Stefano Impallomeni, a journalist and former footballer, shared his views with TMW Radio regarding the intense competition for fourth place in the Serie A championship. The race is incredibly tight, with Juventus, Roma, and Lazio all currently tied on 63 points, closely followed by Bologna with 62 and Fiorentina on 59 points. Here are his comments on the situation:
“When there is so much on the line, simultaneous matches are truly needed. I understand the television requirements, but nonetheless… Lazio versus Juventus and Atalanta versus Roma are absolutely fundamental fixtures. The teams that secure wins in these games will essentially find themselves in a `final` for the position. If both matches were to conclude in draws, Juventus would be in a more favourable situation. Atalanta currently possesses an advantage, but they must be cautious and not take unnecessary risks.”
