Actually, Napoli have played quite well. But unfortunately Napoli was careless at the end of the match. Udinese was also quite good at blocking every attack made by Napoli. And Udinese did not lose their enthusiasm to equalize until the last minute. And as a result, Udinese dramatically managed to equalize the score in the match. But I think if Udinese could have been braver in building attacks from the start then maybe they could have even scored an earlier equaliser. But Udinese players are often caught offside. A draw may be quite disappointing for Napoli fans but for Udinese fans this is a match result that is not too bad. Because they finally managed to get 1 goal in the added minute of time thanks to their persistence.

In fact, if you pay attention to Bologna and AS Roma both failed to take advantage of opportunities, Bologna achieved a draw in the last four matches and failed to overtake Juventus even though this was a good opportunity for Bologna to overtake when Juventus was only able to achieve a draw in many matches, the same thing was also done. AS Roma in their last five matches suffered one defeat and two draws, they also failed to overtake Bologna to be in fourth place. To be honest, the competition between Juventus, Bologna, AS Roma and Atalanta is very interesting to watch because they still have the opportunity to improve their position depending on their performance in the remaining matches and I see Atalanta doing well by achieving consecutive wins and currently occupying the previous position occupied by AS Roma.

Atalanta this time was really impressive to compete in series A despite having a very important schedule in the final UEL and this is one proof that Atalanta is able to maintain his position not to be shifted by Roma, although De Rossi is currently trying to pursue the difference in points. It will be very in vain because Atalanta will continue to add points to the rest of this match.
Roma only needs a great striker in the next season because of this weakness I see from the attack line that does not have the ability to get a score in every match.

let`s say these are the last fun matches we will see in Serie A: 1) the matches for the last places in the Champions League, they will be very tough matches 2) matches with key points for survival, see the Sassuolo Inter match which saw Sassuolo win
these matches are also particularly difficult to bet on

i continue to bet, but i know is hard to guess right results

Because in latest matches, Roma played against strong teams like Bologna, Napoli, Leverkusen and Juventus. You can not expect Roma win all these matches but the defeat by Bologna is a shocked result for them. They did played good in attacking if we only consider how they created opportunities in these matches but about efficiency of attacking, they played bad recent matches.

Their attacking players wasted many opportunities that caused to these bad results. They can avoid loss, can win these matches if their players can convert opportunities to goal at a better rate.

Atalanta now hold a good control of a race with Roma, with one match to play and potentially can get three points from it, and with better goal difference too. They only need a draw in a direct match with Roma to defend their fifth position. Chance for Roma to take a fifth position in this season is not too good.

I don't think the draw against Juventus was fair for both teams. But if Roma were to secure the 3 points throughout the game, they would remain in the 5th position. Roma has dropped to 6th place due to the draw against Juventus, I don't know what is happening in their last three games, Roma's performance seems to become weak, they drew 2 and lost one against Leverkusen in the Europa competition. Roma has defeated AC Milan this season, I did not think they would have a problem against Juventus since their opponents drew their last 3 games. Roma made a lot of attempts to win the match but the victory was not on their side, they managed to secure one point, which is not good enough for the Champions League position.

Atalanta moved back to the 5th position, after making a comeback against Salernitana in the second half to score two goals, they have the advantage of goal difference to overtake Roma. If a Champions League position is not possible for Roma to get before the end of the season, I think they shouldn't lose their chances to participate in the next Europa competition, since they are already down with two goals against Leverkusen in the Semifinal.

Napoli continues to extend their bad record and this time they won another point after drawing 1-1 against Udinese. It seems that Napoli is beyond help and they have lost all their targets this season. In fact, if they can win then at least they can cut the difference in points from Lazio so they can participate in the conference league.

But we didn't see all that and they actually failed to maintain a narrow lead in the final minutes. Napoli conceded in the minute of injury time and it really hit them because they failed to get full points. If it continues like this I am very sure that the key players will start to leave at the end of the season and join a team that can provide everything better.

However, it must be admitted that the match was very intense between the two teams where they fought each other to get three points even though in the end they had to share the points. Of course, this draw makes it even more difficult for Napoli to compete in the Europa League zone next season, while Udinese's draw opens up hopes of getting out of the Degdarasi zone.

