Honestly, Roma needed the win a lot more, they keep missing chances to pass Bologna, with 3 games left I think, it is not going to happen obviously, Bologna lost so many points in the last few weeks and Roma failed to capitalize on that every single time, when you miss your chances like that, eventually there will be no more chances.

I think it is quite obvious that we are going to end up with a good result one way or another eventually, so we should probably consider what we can do as something quite important. We should be seeing Roma staying at fifth, and to be fair Juventus is lucky as well because while they were a title contender during the first half of the season, they dropped to a level where Bologna could put them in fourth place if they are not careful.

Because they really understand that there is nothing to fight over anymore. However, they will remain in their position. Rather than causing injuries to the players or other undesirable things. maybe that's better. However, especially for Roma, this club is actually in a position that is very at risk of being shifted.

As is currently happening, when Atalanta is competing and leading 1-2, it is very likely that Atalanta will win. As a result, Atalanta will be the one who will shift Roma's position in 5th place. Yes, Roma will definitely be shifted, because currently their number of points is the same. Or you can take advantage of this opportunity to immediately take over.

And the match between Atalanta vs Roma next week will be one of the key matches for both of them. Because, if they are able to beat one or the other, then there is a big possibility for both of them to move up or even stay in 3rd place. This will definitely make Roma a little frustrated because they also still have another super match, Roma against Leverkusen.

Prediction Atalanta vs AS Roma



Source: betimate

At the moment, Atalanta is beating Salernitana 2-1 and I think that in the remaining 20 minutes it is more likely that Atalanta will score a goal than vice versa. Bad news for Roma: now after the game in Leverkusen they will go to visit Atalanta and will have to win in order to be in fifth place and get a ticket to the Champions League. But it seems to me that the fairy tale for Roma is already over and in fact they will find themselves in the same place where they were with Mourinho but without the Europa League final 

Inter have already secured the Scudetto, Milan is quite safe in the runnerup position, while Juventus, Bologna, Roma and Atalanta will continue to be involved in fierce competition to finish in their target place. They will be fighting over tickets to the Champions League and European League, where changes in position in the standings will definitely occur, because they will face each other in the remaining matches ahead. This competition certainly attracts fans to watch their matches, before the season actually ends.

Meanwhile, if you look at the number of points collected, Juventus and Bologna will be able to lock tickets to the Champions League, while Roma looks like they will head to the Europa League again. Atalanta has two possibilities, they could have the chance to go to the European Confederation League, and also have the chance to go to the Champions League next season if they succeed in winning the Europa League trophy this season.

On the other hand, the match between Salernitana and Atalanta has been going on for one round, Atalanta is still trailing 1-0 for the time being. This should be an easy match for Atalanta, and there is still one more half to turn things around or equalize. Atalanta needs capital to host Marseille in the second leg of the Europa League, they cannot afford to lose today.

The first half of the match is almost about to end. And the score is definitely surprising for almost everyone. Because almost all of us expected that the score was going to be the opposite of what it is right now, lol . Salernitana has been able to score in the 18th minute of the match. And since then Atalanta has actually dominated the match. But they have not been able to score and get level in this match. 44 minutes have already been played in this match and I don't think the score is going to change before the halftime break.

But I expect in the second half the score is definitely going to change and Atalanta might actually give a really good comeback and in the end win the match. Because if they do not win, they will not be able to give Roma competition for the fifth position in the table.

Juventus still has a chance to establish third place at the end of the season. Juventus will play Salernitana and Monza and I think Juventus can finish those matches with a win. The deciding match was against Bologna. If Juventus wins then they have secured third place and Bologna could be overtaken by Roma. And if Bologna wins then they will get third place and As Roma's chances of getting the top four will become increasingly slim. This will make every match between the top 6 teams very interesting to watch. Currently, it is beyond expectations that Atalanta lost 0-1 to Salernitana in the 30th minute. Hope Atalanta can make a comeback.

Thank you for corrections, I think Atalanta also have 35 matches already. I'm not aware about their matches before. So, this condition can change everything for Juventus. 1 winning and 1 draw is a must from them to secure 5th positions. Will see current Atalanta matches vs Salernitana. So far Salernitana already scored 1 goal. If Salernitana can maintaim their winning, this will help Juventus going to UCL next season.

When the club they like or support gets unsatisfactory results, they (the fans) will definitely be disappointed with the results achieved, that is certain. However, we also have to see who the opponents they face are, and Juventus' opponent is AS Roma, which is not easy to beat. In fact, I see this draw as a pretty good result for them, because it is not easy to win against As Roma, which has shown improvement since being handled by De Rossi.

