I dont want to see this Juventus team anymore this season. They are awful i dont know how they are in the top 5 this season when they cannot beat team that has been relegated weeks ago. Hopefully the league finishes so that i dont have to watch them anymore. They need to change everything in their team starting with the coach.

Atalanta vs AS Roma


Atalanta StartXI: 3-4-2-1

Marco Carnesecchi; Marten de Roon; Isak Hien; Berat Djimsiti; Hans Hateboer; Mario Pašalić; Éderson; Matteo Ruggeri; Teun Koopmeiners; Charles De Ketelaere; Gianluca Scamacca

AS Roma StartXI: 4-2-3-1

Mile Svilar; Rasmus Kristensen; Gianluca Mancini; Evan Ndicka; Angeliño; Bryan Cristante; Leandro Paredes; Tommaso Baldanzi; Lorenzo Pellegrini; Stephan El Shaarawy; Romelu Lukaku

Because Salernitana is a mediocre team that has a lot of defeats, only Juventus has difficulty against this team, obviously I saw that Juventus' game was not so interesting even though there were many chances but it did not become a goal even though in the end Rabiot equalized in the final minute even though after that Juventus had the opportunity to become a goal but failed again as well as Salernitana.
At least Juventus still have a chance to get into the Champions League as Serie A puts its team to go with 5 teams to the UCL.

I guess today's game against Salernitana is an embarrassment for Juventus... They were very lucky to get a goal in the last minutes... It's funny that the next games will be against Atalanta and Bologna, who are now serious competitors in the standings... Juventus must not lose in these matches to stay in the UCL zone...

I don't know what is in the mind of the bookies at this time who continue to make Juventus as favorites, if today Salernitana is able to continue to maintain their lead then it is certain that those who hold Salernitana win the day will get a lot of money because of their bets, so far Juventus is still in the top 4 but still it does not guarantee they can win against weak teams,  Of course we still remember some of Juventus previous games which had to get negative results from small teams and most likely Juventus will continue that negative trend today against Salernitana.

Currently Juventus is ranked 3rd in the Serie A standings and their position is increasingly threatened if they are unable to turn things around in the remaining time of the current match, if Juventus lose then their position will drop to rank 4 and worse, Atlanta who are currently in 5th position have the potential to make Juventus drop to a lower position because Atlanta has two matches that have not been played,  So if it continues to achieve negative results in the remaining matches of the season, it is very likely that Juventus will also be thrown out of the Champions League zone next season.

People think the result we see from Bologna and the points they got so far is just because of the good performance from Bologna and they have impressive performance during this season.
But I disagree. I think the performance of Bologna was not bad at all but the main reason for them to be in the top side of the Serie A and be in the next Champions League is mostly because of the other teams like Juventus and giving them the chance. Otherwise, we could see Juventus racing with Inter Milan for the title.

If Juventus can really lose at home to Salernitana, then it is quite clear that third place will belong to Bologna, because up to this moment Juventus has still not scored a goal and is still one goal behind Salernitana. It is quite surprising that Juventus could actually lose at home to the bottom team in the Serie A table this season because it would reflect that Juventus' strength has completely disappeared, making Bologna able to take third place at the end of this season.

I do not know what to expect from Napoli anymore. I thought they were at least going to get one point from this match. But they lost the match. it was really incredible to say that they actually conceded two goals in the first 12 minutes of the match. And even though they were trying to control the possession of the ball which they were actually successful in doing, they were unable to score any goals. The performance from them has definitely been pretty upsetting for the Napoli fans. I hope that next season they will be able to improve their performance. But that is also hard to expect because I am pretty certain that Osimhen is going to leave Napoli. He wanted to leave before the start of this season. But Napoli was able to keep him in the squad but I do not think they will be able to keep him any longer.

Napoli did messed up their chances els that game would have been such that they would have gotten a draw at least from it but then they  lost the game sadly to a team they would have ordinarily won if they were in the kind of form they were last season when they won the league title although it was them winning the league title for the first time after a very long while  and all were hoping they will be able to replicate similar form by this season.

Lazi actually won the game against empoli by two goals a d so they have got the chance of the possibilities of getting to qualify for the conference league and I doubt if Napoli will be able to still maintain the chase or they are willing to accept their fate of ending the season without a trophy, empoli may actually get relegated because I don't know how well they will be able to win the rest of their games to be able to  make it out of relegation this season because they are actually not looking like they are going to be able to get the points they needed to exit the relegation from their remaining games already.

Sassuolo isn't a team that can get to stop Lazio even in their todays fixture they were leading but eventually list the game and it's really a show of weakness although they were playing from away but then I still doubt if they will be able to get ahead of Lazio in their next fixture because going by Lazios performance today, they are definitely not going to in any way do any less when they get to meet sassuolo.

An incredible performance from Milan. I honestly did not expect that they were going to score so many goals in this match. At first, it was looking to be a little competitive. Because Milan scored two goals and after that, Cagliari was able to score one. But after that, Milan just took over the whole match and did not give any chance to their opponent. They scored one after another and it was really incredible to see. It looks like they are going to finish in the second position of the table. Because they have a good enough points difference with the team that is below them. If we talk about Cagliari I think there is a good chance that they will avoid the relegation. But they definitely would have liked to get one point from this match. They do have an easier match coming up so let’s see. I think they might be able to even win the next match. And that is definitely going to put them far away from the relegation zone.

