There will be no relaxed end-of-season atmosphere, with Cremonese and Como still chasing major objectives at opposite ends of the table.
For Cremonese, survival remains within reach, but only if they can get a win against Como and hope Lecce suffer a defeat to avoid immediate relegation back to Serie B.
Victory combined with a Lecce slip-up would secure safety outright, while a draw alongside a Lecce defeat would force a relegation play-off.
Considering where they stood only weeks ago, reaching the final day with hope still alive already feels remarkable.
Back-to-back wins revived their survival chances, but another triumph would require a piece of club history.
Home form offers little encouragement, though. Aside from a victory over bottom-placed Pisa, they have struggled badly at home in recent months, failing to win in their last 10 league matches at the Stadio Giovanni Zini.
Como, meanwhile, already know they will be playing European football for the first time in club history next season, but the exact competition remains undecided.
The visitors sit just two points behind fourth-placed Roma and still retain an outside chance of sneaking into the UEFA Champions League places if results elsewhere go in their favour.
Encouragingly for the Lariani, recent form has been excellent, having remained unbeaten in their last four league games.
Como have won three of their last four league games, and their defensive record has been particularly impressive after keeping clean sheets in each of those matches.
Another shutout here would see them achieve five consecutive Serie A clean sheets for the first time ever.

Whispers predicts: Cremonese 1-2 Como
Cremonese have shown fantastic defensive resilience in recent weeks, keeping back-to-back clean sheets against Pisa and Udinese, which suggests they will not easily collapse.
Meanwhile, Como have been in good form in their last five games under Cesc Fabregas, and they rarely concede goals.
Because both sides have so much to lose, a cautious, high-stakes tactical battle is highly likely to happen, but we see Como coming out with a narrow win.
The bookmakers have positioned the away side as the clear favourites to win this match, pricing a victory for Como at 1.60.
Conversely, a home victory for Cremonese is priced at a high 5.25, despite their home advantage, and a draw is currently valued at 4.50.
For alternative markets, both teams to score is available at 1.75, while over 2.5 goals is priced at 1.72, which is highly plausible.
The corner option is also a good bet to pick, and a total of eight corner kicks is given at 1.80 odds, and BTTS (yes) and over 2.5 goals are also given at 2.10 odds.
> Como to win at 1.60 | Likelihood: Possible
> BTTS (yes) and over 2.5 goals at 2.10 | Likelihood: Probable
> Both teams to score at 1.75 | Likelihood: Possible
> Total corners (8) at 1.80 | Likelihood: Possible