It is very unfortunate when Juventus continues to achieve unsatisfactory results like this, even though at the start of the season they were quite promising with their performance being quite good. However, again towards the end of the season they actually declined which made them have to work harder to maintain their position. If they are consistent enough, then they will be able to compete with Inter Milan and maybe Inter Milan won't lock up the title so quickly, but they can't do that.

I always think that it is better to make sure instead of somehow managing to do it. You know, it is going to be better for Juventus if they actually make sure that they will go to the Champions League competition next season instead of just doing the bare minimum and letting fate decide what happens. And I don’t think Juventus is going to perform so badly that they will only get one point from the remaining matches. I believe they will be able to make sure that they are going to go to the Champions League competition next season. And it should not take Juventus a lot to get one win in the last three matches. I know they have not performed very well recently but still, Juventus should not be so bad.

One of the three games that Juventus will play in the remainder of the season is very crucial for them, Juventus will play an away match at Bologna's headquarters, which is ranked fourth in the standings. The first meeting between these two teams when playing at Juventus Headquarters ended in a draw (1-1), Juventus will have difficulty in this game because Bologna will also be aiming for victory in order to maintain their safe position in the UCL zone.

Bologna is only two points behind Juventus, they are also trying to stay away from Roma, who are only four points behind, who are one rank below them, while Atalanta, who have only played 33 games, is also a threat to Bologna. Juventus is increasingly under pressure in the remaining three matches due to losing too many points in the last four matches. The competition for the top four positions will continue until the end of the season because if Juventus and Bologna make mistakes, their position could be taken by Roma and Atalanta.

Juventus must avoid the worst that could happen to them in the remaining matches this season. Even though Italy will send five representatives to the Champions League next season because they managed to occupy first place in terms of the number of coefficient points, they must maintain their performance to prevent qualifying for the UCL in last place to avoid playing in the UCL Playoffs next season.

I want to say that if Roma actually are obsessed with the Europa League, and if they are still thinking that they will be able to make a big comeback even though they have a big deficit, it might be a problem.

Because of the way Leverkusen has played in this season, I do not think they are going to actually lose that badly in the second leg against Roma.

Is it possible? Yes
But is it probable? No

So we have to think about probabilities instead of possibilities. Roma should also do that as well. It is highly unlikely that they will actually be able to overcome that deficit. I am not saying that Roma is a bad team. But every odds point against their win. And now Roma has also not been able to win against Juventus. So this is going to put additional pressure on them to win the Europa League.

Juventus continues to waste the opportunity to be able to strengthen their position in rank 3 this season, the draw they got from Roma is of course quite painful, especially now that Bologna and Roma are getting closer to threatening Juventus position in third place, maybe to qualify for the Champions League next season is still very safe for Juventus,  because this season Serie A get 5 slots to play in the Champions League,  But I don't think it should be for Juventus to waste the rest game  because everything is possible at the end of the season.

For now Juventus needs to improve their performance in order to at least secure 3rd place from the pursuit of other teams especially Serie A only has 3 games left so if they slip of course it will be very difficult to regain that position from Bologna or Roma later, Juventus performance this season is very bad and of course Juventus management should reconsider Allegri as coach,  I think it would be better for Juventus to find another coach who might be better able to get Juventus back as Scudetto contenders next seasons.

The interesting fact here is that nobody thought Juventus would put themselves in a rough spot this season, but still, 3 games left and 6 points ahead. It is still a challenge to make sure that they qualify for the Champions League. Dropping 8 points in 4 games, unbelievable... Imagine Roma wouldn't have dropped points, it would be so crazy dangerous for Juventus. They are still fine, but man Bologna and Juventus are both lucky that Roma messed it up a little bit.

Now for most Serie A clubs there are only 3 matches left except for a few clubs that still have 4 matches to play because Napoli against Udinese and Atalanta against Salernitana will be today.
So for Juventus at the moment they only have 3 matches left instead of 5 matches and looking at the schedule they will do there is 1 opponent that needs to be anticipated more because apart from their focus on the Italian cup final against Atalanta, they also need to think about how to deal with Bologna which we know for now Bologna is a dark horse that was not predicted before.
Juventus points are also for now still not safe because the difference in points is only 2 points with Bologna so if they don't want to be overtaken then as much as possible 3 points they should always get in these last 3 matches because in my opinion it is quite important even though in the end they cannot compete for the Scudetto but at least they can be in the Champions League zone next season.

