  • Napoli will host mid-table Cagliari, while Inter will travel to face 10th-placed Como, with both teams needing favorable results to secure the title.
  • If Napoli loses and Inter draws, the teams will finish level on points, triggering a rare one-off playoff to decide the championship on May 26.
  • Both managers, Antonio Conte of Napoli and Simone Inzaghi of Inter, will serve touchline bans during their decisive matches due to red cards received last weekend.
