Rome (AFP)
Who will finish 2nd? Who will come down? Who will go directly to the Europa League? Will Immobile beat Higuain's scoring record? The first part of the 37th day of Serie A left many questions open on Wednesday.
. Who behind Juventus?
It is only a place of honor, but it still interests three teams. The last day on Saturday will make it possible to know who from Inter Milan (2nd), Atalanta Bergamo (3rd) and Lazio Rome (4th) will finish runner-up to Juventus.
On Wednesday, Lazio beat Brescia 2-0 and therefore keep their chances. The Romans are indeed at the height of Atalanta, only one point behind Inter.
However, the 38th day will offer a decisive duel between the Milanese and the Bergamasques. If there is a winner, he will finish 2nd. But in the event of a draw, the place will go to Lazio if they beat Napoli.
By the way, Lazio Immobile center-forward approached the absolute record for the number of goals scored in a Serie A season. By scoring the goal of 2-0, he brought his total to 35, one of less only than Higuain during the 2015-16 season.
. Roma or Milan?
On the floor below, there is also uncertainty. AS Rome (5th) and AC Milan (6th) compete for the second ticket to the group stage of the Europa League.
Naples (7th) took the first by winning the Italian Cup and the Giallorossi are best placed to accompany them. If they win from 9.45 p.m. on the Torino pitch, they will have achieved their goal.
But in the meantime, AC Milan have done their part and have come back to just one point by going to crush Sampdoria Genoa 4-1. Hard-wearing, Ibrahimovic scored twice and gave an assist.
. Lecce believes it
La Spal and Brescia are already in Serie B but the last relegated is not yet known.
The 37th day has indeed allowed Lecce to regain hope. Because the Apulia team won 2-1 on the ground of Udinese, while Genoa, the other threatened, was corrected 5-0 by Sassuolo.
Before the last day, Genoa (17th) is only one point ahead of Lecce. On Sunday, the Genoese will host Hellas Verona, while Lecce will host Parma. In the event of a tie in points, it is the Genoa who would be saved.
