From the current result in the serie standing compared to other seasons, there is a huge change in the points gap between the leading clubs at the top. There is a huge gap in the performance of the 3 known giant teams in series a (Napoli, AC Milan, and Juventus). Napoli seems to lead the table if a graph of performance percentages is plotted against the season. After the appeal, 15 points was added back to Juventus, yet they are still far away from the leading team at the top. This shows how good Napoli has been this season. I still wouldn't believe that Napoli could be 16 points above juventus in the series table.
After Juventus Turin got their points back, we are going to start off the weekend with two big games here. Atalanta has the most important game of the season against Roma because if they win it, everything will still be possible, but if they lose it there is no hope left for the Champions League qualifiers.
The other interesting game is Juventus against Napoli. For Juventus this would be a huge step towards securing their starting spot in the cl, but I am curious to see how Napoli is going to do after that tough loss against Milan. They are winning the title anyway, but are they going to show some character? I could understand if they kind of fall into a hole now, but I hope that they still know what they achieved and try to score the full 99 points that are still possible.

Verona success to win with score 2-1, now they have the same points with Spezia. The opening match of matchday 31 was quite exciting, Bologna gave three points to a team which is currently in the relegation zone. Statistically Bologna they are better but they lost, they could only scored in last minute. On the other side now Verona will also be more excited to get out of the relegation zone, but before that maybe they will expect Sampdoria win against Spezia which will be held tomorrow.
With the victory won by Verona, it is still difficult to make the club they own go up; they are still at number three from the bottom, so this must be an important evaluation for Verona's management to be better next season and be able to compete in the top ten. As long as they can work well as a team and control their emotions on the field, it will be easy to win. 
Lazio are still an unstoppable team in the league with a long-running impressive form. They are still unbeaten for so many weeks and I think they are about to add another victory to their winning streak of four games as well. They have a home game against Torino and they are highly favoured of course. But Lazio's odd is still higher than my expectation which is interesting on one hand.
Immobile's absence is bad for them maybe but still they are way stronger than Torino now. I think their current odd is just a good opportunity to take advantage of now.
Lazio's performance for Serie A is really very good and with the current conditions the Champions League zone is definitely in their hands, especially with the difference in points which is quite large at the moment.Immobile's absence is bad for them maybe but still they are way stronger than Torino now. I think their current odd is just a good opportunity to take advantage of now.
Win after win they continue to record for Serie A even if we look back at their statistics, Lazio lost last time in February against Atalanta and since then, they still haven't conceded a defeat yet.

I dont know why they hate Juventus so much. Chelsea broke fair play so much this season and yet no penalty. Juventus will win this for sure but they still need to get extra points for safe reasons if they deduct those points again. I think they will deduct if they dont have enough for cl
Because they still want to create the Superlega against Ceferin.
And Cefering just promoted Gravina (the president of the Seria A) to vice president of UEFA after going hard against Juventus.
They already did in 2006 relegating them to Serie B with an illegal process and they are trying to do the same right now.
Roma are still in a really good position in the league now after Juventus' punishment has been overturned. They are only three points behind Juventus and still in top 4. They are still in a more advantageous situation than Inter and Milan now and they had better benefit from this situation. Their recent form has been quite impressive as they are on a winning streak of three matches now.
Their next match can be a little challenging though. Because it is an away one versus Atalanta and I remember that Atalanta defeated them already by 1-0 away. Roma will need to play more carefully this time to not get a similar result here. Recently they are already better than Atalanta in terms of performance. Mourinho's system is working great and we are seeing its example in the Europa League too. Even though they aren't favourite team I still don't expect them to lose this one.
The match between Rome and Atalanta is an interesting match to watch because Atalanta has a 7 point difference from AS Roma who are in 3rd place with 56 points. This will be Atalanta's chance to stop Roma's three consecutive wins. On the other hand, AS Roma will also try to win and get full points so that its position is more secure from the pursuit of AC Milan and Inter Milan and to remain in the top 4 positions.Their next match can be a little challenging though.

