I'm of the opinion that in football, no team should be taken for granted. Jose Mourinho's side ought to secure a victory as they have the added advantage of playing on home turf, but Hellas Verona are a very stubborn side, just four points short of Roma's 40 but will do everything possible to make sure Roma finds it hard to secure a winning.
Verona also have a slight chance of winning the game what with their previous records being impressive and all.

Roma were just no more than a disappointment today unfortunately. They played versus Verona home and I was thinking that Roma would win this one way or another. But they failed hard and they were nearly losing the game if they weren't able to come back from 2-0 behind. I know that Verona are not an easy opponent but Roma should have won this game home in the end. I was hoping them to be a stronger team this season but they are not seemingly.
I actually thought the reason behind Roma losing this match was because of upcoming UEFA games but this was far from what transpired as i looked at the fixtures to come and these guys didnt have any coming up... its clear that Verona won fair and square, had it not been the better team of the day Roma would have won. Surprisingly AC Milan was held to a draw by Salernitana 2-2 even though Milan had to fall behind 2-1 before Ante Rebic scored the equalizer.
Indeed, it is very surprising. We know that Salernitana position is in the lowest place on the table. They are in the degradation zone. How can Milan get drawn in this match? I am sure Milan will very regret it, they waste the chance to get 3 points and widen the distance with inter in the table. Now, if Inter wins the next 2 matches, AC Milan will drop again their position to 2nd or 3rd place. Very sad to see AC Milan unsuccessful gets the victory today.

Well ...can we already think that Mourinho will leave Roma after just 1 year or the fans and the board will give him extra credit for another year ? Personally , I think the football slowly become better than him in the last years and he can no longer keep up the pace with football transforming so no wonder why teams like Bayern already have a young coach with fresh mentality that understand better how young players are reacting to new tactics. Yea , maybe it won't work in first year but I do believe that Bayern made the right decision so maybe Roma should think the same.
Also , what happened with Ac.Milan ? If they keep up this bad pace of them, Napoli will take the title and I pray they will.
Mourinho might not working well anymore with european top clubs , his outdated and boring strategy are no longer effective , simply not entertaining and not really good for us to watch.Also , what happened with Ac.Milan ? If they keep up this bad pace of them, Napoli will take the title and I pray they will.
He should try china or UAE which could give him nice amount of money for the retirement days.
Oh yeah freak , told ya though ... a number 1st team vs a 20th team could always give you too much confidence on the favorites and the result always unexpected , ac milan prove my prediction right. Chances wasted away, inter now has 2 games in hand with 2 points difference, disaster.
Since becoming the manager of Man United, I have seen that Jose Mourinho has struggled to adapt to modern football. Mourinho's strategy was
no longer effective, therefore he failed when he was the coach of Man United and Tottenham. Now being the coach Roma can't show good results,
even Roma can't compete for the 4th position. My prediction is that Mourinho will not be the coach of Roma for long, maybe you are right,
Mourinho should try the challenge of being a coach outside Europe.
Regarding the results of the AC Milan match, it was very disappointing, AC Milan threw away their chance to get 3 points. Even though AC Milan
can play well against Inter, but they find it difficult to beat Salernitana. Even I thought AC Milan would lose when Milan Duric scored a goal in
the 72nd minute, fortunately AC Milan could equalize to 2-2. This is good news for Inter and Napoli, but the problem is that Inter's performance
has also decreased slightly. Inter's previous two matches in Serie A failed to win, and in the Champions League they were beaten by Liverpool.
Hopefully against Sassuolo they can win, if Inter win then Inter will go back up to first position.

It looks like Juventus will not be able to be in the top 3 of the Serie A standings at the end of the season, they fail to take advantage of all the opportunities that exist.
The draw leaves them with only 1 point and 47 points with 26 matches. They have an eight-point gap with Milan. I think there will still be a lot of games, so the opportunity is still there. Juventus look better, they haven't lost in the last 5 matches. It's sad that Juve couldn't win against Torino, I even saw on television that Dybala was injured in this match. It looks like Dybala has an injury to his left thigh. Of course it's detrimental but hopefully not severe.

Salernitana vs AC Milan after 60 minutes of play match is on score of 1 - 1 AC Milan is currently at top of league table and Salernitana is at bottom of league table mean easy points for leaders because currently they are leading table by 2 points and this win can give them 4 points lead which is not bad because currently inter has 2 matches in hand and Napoli is having 1 match, and they are trailing by 3 points, so this win can make big difference and AC Milan can feel very good with some good lead but currently Salernitna is not allowing them to play freely, and they are holding this which is excellent from them from start AC Milan is doing good but still they are fail to have lead and some better control in this game.
Surprisingly AC Milan was held to a draw by Salernitana 2-2 even though Milan had to fall behind 2-1 before Ante Rebic scored the equalizer. will drop to 3rd place, Milan should be able to get three points considering the opponent they are facing is the caretaker of the current Serie A standings. Inter Milan will face Sassuolo and it looks like it will be very easy to get the three points while Napoli also have the same chance because of the opponents they face Cagliari.

