Roma continues to struggle to find the winning formula in decisive matches. Despite the optimism surrounding Gian Piero Gasperini's team, the last series of highly relevant matches has not produced satisfactory results: their friend has recorded only one victory in the last five matches, with three draws against Fenerbahce, Como and Inter, a defeat against Real Madrid and only one victory against Torino.
In 2025-2026 Gasperini's team had often been the weakest in derbies and high-profile matches, an element that prevented Roma from emerging as a real alternative to Inter. Chivu's performance, although not entirely in line with expectations, was also superior to that of the Giallorossi, but it was not enough to change the picture. With the arrival of the 2026-2027 season, the Como team are faced with a new challenge: the Italian champions were unable to exploit their numerical superiority, only managing to overcome a 2-0 deficit against Torino to gain a point.
The team has shown moments of brilliance, but the lack of results in key matches is a warning sign. Roma have always shown that they will not fail, but recent results indicate that the step forward needed to become a real threat to the Scudetto has not yet been taken. The technical management has received numerous compliments for its management, but the team has yet to prove that it can turn pressure into victories.
In order to overthrow the favorites and seriously compete for the title, Roma will need a more decisive change in key matches. The next calendar presents crucial matches: the derby against Inter, the match against Real Madrid and the matches against mid-table teams. If the team manages to capitalize on these opportunities, it will finally be able to transform its presence in Serie A into a real threat to the Scudetto.
