Champions League race: Remaining Como, Juventus and Roma fixtures compared
Three points separate three teams competing for one spot in the Serie A top four with nine matches of the season left to go, but which of Como, Juventus or Roma has the ‘easiest’ run of fixtures remaining between now and the end of the 2025-26 campaign?
Juventus picked up a 1-0 victory away against Udinese on Saturday evening thanks to a lone goal from January signing Jeremie Boga, while Como beat Roma 2-1 at the Stadio Sinigaglia on Sunday evening, following the harsh 64th-minute dismissal of Giallorossi wing-back Wesley.
The weekend’s results means that Como currently occupy fourth place on 54 points, Juventus are in fifth on 53 points and Roma in sixth on 51.
In terms of the average league position of their remaining opponents, Juventus and Como have the same average of 11.89, which is marginally higher than the average league position of Roma’s upcoming opponents (12.11).
That said, Juventus are the only side of the three that are not involved in any cup competitions and only have Serie A to focus on.
Roma will take on Bologna at the Stadio Olimpico in the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 on Thursday evening, with the scores currently level at 1-1 at the halfway stage of the tie. The Giallorossi are the pre-match favourites given their home advantage and position in the Serie A table.
Como, meanwhile, will have to take on Inter in the second leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final in April, with the scores currently level at 0-0 after the first leg at the beginning of March.
