Serie A
Match
start: 20:45 (GMT+1)
The
names of three representatives of Calcio in the next Champions League
are already known. These are Juventus, Roma and Napoli. But the
matter is that according to the rules of the main tournament UEFA
into the main net only two best teams – the champion and the
vice-champion of Serie A – can get.
And
the 3rd
team every year has to go through the additional qualification that
will be held in August. And here the Italian clubs usually face great
problems.
One
successful qualification
2012.
Udinese (Italy) – Braga ( Portugal) – 2:2 (1:1, 1:1 and 4:5 during
penalty shots);
2013.
Milan (Italy) – PSV (Holland) – 4:1 (1:1 and 3:0);
2014.
Napoli (Italy) – Athletic Bilbao (Spain) – 2:4 (1:1 and 1:3);
2015.
Lazio (Italy) – Bayer (Germany) – 1:3 (1:0 and 0:3);
2016.
Roma
(Italy) – Porto (Portugal) – 1:4 (1:1 and 0:3).
As
we see, during last 5 years only Milan in August 2013 had managed to
pass through the qualification barrier. And especially devastating
was the latest fiasco of Roma at its home arena Stadio Olimpico
(0:3).
Minimal
chances of Azzurri
And
now exactly 2 matches prior to the end of the season the team of
Luciano Spalletti (the 2nd
line) is ahead of its main and the only one opponent (Napoli) with 1
point.
Juventus
– 85, Roma – 81, Napoli – 80 …
It
is natural that during the nearest home match against the underdog
Crotone the club from Turin will become the champion of Italy for the
6 time. The chances of Roma to return the vice-champion title during
two left matches against Chievo and Genoa are rather high …
Match
prediction
So,
Neapolitans will for sure take part into summer qualifiers for the
Champions League. But does the team of Maurizio Sarri have any
chances to fight for the title of the second team?
It
is obvious that Napoli during two left matches against Fiorentina and
Sampdoria (on the 28th
of May) has to win at least with the score 1:0 as in Italy the goal
difference between scored and missed goals is not essential. And Roma
also has to play in draw in one out of two its matches…
Napoli–
1,25, draw – 5,75, Fiorentina – 11,00;

tip: Both teams to score YES – odds 1.67 Bet365
