How much is the Conference League ratio for Italy?
Like other countries with UEFA's top five knockouts, Italy has only earned one Conference League allotment, Europe's third-tier competition starting next season, for the qualifying playoff phase.
Unlike England, which has two domestic cup competitions, Italy only hosts the Coppa Italia, the winner of which wins a Europa League ticket, so the Conference League rations will be determined by standings.
Who can get to the Conference League?
One Conference League ticket was contested by AS Roma and Sassuolo, who were separated by just two points. Head-to-head both teams are also evenly positioned both on points and goals, so if they have the same points the sorting is determined based on the overall goal difference.
Roma will earn a Conference League ticket if they win at home to Spezia regardless of Sassuolo's result. Roma also remains in the Conference League if a draw and Sassuolo fail to chase an overall goal difference of four goals. If Roma loses it remains in the Conference League as long as Sassuolo fails to win.
Sassuolo will go to the Conference League if they win against Lazio and in other matches, Roma loses. If Roma draws, Sassuolo must win by a margin of five goals or more.
