Milan are going to have another comfortable week. Salernitana are the worst team in this season now. And I expect no decent competition from them against Milan. And Milan are the current leader now. They should be able to keep their position by this week easily too. Napoli and Inter also are going to have comfortable games. In case Milan make any mistake, one of them would benefit from it right away. And I'm sure of them to win as much as I think the same about Milan too.
Sampdoria seems to perform very well whenever they are playing in front of their home fans at their home stadium as they could even beat Sassuolo by scoring 4 goals against them. Sampdoria will surely need to earn as many points as possible when they are playing at their home stadium to prevent dropping into the relegation zone, I think Sampdoria should be able to beat Empoli today.
Of the 13 matches Sampdoria played at home, in fact Sampdoria only got 3 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses. So, I really can't think Sampdoria are good when they play at home, although their last win at home to beat Sassuolo 4-0 still can't be used as a guarantee that Sampdoria are very good at home. Sampdoria have the same winning record when playing home and away, the record is still not consistent enough for Sampdoria. Meanwhile, Empoli itself is not a weak team and in fact, Empoli's away win record is better than Sampdoria. Of the 12 away matches played by Empoli so far this season, Empoli got 5 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses. So, I really don't believe Sampdoria will win in this match because after all they certainly have the target for full points and Empoli have a great chance to get it. 
Juventus stumbled against Torino last night by a 1-1 draw. This was very unexpected for me honestly. I was seeing a Juventus win here as nearly guaranteed. Maybe it was not going to be a very comfortable one but they would have won by a one-goal gap at least. But Torino fought really well against them. Juventus got ahead very early but had a big problem on increasing the goal gap later on. And this cost them this kind of a result. Belotti scored a very important goal for his team. And Juventus didn't have even one shot on target in the second half which was horrible.
Don't be surprised by this result, Juventus should be grateful not to be beaten by Torino at their own home. If you look at the statistics, you will notice that overall, the game was dominated by Torino. Juventus' goal was scored by De Ligt who is a defender, this indicates that in this match the Juventus striker did not play optimally.
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.
Sampdoria seems to perform very well whenever they are playing in front of their home fans at their home stadium as they could even beat Sassuolo by scoring 4 goals against them. Sampdoria will surely need to earn as many points as possible when they are playing at their home stadium to prevent dropping into the relegation zone, I think Sampdoria should be able to beat Empoli today.
For now, it looks like this season is still going to be very difficult for Juventus. Because their performance against Torino was really inadequate. They performed so poorly that they deserved to draw with Torino by 1-1. I don't know why their performance dropped in the second half too much. Because it was the main reason behind this point loss. Torino wouldn't have got even a chance for this if Juventus continued to play properly. Juventus need to be more consistent about winning. Or they can have serious problems on even ending the season at the fourth place.
Ac Milan will find it difficult to win, my advice to those gambling today is to avoid Ac Milan.
They're are sityed at the top of the table, both that doesn't make any sense if they done put up a good performance by Winning this match.
The host have a bad defending, I'm sure goals will result in this game.
As Roma failed to win their last game, as that wasn't the result Jose Mourinho wanted from the start against Sassuolo.
Hey face Verona who won them during the first half of the season, lossing three goals to two in the that game.
I don't want to see such a performance against them, as it will cut short their top four hopes down.
Tammy Abraham should be anytime goalscorer in this game, the move to As Roma has indeed showed he's worth.

I see this is not related to luck indeed Torino tried to equalize the score until they finally succeeded their efforts are commendable because their mentality doesn't go down when they concede the first.
Today match salernitana vs AC Milan we know Milan will definitely try to secure the standings so winning is a must for them
Milan had no other chance to throw away points or Inter quickly overtook.

I didn't expect such a game, although I had win from the game with Juventus winning either half's.
With this performance, they'll never get into the top four spot.
I hope they get to fix this up quickly, Champions during the week Villarreal.
Seems they have too many injured players.

