Interestingly, because Juventus lost their last game, now Como is close to even Europa as well, they could get one more win when Juventus loses and they will be at fifth place which would be Europa league levels for next season.
Since there are still some good chances of finishing in a better position than the one they currently occupy, this could start with this round that begins today, for example:
- Roma, currently in 4th place, will play against Milan. In this game, Roma risks dropping points (either a loss or a draw).
- Juventus, currently in 5th place, will play against Napoli. In this game, Juventus risks dropping points (either a loss or a draw).
Meanwhile, Como will play against Torino, who haven't won in 3 consecutive games. Therefore, Como has a better chance of winning and moving up to 5th place, getting very close to 4th.
I still would suggest conference league though, because for a team that will be in European competitions for the first time ever, then I would suggest the lowest place to start, and grow gradually in order to perform better, and Europa league would be too hard for them.
It's not about performance, but about how much money Como can earn in the European Champions League or Europa League if they qualify that makes it more important for them to fight for those access positions to those two competitions. The conference league would give less money to Como's coffers.
