Serie A games you won't want to miss on matchday 30

Napoli vs Udinese: Out of the Europa League and the Coppa Italia, Napoli's only shot at silverware is the Scudetto. However, the Partenopei have a hill to climb with Milan moving three points clear at the top of the table. They do have a chance to temporarily pull level with the Rossoneri as their game against Udinese is earlier in the day on Saturday, but any further slip-ups could see the Scudetto slip from their grasp once again by the time the season ends this May.
Inter vs Fiorentina: Reigning Scudetto champs Inter have now slipped four points behind their city rivals, and with just nine games to go between now and the end of the season, time is running out as the pressure continues to grow on Simone Inzaghi. The Nerazzurri still do have a shot at defending their title, but it will have to start with ending a bad run that has seen them win just one of their last five in Serie A when they host Fiorentina this weekend.
Cagliari vs AC Milan: Milan now have seized top spot in the table, and with a three point lead over the chasing pack, the Rossoneri will hope to extend that when they travel to face struggling Cagliari. The Rossoblu are again battling the drop after seeing things go awry once again, and they'll come into this contest having lost their last two games - a disappointing turn of results considering they'd picked up five points from their last three.
Juventus vs Salernitana: Following their humiliating loss in the Champions League, which saw Villarreal put three goals past them sans reply, Juventus will need to pick themselves up and turn their attention back to domestic affairs. At the moment, the only trophy that remains realistically available for Massimiliano Allegri's side is the Coppa Italia, as the Bianconeri hold a narrow 1-0 lead over Fiorentina after the first leg of the semi-finals. Having won their last three Serie A games, this upcoming match with newly promoted Salernitana will present a great chance for Juve to get back on track, but they'll need to make sure they don't dismiss their opponents, especially as they're facing an injury crisis at the moment.
Roma vs Lazio: The latest installment of the Derby della Capitale gets underway this weekend, which will put Jose Mourinho against Maurizio Sarri. The two sides are just one point apart in the table, with Lazio sitting in fifth spot on 49 points, while Roma rest in sixth on 48. Although Juventus have a relatively comfortable lead over these two, both the Giallorossi and the Aquile will be looking to narrow the gap in what could be a tense clash at the Stadio Olimpico.
