Lecce
Both Lazio and Lecce head into their final day clash knowing that a win is a must if either side is to achieve their goal for the season.
Lazio sit sixth, on the cusp of European football, and know a win would see them seal Conference League competition next season, and could even see them rise to fourth should Roma and Juventus lose, earning them a spot in the Champions League.
Lecce meanwhile find themselves above the relegation zone on head to head record, tied with 18th placed Empoli on points. If Empoli get a result against 15th placed Hellas Verona, Lecce know the pressure will be on them to get a result in order to seal their Serie A status.
As the game approaches, here is everything you need to know about both sides ahead of kick-off.
This game will be broadcasted on OneFootball, with kick-off scheduled for 19:45 GMT on Sunday evening.
Lazio Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Christos Mandas (GK); Elseid Hysaj, Alessio Romagnoli, Mario Gila, Adam Marusic; Nicolo Barella, Matteo Guendouzi; Boulaye Dia, Matias Vecino, Gustav Isaksen; Valentin Castellanos.
Lazio were impressive in keeping their undefeated streak going against Inter Milan last time out. Away from home, they mustered more shots, fewer fouls, and even more satisfyingly, sealed a point with a 90th minute equaliser from the penalty spot, courtesy of Pedro.
They also damaged Inter’s title hopes. With Napoli playing before Inter, the title race could be over before they even kick-off against Como, something which Lazio would have had a big hand in.
Lazio themselves have not yet sealed sixth. A point would do it, as Fiorentina would no longer be able to catch them, but a defeat could see them drop out of the top six. They will be solely focused on their own goals, rather than looking to seal Lecce’s fate.
Lecce Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Wladimiro Falcone (GK); Antonino Galla, Federico Baschirotto, Kialonda Gaspar, Frederic Guilbert; Ylber Ramadani, Lassana Coulibaly; Ante Rebic, Thorir Helgason, Konan N’Dri; Nikola Krstovic.
Though they finally broke their duck last time out, having not won since January, Lecce’s season still hangs on a knife edge. Equal on points with Empoli, the only result that can guarantee survival is a win.
More importantly, Venezia could still also survive if both sides lose, which while unlikely, will be playing on Lecce’s minds. They know that while their destiny is in their own hands, they have been drawn against tough opposition, a cruel draw which could spell the end of their time in Serie A.
However, a win and a clean sheet will have boosted morale massively, and the positive vibe surrounding the club after a result like that will be a huge boost to their efforts here. They have been unlucky with their final day fixture, but their last game showed Lecce still have some fight in them.

With Lazio in such good form, the home side are bound to score here, likely more than once. More importantly, Lecce know they need goals to guarantee survival, so in taking risks up the other end, they will probably find the net as well.
That is why our experts have decided that the best tip for this fixture is both teams to score. Odds of 1.83 on Highbet mean that a £10 bet will return £18.30 if the bet wins.
**Lazio 2-2 Lecce **
It’s a rogue shout I know. But Lecce will be desperate to remain in the top flight, and while Lazio have plenty to play for, nothing can be more important than staying in the top tier. While a draw won’t help them all that much, it gives Lecce a chance.
