Typical ac milan , the old ac milan still there a bit.

They break napoli record by demolished them 4-0 and few days after that held 0-0 draw by empoli with 23 attempts , only 4 of them on target , terrible stats. The inconsistent ac milan ruined it all ... they could have defend the title actually but yeah this is the only problem they have.

When talking about last season's title, I personally think it was a luck for Milan. Why, with a squad that is not much different from previous seasons, last season was brilliant. Inter also showed inconsistency in the last few matches which gave AC Milan the advantage at that time. This season, Milan returned to their previous form, showing a similar inconsistency. So, if Napoli wins, this is the result of Napoli's hard work in the last few seasons which has also shown inconsistency. Still not sure about the unbeaten record that Napoli got this season whether it's real or also lucky, we can see next season.
Napoli's achievements this season are purely the result of their hard work so far. We know very well how Napoli have progressed over the past few seasons and most of them often fill the top 4 positions. But for this season a surprising thing has happened and Napoli has proven its capacity through several talented talents who have continued to be consistent to provide the best results for Napoli. For Milan and Inter they are too lacking this season, they have had many unnecessary failures, but this is competition and every team has its ups and downs.

Now the chance for Juventus to reach the top of the table is lower than before because they lost important points against Lzio, however, I think they performed well enough to win the game and the reason of why Juventus lost the game is mostly because the referee otherwise they could even have the chance to beat Lazio the season is not over yet and I think if Juventus show the same performance we saw for them they can reach better positions of the table.
The gap between juventus to the ac milan as a team that placed in the 4th place was around 8 points. There are still 9 matches remaining worth 27 points. As long as juventus can consistently take full points from the remaining matches and a miracle will happen. Juventus had no choice.
There are two ways

* Winning all rest of matches.
* Winning europa league title.

Those ways are the only ways for juventus to be qualified for UCL. The gaps are so big but juventus are still having enough matches to make it happen. It's quite easy for juventus to make it happen as long as juventus will be consistently winning the game.
I hope that juventus will take a way to win europa league title as the best way to get a ticket into the UCL next season. Juventus sees that UCL spot is the most important thing right now.

The hacker spirit breaks any spell
Inter are once again in a dark and critical phase, they have picked up very few points in the last few games and are in real danger of ending the season in the worst possible way
I don't understand how it could be accessed, AGAIN, in the same season twice

I was not expecting Juventus to suffer defeat in the hands of Lazio based on their recent form, I thought the game was going end in a tie but Zaccagni's 53th minutes goal became the decider. Lazio has been playing well and beating Juventus shows that they deserve the second spot. It was good business as usual for Napoli as they won Leece to maintain their 16th point lead on the table. They only need to bag 12pts to be crowned champion of Italian seria a.

Obviously it will be difficult to reach the top of the standings, at least Juventus can get into the top 4 to be able to get a UCL ticket, the defeat against Lazio hampered Juventus' journey so it takes more time to get into the top 4.

If we see that there are still a few matches left and next weekend Juventus will face Sassuolo and of course it's not something difficult to get full points in the match later because after that they will face Napoli at the end of April and of course it's difficult to get a win because the previous meeting Juventus was defeated Napoli 5 - 1 and that will be an arena for Juventus' revenge so that Juventus stay on the winning track to get into the top 4

For juventus to have any chance in Europe they need to atleast win 7 of their remaining matches ,that I feel is a big task ,atleast they owe themselves a big performance in the europa,so maybe they would qualify tru that means.
You're just like saying Juventus need to win streak because they only have 8 matches left Grin

I'd realistic here, it's impossible for Juventus to win streak since they're not in a good perform and they need to be at least reach 6th position standings, they can have a chance to play in Europa league although they need to win the qualification first.

Don't hope too much, it's already near from the end of season.

