Inter Milan is on the verge of securing its 21st Serie A title, potentially celebrating as early as Sunday with a home win over Parma. Elsewhere in the standings, Hellas Verona finds itself in a precarious position, facing the threat of relegation as the season enters its final stages.

Under Cristian Chivu, the dominant Nerazzurri have effectively turned the title race into a procession. Their 2-2 draw at Torino last weekend has left Inter with a 10-point lead, making their triumph almost certain.

The Milanese side could even be crowned champions before kicking a ball this weekend. If second-placed Napoli loses at Como (who are fifth) on Saturday, and AC Milan fails to win at mid-table Sassuolo earlier on Sunday, Inter will be able to celebrate another title.

Inter may also get a boost as captain and Serie A top scorer Lautaro Martinez could return to face Parma. The 28-year-old, whose prolific season has been punctuated by a recurring calf injury, resumed full training on Wednesday according to Italian media.

With Inter's superiority now established, the focus has shifted towards the battle for European places. Napoli, with 69 points, Milan, with 67, and Juventus on 64 currently occupy the Champions League spots.

However, surprise package Como and sixth-placed AS Roma are both three points behind Juventus and firmly in the mix. Antonio Conte's Napoli are likely to be without captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo at Como, while the status of striker Romelu Lukaku remains clouded by doubts about his future and fitness. Cesc Fabregas' Como will be bolstered by the return of breakout prospect Nico Paz, who has been cleared to play following a head injury scare.
