⚽ Week 38 and the final round of Serie A launches tomorrow with two deciding title matches that will continue into Saturday and Sunday. The outcome of these clashes will draw the line between European qualifiers and relegation casualties.

The title race: Napoli and Cagliari will be locking horns at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Friday while Inter visit Como at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, with both victor-takes-all matches kicking off at 9:45pm.

Anything is possible: Napoli currently lead the table with 79 points, with Inter hot on their heels with 78 points, meaning that the Partenopei could claim their fourth Scudetto with a victory tomorrow. Meanwhile, the Nerazzurri need a W of their own and a draw or a loss for Inter to have a shot at their 21st title. Should Napoli lose and Iter draw — leaving both teams level on points — Serie A regulations dictate that the champion will be decided in a playoff at the home of the team with a superior goal difference, which would be Inter.

Serie A Saturday action:

  • Bologna vs. Genoa (7pm)
  • Milan vs. Monza (9:45pm)

The final La Liga rounds kick off on Friday with Real Betis hosting Valencia at 10pm, and will be continuing through the weekend and Sunday.

Real Madrid will be shaking hands with Real Sociedad at Santiago Bernabéu at 5:15pm on Saturday in what is expected to be an exhibition game for both sides with nothing left to gain.

  • Espanyol vs. Las Palmas (7:30pm)
  • Leganés vs. Real Valladolid (7:30pm)