Now Napoli is 9 points behind Atalanta and As Roma who are in the Europa League and Europa Conference League zones with only three matches remaining so it is certain that Napoli will not compete in European competitions next season. In fact, it is very unfortunate that Napoli had to miss out on European competition considering that last season they were a strong team and even managed to win the Serie A title. Napoli have many things to improve for next season, especially since Napoli's defense has to be completely replaced. They failed this season. They always concede goals in the final minutes so they often end up drawing or losing.

This season has been nothing but a rollercoaster for Napoli. All of these happened when they the management of Napoli parted with the coach who won them the Scudetto League Competition for them last season, and I don't really know what happened between them both.
Appointing a manager to take over and was mid yet wasn't able to keep up with the standards from.the former coach. With the poor performance, they will definitely see lots of them players leaving the club at the end of the season for another.

All if the coaches they have all brought in from Rudi Garcia are all mid and haven't done well for the club, I will not put blames on the squad because this same squad with two or three players who left won the Seria A Scudetto League Competition. This is unacceptable for defending champions.

For Inter Milan, They was completely on another level and I'm expecting that they will defend this league much better next season. Whoever wins it Gon go double times whatever they did.

I thought this was going to be a very easy match for Milan to win but I guess I was wrong. Milan has only been able to get one point from this match. And I don't think that is good enough from Milan. At the same time, I have to talk about the massive amount of mistakes that are being made by the top teams in the Serie A. Almost all the top 4 teams are not performing as well as they should be in my opinion. Milan (2nd), Juventus(3rd), and Bologna(4th), all of them have only one win in the last five matches and that is just not good enough. Especially at this crucial stage of the season. But still, the teams that are at the mid-table are not being able to take advantage of that.

Anyway, I don't think this is going to be a big problem for Milan as they should still be able to stay where they are on the table. Good one point for Genoa though

If not that the season has gone far and there remaining matches are very few Atalanta would have actually have a hope of qualifying for champions league next season because they are very close and however the only way they could possibly qualify now is only if Bologna will lose most of there remaining matches but is not possible considering Bologna current performance and the remaining clubs they will be meeting so perhaps Atalanta should just focus on qualifying on the Europa League next season because at this moment Roma targets is also on the Europa League qualifier so any lapses from Atalanta could deprive them on there chance of qualifying.

Getting 1 point for Udinese really means a lot in this match. Because currently Udinese is struggling to get out of the relegation zone. But currently Udinese is still 2 points behind Empoli. So Udinese is still in the relegation zone at this time. Meanwhile for Napoli getting a draw also doesn't mean much anymore. Because Napoli this season looks like they will fail to achieve anything. Even tickets to the European League are still being fought over by Roma and Atalanta. And this season, Napoli no longer seems to have big ambitions. Now Napoli just have to focus on improving their squad and fighting better next season.

Many clubs want Osimhen. So several clubs from the Premier League are also rumored to be interested in Napoli's mainstay striker. But I still doubt Napoli will let him go.

The match ended on a frustrating note for Napoli but it gave hope to Udinese. This is the effect of missing chances which would have assisted the current champions in winning the game. They controlled the game and had more shots on targets. Victor Osimhen was on target and he also had a goal overruled when VAR declared that it was offside. The Nigeria striker has been on the radar of many clubs but it seems he is comfortable with Chelsea. The Blues are willing to pay some part of the buyout clause and balance the rest with players which will include Romelu Lukaku and another player. PSG is also monitoring the future of Mbappe which might come to light after the Champions League. With that one point they secure, Udinese will keep struggling to remain in the Seria A.

Roma have indeed failed to take advantage of the opportunity to collect more points to get closer to Bologna. Bologna in the last two matches could only continue to get a draw. But it is really regrettable because Roma also had the same result in the last two matches, namely a draw. Now Roma must accept the consequences for failing to take advantage of the opportunities they had. And now Roma is ranked 6th. Atalanta has succeeded in overtaking Roma, which was originally ranked 5th. And Atalanta also has the opportunity to add more points because Atalanta has 1 postponed match which they can take advantage of at the end of this season. It would be very painful if in the end Roma failed to even be in 5th place. Unless Roma managed to beat Atalanta in the 36th match. Then Roma could return to 5th place.

