Roma find themselves in a challenging position. With 58 points, the Giallorossi currently sit in sixth place, a reflection of their recent performances.
They have managed to secure only two victories in their last nine matches.
Additionally, they have been eliminated from the Coppa Italia by Torino and from the Europa League by Bologna.

This string of disappointing results has not pleased the Friedkins.
A startling statistic is Roma’s point tally in the latter half of the season.
The club has garnered the same number of points as Lazio, Fiorentina, and Sassuolo, and even one less than Genoa. The fourth position seems increasingly out of reach, with Juventus five points ahead and winning the direct encounter.
However, as noted by Corriere della Sera, qualifying for the Europa League remains the minimum goal that the ownership is determined to achieve.
With the team still vying for a spot in European competition, the conclusion of this season will be pivotal for Roma’s future.
