Does third place have any meaning to you? I don't understand the essence of this desire.
Bookmakers estimate Bologna's chances of winning as 2.48, that is, Bologna is the favorite but only formally. In fact, all three results are equally likely, but I would bet on Bologna given the high odds and the fact that they are on the rise at the end of the season and Juventus are in decline. By the way, purely theoretically, Juventus has a chance to lose even 4th place, and this is after they were on equal terms with Inter for a long time.
I do not think that Juventus is actually worried about the third position in the table. Because you know, they have other things to worry about right now.
I can see, they do not have a single win in the last five matches. From the last five matches, they have been able to get only five points.
So they did not win a single match, Yes I know, they also did not lose a single match in the last five.
I have to agree, that performance is definitely expected from a team like Juventus.
In the point table, Bologna is on the same points as Juventus. They are just ahead in terms of goal difference. Even though I do not think that the third position is going to mean anything much to Juventus, it is still going to be something that the coach would want.
so I do believe this match has some importance. But not that much.
By the way, the current hot topic is Juventus managed Thiago Motta to agree with them by contract, I'm surprised how they could manage to bring Blogona's Head coach!!

Allegri was on the verge of being sacked last season when Juventus had poor results and supposed conflicts with some players, but management supported him and gave him another full season. Obviously, this season was a failure, so agreements with Thiago Motta had been in the works for a long time, and after Allegri behaved in the cup final, they apparently entered the final stage. Allegri's behavior changed nothing, only accelerated events.
As for Tiago, this is a very obvious and quick step up for him; he didn’t have to be persuaded for long, 100%.
