The race for the fourth position in the Italy Serie A table is wide open down to Torino who are occupying the 10th position in the Italy Serie A table. For now, Atalanta is leading AS Roma who are in the 5th position with 1 point, and Atalanta will lead AS Roma with a 4-point difference if they win their outstanding.
The rankings from the top four to the top ten in the Italian Serie A standings still have the potential to experience quite significant changes, considering that the competition for points is very close and quite tight for each team. And in this case I am excluding AS Roma who have played their 22nd match this season, while the other eight teams have not yet played their 22nd match this season so there is the potential for a very significant change in position in the midfield standings in this weekend.
The points gap that is still close together like this, of coure will certainly be very interesting for the struggle for 1 position in the top four. Because ya, teams like Atalanta, AS Roma, Fiorentina, Lazio and Napoli at this moment have at least the same quality and chance to be in the top four . But even so, I think Atalanta will also still be able to work well to be able to maintain its position in the top four . But indeed, if I remember the previous seasons, the reality is that Atalanta always failed to be able to maintain their good position and will only end in the middle of the standings. So ya, it is interesting to look forward to, whether Atalanta will succeed or will still to fail like previous seasons.
The Italy Serie A league is competitive this season, so many clubs are competing to be in the UEFA Champions League next season, while Juventus is putting pressure on Inter Milan at the top of the Italy Serie A table. Yes, I agree with you that Atalanta is supposed to finish in the fourth position sometimes in Italy Serie A, but they failed to do that. If AS Roma and Napoli continue to have a poor performance in Italy's Serie A, Atalanta might end up qualifying for next year's UEFA Champions League because other clubs who are also challenging for the position pose no serious threat.
