I believe a biggest competitor of Napoli in this race will be Roma which have more experience in top four racing and Roma are on fire with De Rossi too.
Everyone probably knows that Napoli is in a bad period so we can't expect much from this club, even though last season Napoli gave a surprise to the Serie A clubs, that doesn't mean they will be rampant in controlling the match. In fact, it is very clear that AS Roma has an attraction. of all people, when De Rossi was appointed as Roma's new coach and this capital club showed significant changes in the several matches they have played so far, the positive value of De Rossi's figure can change all of AS Roma's games and can even be said to live with his cold hands. , so it is very difficult if Napoli is a strong candidate in the fight for 4th place at this time..
Maybe more precisely, Napoli will only get another place in European competitions such as in the European league or conference league and that is not the Champions League. If we talk about the Champions League, it is very difficult for Napoli, especially considering that the competition is increasing so they don't have the opportunity to do so. Just look at Roma, Bologna and Atalanta, it will be very difficult for Napoli to get past those three teams.
Yes, it is true that a difference of 8 points from 4th place in the standings will make it very difficult for Napoli to enter the top 4 of the final SerieA standings.
considering that the teams above Napoli Bologna, Roma and Atalanta are consistent in terms of performance so it will be difficult to get past them in the standings, even though this week Bologna could lose to Inter, Roma will have difficulty facing Fiorentina and Atalanta could also. lost to Juventus considering they are all playing away, except Bologna who will host Inter, but we all know Inter is a consistent team and is hard to beat this season even though they are playing away.
In fact, this is an opportunity for Napoli to get closer to Atalanta, provided that Atalanta loses to Juventus and Napoli wins against Torino.
Yes, I agree, playing in the Europa League is a more sensible option than playing in the Champions League next season for Napoli