Of course, all Juventus supporters are very, very disappointed with this draw, because they hope that Juventus can win this match. In several matches that Juventus played, they never showed very good results and their performance dropped drastically in their matches. If Juventus' performance continues like this and cannot provide a good performance in the remaining matches, I am sure that Juventus will be eliminated from the top 3 of the standings, and Bologna will definitely move up to 3rd position. Because I think Bologna's performance is very good, much better than Juventus at the moment. Therefore, Juventus must improve its performance again so that it can win the remaining matches this season in order to remain in 3rd place in the standings.

The competitions between Bologna, Roma and Atalanta to gets last spot of Champion League zone is very interesting because after Bologna and Roma playing draw then this could be good opportunity for Atalanta to cut their points gap and currently Atalanta has 7 points below to Bologna the team from top 4 place but Atalanta still have 2 postponed matches and assuming Atalanta will be able to win from those matches then they will be able to overtake Roma position on League Table and Atalanta is really in the good shape because they still playing at 3 different competitions such as Copa Italy, Serie A and Europa League and the most fantastic is Atalanta still able to managed their consistency until now

Atalanta is very busy now because after the match against Salernitana then Atalanta have to playing against Marseille for semifinal of Europa League and about the match against Salernitana i think Atalanta will gets easy win from this match because we all know Salernitana is very weak this season because from 34 matches Salernitana only able to gets 2 wins and it makes them have to relegated to Serie B and as the favourite the bookmakers provide low odds for Atalanta win @1.31 and i know this is very low odds but i think it safe bets because most likely Atalanta can be the winner of this match

Juventus performance has now dropped drastically when compared to the start of the season, they stayed in the runner-up position for quite a long time, and now their position in third place is also in danger of being ousted by Bologna. It is clear that Juventus is not fine, Allegri squad must immediately recover to achieve victory, which they have found very difficult to achieve in the last few matches. Apart from that, towards the end of the season Juventus must divide their focus between the remaining Serie A matches and the Coppa Italia final. It was their last chance to win their only trophy, and Atalanta cannot be underestimated now, as their performance has been slightly better in the last few matches. Juventus could lose their ticket to appear in the Champions League next season, if they lose the remaining 3 matches with Bologna and Roma appeared consistent. It seems that Allegri will have to be replaced next season, he is no longer suitable to manage Juventus.

If they continue with this inconsistent performance Juventus might eventually miss the champion slot. They have drawn four games at a roll which had made their position shaky. Draws are better than wins but it will be better to lose two games and win two than to draw four. This is because drawing four games will to four points while winning two and losing two will fetch six points. Atalanta is in 57 points so even if they win both outstanding matches, they will just get to 63 points which is below Juventus's 60 points. Atalanta might have to settle for Europa, they will only make it to the UCL if the four top teams drop points while they keep winning.

For a team to be able to win the Italian Serie A title, the team must be consistent from the start of the season till the end of the season and considering the performances of all the Italian teams in the current Serie A campaign, we can authoritatively say that it is Inter Milan that's been consistent all season which is why they're the crowned champions of Italy.
Juventus started the season on a very good note and was considered by many as a serious contender for the Italian Serie A title this season but surprisingly, they starting getting awful results that's now made them a laughing stock. It was in the beginning of the second half of the season that the Old Ladies of Turin started to underperform. The manager Massimiliano Allegri have to seriously access the team by the end of the season and see what he can do to help them improve

I'm not following Serie A much but looking at the standing, Alatanta has played 33 games only while the other teams has played 35 games.
Currently standing starting from the 3rd position:
Juventus 66points (35 games)
Bologna 64points (35 games)
Roma 60 points (35 games)
Atalanta 57 points (33 games).
If Juventus earn 1 point only in their last 3 matches, while Bologna, Roma and Atalanta win all the remaining matches means that the standing will be as follow:
Bologna 64+9= 73 points
Atalanta 57+12 = 69 points
Roma 60+9= 69 points
Juventus 66+1= 67 points.
However if I look at the schedule of Atalanta, there are 4 Serie A matches remaining only.
So lets say there are 4 matches only and they won it all and keep the other scenario the same, means that Juventus will still out from the top 5.
To be safe, Juventus needs to earn at least 4 points in their last 3 matches IMO
Correct me if I'm wrong.
