Watch AC Milan secure the title on Betfair!
Borussia Dortmund were confirmed as German champions last week in Germany and this weekend another major European title race could be concluded as AC Milan head to the capital to face Roma on Saturday night knowing that a point will be enough to guarantee top spot in Serie A.
As ever, every twist and turn on what is sure to be a decisive matchday in Italy is available for Betfair customers to watch courtesy of Betfair Live Video, while there is also plenty of other high-profile European football from the Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and many other countries available to check out.
The standout encounter is undeniably the Serie A season-defining game at the Stadio Olimpico though and don't make the mistake of assuming that Roma will roll over for the runaway leaders because they have plenty to play for themselves courtesy of a late charge for a top-four finish.
A hard-fought 3-2 win away to bottom club Bari last Sunday pushed the Giallorossi to within a point of faltering neighbours Lazio, who they boast a head-to-head advantage over, so as the first of the Champions League chasing pack in action, a draw will move them at least temporarily up to fourth.
That's as much as they are likely against an AC Milan side whose magnificent travelling record has summed up an impressive campaign in which they have come within touching distance of ending their seven-year title drought and Inter's reign of dominance without ever being truly troubled.
The Rossoneri have lost just twice on the road and 11 of their 17 away days have ended in success. So while they are often troubled by Roma, who beat them 1-0 at the San Siro, the return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic from suspension should help them gain an almost mutually-beneficial draw at [3.35].
If you anticipate a winner, Roma are [2.6] and Milan are [3.05] to secure the scudetto in style. If the hosts triumph, Inter are [1.71] to keep their slim chances of first place alive with victory over former assistant Sinisa Mihajlovic's Fiorentina. If you think they'll have nothing to play for, consider laying now.
The Sunday showdown that will interest Roma most is the clubs between the two teams below and above them, Udinese and Lazio. Both have lost their last two but home advantage sees the Zebrette rated [2.3] favourites, with Lazio [3.55] to bounce back from crushing defeats to Inter and Juventus.
