In order to play Champions League football next season, Juventus must win the remaining games against Milan and Udinese, hoping Roma and Atalanta don’t do the same in the last two matches of the campaign and the Rossoneri don’t beat Hellas Verona.
The Bianconeri collapsed at Empoli on Monday night, losing 4-1 at the Stadio Castellani. Players had been informed about a 10-point deduction minutes before kick-off.
On paper, they could have still qualified for the Champions League by winning the remaining three matches, but the heavy defeat in Tuscany means they need six points in the last two games of the season and hope their competitors don’t do the same.
Juventus will host Milan at the Allianz Stadium this coming Sunday before visiting Udinese at the Dacia Arena in the final game of 2022-23.
Milan currently sit fourth in the table with 64 points, three more than Atalanta, four more than Roma and five above Juventus.
Stefano Pioli’s men will play Hellas Verona at San Siro in the last game of the season. Milan beat Juventus 2-0 at San Siro in October, so if Juventus win by one goal on Sunday, the Rossoneri can draw against Verona in the final game of the season and qualify for the Champions League if they finish level on points with the Bianconeri.
If Juventus win by more than two goals against Milan, they’ll force the Rossoneri to win against Verona to qualify for the Champions League, provided Juve beat Udinese.
Roma will visit Fiorentina at the Stadio Franchi in the next league game and then Spezia at home. In between, the Giallorossi will play the Europa League Final against Sevilla.
Atalanta will play Inter away and Monza at home in the last two games of the campaign.
