Predictions for the 36th round of Serie A, May 8-11
This preview compiles predictions for the matches of the 36th round of the Italian Championship. All football predictions can be viewed in the football section, and the full list of predictions for the Italian Championship is on the Serie A Predictions page. Although the new champion is already known, as well as the two teams that will play in Serie B next season, there is still plenty of intrigue left. The fight for the European cups remains, as well as the question of who will be the third loser and leave the elite division. The 35th round turned out to be anomalous: there were a huge number of unexpected results, and even the obvious favorites unexpectedly lost points. This weekend also promises to be far from boring.
Torino vs Sassuolo
The teams are in the middle of the table, definitely won't be relegated and are essentially preparing to finish the championship without serious tournament motivation. Even under such circumstances, both look good recently: both Torino and Sassuolo suffered only one defeat in the last five matches. However, it will not be easy for the black-greens. Sassuolo hasn't been able to win away since mid-February, while Torino won 3 out of 4 previous home games. The statistics of the last head-to-head meetings also favor Torino.

Bet: Torino win with a handicap (0)
Cagliari vs Udinese
Udinese has been leaving only positive impressions lately. The team has only one defeat in six matches, and during this period the Little Zebras managed to take points from Milan (3:0), Lazio (3:3) and Como (0:0). Udinese definitely doesn't look weaker than Cagliari, which is 10 points behind the opponent in the Italian championship table and is fighting for survival.

Bet: Udinese will not lose
Lazio vs Inter
One of the main matches of the round will take place in Rome, where Lazio will meet Inter. However, the meeting is unlikely to be too eventful. On May 13, these teams will play in the Italian Cup final, so in the championship, no one will want to reveal their cards in advance. Moreover, there is almost no tournament motivation on both sides: Inter has already become the champion of the country in advance, and Lazio has long been not seriously fighting for anything in Serie A.

Bet: Total Under 3 goals
Lecce vs Juventus
Juventus is not in the best mood approaching the game. Last weekend, the Turin team surprisingly dropped points at home against Verona (1:1), which has already prematurely lost its chances of remaining in the elite division. Another slip-up against a team from the lower part of the table could seriously damage the Old Lady's tournament position: in the worst-case scenario, Juventus risks falling out of the top 4. Therefore, the visitors must take to the field with maximum determination and claim their due.

Bet: Juventus win
Verona vs Como
Verona is finishing the championship without any particular motivation. The team is in 19th place, having lost even theoretical chances of staying in Serie A. However, last weekend the Mastiffs managed to surprise by taking points away from Juventus (1:1). But it must be admitted: Verona was very lucky in that match, as Turin outplayed not only for three points, but also for a big victory. It will be harder to repeat such a scenario against Como. The Larians now understand well that they cannot underestimate the Mastiffs. Moreover, the visitors still have serious motivation – they are still vying for a place in the Champions League.

Bet: Como win with a handicap (-1)
Cremonese vs Pisa
Cremonese has been struggling recently. The team has suffered 8 defeats in the last 10 matches, and the gap from the safe 17th place has increased to four points after the results of the 35th round. However, Pisa is even worse off. The Black-Blues have a series of six defeats and, unlike the Red-Greys, have already prematurely lost their chances of staying in the elite. If Cremonese cannot secure three points at home against such an opponent, the team will essentially have to pack up and join Pisa in Serie B.

Bet: Cremonese win
Fiorentina vs Genoa
Fiorentina, after a disastrous first half of the season, managed to pull itself together and almost solved the survival issue: the gap from the relegation zone is nine points with three rounds left in the championship. Genoa under De Rossi also leaves a positive impression and, even without serious tournament motivation, will surely want to give a fight to the Violets. Recent meetings between these teams have been high-scoring, so the upcoming game could be quite entertaining.

Bet: Total Over 2 goals
Parma vs Roma
Roma is approaching the upcoming meeting within a great mood. In the two previous rounds, the team easily defeated Bologna (2:0) and Fiorentina (4:0), thus closely approaching Juventus, who are in fourth place. The gap is only one point. The Wolves are clearly intent on making it into the Champions League at the end of the season, so they must beat Parma, who are already playing out the championship without any particular motivation, even away from home.

Bet: Roma win
Milan vs Atalanta
The central game of the round will take place in Milan, where the eponymous team will play against Atalanta. However, the teams are currently far from their optimal form: the Rossoneri have lost 3 out of their last 5 matches, while the Bergamo team has been unable to win for five games. Both sides will want to break this unsuccessful streak with a victory, especially since there is plenty of motivation: Milan can still drop out of the top-4, while Atalanta needs to hold onto the seventh place, which can become a European cup place in case of Inter's victory in the Italian Cup final. So the meeting promises to be a real battle.

Bet: Both Teams To Score (Yes)
Napoli vs Bologna
The 36th round program will conclude with a match between Napoli and Bologna. The Red-Blues are frankly failing the season and risk finishing the championship in the lower half of the table. The team has not scored a single goal in the last four matches, losing three of them. Napoli is in second place, but theoretically can still drop out of the top-4, so they desperately need to earn three points. Especially since the opponent is in terrible form, and Napoli must take advantage of such an opportunity.

Bet: Napoli win
Round Summary
The 36th round of Serie A will take place without any championship intrigue, but this certainly does not make it a walkover. The fight for the Champions League and other European cups comes to the fore. Juventus cannot afford to make a mistake in the match against Lecce, Como must beat Verona, and Milan and Atalanta will play against each other in one of the most intense confrontations of the weekend. The bottom of the table will be no less heated. Cremonese must beat Pisa if they still hope to retain their place in the elite. When analyzing Serie A matches, it is useful to compare bookmakers, as they often offer a wide range of betting markets and special odds for Italian championship games https://scores24.live/en/sportbooks-it
