After their victory against Lecce, Roma remains firmly in the race for the Champions League. The Giallorossi have caught up with Juventus at 54 points, while Como surprisingly leads with 57 points, and Atalanta follows with 50. The standings are extremely tight, promising an unpredictable season finale where every matchday can overturn positions. The calendar, however, allows no room for error.
The Giallorossi’s Calendar
Roma is preparing for a high-intensity season finale. A demanding cycle will open with Inter-Roma, followed by crucial clashes against Atalanta and Bologna, culminating in the derby with Lazio, always unpredictable. In between, they will face teams like Pisa, Fiorentina, Parma, and Verona, all fighting for survival and therefore potentially decisive obstacles. The key will be not only to win direct clashes but also to avoid missteps against seemingly minor opponents.
Juventus’s Calendar
Juventus also faces an anything but easy final path. The Bianconeri will have to contend with Atalanta, Bologna, and Milan, in addition to the derby against Torino on the last day, which could turn into a real playoff for European spots. It will be essential to maintain consistent performance against high-caliber opponents, without any drops in form.
Atalanta’s Calendar
Atalanta, in turn, probably faces the most packed and demanding schedule. Matches against Lecce, Verona, Juventus, Roma, Lazio, Milan, and Bologna make up a path full of direct clashes and high-pressure games. This series of encounters can either definitively relaunch the Bergamaschi’s ambitions or irrevocably complicate their race, risking the loss of precious points.
Como’s Calendar
Finally, there’s Como, the true revelation of this final phase of the championship. The Lombard team, strong with the accumulated advantage, will, however, have to demonstrate the ability to handle pressure, a task that is not easy. The challenges against Inter and Napoli, combined with close fixtures against Udinese, Sassuolo, Genoa, Verona, Parma, and Cremonese, as well as the Coppa Italia, will say a lot about the mental and physical resilience of a group that has amazed everyone so far.
In this highly competitive scenario, even matches against less-fancied opponents can prove decisive. An unexpected draw or a defeat against a team fighting for salvation can overturn balances built over months of hard work. The feeling is that the race will proceed point by point until the last day. No team can feel safe, just as no one is truly out of the game. The line between Champions League qualification and a lower placement, up to the risk of even slipping out of the Conference League, is extremely thin. Roma is fully involved in this battle, with all cards still to play. But from now until the end, consistency, careful energy management, and, above all, the ability to withstand pressure will be indispensable. In such a tight race, a single misstep can transform a tangible dream into a lost opportunity.