The result match between Salernitana vs Atalanta is predictable because without any problem Atalanta can win from Salernitana yesterday and during the match i can see Atalanta was very dominate the game with 70% ball possession and this makes Salernitana cannot out from the pressure and Gianluca Scamacca and Teun Koopmeiners scored 1 goal each and help Atalanta to collect 3 points from this match and this result is very important for Atalanta because currently they have same points with Roma 60 points but Atalanta can able to taking over 5th place from Roma because from goals difference Atalanta is much better

For other match Napoli has resumes their poor results yesterday because they only playing draw from Udinese and actually Napoli can leading the match from Osimhen goal but unfortunately the late goal from Isaac Success makes them have to failed to win and total Napoli has through an 4 latest matches without the winning results and with only 3 matches remaining and 9 difference points i think it is impossible for Napoli to finish at Europa League zone and their realistic target is Europa Conference League now but Napoli have to playing more consistent to realized this target

Atalanta struggle is not over yet, friends, they still have three matches to face, which will be against Roma on May 13, Lecce on May 19 and Torino on May 26. If they are able to win the remaining matches, they will get 9 additional points which means there is a chance for Atalanta to take the top 4 positions in the standings.

Napoli failed to used their opportunity well to achieve victory from Udinese home, because there was a lot of opportunity for their strikers to use to score goals from the first half but they missed used them that made the first half to ended up draw 0-0. Udinese players really stood on their ground to challenge Napoli in this match not to score more than 1 goal from the match, because their defense was functioning well and their midfield was very good to make the match difficult for Napoli, which they did to reduced the strength of Napoli in the second half. Many people thought that Napoli will going to maintain the one goal till the end of the match to achieve victory from Udinese, but it was a surprised strategy seen Udinese using extra time to equalized the goal 1-1 draw to share points with Napoli to frustrated their plan .

Yes, Juventus can still maintain 3rd place until the end of the season if it is able to win all the remaining matches, but if Juventus is only able to achieve a draw like in its last 4 matches then there is still a chance for Bologna to overtake because their gap is very narrow and Juventus is not very optimal. Bologna is also not completely consistent it same like Juventus, they often waste opportunities when Juventus only achieve a draw. Bologna also experienced the same thing, so up to now Bologna has not been able to overtake even though they are only 2 points away, even though by winning 1 match Bologna can overtake Juventus.

The matches that Juventus will play in the remaining 3 matches against Monza, Salernitana and also Bologna against mid-table clubs and against clubs at the bottom of the standings should be easy matches for Juventus and must be won but against Bologna it is quite difficult to predict what will happened but Bologna has a big chance to beat Juventus because they are playing at home and determining who is the strongest between the two. In the previous meeting they were only able to achieve a draw, will this time also be a draw like before?

It's funny how Inter Milan made sure that the title race comes to a close and they (Inter) made other clubs to start competing for the top 4 to play CL football instead of the league title.
Atalanta are having a very strong vibe in the remaining part of this campaign and I can't see them not finishing in the top 4. I prefer Roma to make way for Atalanta because their form is far way better than the Roma side.
Roma are just managing to be at their very best, I think their poor performance start when Mourinho left the side, he (Mourinho) could have done better and they won't have been in this very position struggling to stay in the top 4, too bad for the Roma team because nothing is stopping Atalanta from securing a spot in the UCL next campaign.

Atalanta already won their late match and now have 60 points as same as Roma but with better goal difference, +5 goals more than Roma, they jump to a fifth position. Atalanta have one extra match from a suspended match and it potentially can help them to make 3-point difference against Roma. Bologna have 4 points more than both Atalanta and Roma and they are leading in this race for a fourth position.

Things start to be bad for Roma because with this result, even if they beat Atalanta in a direct match this weekend in Serie A, but if Atalanta win the suspended match, both clubs will have same total points but with 5-goal difference it will be a disadvantage for Roma.

Wait a minute, I don't see on the schedule any more matches between Juventus and Napoli. Maybe what is meant is Napoli vs Bologna? Or Bologna vs Juventus? Because this is discussing the possibility of Bologna staying in 4th position or being taken by Atalanta or Roma.

However, Atalanta also has a chance, so if they can consistently win, it is possible that Atalanta will have the opportunity to rise. but it just depends on how they are.

Moreover, Atalanta still has to fight in the Europa League and Copa Italia, so their focus is still quite divided. And also, they need significant and consistently strong performance, so that they can really rise in position. And it's still quite interesting to see who will be in 4-6th place in Serie A until the end.
