Following the conclusion of Serie A's 33rd round, the competitions for the championship and for fourth place may have become completely devoid of suspense. Inter Milan holds a 12-point lead in the Serie A standings; with merely five rounds left, Inter Milan has practically clinched the Serie A title for this season. As for the fight for fourth place, after Como suffered a 1-2 away defeat to Sassuolo this round, marking two consecutive league losses, the uncertainty surrounding fourth place has also dissipated.

Juventus has already established a 5-point gap over Como and Roma, giving the Bianconeri a clear advantage in the race for Champions League qualification.