In the most important match of the week it was Lazio who won.If Juventus had won this match everything would have been better for them but they failed.Towards the end of the first half we saw goals from both teams.The hosts started the second half fast and scored early in the second half to lead 2-1 and that's how they finished the match.If Juventus had won this match they would have increased their points to 47 and reduced their points difference with Atalanta to 1.This way they could at least represent them in the conference league.
For juventus calibre ,I don't think conference league is enough,the top 3 already is solidify, napoli did an incredible job to create that gap in the first place. Thou from the beginning of the season I had so much hope on roma to challenge for the scudetto, but they missed out completely, glad they back in Champions league position,and I don't think mourinho will let that slip..lazio have also performed very well under Sarri,to be in second ,they have won the likes of roma and juventus already.

For juventus to have any chance in Europe they need to atleast win 7 of their remaining matches ,that I feel is a big task ,atleast they owe themselves a big performance in the europa,so maybe they would qualify tru that means.

Not your keys, not your coins!
Juventus might not get into the top four positions this season but there's every possiblity that they can end the season in top six. After the scandal issue that made the Italian Football Federation to deduct some points from them as one the punishment measures, they had a good run of form that made many think that they'll end the season in top four but has somehow slacked back recently.
Top six is not what Juventus want and they aim at top four because Champions League prize pool can help their club finance a lot more than prize pool in Europa League. However, they will not give up in Serie A and you are right, being eligible for Europa League is better than not, and better than only being eligible for Conference League.

Although, they will continue to fight in Serie A for as best position as they can achieve to appear in Europe next season, they will shift their main priority towards Europa League quarter final matches with Sporting Lisbon first. Then if they can join semi finals, they will continue with it as their biggest priority. I believe that if Juventus reach to semi final stage in Europa League, they will no longer have interest in Serie A.

Juventus had a very difficult when against Lazio in that match, Juventus were lucky to be able to score one in the first half because Lazio defense was really tight at home. Yes, if Juventus could win in that match they would have 47 points and be very close with Atalanta, and maybe they have the chance to end up in 6th place at the end of this season. Unfortunately they lost, but Juventus still have a chance in 9 remaining matches of this season which they have to do is consistently to getting 3 points.

I don't really think Juventus will get the 6th place this season because the competition is very though and surely no team will give up it's place easily, Juventus still have a chance to qualify to the champoins league if they focus well in the Europa league and get the title, i think it will be easier for them then trying to get in the top 4 clubs in the Serie A because the gap is already large

Their last match against Lazio was a very difficult one for them as a team as the Lazio defense was very solid to be penetrated for them when they were looking for an equalizer. But even if they can't qualify for next season's Champions League football via their position in the league, Juventus have a chance to do that by winning the UEFA Europa League this season

Previously Bologna were never fight for european zone and usually they always be struggle to avoiding relegation zone for almost every seasons and so far if i am not mistaken this is one of Bologna best achievement during playing on Serie A and with only 1 difference points below to Juventus i think they have good opportunities to playing at least on European conference league
Bologna's success in defeating Atlanta is indeed quite special because they did it as an away team, and this victory made them have a goal surplus of 2 in the standings so this fact shows that Bologna has problems that are evenly distributed in both the attack and defense parts so that they end up often getting bad results.
If they are able to compete in one of the European competitions then they must make real changes to the existing squad because if not they will only play in the group phase because they will face difficulties in winning so they will not qualify for the next round.
But to be honest, it is quite doubtful that Bologna will be able to get a place to be able to play in Europe because Juventus, even though they lost to Lazio, are still one of the teams that appear quite consistent and in the next match it is very possible for Juventus to win again and shift Atlanta.

