With three matches remaining in the 2025/26 Serie A season, five clubs are locked in a battle for the three remaining Champions League spots. Napoli hold a six-point cushion in fifth place and are considered favourites to secure qualification, while Milan and Juventus occupy the top four but face mounting pressure. Roma sit just one point behind fourth-placed Juventus and have momentum on their side, winning three of their last four league games.
Gian Piero Gasperini's Roma appear well-positioned to challenge for a top-four finish for the first time since 2017/18. Their remaining fixtures—Parma, the Derby della Capitale against Lazio, and Verona—are considered manageable, though they depend partly on results elsewhere. Como remain in contention three points behind Juventus despite recent struggles. Juventus, despite an unbeaten run of nine games, drew with already-relegated Verona last weekend, leaving their qualification hopes fragile with matches against Lecce, Fiorentina, and Torino remaining.
Napoli must navigate a tricky schedule featuring Bologna, Pisa, and Udinese, though two of those matches come at home. Milan have hit a rough patch with three defeats in their last five, though fixtures against Atalanta, Genoa, and Cagliari offer recovery opportunities. The title was already won by Inter last weekend.
