Bologna vs. Genoa (Saturday, 5.00pm)

Coppa Italia winners Bologna head into the final Serie A gameweek against Genoa at Stadio Renato Dell'Ara on Saturday, aiming to avoid losing three consecutive top-flight matches.
The Emilians suffered back-to-back losses for the first time since 2023 after Sunday's defeat to Fiorentina, but they hope to snap that run against a visiting side without a victory since the start of April.
We say: Bologna 1-1 Genoa
Despite the historical precedent of this fixture since 2018, Saturday's match is tricky to call as Bologna have little to play for after securing a Europa League place and Genoa are unable to rise or fall in the table.
Thus, a draw seems the most likely outcome when both sides with little riding on the events of the final day face off in Emilia-Romagna.

AC Milan vs. Monza (Saturday, 7.45pm)

AC Milan will receive a spiky reception when they face Monza at San Siro in their Serie A finale on Saturday night.
The club's ultras will walk out on 15 minutes to, in their words, leave the players and directors "alone with their shame", following a disastrous ending to the season.
We say: AC Milan 3-1 Monza
Milan will be demoralised and most likely jeered by their own supporters here after a dreadful week, but they should still get the job done against a Monza side who will rank among one of the worst in Serie A history.
The hosts have been strong against teams in the bottom six, taking exactly 50% of their points this season against teams 15th or lower, and that is set to increase here.
