Inter Milan is too strong for Frosinone. Frosinone players actually have tried their best, they have made many shot attempts but they got no goals. Actually Frosinone has better stats if we consider the number of the opportunities in scoring goals. However, Inter Milan has much better quality of players. They only need 5 shot on target to score 5 goals. Meanwhile Frosinone has 8 shot on target but result in no goals at all. This clearly shows the difference of the quality of the squad of both teams.

With this bad result got by Frosinone, Udinese has a chance to get out from the relegation zone if they can win against Lecce. But honestly I really doubt it because Udinese has very bad stats for the last 5 matches. Lecce has great stats and they will play at home for the upcoming match.  

---

Inter Milan scored 5 goals, Lautaro Martinez scored a single goal.

That probably describes it best. Does anyone quickly know what the best season in Italy was like for a team ever? They are now at 92 points and there are two more games to go, which sounds to me it must be at pretty close to the best result if they win the last two games.

That's a fun fact which I didn't have in the back of my mind. Both losses against Sassuolo, must feel like a title to them even when they get relegated. Bad joke, but seriously, beating Inter twice is unreal.

Champions Inter put on an away show today. They scored 5 goals against relegation-threatened Frosinone. It was interesting that the goals came from five different players. Despite the fact that Inter secured the title weeks ago, the players are not in a holiday mood, they are still fighting hard. It's strange that Inter have only lost twice this season, both times to Sassuolo who are in the relegation zone. Lautaro Martinez had a great season at Inter. He had his top scoring season with 24 goals in the league.

Everyone will definitely know what Atalanta will do in the upcoming match and yes Atalanta will use a defensive strategy with reserve players because Piero Gasperini will definitely rest their main players so as not to experience unwanted things such as injuries.
So Atalanta can't do anything except prioritize the UEL match even though they have 2 weeks, but at least Piero Gasperini as Atalanta coach will continue to look after his players.
Atalanta looks like they have a chance to maintain their position, but that doesn't mean Roma can't maintain their position because Roma doesn't have any pressure so it's easier to organize a strategy to get a Champions League ticket.

I don't think the Europa League competition where Atalanta has made it to the finals will affect their performance in the league nor the remaining matches they have before the league will be over, moreover Atalanta is also fighting to see if they can get to the top4 since they are 4 points behind Bologna who is in the 4th place and in the same position with As Roma though with one match in hand so I think they will have nothing to lose if they secure the position in the league before moving to play the Europa league finals.

AS Roma may have proven to be in a better form right now but looking at the remaining games, I think Atalanta will still have the chances of defeating Roma, winning the rest of the games in the league which will give them the chances of being in the European competition next season and if they end up defeating Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa league finals, they get the ticket of playing in the champions league.

Atalanta has an important match against Leverkusen in the European final. This will divide their focus and concentration. AS Roma has no challenges because it has been eliminated from European competition. This is an interesting match. Roma is trying to win the match because they want to secure a slot for the European league next season. But I'm not sure they will have a chance of the champions league. If you look at the number of points and remaining matches, Atalanta is more favored because they still have 1 match more and they will play against a team in the middle of the standings. I think even if As Roma can beat Atalanta it will not change the position in the final standings.

Juventus always performed inconsistently since the season 2020-2021. It is not surprising if Juventus performed inconsistently again this season. As long as Allegri becomes the manager of Juventus, I assume Juventus won't play consistently. This is the responsibility of the coach to keep the consistency of the team performance during the season. I see Allegri has no ability to maintain the good performance of Juventus in the whole season.

There are 3 matches left (vs Salernitana, vs Bologna, and vs Monza), Juventus only has 1 tough match. Even if Juventus fails to get points when they play against Bologna, they still can secure 6 points in the matches against Salernitana and Monza. It is enough to keep their position in the top 4. Atalanta and AS Roma can't chase the points of Juventus if Juventus can win against Salernitana and Monza.

I never expected Juventus to play consistently. Although they could play well in the beginning of the season, it was very easy to predict they will decrease their performance after some key players got injured for a long time. Allegri isn't a typical coach who has a good alternative plan for his team. When the key players were unavailable, the team started to perform badly.  

