What’s at stake in the final two weeks of the Serie A season?

Vincenzo Italiano’s side got off to a red-hot start via Federico Bernadeschi before doubling the lead via another ex-Juve winer (Riccardo Orsolini), only for Napoli to score twice on either side of the break.

However, Jonathan Rowe’s injury-time goal would see Bologna prevail 3-2 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Whilst Inter Milan have already wrapped up the league title, and whilst Pisa and Hellas Verona have already been sent packing to Serie B, there is still plenty to play for with just two games remaining. Over at the bottom of the table, Cremonese occupy the final relegation spot, sitting one point behind Lecce and six behind Cagliari.

Over at the top, meanwhile, there is a heated battle for European football taking place. As a result of Serie A teams’ underperformance in Europe, only seven Italian teams will qualify for UEFA competitions next season. The top four teams in Serie A will book their ticket for the UEFA Champions League, whilst the next two sides and the Coppa Italia winners will qualify for the UEFA Europa League, and the next-best team will advance to the preliminary round of qualifying in the UEFA Conference League.

With just two matches remaining, Napoli currently sit second in the table, 15 points behind Inter and two points above Juventus. Juve, meanwhile, sit one point above AC Milan and Roma and three above Como, who have guaranteed their maiden European qualification. Como, for their part, sit seven points above Atalanta, 13 above Bologna, 14 above Lazio, and 15 above Udinese.
