By db-admin

DBasia.news – The 2020-2021 Serie A already has a champion even though there are still four matches remaining. Inter Milan’s points are no longer likely to be pursued by competitors. Now, the most interesting part is in the competition for Champions League tickets.

As an opening, there are five clubs that have a chance to compete in the Champions League. The five clubs are Atalanta, Juventus, AC Milan, Napoli and Lazio.

Interestingly, of the five clubs, there will only be three teams representing Italy in the Champions League, plus Inter Milan. Then, how difficult are remaining matches of the five clubs.

At present, Atalanta, Juventus and AC Milan are in sequence. Interestingly, they both earned 69 points from 34 matches.

Then, Napoli are in fifth position with 67 points. Meanwhile, Lazio, which still has one game less, collected 64 points.

In the remaining four matches, Atalanta will play against Parma (T), Benevento (K), Genoa (T), AC Milan (K). Meanwhile, Juventus will meet Milan (K), Sassuolo (T), Inter Milan (K), Bologna (T).

On the other hand, Milan have a schedule to face Juventus (T), Torino (T), Cagliari (K), and Atalanta (T). Meanwhile, Napoli’s opponents are Spezia (T), Udinese (K), Fiorentina (T), Verona (K).

One other team, Lazio, have different conditions. Lazio will challenge five opponents namely Fiorentina (T), Parma (K), Roma (T), Torino (K), Sassuolo (T).

Judging from the potential opponents of the five clubs, Atalanta and Napoli have a more favorable schedule. Except for Milan, Atalanta is predicted to get the full three points against three other opponents. Meanwhile, when challenging Milan, La Dea will play as host.

Napoli will also no longer face big clubs. That way, the chances of Kalidou Koulibaly and his team mates to seal Champions League tickets are greater.

A difficult position for Milan and Juventus. Juve will still face the Milan duo and Sassuolo in away matches. Meanwhile, the Rossoneri opponents still have an interest in the rest of the league. An example is Cagliari who avoided the relegation zone.

Meanwhile, the biggest question for Lazio is the ability to maintain consistency. As there are still Fiorentina, Roma, Torino and Sassuolo that have the potential to thwart the perfect points.