Wut Milan is losing versus Salernitana.
Will their run for the scudetto be over in 20 minutes?
What a ..... match.Will their run for the scudetto be over in 20 minutes?
The full-time result was a draw 2-2 between the lowest standing and top standing club.
Fortunately, Ante Rebic could give a score of 77' to ka the match a draw.
Currently, there are many surprising matches results happening, even a big club is lost or only a draw with the low club,.
Milan was playing more superiorly at the beginning, by scoring in 5'. This actually can break the mental of Salernitana players. But in fact, they could really play very well and effectively even with small ball possession and also the number of shots.
Today, Milan really missed the chance to win and will probably lose their first standing position if Inter can win against Sassuolo in tomorrow's match. Moreover INter still has 2 remaining matches to play.
This is how it normaly goes when the last team and first place team play. Top place teams think it will go easily and they drop points. While Milan now dropped some really big points and now Inter and Napoli have an amazing chance to overtake Milan in this round.

Milan managed to only get a draw against the last team in the serie A table despite getting the lead early in the game they had a really bad second half defensively and they almost lost the game now they are only two points away from inter and inter have two game more two play i think this is the turning point they will regret these lost points.

Is quite obvious that Juventus also underestimated Torino. We all thought Juventus will win the game, because it was their home match. And also Juventus performance lately have been impressive. But, things turned out the other way, and Torino was able to achieve a draw point.
this is really a pretty fatal mistake because I feel they underestimated Torino in this match so they just focus on attacking without paying attention to defense.On the other hand, the game played by Torino is really very good, especially for their midfielders who always provide a ball supply that can be said to be quite indulgent for their strikers.
They take advantage of Cuadrado's side who are always involved in the attack so when Torino attack they always take advantage of that side to counterattack Juventus
In the second half Juventus seemed to be playing defensively and some of Juventus' mainstay defenders did not play making the defense less than optimal because Turino in the second half continued to attack and also created several chances. Which finally Andrea Belotti was able to score a goal in the 62nd minute and change the score to 1-1 until the end of the match.
It's a shame that Paulo Dybala was the victim in the match against Turino and he was injured, and that's worrying considering Dybala is an important player to face Villarreal in the UCL later. And it has not been confirmed whether he will play or not and also several Juventus players who are still injured.
That's the thing about current Juventus, they are playing like they are not a big team and playing like a mid level team. A mid level team would get ahead and then try to stay back and not get scored, a big team ends up trying to score even more. You do not see City players go back on defense and try to keep a 1-0 score that way, you see them trying to score the second, even the third goal and never really back down.It's a shame that Paulo Dybala was the victim in the match against Turino and he was injured, and that's worrying considering Dybala is an important player to face Villarreal in the UCL later. And it has not been confirmed whether he will play or not and also several Juventus players who are still injured.
You do not see this even from Inter or Milan from this league neither. So, it is really not a cool move by Juventus to give up that easily and try to keep the score at 1-0 for the remainder of the game. Shows a lack of confidence in the team and in the manager as well, if manager didn't give that order the players wouldn't have done that. Dybala is a greatly important player but by the looks of it him playing doesn't really change much for Juventus any more. Not because he is not great, but because they do not even utilize him enough.
I undervalued Torino and the result surprised me as a result. It was a bad day for Juventus as they didn't play that much impressive. It mustn't be surprising for them to get a draw by this kind of performance. The most interesting game so far has been Roma - Verona actually. It is nearing to an end right now and there is still a 2-2 tie. After a really poor first half, Roma finished it 2-0 behind. I was very surprised because I was thinking that Roma would win this game even if it is difficult. And thankfully they have equalized the score in the other half. But this effort is still alarming for them. They need to put a bigger effort into their league games.

De Ligt started up with a goal from Juventus at 13th minutes. 1st half was over but Torino did not score a goal in the 1st half. But unfortunate to Juventus, Torino scored its goal at 62 minute and easily drawn the match. Juventus has 35 minutes more to score a goal but did not make it. Its 2nd match for Juventus to go on draw consecutively. Hats off to Liverpool for its consecutive wins and constant best performance.

The early goals which Verona scored really helped and boosted their morale about not losing the game. Had it been Roma lost the game, It would have been embarrassing. However, A big thanks to Bove for securing the second goal,.
After seeing the summary between Juventus and Torino yesterday I came to the conclusion that Torino should really just win this match. I thought Juventus gave away the win with the draw but Torino had the best chances and played very aggressively, but I think Torino will be happy with this draw. Juventus will be disappointed even if they weren't doing well yesterday. In a few games they have Champions League match against Villarreal, let's hope they are a little better than yesterday.
Getting a draw vs Juve is like a win for Torino and a defeat for Juve of course.The one point that Torino got will make them farther from the relegation zone while Juve gave a favour for Atalanta to catch or even to get away from them.
Roma got a draw also complicating its situation since Fiorentina could pass them now..
