Fabio Capello believes the upcoming Roma vs. Juventus match is decisive for the Bianconeri, though less so for the Giallorossi currently. The former coach told *La Gazzetta dello Sport* that fewer than 74 points will likely suffice for Champions League qualification due to the crowded standings.

Capello warned that a loss in Rome would likely plunge Roma seven points behind Napoli, making the race complicated. He also noted the unique burden of being the only team with two matches a week, requiring Gasperini to balance his squad carefully between European and domestic duties.
