Italian teams have fared well in the Europa League this season, with both Napoli and Fiorentina reaching the semi-finals of the competition. Now that winning the tournament offers a direct route through to the following season’s Champions League, it is seen as a potentially lucrative opportunity rather than a tiring chore.
With four fixtures remaining, the top four in Serie A appears settled. Juventus have been crowned champions, while Roma, Lazio and Napoli are set to battle it out for the two Champions League berths beneath the Bianconeri. One of those three will miss out and thus end up in one of the three Europa League berths.
The other two Europa League spots are up for grabs, however. Just four points separate Fiorentina in fifth from Torino in ninth, with Sampdoria, Genoa and Inter Milan squeezed between them. It makes for a fascinating end to the season.
Here I will analyse all five teams’ chances of earning a place in next season’s Europa League. The assessment will be based on four areas:
Coach: quality of their coach and performance of their coach thus far this season.
Players: quality of their players, including potential match-winners.
Form: How have they been performing of late?
Fixtures: What games do they have left to play?
