Even though Juventus has a higher chances than Milan and Inter Milan in competing for the Scudetto because among the big 3 only Juventus doesn't have a busy schedule, and the question is if the Juventus players are starting to get tired  what happens when compared with Inter Milan and Milan in fact, these two clubs performed better than Juventus even though they had to face other big competitions such as the Champions League and the European League and they were still able to balance it out to keep performing well in the domestic league, while Juventus wasted this opportunity. Juventus should be able to learn a lot from Inter Milan and Milan, to be honest I am quite disappointed with the old lady's team now because they are not as strong as before.

Even though they are still in the Champions League zone, Juventus' current position is not completely convincing because Bologna is playing more consistently than Juventus this season and has only won 1 defeat in the last 5 matches, which means they have only lost 3 points while Juventus have only won 1 win in the last 5 matches and 3 draws which means Juventus has lost 9 points in the last 5 matches and if this continues it will be very disappointing, especially for Juventus fans who are really looking forward to Juventus performing well like before.

AS Roma is trying hard to replace Bologna in the 4th place and I am optimistic they can do it. Indeed, Bologna plays impressive this season but Roma is also on the same track and they will wait for the right moment to take over precisely on April 21, obviously Roma can be relied upon when playing at home. For Juventus yeah I am also sure they will secure a ticket to the Champions League next season I mean they always have a way to do it, even though Juventus play bad lately but I'm sure they are just 'playing' in the game.

The real battle will occur if the match this season is 3 matches left it will be a determinant for teams to take their places in the last season, my focus remains on AS Roma vs Bologna and 2 teams in the relegation zone because they have no choice but to fight as much as possible while Inter Milan is safe at the top of the standings and Salernitana is confirmed to be degraded.

Roma took off with great momentum after Mourinho left. Bologna is playing its team season. They are amazing this year. Of course, Juventus could fall out of the UCL rankings if they suffer such losses, but realistically, I don't think that will happen. I think they will finish the league in the top 3 places and take part in the UCL next year.

Bologna is indeed more consistent than Rome. and yes, Roma could lose the match against Bologna. But because the match is near the end of April, there could be changes in performance for these two teams. It could be that at that time Bologna had lost their consistency and so did Roma. So it can be said that everything is still uncertain and we have to wait a few more weeks before making further judgments regarding Bologna and Roma. But regarding Inter Milan, they are certainly comfortable at the top and will win the title this season.

It is no longer correct to compare Inter and Juventus. There were big differences between the two teams and Juventus threw in the towel on the league with consecutive points losses and their only aim is now to gain qualification in the UCL. Inter has been winning consistently since the beginning of the year. As a result, they will be the winners this year. Juve, on the other hand, can already start thinking about next year.

Inter has fought a good fight to achieved a huge amount of points in the Italian league competition, because they really prepared well to fight any teams that they are going to face in this season and they have defeated many teams to acquired the first position. Juventus that was creating pressure on Inter from the beginning of this tournament, they have lose some points that made Inter to gap them very well and it will be difficult for such pressure to be among Inter and Juventus again. Bologna has played well in this season to defeated some teams to get to where they are right now, I believe they will defeat Roma to achieve another points again.

Difference between Bologna and Roma is very small, only three points and it's too early to conclude Bologna will win and Roma will lose it. They have opposite strength, with Bologna it is their strong defense and with Roma it is their powerful attacking. Bologna with not too good attacking, can easily have issue to score goals and get three points. If they fail to score goal, it is nearly unable to win and get three points in their match and it will be chance for Roma.

Roma in contrast, have good attacking power but if their defense system can not cover Mile Svillar, scoring goals might not be enough to help Roma win and have three points in their match. This race between Bologna and Roma is very interesting but there are other clubs ready to join this race too like Atalanta, Napoli.

The shocked and disappointed defeat in Champions League round of 16 actually affected Inter Milan. They returned to Serie A, played against with Napoli with not best mental condition so that this draw is not so surprising result with me.

Inter's match against Napoli was beyond the expectations of the gamblers because I'm sure the hopes of the gamblers were that Inter managed to win against Napoli. However, if you look at the number of times Inter kicked the opponent, up to 19 times but failed to score another goal and this shows that Napoli has increased defense.

It is indeed very sad to see Juventus currently, from their last three matches without a single win, even against a weak team like Genoa. Initially they were favorites to win the Serie A trophy and fought hard with Inter Milan, but now they have to compete with AC Milan to win second place. After being taken over by Inter, Juventus' performance worsened and it could be said that the players' enthusiasm and self-confidence decreased and I think this happened because of Allegri's fault.

Juventus should have the courage to fire Allegri, because until now Juventus' game has not improved even though Juventus' players are very good. If Allegri is still retained until the end of the season, it is feared that Juventus will be out of the top four competition until the end of the season. Juventus must take bold action like As Roma, just look at As Roma always winning after firing coach Jose Mourinho and replacing De Rossi.

You mean Roma lose the race against Bologna? The points difference between these two teams is just three points, a non sustainable gap which could change rapidly.
From what I see, Bologna don't have many hard games to play except from Roma itself, Napoli and Juventus. In the other side, Roma didn't lose any game after the signing of the new coach but they have harder games to play. Apart from these mentioned above, there is Atalanta and AC Milan that might be challenging..

Juventus can still fight but it is not an easy thing because in the last few matches they actually seemed to lose momentum to make a breakthrough which in the end it had to make their points reduced because they couldn't get full points in a match. Looking at the rest of the schedule in the rest of the season this time for Juventus i think its not something easy because of the remaining 9 matches there are still some tough matches like facing Lazio, Milan, Fiorentina and even Bologna which will definitely make the situation less predictable with their current performance.



