One point stands in the way of Juventus and their goal of winning their seventh consecutive Scudetto.
The Old Lady faces a tricky test at Roma on Sunday as Juventus looks to clinch the league crown with one match remaining. Max Allegri’s men defeated Bologna, 3-1, last weekend at home to move one step closer to clinching the title. Juventus’ four strikers on the roster have combined for 47 league goals so far this season.
Roma defeated Cagliari, 1-0, away last weekend as they tried to wipe off their Champions League exit to Liverpool. Roma is in third place, but could still finish the season as low as fifth if results do not go their way. Edin Dzeko has 16 league goals for Roma this campaign, and has two in his last two appearances.
Elsewhere across Europe, the English Premier League campaign concludes with 10 matches on Sunday. Borussia Dortmund faces a tough test at Hoffenheim on the last day of the Bundesliga season. Monaco hosts St. Etienne in a top-six showdown at the Stade Louis II. Barcelona travels to Leganes on Sunday in La Liga play, while Real Madrid hosts Celta Vigo on Saturday.
Here’s a closer look at all of this weekend’s European action:

A win paired with other results would see Swansea stay up, and they will look to Jordan Ayew (seven goals) to lead the way. Stoke, already relegated following last weekend’s defeat to Crystal Palace, will look to spoil the party and grab their first league win since Jan. 20th.
