For Napoli it will already be a great feat to reach sixth position this season, considering that they still have 13 matches to play but still have to face Juventus, Inter, Atalanta, Roma, Fiorentina and Bologna, so to achieve what you think, Napoli should first everything to win against these teams who are in better positions than Napoli and not lose against Sassuolo, Torino, Monza, Frosinone, Udinese, Lecce, Empoli
It was some careless defending that made Napoli conceive that late equalizer. Angolan winger Zito Luvumbo was been marked by two Napoli defenders who were not well-coordinated which made him grab that late goal. Napoli still has the opportunity to get a Champions League slot if they can improve under coach Francesco Calzona. The club should do more in the defense and the midfield is becoming less creative which has led to a reduction of goal-scoring opportunities. The club will be more focused on the Champions League because it is more important based on prestige and financial benefits.

Of course yeah, they can achieve one of those three positions that you said above, only if they can try their possible best to win their rest matches. We shouldn't also forget that those clubs ahead of Napoli, apart from Lazio and Fiorentina, it will be hard for Napoli to take over from Roma and Bolonga. We can see that since De Rossi took over from Mourinho, the club has been coming up with good performance by winning matches, which make it difficult for Napoli.Napoli can finally be on the 7th position, because it will be easy for them to be ahead of Lazio and Fiorentina. However, Napoli's performance this season has been very poor compare to what I expected from them as the defending champions, which make me to still be in doubt if Napoli will be able to play and win more games than the ones that they will lose and draw in total. The new coach this season is not that competent for the job.
The new coach that Napoli has this season has not been able to match Spalletti's achievements, who succeeded in bringing big changes to Napoli's performance. And yes, this is quite normal. Because all coaches definitely need time to really understand a team.
There is no longer any talk of defending the trophy, Osimhen star aura is slowly fading, Napoli is sinking and turning into an average club after winning the Scudetto last season. The European zone seems increasingly difficult to achieve, if they fail to get full points again in the postponed match against Sassuolo, then Torino and Monza will kick them out of the top 10 of the standings.
Napoli next five matches in Serie A, Calzona fleet will face Sassuolo, Juventus, Torino, Inter and Atalanta. I think Napoli will lose points again when facing other big clubs, that is the most difficult period towards the end of the season. Meanwhile, in the Champions League, Napoli chances of winning at home to Barcelona are very low, Calzona cannot bring Napoli back up as De Laurentiis hopes.
That's true, but regarding the opportunity to enter the top 4 of the standings, these three teams still have the same chance.
There are 12 games left this season so with only a small point difference anything is still possible.
Bologna, Atalanta and As Roma have equal strength so the question is which team can maintain its consistency until the end of the season to ensure a ticket to the Champions League next season.
These three teams still have the opportunity to get 1 remaining ticket to the Champions League next season after the other 3 tickets are confirmed to belong to the big teams in Serie A. Bologna is the team that has the biggest opportunity because they are currently in fourth place in the standings. But they suffered defeat against Cagliari in January. This means they can still underperform for several matches. AS Roma will have to fight hard if they want to get a ticket to the Champions League. I think As Roma have a little chance here. I predict they will return to playing in the European league next season. AS Roma will compete with Atalanta for the European league and Atalanta will compete with Bologna for the champions league. I see that is the exact situation that is happening for now.There are 12 games left this season so with only a small point difference anything is still possible.

Roma 3 - 2 Torino
In my opinion, Roma's new coach is doing an excellent job, he managed to greatly improve the team's performance, even though he wasn't the one who signed all the team's players, when he became Roma's coach, all the players were already at Roma. , what he is doing is managing to deal with the situation he encountered in the best possible way, something that is not an easy task, but even so he is managing to obtain good results, I think that if Roma's management hire him for the long term and he manages make some changes in defense then roma would become a team capable of fighting for the title. Mourinho was playing the same way as Juventus, he favored defense over attack and this could have meant that the team conceded fewer goals, but they also had difficulties in attacks and certain signings made by Mourinho were also not good.

Yeah, agreed, another thing I have to say it was a great performance from Dybala.
He got his hat trick and his hat trick was the reason why Roma was able to get three points from this match.
By the way, not all good they have made some mistakes too, Roma also missed a lot of easy chances.
Towards the start of the match in the 8th minute I believe Roma missed a golden opportunity when they hit the bar.
Whatever, at the end of the day, they got three points and that's what matters.
Actually, they will have to train better to defend corners. They are not doing well to deny aerial threats.
Of course, the defending has to be better from Roma if they want to improve their standing on the table. Still very much possible for Roma to finish in the top four.
That's true, but regarding the opportunity to enter the top 4 of the standings, these three teams still have the same chance.

