Fiery Struggle for Champions League Spots in Italy with Two Rounds Remaining

The competition in the Italian league is heating up with only two rounds left until the end of the season, as the points are very close between several clubs in the race for qualification to the Champions League.

Napoli leads this race in second place with 70 points, followed by Juventus with 68 points, then Milan and Roma each with 67 points, while Como is still in the picture with 65 points.

The regulations of the Italian league state that in the event of a tie, the decision is made first through head-to-head matches, then the goal difference in those matches, followed by the overall goal difference, then the number of goals scored, and finally, a draw may be used if the tie persists between only two teams in European positions.

In the event of a tie between more than one team, a "mini-league" ranking is adopted among the concerned teams, meaning only the results of direct encounters between them are considered to determine the final standings. This adds complexity to the calculations at this critical stage of the season.

According to the current situation, Napoli, Juventus, and Milan are in positions qualifying for the Champions League, while Roma is heading to the Europa League. Meanwhile, Como is nearing the playoff spots for the UEFA Europa Conference League, with all possibilities remaining open until the final round.