Although I also realize that Juventus cannot be fully expected, but I still try my luck choosing Juventus to win with asian handicap option. Because after all, that the position of Juventus is also still not entirely safeand moreover,in the next Serie A match Juventus must play awaya gainst Bologna. Therefore,playing at home against the team at the bottom of the standings Salernitana, it is appropriate for Juventus to be able to win with a big score too. But indeed,in reality, Juventus are still verybad and with this kind of performance, then I believe Juventus will lose in the CoppaItalia final against Atalanta. But yes, hopefully Juventus will still be able to win at least with a score of 3-1 or more, because I bet with the asian handicap option.

Before the match started Juventus vs Salernitana the odds that Turin had were 1.13 and now they are one goal behind, really if Juventus lose then their performance at the end of the season is bad, just look at the last 4x matches in the series but now want to lose to the bottom team?
I expect a comeback in the second half at least this will not be hard for Juventus should be.

I think Bologna won't be worried if Atalanta will catch up or maybe Juventus will catch up with Bologna if they can't secure points in every match because the points difference is only 1 point.
Atalanta may not be chasing a position in series A too much, but Atalanta is prioritizing competing for the title in the Coppa Italia and also the UEL.
From this we can understand that Atalanta has a busier schedule and will not be able to catch Bologna's position because Atalanta will definitely only use reserve players and rest the main players.

This week it seems that what I said is like a curse, Atalanta can perform very well with a performance that can beat Roma to get 3 points and this can put pressure on Juventus and Bologna who currently look a little inconsistent.
For me, the 2-1 result between Atalanta and Roma was a very good match, even though they failed to win, at least Roma could provide resistance which made Atalanta almost end in a draw.

There are only 3 hours left! This game is really important for the last Champions League spot.    I would have expected the odds between these teams to be much closer.

I really appreciate Atalanta's recent performances. They have reached the Europa League finale as well. They would have the biggest motivation here in front of their supporters too. But I wouldn't prefer a bet on a side here like I said before. But if I did my choice would be Atalanta in the circumstances. But the team I hope to see winning are Roma honestly. 

Roma couldn't make it to the Champions League with Mourinho but I hope they can with De Rossi.

Napoli are really bad this season, they continue to get unsatisfactory results this season and even in the last 5 matches they played, they didn't get a single win, that is clearly a bad record for them. Bologna, who appeared as the visiting team, immediately attacked and the result was 2 goals which they were able to score in just 12 minutes at the start of the match. Napoli, who tried hard to score goals, couldn't get what they wanted.

Napoli lost their identity after being abandoned by their coach last season. Even though the departure of their coach is not the main cause, still some of us will see how they performed last season with their coach at that time, and it is natural for us to assume that the coach is one of the causes. Napoli must improve to prepare for the next season, because they cannot be like this if they want to achieve the same great success as last season.

With the extraordinary results achieved by Bologna and the new format of the Champions League next season, I think Bologna has secured a slot in the Champions League. This new format also benefits As Roma because we always talk about their chances of entering the European league. Lazio still have a chance to make a surprise but I think it will be very difficult. I also want to congratulate Bologna on successfully qualifying for the Champions League. I think the club board should think about looking for several players in the transfer window to add to their strength next season.

With the defeat against Bologna at home, this is clearly Francesco Calzona's failure in handling the Napoli team, currently the Napoli team has to sit in 8th place in the Italian Serie A and at this time it is not safe for Napoli because Fiorentia will do it to get rid of Napoli in order to enter the League European Conference, it is certain that if that happens Napoli will fail miserably this season, their game will decline further, especially the player who was Napoli's star last season, Osimhen. Now this player is no longer discussed in the media because his performance has declined.

With Napoli's failure this season, their management will definitely regret letting Spalletti go, he took the Napoli team very far last season, now this team has slumped, in my opinion in handling Napoli's coaching staff next season there must be new things that can be done to bring the team together. This is advancing to compete to win like last season.

For Napoli this was also an important match, now after this defeat it will not be a problem for Fiorentina to beat them, since Fiorentina have played two fewer matches, so Napoli will almost certainly be left without Euro cups next season. Now in the end of the season, we can appreciate how strong Spalletti's influence was on the team, and now De Laurentiis can assess the situation and admit that he made a mistake.

Did they surprise you? I doubt that everyone was surprised. Bologna eliminated Inter Milan from the Coppa Italia. They also beat Atalanta despite playing away from home. Napoli couldn't win a single game in weeks. I don't really understand where the big surprise is here.

What is much more interesting is how Juventus Turin is drifting down the table. Atalanta is one game behind and Juventus is still playing against Bologna, in Bologna!! If they lose that and Atalanta wins their games, then Atalanta is going through I think. They could still mess this season up and that would be a surprise as nobody would have thought that's possible after they were going so well for so long.

Napoli are very chaotic and maybe this is a bad end to the season for them considering the last 5 matches without ever producing a single win. Napoli had to submit again to Bologna and made Napoli even worse in 8th position with 51 points. I think they can fix this all before the season ends but unfortunately Napoli are still shackled by their previous results and it is very difficult to recover.

Meanwhile for Bologna, this is an important additional 3 points considering that they were finally able to shift the position of Juventus who experienced similar bad results and I think Bologna will really finish in 3rd position this time. They will definitely secure a place in the champions league and Thiago Motta must be very proud of his players' performance so far.
