The race for Serie A’s Champions League positions table took a major turn when Como beat Juventus 2-0 at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday afternoon, but which of the four teams currently contesting for fourth place have the toughest set of remaining fixtures between now and the end of the season?
As things stand, Roma are currently in fourth place and could move four points clear of Juventus if they beat Cremonese on Sunday. There are still 12, or in some cases 13 matches of the Serie A season left to play, and with Como and Atalanta both in respectable form, there is still a lot left to play for before the end of the campaign.
According to the average difficulty rating of the remaining fixtures, it is Juventus who have the ‘easiest’ run-in of any of the teams ranked from fourth to seventh. That is largely because they have already played against league leaders Inter, twice, and third-place Napoli home and away as well. Their toughest remaining fixture on paper is their away trip to face 2nd-placed Milan on April 26.

Of the teams competing for the top four, current fourth-place holders Roma have the second-easiest run-in on paper. They still have to take on Inter in San Siro and also face a huge, direct clash against Juventus at the Stadio Olimpico on March 1.
Como are back in the mix for the top four positions after defeating Juventus on Saturday, but still have a series of tough home games left to play, including matches against Inter, Napoli and Roma.
Of the teams competing for the Champions League spots, it is Atalanta who have the toughest set of remaining fixtures. La Dea still have to face Inter, Milan and Roma away from home, and also still have home matches against Napoli and Juventus left to play.
