Gasperini admits Juventus has to make a mistake for his Roma team to catch them

Juventus are no longer comfortably ahead of AS Roma in the race for a top-four finish in Serie A after their recent draw against Hellas Verona reduced the gap between the two clubs.

The Bianconeri had an opportunity to strengthen their position but failed to secure maximum points, allowing Roma to remain firmly involved in the battle for Champions League qualification. However, Juve did beat Lecce at the weekend to strengthen their position within the top four.

With only a limited number of fixtures remaining this season, every dropped point is becoming increasingly significant for both sides as pressure continues to build across the closing weeks of the campaign.

Roma continue pressure on Juventus

Roma are determined to make the most of their remaining matches and understand that winning consistently is essential if they are to overtake Juventus in the standings. However, even if Roma collect maximum points from their remaining fixtures, they still require Juventus to drop points in order to move above them in the table.

Juventus recognise they should already be in a more secure position, but also understand there is now little margin for error. The team must continue winning matches if they want to avoid complications and secure qualification for next season’s Champions League.

Roma will continue monitoring Juventus closely during the final weeks, hoping the Bianconeri make another costly mistake that could reopen the race even further and potentially change the outcome of the top four battle entirely.
