Juventus sit sixth in the Serie A table after a 2-0 loss against Fiorentina on Sunday, so the Bianconeri won’t only need a win in the final round against Torino, but also hope for favourable results from Milan, Como and Roma to qualify for the Champions League

Juventus’ hopes of qualifying for the 2026-27 Champions League are slim following a 2-0 defeat to Fiorentina in their final home game of the season on Sunday.

What do Juventus need to qualify for 2026-27 Champions League?

Luciano Spalletti’s men are now sixth in the standings, level on 68 points with Como, but below the Azzurri due to head-to-head record.

Juventus will visit Torino in the last game of the season next weekend, when they’ll be forced to cope without Gleison Bremer, who was one yellow card away from suspension before the Fiorentina game and was booked against the Tuscans.

Juventus are two points below Milan and Roma, who sit third and fourth respectively, both with 70 points.

This means Juventus will need to beat Torino next weekend to qualify for the Champions League and hope Milan, Roma and Como don’t win their final game.

Juventus have a better head-to-head record against Roma, which would allow them to finish ahead of the Giallorossi if they end up with the same number of points.

The head-to-head record against Milan is level, but Juventus currently have a better goal difference, +27 to +19.

As mentioned above, the H2H with Como is favourable to the Azzurri, meaning Juve need to earn one more point than Cesc Fabregas’ men to finish ahead of them in the standings.
