Big Serie A Easter Weekend Matches Fuel Title and Survival Races

With just over a week until the start of the new Serie A season, clubs are preparing to get back on their feet after the international break. The tournament resumes with some high-stakes matches across Italy. Saturday's action kicks off with Sassuolo-Cagliari at 15:00 CET and immediately follows with Hellas Verona hosting Fiorentina in a crucial game for survival.

Both teams are fighting to avoid relegation, with Sassuolo just one point above the bottom tier while Verona is level on points with last-placed Pisa. On Sunday, Cremonese host Bologna at 15:00 CET and Lecce play against Atalanta in what looks likely to be a tough match for both sides. The big games continue when Inter face Roma on April 5th and Napoli take on Milan the following day at Stadio Maradona.

Inter are winless in their last three league matches, collecting only two points, while Roma is chasing a Champions League spot with three points behind fourth-placed Como. Napoli has four consecutive victories, including Romelu Lukaku missing out due to a fine and agreement not to play for the club during the break.
