Roma and Lazio and also Atalanta are very competitive teams this year and Milan will have to fight against them until the end of the championship, yesterday Milan were a bit lucky because Roma didn't go beyond a 1-1 draw against the Lecce and Lazio lost to Atalanta now in third place tied on points are Atalanta Rome and Milan so this is the standings
3-Atalanta 41
4-Roma 41
5-Milan 41
6-Lazio 39
7-Torino 30
The fight for fourth place is getting very tough for Milan Roma and Atalanta, the Milan-Atalanta match will take place on February 26, overtaking them in the standings will be played
I think that intermilan's position can't also be considered a safe position too. It must be added to the list. Almost all of them were also having a very small gap of points. One loss will make another club able to surpass it. Intermilan is now only collecting 43 points. it's only 2 points away from a competitor below it. A single match will be able to surpass intermilan as long as intermilan will be lost. That's pretty interesting how napoli was making so many competitors were strictly competing for the UCL position. Those clubs were still trying to catch top 2-4 until the end of seasons.
There are not safe zones for the club below napoli.
I omitted Inter from the standings by pure mistake, they are not in a safe position in the standings and I have said it several times in this thread that they are competing for a place in the top 4 for access to the Champions League, tonight they will play against Sampdoria in Marassi, if they win they will maintain a gap of 5 points from Roma Atalanta and Milan, if they lose they will still remain second in the standings but see the gap from Napoli lengthen, which is now projected to win Serie A
I don't think it is relevant to add Torino to the list. They are too far from top six and likely won't be able to compete for a position in top 6, not in top 4 for sure.
After yesterday with a draw from AS Roma, a win for Atalanta and a loss for Lazio, three clubs have same 41 total points are Atalanta, AS Roma and AC Milan. They are not far from Inter Milan at the second position with 43 points (and have one match to play) as well don't have big gap against Lazio. Together, those clubs are making a very hot and exciting race to top four. Even Inter Milan are not safe at the second position as well as a position in top four.
With bad results for clubs from 3rd to 6th positions, if Inter Milan get a bad result and Napoli get another win in this match day, Serie A trophy (Scudetto) should be awarded to Napoli months before the season ending.
I have included Torino because they are the last team competing for a place in Europe, seventh place in Serie A gives them access to the conference league, they are still 9 points behind Lazio who are sixth in the standings and do not have a reassuring advantage 100% certain that I am sure that Torino will not go beyond seventh place. In any case, I agree with you if Inter lose tonight, they slip to -16 from Napoli and the championship, as you say, will end months earlier, but I want to hope that Inter may be able to reopen the championship and see a more engaging Serie A until end of championship. what do you think about it?