These three teams still have the same chance, Bologna and Atalanta next week, one of them will have to lose points because the two teams will face each other. Meanwhile, As Roma will face a weak team, namely Monza, so you can be sure that Roma will have the opportunity to overtake Atalanta, even if Atalanta manages to beat Bologna, the difference in points between the three teams will be one. I personally hope AS Roma can penetrate the UCL this season.
Fiorentina vs Lazio. Fiorentina team scored 2 goals in today's match. Lazio team scored 1 goal. In the match between the two teams that happened today, I supported Lazio team but Lazio team did not play well. Both teams were almost at the same position in the points table. Fiorentina team is in 7th position and Lazio team is in 7th position. In the 8th position. If Lazio team could have scored 2 goals in the season match, it would have been a draw but Lazio team could not do that.
even though Lazio was the first to score a goal in this match. But we have to admit that Fiorentina did play much better than Lazio. Fiorentina even managed to create many good opportunities. And unfortunately they don't use it well. Meanwhile, Lazio had quite a difficult time building attacks in this match. Because I think the defense built by Fiorentina looks much better than the defense built by Lazio. So Lazio's defeat was not that surprising. However, this result could also be a sign that Lazio might also lose in the second leg of the UCL last 16 when they visit Bayern's headquarters.At least, Fiorentina managed to avenge the defeat in their first meeting this season because after all, in the head to head record also at least Lazio had good dominance against Fiorentina . Also,at least Lazio still managed to scorefirst in this match, so basically Lazio still has a chance not to lose by Fiorentina. But ya, because maybe Lazio also still needs to make better preparations for the match in the Champion League then ya, maybe that factor makes Lazio unable to maintain the 1-0 score they got in the first half . Because anyway, after Lazio took the lead with a score of 1-0, the fact is that Fiorentina can dominate the match very well, until finally Fiorentina managed to turn things around and managed to beat Lazio after five meetings in Serie A always failed.
Napoli has chances of climbing up if they win consistently till the end of season, seeing there maybe not less than 12matches left to play. Osimhen was on point for them in their last match as they won and if Bologna and the teams withing the top from 5th - 8th position losses or draws further, we might see a rearrangment of the table with Napoli either finishing 4, 5th or 6th possibly.
Of course yeah, they can achieve one of those three positions that you said above, only if they can try their possible best to win their rest matches.

However, this result could also be a sign that Lazio might also lose in the second leg of the UCL last 16 when they visit Bayern's headquarters.
Lazio really looks very fragile this season in Serie A. And this has been happening since the start of this season. Even in the first leg of the UCL round of 16, I didn't expect Lazio to beat Bayern. Even Bayern didn't have a shot on target in that match. And this is actually due to the good defense that Lazio managed to build.I'm also confused about how Maurizio Sarri's squad managed to beat Bayern in the first leg of the UCL round of 16. But I'm also not surprised to see Lazio lose to Fiorentina. Because as you said, Fiorentina's defense is actually still better than Lazio's defense. But for UCL I still can't underestimate Lazio. Because last season we saw a surprise with the number of teams from Serie A who managed to qualify from the round of 16. And history could repeat itself.

Roma is currently in fifth place in the serie A league; Atlanta is in fourth place and leads Roma by two points. I think Roma can catch up to Atlanta and take advantage of this position to qualify for the champions league the following season, but it will depend on how seriously they take their play through the end of the season. If they don't, it will be very difficult for them to do so.
Sorry, friend, I correct that As Roma is currently still perched in 6th place in the Serie A class, it is true that AS Roma and Atalanta are only 2 points apart, but AS Roma's job to enter the Europa League zone is that they have to at least shift Atalanta and Bologna, the two These clubs are equally strong, even though Atalana will host Inter Milan, at least the match hasn't started yet and we don't yet know the results of the Inter Milan vs Atalanta match. If Atalanta suffers a defeat then AS Roma will definitely move up to 5th in the standings, but if AS Roma is able to get full points in the match against Monza..There are 12 games left this season so with only a small point difference anything is still possible.
Bologna, Atalanta and As Roma have equal strength so the question is which team can maintain its consistency until the end of the season to ensure a ticket to the Champions League next season.
Bologna and Atalanta have amazing momentum right now or otherwise I would have said that Roma is on a great way to make it into the top 4, but they have to wait for Atalanta and Bologna to make mistakes. It is actually quite rare that teams in the positions 4 and 5 are so incredibly consistent, but well, hats off to both of them and especially Bologna.
De Rossi has certainly had a positive effect thus far. It is definitely an effect that they were hoping for as they are now good enough to at least keep the chance alive that they can make it into the top 4. I think some weeks ago they would have been happy if someone said they would qualify for the Europa League, but now they can look at the top 4 again, which is quite an achievement.
The top of the standings are boring now. I didn't think that Juventus Turin would suddenly suck that hard. It's a nightmare for Juventus but also for the whole league. Inter Milan is on a different level this season.

Atalanta have one more game in hand and can return to the top 4 if they win. Roma also has a chance, but let's look at their position relative to Bolgni, they are behind them by 4 points, but that's not that much, and considering how Roma has looked in recent matches, I think they can do it. At least for now, it’s unexpected to see Bologna in fourth place, and I still like Atalanta more. As for Roma, let's see how long the team will get enough positive from the change of coach. There are 12 games left this season so with only a small point difference anything is still possible.

--cut--
Lazio's gameplay has declined. They performed very poorly in the awya match. On the other hand, the entire match was dominated by Fiorentina's players. I thought Fiorentina would win by a big margin. But Lazio's defenders and goalkeeper played well enough. If not, the Lazio team would have conceded several more goals in this match.

I definitely agree with what you say, both about Fiorentina but above all about Lazio.
Let`s say that this team is not very consistent, it has some bursts of quality that quickly fade away. Which is obviously a shame, he could do better if he were consistent. If they want win something.
Napoli has chances of climbing up if they win consistently till the end of season, seeing there maybe not less than 12matches left to play. Osimhen was on point for them in their last match as they won and if Bologna and the teams withing the top from 5th - 8th position losses or draws further, we might see a rearrangment of the table with Napoli either finishing 4, 5th or 6th possibly.
Well, this could still happen with the remaining matches this season. But the problem is that if Napoli remains as it is now then I think Napoli will even have difficulty rising above its current ranking.You also know that Cagliari is not a strong enemy. In fact, currently Cagliari is ranked 19th, which means Cagliari is one of the teams that is struggling to get out of the relegation zone. And this also explains that Cagliari is quite weak in Serie A. In fact, I doubt they can last much longer in Serie A. They have just been promoted but will probably be immediately relegated. And it was really disappointing to see Napoli held to a draw by Cagliari.
For me, Napoli being able to stay in its current ranking is already good enough. Because in fact, if Napoli is careless then they could also fall out of the top 10 this season.
