Fiorentina failed again in today match because they had to give up against Sassuolo. Even though this match was an opportunity for them to move up to 3rd place if they were able to win, they failed to do so. Meanwhile, for Bologna, they also failed to get full points in yesterday match, so the two teams below AC milan failed to take advantage of the opportunity to reduce their points gap this week. So for Fiorentina they are very focused on targeting a top 4 place as their target this season.
If Fiorentina fails again in the next match, it will give Atalanta, Roma and Napoli an opportunity to catch them. I think the competition is getting more interesting in Serie A because the instability of some teams will make the rankings change every week. For Inter milan, they are quite safe for now as leaders of the standings because they are 5 points ahead of Juventus.
Lost to Sassuola is a setback for Fiorentina. This gives a chance for Milan to widen points gap with them. Aiming a top 4 finish should be a realistic target for now. By consistently aiming for the higher positions in the league, they are positioning themselves for potential European competition, which is not only prestigious but also financially lucrative for the club. The instability of some teams and the potential for rankings to change weekly create an environment where every match is crucial, making Serie A being more exciting and competitive football leagues.
Fiorentina need to win their next games to avoid bigger pressure that comes from Bologna, Atalanta, Roma, and Napoli. The presence of strong competitors in the race for the top 4 spots adds intensity and intrigue to the league, as teams are constantly jockeying for position. Inter Milan leading the League comfortably showcases their current dominance in Serie A. Being 5 points ahead of Juventus provides them with a cushion, but it also underscores the need for other teams, including Fiorentina, to maintain consistency to keep pace.
