Lazio are now within 10 points of third-place Juventus and still in the hunt for a Champions League spot, while Verona and Lecce could rue missed opportunities.
We already have two confirmed outcomes at either end of the Serie A table for the 2023-24 season, as Inter have been crowned Champions of Italy and Salernitana were mathematically relegated following Friday’s 3-0 defeat to Frosinone.
Everything else is still to play for and thanks to results in UEFA tournaments, the top five will go straight into the Champions League next term.
Milan have practically locked that down now, but Juventus continue to stutter with a third consecutive stalemate, which leaves them only 10 points clear of Lazio in sixth.
The Biancocelesti above all put pressure on Roma, sitting just three points behind them ahead of the Giallorossi’s trip to Napoli on Sunday.
As for the relegation battle, Lecce were within minutes of taking a definitive leap away from danger, but were pegged back for a 1-1 draw by Monza.
They are currently eight points clear of the bottom three, but a lot depends on what result Udinese get against Bologna on Sunday.
If Sassuolo fail to win away to Fiorentina tomorrow evening, then they could be in serious relegation trouble.