I think Mourinho will set a strategy to be able to bring his team to win in this week's meeting with Atalanta, 3 points is the main goal to secure their position because In the 7th week ago, Atalanta won 1-0 at home to Roma. Atalanta won thanks to a single goal from Giorgio Scalvini in the 35th minute. Maybe it will be difficult to win playing as a guest at home to Atalanta, but there is no other way to avoid being chased by Intermilan and Milan besides winning against Atalanta. My prediction is Rome will win with a narrow score of 1 - 2

Since when chelsea broke FFP rules? Todd boehly was just buying a lot of players in the last transfer season and chelsea has already committed to sell so many players. The problem is there are so many shady things that may be done by juventus. I meant these problems happened in the past. It's not even matched to be compared with another club like chelsea. There will always be haters who hate any clubs at this moment. You can't even sure if your favorite club didn't have haters. it's not something wrong. As long as juventus has proven if it was not violating the rules and the sanction can be restored anytime, like when juventus got its 15 points back again. Juventus becomes the primary concern by serie a. It's good that the deducted points are already restored again. It's likely that if juventus will be qualified for UCL next season. I see no problem for juventus this time. The team can keep continue to win any game until the end of season to be qualified for UCL very soon.
Verona 1 - Bologna in a long first half extra time, thanks to a VAR checked penalty.

The decision was quite favorable for Juventus, considering that they had difficulty breaking into the top 4, but with the lifting of the penalty, Juventus returned to the top 4. Apart from that, Juventus got fresh air to take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen their ranking until the end of this season.
It is not over yet, Juventus may have another penalty next month.
It is a war between Juventus and UEFA for the Superlega and Ceferin/Gravina now vicepresident of EUFA, you can guess why he has been promoted.

2 clubs for the Europa League semi-finals and 2 clubs for the Champions League semi-finals is definitely the best achievement for Serie A at the moment. Now the conditions are very good to watch, especially for the Europa League, because for them it is possible to be in the final.
But on the other hand, for Serie A, now it's like a joke, which is happening right now, because now, with Juventus returning to the point at this time, it's like their rules are now being questioned, is the law really that blunt for a case?

Allegri can of course breathe a sigh of relief after the suspension of their squad was lifted which allowed him to be calmer for the upcoming matches. whereas for teams that were ranked in the top 4 before, of course this became a great pressure after Juventus returned to the top 4 like ac milan, of course they have to look for victory after victory to be able to return to the top 4.
Napoli and Juventus have a match ahead, in this match I think Napoli have a chance to secure victory. Because the Napoli team is in great performance, while the Juventus team is doing well, I think it will be very difficult for Juventus to win against Napoli.
yesterday was a good day for juventus because they managed to win an appeal from curva sud, facing Napoli later is really an important thing for juventus, they are working hard to collect as many points as possible so they can at least stop at a high ranking, while Napoli are definitely struggling to strengthen their mentality because they failed to qualify for the semifinals of the UCL after failing to beat Milan.During the time when they lose the 15 points they didn't lose hope for the league but this definitely affected the team and people were thinking Juventus can't even be in the next champions league will if they had the 15 points they could even race with Napoli for the Serie A title or get more points than they have right now.
for now being able to compete with Napoli for the title is almost impossible because Juventus are already very far behind in points but to be able to qualify for the UCL next season is very possible for them.
That's not what really counts until now. The confidence could have still been there to qualify for the Champions League anyway. The Serie A title was gone even with the 15 points. It was long gone, but Juventus knew that if they want a decent restart for the club in the next season, they need to play in the Champions League for financial reasons, but also for reputational reasons when they want to keep their strongest players and perhaps get the chance to sign some new ones. Who would go to a club who is currently fighting a lawsuit, not qualified for the Champions League, is losing some of their best players and can't pay competitive salaries? Now the situation looks much better for them.
Now that the 15 points have been returned to Juventus,Inter and Milan have to sweat out if they want to come and have a place in the Champions League next season as I doubt the one of them that will go in the final will have a possibility against Manchester City or Real Madrid in the Champions League.They have made several errors but now both teams have easy games in paper as we know last week both Inter and Milan screwed up really big and now they should win their games in order to have a choice to fight for the Champions League spots,it won't be easy for sure.
Inter and Milan make a good parlay as they need to win their games as I said and the odd of both teams combined is well over 2 so we can as well double our money with these two teams this weekend.

