The last few years have mentally drained Union, which has missed the title more than one season in a row. This season the fight for the title is out of the question. The gap from the leading Genk has become almost twofold: the club has 16 points, and 15 points to the first line. A big problem is seen in the attack – only 13 goals for 13 rounds of play. In its current state, the team will not get into the playoffs.
The change of head coach did not help Roma at all. Under Juric, the results of the team even worsened. In the Serie A standings, the team’s gap from the relegation zone is five points, and the gap from the top-4 is nine. Before the start of the season, Roma was perceived as one of the favorites for the Europa League, but now it will be hard for the team in its current state to even make the playoffs.
