Juve ready for lap of honour

Juventus FC travel to AS Livorno Calcio on Sunday as champions after AC Milan were held to a 3-3 draw at home to US Città di Palermo on Friday night. But there is still plenty to play for in Serie A as the race for fourth place between UC Sampdoria and Udinese Calcio looks set to go down to the wire while a compelling relegation battle still involves no fewer than 13 teams.

'Extremely motivated'
Sampdoria and Udinese are level on points in fourth place with only two games to play. The Blucerchiati are at home to in-form FC Internazionale Milano, who have won seven of their last eight games and reached the Coppa Italia final in mid-week. "We are still fighting to achieve our dream," said Sampdoria coach Walter Novellino. "Inter are in great form but we are extremely motivated and we will try to beat them."

'Incredible achievement'
Udinese travel to Cagliari Calcio after losing against AS Roma in the Coppa Italia semi-final on Thursday. Udinese are without the suspended David Pizzarro and Sulley Muntari, and Marek Jankulovski who is injured. Cagliari are without three suspended players. "We have to forget about the Coppa Italia and try to win our last two games," Udinese coach Luciano Spalletti said. "Qualifying for the Champions League would be an incredible achievement."

Totti out
Every other fixture will have a significant impact on the battle to beat the drop. Bottom-side Atalanta BC host AS Roma, who are just three points above the relegation zone and are without Francesco Totti, Christian Panucci and Olivier Dacourt because of suspension.

'Must win'
ACF Fiorentina and Brescia Calcio are second from bottom and will go head to head next week in the last game of the season. On Sunday the Viola visit S.S. Lazio with coach Dino Zoff returning to his former club. "We are forced to win our last two games," the former Lazio coach and president said.

Messina ambition
Brescia host FC Messina Peloro, who could still catch Palermo in sixth place and qualify for the UEFA Cup. The home side have picked up eleven points in their last six games but are without suspended forwards Andrea Caracciolo and Simone Del Nero.

Parma chance
Parma FC and Chievo Verona have a great chance to pull themselves to safety at home to fellow relegation strugglers AC Siena and Bologna FC respectively. Reggina Calcio take on US Lecce with both sides four points above the relegation zone.