In any case, Italian football is doing well. Quite successful in international football in the EL and CL. But that Juventus now has the 15 points back is a very strange story. Not that it is unjustified, but Juventus has played all the last matches with the intention that it would make it to European football and I think you go into those matches with a different intention. Then you are actually dealing with an unintended form of competition distortion. But even then Juventus are not even sure of a 2nd place, as Lazio are still in 2nd place. It's sour for teams that would otherwise finish 4th and would have been admitted directly to the CL.
You might find members here that could write a book about weird things happening in Italian football. Let's just say that Juve 15 points story will not be the end of that 
Juve performance improved a lot after this sanction since they were trying to catch the European competitions train. Now since they are secure, they have to keep that place.
Verona 1 - Bologna in a long first half extra time, thanks to a VAR checked penalty.
Milan and Inter are in a really problematic situation after Juventus got their points back again. They are both out of top four now and they need to improve their recent form to be able to stay in the fight for Champions League spots as well. Milan are closer to the area by only three points at least but it is five points for Inter now. They had better focus on the league matches more from now on or it can be too late some time later.
I understand that Milan and Inter are going to face each other in the Champions League semi finals. They will both fight for making it to the finale for sure however this shouldn't cause them to lose their focus in the Serie A still. Because most probably none of them will win the Champions League title against Manchester City or Real Madrid. They need to focus on balancing these tournaments as a result.

Today there is a match that is quite interesting for me. namely the match Verona vs Bologna. What makes the match between these two teams very interesting and makes me a little curious is because, as we know last week, these two teams, namely Verona and Bologna, managed to hold the top teams to a draw. Bologna managed to hold Milan to a draw. and Verona managed to draw against Napoli. and now they are brought together to compete. Even though Bologna is superior if we look at statistics. but Verona, who are now in the relegation zone, cannot be underestimated either. because Verona managed to draw against Napoli is something to be reckoned with.
Verona v Bologna
Only 10 minutes have been played into the match. So far Bologna has been showing good performance. But it has been only 10 minutes and predicting anything regarding only 10 minutes of play is certainly not ideal.
Anyway, the deadlock has not been broken yet. I believe Bologna is going to win this match. After all, they are playing against a team that is in the relegation zone right now.
Bologna is trying to dominate the match. But they are not playing very well. Bologna had 75% of the ball possession but managed only 2 shots in 35 minutes. Hellas Verona on the other hand had 6 shots, 3 of which were on target. Bologna needs a bit more attacking play. But neither team can score yet. Bologna is the favorite in this match but I think the match will probably be a draw. But if Bologna plays attacking in the second half, maybe they will be able to break Hellas Verona's defense.
When talking about the Europa League, it is clear that at the moment there are some good things for them, especially with the current conditions where Roma and Juventus are in different conditions. for Roma at the moment their focus is clearly on the Europa League now so for the semi-finals they will definitely go all out.
Roma got the win but that was a really close one as well, if they didn't put on a show at the last 10 minutes or so then they would have lost that game as well and would have been out. Now they are going to face Leverkusen and that's not a small club neither but they could definitely get a win there too, not saying they will, not saying they are the favorites even, all I am saying is that they are good enough to beat Leverkusen if you ask me.Juventus is having the greatest week ever for them, both managed to beat Lisbon who beat Arsenal to get there, there were some doubts and they got it, but now they got their 15 points back too. That is the story of the week isn't it? They are not third and I be they will fight hard for second as well until the season ends too, should be a blast to watch.