There is no reason that Juventus will fail getting full points against Salernitana. It is the weakest team in Serie A, Juventus must score many goals. Salernitana performed very badly during this season, they are in the bottom of Serie A standings. This is actually an easy match for Juventus, they must secure 3 points.

The upcoming match between Roma and Atalanta promises to be very tough and interesting match, with both teams displaying strong form in recent games. Predicting the winner is a tough task, given the competitive nature of the teams. However, considering Atalanta's current form and the advantage of playing at home, they might have the upper hand. Their recent performances suggest they are in prime shape to secure a victory.Nevertheless, Roma will undoubtedly give it their all, aiming to secure crucial points that could bolster their chances of qualifying for either the Europa League or even the Champions League. The clash between these two formidable sides is bound to be captivating, as each team strives to outdo the other on the pitch, making it a spectacle for football enthusiasts eagerly anticipating the outcome.

Well... Roma made a choice and it turned out to be unsuccessful - they spent their energy, but achieved nothing in the game with Bayer except moral devastation (it’s probably hard to be beaten in the last minutes of the game when there was hope for a good outcome ahead).
At the moment, the quotes for the game Atalanta - Roma look like this:

2.00 - 3.60 - 3.60

It seems to me that Roma is overrated, plus due to the factors that have already been mentioned, Roma is at a disadvantage, so an easy bet is on Atalanta.

The situation of Roma before De Rossi's arrival put them in a situation where they have to fix a bit of loops and come on top. Before now, Mourinho has had the  responsibility to ensure good league game results and I won't blame him much for the times of loss because their opponents, their opponents in some situations have been too title contenders and personally wouldn't embrace a loss based on the goal they have for themselves.

 De Rossi has been given time to show himself. They're playing the league games and as well as the European games, their attention is on 2 trophies, European trophy will be a bit difficult for them and I don't think that currently De Rossi would be able to scale through all the clubs that will be presented to him to face in each advancement phase of the tournament. Even in the Serie A, it'll be difficult for them to gain the top stand so it's just best that they focus their strength and struggle to maintaining a good result that'll see them scale through to the European cups next season.

 De Rossi can still make a great team from Roma. The club is eager to see this man take them to better heights next season. They did well in staying up until the semi finals stage of the UEL and also staying ahead till the last minutes of the game against Leverkusen yesterday. It wasn't much of a good game for them but it's commendable still so far as they've performed in their season's endeavors.

Seriously The defeat was very disappointing to Roma, and this has reduced the chance of getting to continue in the competition because Atlanta is currently going to be playing at home, and they won’t take it easy with them. The fact that Roma are not that good that I will give them hope of winning Atlanta even in their home makes me believe that if they go to Atlanta home, the game will be a very difficult game for them.

So for me, this game cannot be predicted currently because Atlanta is also not a team to underestimate. With this, I think Roma are now going to lose a point, and Lozio will have a high chance of going higher. Maybe the Roma position will be their faith after this match, so let's wait for the result. 

I think that Bologna will be able to retain their place in the Champions League, but they would need to win the last few games so as not to worry about being overtaken by Atalanta, who are now getting into good form. But despite some decline in the team, Bologna does not lose, Motta was able to establish a good defensive game, this is what Italian football has always been famous for. If Motta does not receive better offers, he will remain in Bologna. Juventus fans came out in support of Allegri, they don’t need Conte and Motta. 

If you said it a few seasons ago of course we would have believed that Salernitana is an easy opponent for Juventus, but for this season, sorry guys, I think Salernitana can also be a threat to Juventus because indeed the performance owned by Juventus this season is very bad, even you can see the journey of Juventus this season which continues to lose points and most of the teams that make Juventus lose points are mediocre teams and Considered weak, Empoli, Cagliari and even Udinese seem to have now become difficult opponents for Juventus, besides that you can see the first meeting of Salernitana and Juventus this season, Salernitana even almost made Juventus lose the match but fortunately Juventus could comeback in the 90+1 minute to make the score 1-2 for Juventus victory.