I was not expecting Juventus to be that easy for Lazio  to beat, but lazio proved that they are the second best team in the league.  Lazio has done very wonderful in their performance this season to accumulate good numbers of points . I know Juventus have been struggling but expect it to last till this moment.
wait, what? they were defeated easily? I guess you are kidding on this. The match was very fierce in this match and their conditions were actually equally strong, it's just that they conceded a goal at the start of the second half but overall if you look at their performance they are actually very strong and indeed this narrow defeat is not something that Lazio can easily get.
I support you, Lazio did not easily beat Juventus, apart from that the strategy that Allegri ddi used in this match was an attack strategy, so the match was very exciting and tight but Lazio's second goal was really an error from Juventus' back line, they failed to anticipate Alberto and Zaccagni . juventus is a strong team, their performance is getting better if we compare it to their performance at the start of the season.
Correct. the match was very interesting indeed. Both teams carried out attacks after attacks alternately with great fierceness. but in this match we certainly noticed that there was a slight decrease in the accuracy of the shots of the Juventus forward. maybe this is due to Lazio's back line successfully distracting the concentration of the Juventus forward players and making it difficult for the Juventus forward players to make the right moment to shoot on target. but overall both teams are equally strong. and I also see that Lazio deserved this victory.

The strongest defense in Serie A at the moment is Lazio's. They conceded only 20 goals in 29 matches. Due to the strong defense Lazio team is able to consistently play well in every match. It was very difficult for Juventus to score against this team. Even so, Juventus played well enough. And the first half ended in a 1-1 draw. However, in the end, Juventus could not score any points. If Juventus's defense could have performed well, the match could have been drawn. Juventus' defenders did not play well against Lazio. This is why they lost this match.

Maybe someone has forgotten the results of one of last week's matches, that Atalanta, who are so favored, lost at home against visiting Bologna with a score of 0-2. This result has quite an impact on their current position in the standings which makes it even more difficult because they have to shift Inter and Milan first if they want to penetrate the top 4 of the standings. In the next match, Atalanta will have to play an away game against Fiorentina and I think Atalanta will again find themselves in a stalemate because Fiorentina is a pretty strong opponent.
Bologna cannot be underestimate because they have strong motivation when against strong teams and before Bologna has successfully to beat Atalanta they also has been beat another strong teams such as Fiorentina and Inter so basically Atalanta faced hard match and they can utilized the unconsistency of Atalanta to get the winning results and if we talking about Bologna last season they were finish on 13th under Sinisa Mihajlovic but everything was change when Thiago Motta arrived to this team and he can give positive impact for Bologna

Even if they fail in this match but I think their chance is still there.
it would be very good if they win, but now the defeat has happened and the most important thing for Juventus is to restart its impressive form in the remaining matches that will occur.
There are still a number of opponents that are quite difficult to face, they don't have time to regret defeats this week because they have to get back up so that their chances of being in the Champions League or Europa League are wide open.

Yeah beside Lazio who are on a positive streak the other ones are too unstable performance wise but i think its understandable since all the other three are still competing in the european competition maybe their lack of focus on their league games is because of it.

The decline in the best quality of several teams ranked 4th in the standings table does not mean that they have a focus for other competitions or they are more busy to show their best quality in other competitions.
Lazio are lucky to be able to take advantage of this situation to show their quality in several matches to win in the midst of the unstable performance of teams that dominate the top flight such as Inter, Ac Milan and Juventus.

In my opinion, it tends to be that a match fails to be utilized as best as possible because the game scheme and patterns that are carried out by their coach in dealing with their opponents do not go as well as possible, such as rotating players on a large scale which makes them lose their sharpness in that match.

Whether it's AC Milan or Inter Milan, they are not stable enough in Serie A this season because of the decline in the quality of their players where the players are often inconsistent while on the field.

Milan are still an unpredictable team in the league despite their huge victory over Napoli recently. They are an interesting team because they couldn't beat Empoli home this time.

With this inconsistency their job about preserving their place in top four will be pretty difficult. Actually nearly all the teams around Milan are experiencing the same thing these days. But I don't expect this to last until the end of the season for all of these teams. Milan aren't a weak team normally. We have all seen how they won the league title last season. They just need to make a bigger effort to be able to qualify for the Champions League again.
