Roma hold narrow advantage at Serie A summit
AS Roma occupy top spot in Serie A after five rounds of fixtures, though their position at the head of the table carries no cushion whatsoever.
The club lead on points alone, with at least one rival level with them, meaning the smallest slip could hand the advantage elsewhere.
A tight picture
With the gap at zero points, Roma's position is more a reflection of secondary standings criteria than any clear separation from the chasing pack.
Every fixture from here carries extra weight, as a single dropped point could be enough to shift the league's summit to another club.
