One point shy of top spot ahead of a dramatic Friday night finale, reigning Serie A champions Inter Milan will visit nearby Como, hoping to overhaul title rivals Napoli.
After both sides slipped up last week, the Scudetto could still go either way – or even be decided by a playoff – as Italy’s top-flight season nears its climax.
We say: Como 1-2 Inter Milan
Inter should do their job by beating Como, but it could be a big struggle to secure three invaluable points – and more late drama cannot be ruled out.
Though their front line has begun to falter, no team across Europe’s top five leagues have scored more goals via set pieces (25), and the Nerazzurri can capitalise from dead-ball situations once again.
Then, their destiny will depend on events in Naples.

History awaits Napoli as they approach Friday night’s Serie A title decider, when a home win over Cagliari would clinch top spot above Inter Milan.
After both sides slipped up last week, the Scudetto could still go either way, or even be decided by a playoff: the Partenopei are just one point clear of Inter, who visit Como in a simultaneous game.
We say: Napoli 1-0 Cagliari
Given Napoli’s limitations, they may struggle to score once again – particularly when faced by a tense Stadio Maradona, and with so much at stake.
Yet, Cagliari have virtually nothing to play for and are sure to switch off at least once; that could be enough for the hosts to pounce and ultimately seize the Scudetto.