Winning against Torino would have boosted Juventus points to 50, and also enable them to maintain been in the top 4. But, unfortunately they ended the game is 1-1 draw. Although, Torino performance in the game was impressive, they had 55% ball possession. Juventus played badly, they could not secure any goal in the second half.
However, Juventus position are now threatened, because Atalanta which are 3 points behind them on the standings have 2 outstanding matches to play and if they eventually win in those matches, Juventus will have to step down from the 4th position.
Juventus had a poor performance yesterday, and they now have two draws in a row; I was hoping that after this match, they would regain their balance and challenge for the Seria A title; however, with such a performance, I don't believe they are capable of winning the title this season; additionally, they must be strong enough to avoid missing out on the UEFA Champions League next season. However, Juventus position are now threatened, because Atalanta which are 3 points behind them on the standings have 2 outstanding matches to play and if they eventually win in those matches, Juventus will have to step down from the 4th position.
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.
Juventus did not intend to maintain pressure on Torino after they have a goal and in the second half. They gave Torino ability to attack and Juventus defense nowadays is not like a bongke in the past so it was broken by Torino. In that goal, Belotti has an amazing volley but it's not only about that goal, but also in general performance, Torino have more shots than Juventus.Quote
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.
After the equalizer from Torino, Max tried to send Moise Kean in but it's too late and Juventus even could not create so much pressure on Torino. Dybala is important for Juventus because he can connect a whole attack system of Juventus and make key passes. I wish the best recovery for him because Serie A will have a serious failed season in Champions League if Juventus can not do something. AC Milan out, Inter Milan almost out 
Juventus didn’t play well at all. They were just very dominant and active in the first phase of the game. Despite their dominance in the early exchanges, it was actually Torino who grew into the game, stretching and building dangerous attacks, maintaining about 58 percent of the whole possession than Juventus. In fact to the point of even registering more shots than their Juventus. Atalanta now sit just three points adrift of Juventus in fourth spot, but have two crucial games in hand, which could well prove vital with Juventus surrendering control of the fourth position for now.
They did exactly what we expected from Torino. But we had more expectations from Juventus. In the first half we saw some dominance of Juventus players but in the second half they were very much inactive. Although Torino has attacked a total of 121 times in this match, Juventus has attacked only 84 times. If Juventus continue to lose points against a relatively weak team in this way, they will not be able to qualify for the Champions League.

Juventus are the favorites in this match against torino but couldn't maintain the lead in Half Time, Me and maybe we are also disappointed with this draw result.
Torino is a formidable opponent to be underestimated because there is a Bremer who is the target of a big club also, Juventus performance is also not good even Torino have more control of the ball by a margin of 5%.
If juventus want to go to the champions League they are suppose to be winning this kind of games but they didn't put in enough effort,they would have even lost the game if Torino was clinical enough,now I think Atlanta will capitalise on this poor result and get a victory against Fiorentina even if is not going to be easy for them too. because Fiorentina are in strong form also themselves but Atlanta have more quality.

AS Roma VS Hellas Verona
After drawing the last two matches and losing points, Roma are now the seventh team in the points table. They want to get to the top of the table. With no option to win this match. Hellas Verona is not a weak team. Their position on the table is now ninth. And just 4 points behind Roma. Verona also won the last home match 3-2 against Roma. So this match is challenging for Roma. They will be able to avenge the previous defeat in this match.

This weekend Milan in the top performance after win against Inter, Sampdoria and Lazio in coppa Italia and next match against Salernitana should not problem for them although Ibrahimovic probably not in the good form but overall team conditions were very good and seems Milan will get 3 points from this match
After a dramatic win from Inter, AC Milan's performance has improved. Like you said, AC Milan won with a big score against Lazio in the Coppa Italia,
then continued to beat Sampdoria. Then next face Salernitana, AC Milan will probably win easily. Apart from Salernitana being the weakest team
in Serie A because they are in the lowest position, AC Milan is now in first position one point ahead of Inter. So AC Milan will try to win every game,
so that the position of AC Milan is not displaced by Inter or Napoli. Although Inter still have one game left to play, Inter's problem in the last
5 matches is inconsistent. Moreover, the mentality of Inter players must be declining, because Inter had just been defeated by Liverpool in
the Champions League. So there is a possibility that Inter will drop points again when they face Sassuolo.

Juventus began the match with excellent performance but later Torino wanted to take over, the match ended draw and the 3 points Juventus supposed to have reduced back to only 1 point, there are just unlucky days for clubs, should not be what should surprise us when Juventus is even trying at all cost to make it to Champions League. Atlanta is a good competitor against Juventus, it has played only 24 matches while Juventus played 26 matches, if the two matches left are won, very possible Juventus will only have to go to Europa next season, but I believe Juventus can prove its record.

I could have sworn I saw this draw coming, Juventus really didn't play extraordinarily well to deserve a win, to be fair.
It's yet another set back towards their title chase, yes! but, I wouldn't rule Juventus out just yet knowing how inconsistent both Milan teams and Napoli can be at times like this, just that Juventus can't afford to keep dropping points.
There won't be a title chase this season and the best they can hope for is finishing 4th with the way they are performing. They produced absolutely nothing offensively last night. Bremer was obviously tasked to man-mark Vlahovic and he did a great job with it. Dusan barely touched the ball. Defensively, Juve can't be blamed for how they played. During the warm-up, they lost Rugani to an injury, so a left back (Alex Sandro) had to fill in and play in an unnatural position for him. Pellegrini started at the left. He had a bad game and then he also got a knee injury and got substituted out at half-time.

What a boring game, ended only 1-1 for Juventus and now the situation is going to be bad again if Atalanta will win their game in the weekend.
Bremer is a good defender.
Now I know why he is wanted by all the top teams.

Bremer was amazing today he covered everything in defence and Juventuses amazing attack couldnt do much in this match at all.
Big mistake from Juventus again dropped some important points and their titles hopes are i think gone now. Their only chance is to fight for top 4 positions
This weekend Milan in the top performance after win against Inter, Sampdoria and Lazio in coppa Italia and next match against Salernitana should not problem for them although Ibrahimovic probably not in the good form but overall team conditions were very good and seems Milan will get 3 points from this match