Although some clubs are still below them in terms of the game and the quality of the club i think it is not much different where Lazio and Fiorentina are still able to trouble Juventus in the end as for Bologna even though the quality of their players is still far below Juventus but we are aware that Bologna performance this season can't be underestimated especially with very good statistics now it could make Juventus confused.
If their target is second place then indeed in the remaining matches they have to make a difference because with the current performance im sure they will not be able to be in second place and even their points could be overtaken by the club below if Juventus' performance continues like this.

In this fixtures ahead for Juventus, they should be able to win those matches because they know what they stand to lose if they don’t win in those matches, their position won’t be worth dependent on to qualify for the champions league competition. This teams will also feel not comfortable playing against a team like Juventus. They know what they’re fighting for but will be scared not to be defeated by Juventus which in comparison to them are better team than them. Juventus are still open to the champions league competition and with the remaining fixtures for them, they should be able to finish in a good position to secure the spot of UCL.

For the current top position we will not doubt Inter because it is likely that they will be at the top of the standings at the end of the season and get the Scudetto this season but for the second place I don't think it will be certain that Juventus can be there because seeing from the conditions that are happening now and the last few matches that Juventus have gone through are not very good making them currently in 3rd place and their position is shifted by Milan.
Juventus must work hard if they really want to be in the runner up because after all their competition is still very tight for the race for second place even though it is currently only 2 clubs (Juventus and Milan) but if their performance does not change and remains the same as the previous few matches then indeed they must release the second position.

Not having Juventus in the UCL is not that interesting even though there are 4 representatives from Serie A in the UCL this season. Juventus' opportunity to appear in the UCL next season is still very open. The difference in points with Bologna will not be an obstacle for Juventus from qualifying because Bologna is not a consistent team in my opinion. In fact, I think Bologna will be shifted by AS Roma and Roma will be among the four teams from Serie A to appear in the UCL next season.

Bologna is not an opponent that will make things difficult for Juventus and their match is still too far away. Juventus needs to focus on fighting Lazio and Fiorentina because in the two matches Bologna will also face teams in the relegation zone so there is a chance for Bologna to get full points.

Luciano Spalleti was promising and he led the club to glory last season, everything worked smooth for them and they become champions. It was a difficult tasks but at the end, winning the league title was important and straight for Napoli. Perhaps this season, huge difference is spotted because we can see Napoli eliminated from the UEFA Champions League by Barcelona and sitting 7th position when it comes to Seria A table.

Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis is experienced and not in a hurry to sack any manager, there's absolutely good time frame for these new managers, he ensured he's picking the best alternative to sits into the shoes of Luciano Spalleti this season. Among these elite teams, Napoli remained the main club that let's their guards down. Everything declined for Napoli the moment, Luciano Spalleti decided to exits the club after winning the scudetto with the Naples, it was a deserved moment for the club's growth.

In fact, Inter milan is already quite far ahead of its closest competitors and I don't think they will be under any pressure in their efforts to win the Scudetto this season. Moreover, Inter milan currently does not have a busy schedule after they were eliminated from the Champions League and of course they can now focus all their energy on becoming champions this season. For Juventus and Ac milan, they no longer have a chance to compete with Inter milan because they are already far behind Inter Milan.

Bologna will face Salernitana in the next match, which of course is the biggest opportunity they have to maintain their ranking in the top 4. For Roma, of course they want to reach the top 4 because that is the big target they are focusing on, looking at the remaining matches, I think Roma can reach the top 4 if they really focus on the remaining matches this season.

The opportunity for Juventus to qualify for the UCL is still very open. Indeed, the points gap with Bologna and AS Roma is very close, but I think Juventus can still get that spot. The draw with Genoa was not the end for Juventus in getting a ticket to the UCL. There are still several matches, 2 of Juventus schedule are against AS Roma and Bologna, this could be an opportunity for Juventus to maintain its position at least in 3rd place in the standings.

In the last eight Serie A matches: 1 Win, 3 Losses, and 4 Draws. 7 points in 8 games. lol
I'm losing hope, Juve will not qualify for the Champions League. This team cannot compete anymore.

Juve used to dominate Serie A by scoring 3-5 goals a game, now they can't even score a single goal against a bad club.
Radical changes are needed, starting with coaches and players, A new and serious football project. Juve must learn from Roma.

Indeed, this drew match did not have much influence on Inter. Because after all, Inter has succeeded in Serie A, without a competitor who can take over its position. So, they don't need to think anymore about who will win the league. For, Inter is the candidate. And yes, the good thing about Napoli is that they have continued their unbeaten track in Serie A during the change of new coach. But, many of the results were draws. But at least this won't be so problematic in the future.

Unfortunately, it is really quite difficult for Napoli because they will face a top club again in the next match. And they are the first party. Napoli will host the match. This will be quite interesting, whether the result will be another draw or whether there will be a surprise victory from Napoli.
And the results of this match could have quite an impact on the position of Atalanta and Napoli, in the race for number 6 in Serie A.

This is the same thing happening in both Laliga. Just the way Juventus was unable to continue on the competition with Inter for the title race, amd now they are currently on the third position, is the same Girona could no longer be in the title race with Real Madrid, and they are also in the third position. I know that this is a coincidence.

Juventus will finish on top four, no matter the decline in their performance, because they were able to maintain the second position for a while which added a lot of numbers to their points. They just need to be careful not to draw more than they win, but I don't think that there will be any big challenge that will make them risk the fourth position to a club behind them.
