Italy's football federation will announce on Thursday the names of any clubs and individuals to be charged over allegations of match-fixing.
President Guido Rossi said the FIGC would make an announcement after the stock market closes at 1630 BST.
Any clubs charged face trial at a sports tribunal in Rome next week and could face bans, fines, relegation or be stripped of any trophies.
Champions Juventus, AC Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina have been investigated.
The verdict will coincide with the end of Italy's crucial World Cup match against the Czech Republic.
Italy need at least a draw against the Czechs to guarantee a place in the knock-out phase.
Thirteen of Italy's 23-man World Cup squad play for the four clubs that have come under scrutiny.
