Serie A - More show to come on the final day in Italy
Juventus have already sewn up the title but the final day of the Serie A season could still have a sting in the tail as the champions look to complete the competition unbeaten while four teams battle for the Champions League qualifying place.
The calculators will be out as Udinese, Lazio, Napoli and Internazionale vie for third place while at the bottom, Genoa try to secure their place in the top flight for another seasonJuventus, who have 81 points from 37 games, and AC Milan (77) have already grabbed Italy's two direct places in the Champions League group stage next season.
If Juventus avoid defeat against Atalanta they will become only the second team to win Serie A without losing a match, emulating Fabio Capello's AC Milan in 1991/92.
Perugia were unbeaten in 1978/79 but finished second in a league of 16 teams as opposed to the current 20.
The double is also a possibility for Juventus, who face Napoli in the Coppa Italia final on May 20.
The race to finish third and claim a place in the final round of the Champions League qualifiers has been complicated by the league's decision to use the head-to-head rule rather than goal difference if teams finish level on points.
