The 2023/24 Serie A season has entered the final round of the final battle, although the Serie A championship of this season has been announced five rounds in advance, there are still two major suspense waiting to be solved, one is the suspense of Champions League qualification, due to Atalanta winning the Europa League, whether Serie A will be five teams in the Champions League next season or six teams will depend on Atalanta's final position in Serie A. In addition, in terms of relegation, Empoli, Udinese and Frosinone will fight for relegation.

The final round of Serie A is not like previous seasons, 10 games are played at the same time, that is because the suspense of the championship has been solved in advance, Inter Milan and AC Milan locked the league championship and runner-up in advance, even if Juventus wins in the last round, it will have to depend on the results of the last two rounds of Atalanta to determine the final position, and the fourth place in the league is not guaranteed. Now the whole of Serie A is looking at Atalanta's final standings.

Due to the expansion of the Champions League next season, Serie A has won 5 Champions League places with its excellent record in Europe this season, and Atalanta has just defeated Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final to win the Europa League, according to the rules, the Europa League winner will automatically get a Champions League place, if Atalanta finally ranks 5th in Serie A, then Atalanta will enter the Champions League with the Europa League title, not occupy 5 Champions League places in Serie A, and Roma, ranked 6th, will be postponed to get a Champions League place.

Atalanta have two games left, at home to Torino and at home to Fiorentina, and if Atalanta win both games, they will overtake Juventus to reach the top four of the league, so that only five teams in Serie A can play in the Champions League, and Roma can only play in the Europa League. However, if Atalanta finish fifth in Serie A, then Roma will be lucky enough to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Juventus's opponent in the last round is Monza, coach Allegri has been officially announced in advance to leave next season, although Juventus won the Italian Cup, but in Serie A it suffered 6 consecutive draws, the last 10 rounds of league draws 8 games, the closing stage of the season, Juventus has no fighting spirit, not only the second position in the league is lost, even the fourth position is threatened by Atalanta, it is estimated that Juventus does not have much desire to win in the final round.

Roma have already secured sixth place in the league ahead of schedule, and now Roma will have to pray that Atalanta will be able to finish fifth in the league without a win in the final two rounds, so that Roma can be lucky enough to qualify for next season's Champions League. Fiorentina are ranked 8th, but as long as they win the UEFA Cup, they will be able to qualify for next season's Europa League. The biggest suspense in the remaining round is relegation.

In terms of relegation, Salernitana and Sassuolo were both relegated early, Empoli is third from bottom with 33 points, Udinese has 34 points, Frosinone has 35 points, and Empoli, Udinese and Frosinone are fighting for relegation. In the final round, Empoli played Roma at home, with Frosinone and Udinese going head-to-head. Empoli will only have to win Roma to be relegated, while Frosinone will be able to survive relegation against Udinese if they remain unbeaten. These two relegation battles will be played at the same time.

Empoli urgently needs to grab points and relegation, Roma has no desire, but Empoli has suffered 9 consecutive defeats against Roma, as long as Enpoli wins at home, regardless of the outcome of Frosinone and Udinese, they will be relegated, otherwise Empoli will be relegated. This season's Serie A relegation battle will continue until the last minute.
