute.
We have five matches ahead of us on Sunday, featuring three of the teams currently battling for a spot in UEFA’s premier tournament. We’ll also see Cremonese in action, and they can’t afford to lose, or they’ll become the third officially relegated team.
Don’t miss one of the final Sundays with Serie A action with our expert tips and predictions for all the matches.
Today’s Serie A betting tips & predictions
Verona vs. Como (11:30am)
It’s not too late for Como to climb back into the top four and secure a historic spot in the Champions League. To do so, they must defeat the already-relegated Verona.
Although they’ve managed two consecutive draws, it’s all over for Verona, and they’re simply playing for pride. However, that doesn’t change the fact that they’re the weakest home team in the league and have just one win in 17 matches.
They are also the lowest-scoring team in the league, while Como have the best defense this season. We expect them to win with a clean sheet, but we don’t recommend betting on the goal markets, as a 0-1 result is entirely possible.

Cremonese vs. Pisa (2pm)
Pisa are destined to play in Serie B next year, and Cremonese will follow them unless they win this match and every other one until the end of the season. But given their eight losses in the last 10 matches, the chance of that happening is close to zero.
Given the poor form of both teams, we wouldn’t risk betting on any of the standard markets in this match. Cremonese need to win, but we’re fully aware of how difficult it has been for them to score goals.
Still, we expect the hosts to have control throughout the match, so we plan to bet on corners in their favor. Bookmakers are offering good odds on over 4.5 corners for Cremonese.

Fiorentina vs. Genoa (2pm)
A single point will be enough for Fiorentina to secure their survival after one of their worst seasons, and their strong home form should work in their favor.
Genoa have nothing left to play for, but they’ve also shown an improvement in form in recent weeks. These two teams always produce entertaining matches, so we expect them to treat us to some goals.
Seven of their last 10 meetings have featured goals at both ends. Their first match of the season ended in a 2-2 draw.

Parma vs. AS Roma (5pm)
Parma have nothing to play for except finishing as high as possible, while for Roma, every point could make the difference between the Champions League and the Europa League.
The Wolves are in enviable form, having won three of their last four matches convincingly and without conceding a goal. Parma can also boast some good results lately, but they still struggle to score goals. They haven’t scored more than one goal in a game since mid-February.
Roma have lost a lot of away games recently, but we expect them to go all out for the win now. Parma are one of the weakest home teams, so this presents a good opportunity for the Wolves.

AC Milan vs. Atalanta (7:45pm)
It would be surprising if AC Milan failed to qualify for the Champions League at the last minute, but that seems entirely possible given their poor form—just one win in five matches.
Atalanta are also chasing a European spot and need to win all three of their remaining matches, so the Rossoneri are in for a very tough home game. In fact, Milan has struggled against this opponent for years, winning just two of their last 10 home matches against them.
Given the poor form of both teams and the importance of this match, we like the idea of a draw with one goal scored by each side.