Honestly, I personally even for this season will bet more on the victory of the team that is the opponent of Juventus even if it is a relegation team, because indeed Juventus poor game and also their mentality that has been lost makes it difficult for them now to win, for now of course Juventus must be able to get the victory,  Because with 3 games left, of course, their position in the standings is still not safe with a very small difference in points with the team below, if Juventus lose their remaining 3 matches then most likely they will not play in the Champions League next season.

Juventus performance this season have been absolutely inconsistent but if they had continued with their performances from the start id the season, they would've rather been challenging for the Italian Serie A title by this time of the season instead of fighting for a top four finish. The reason why I think Juventus are surely gonna finish the season in the top four of the Italian Serie and is because fifth placed AS Roma who are fighting for top four finish failed to fully utilize the times Juventus lost points. Juventus
 inconsistency this season wasn't expected at the start of the season but that has gone on to be their reality.
They'll play against Salernitana this weekend at their home ground and despite the home team's unpredictability this season, I think they're surely gonna get the maximum three points from that particular game.

A team like Salernitana should not be such a difficult obstacle for Juventus who are looking to win again at the end of this season. Because if we talk about no one being harmed in that match, actually Juventus wouldn't lose much if they could lose at home to the Salernitana team. Because Juventus will also be able to compete in the Champions League next season even if they don't finish in third place at the end of this season, but in this weekend's match that is actually not the problem for Juventus. But it would be more embarrassing for the Juventus team themselves if they could lose to a relegated team this season in their own home game.

Napoli Vs Bologna

This match is going to be an interesting one. I would actually like to see Napoli win some matches. They have been performing really badly in recent times. I hope they will be able to turn things around. I know that at this point it does not make any difference at all on the table. At least not for Napoli. But still, they should look to win matches.

But on the other hand, it is going to be very important match for Bologna. They need to win this match to actually stay on the fourth position of the table. Because if they lose this one, there is a very good chance that Atalanta will take their position and get ahead of Bologna.

People, have you noticed how many draws Juventus has had lately? That makes sense, it looks rough. However, they are still fighting!  You're right, that third-place spot is not safe at all. This Salernitana game, though, is their chance to make things better. Juve should beat Salernitana easily right now. But never doubt the underdog, especially if they have nothing to lose. Juventus needs to focus and give it their all to show everyone they're still a Champions League team. Here's hoping they bring it because this win is very important for them.

Roma lost and he had to accept that defeat, it was a pretty dramatic match because it ended in a draw, before that I thought that Roma could win the match but Xab Alonso's protege could turn things around, which was previously led by As Roma, the match ended in a draw and Roma had to go home, the victory for Bayer Leverkusen, and congratulations to Bayer Leverkusen for reaching the final match which will meet Atalanta.

Atalanta won in a very good situation, he managed to beat Marseille in the Europa league, and in the domestic league Atalanta also got the best position to be able to reach the champions league ticket next season, the match that will be faced by Roma is quite heavy indeed, but I think with the current situation of Rome, where they are more focused on the domestic league should be more able to establish themselves to compete with Atalanta, they are not as weak as we think if they bring out the best strength, and as far as H2H with Atalanta is quite good for Rome.

I also hope Thiago Motta can stay at Bologna next season of course, to give a good performance next season because Bologna will also play in the Champions League. But until now, at least the rumors that I have received seem to be that Thiago Motta is interested in other big teams for next season. At the same time,in reality Thiago Motta contract also ends on 30 June 2024 and of course, if Bologna still needs Thiago Motta then Bologna should extend Thiago Motta contract from now on. Because if not, of course it will be easy for other teams to bring in Thiago Motta next season, because those interested in appointing Thiago Motta to be head coach are also big teams and not mediocre teams.

I don't even know what Bologna officials are waiting for?    I bet Bologna's target at the beginning of the season wasn't this high. Thiago Motta made a really huge impact this season.

Carrying this team to the Champions League among really challenging opponents isn't an easy task in this league. He must have already earned the board's trust. If he doesn't plan to leave his job after the end of the season then they shouldn't let him go. They still have work to do with the help of Thiago Motta, like the Champions League.    While we all are talking about Xabi Alonso the most we shouldn't overlook the success of other managers as well.
