first half finished 1 to 1 between Roma and Juventus, a fundamental match for the Turin team, if they win they are mathematically qualified for the next Champions League and can start planning the summer transfer market.

Roma took the lead in possession and the first goal was scored by Lukaku with Bremer equalising.

Anything can happen between now and the end as the draw doesn't go very well for Roma and therefore they need to attack leaving spaces

Didn't expect Genoa to be able to score three goals... Bookies gave odds of 1.45 for Milan to win, but there is a feeling that Milan have already finished games this season... They have guaranteed themselves a place in the Champions League next season and have only three matches left in Serie A... Probably betting on them winning the next matches will be risky too...

Yeah that's right Salernitana is the first team to be relegated imagine they can only win 2 times from 34 match while Sassuolo is in the most crucial position even though they won against Inter Milan in the last match but that didn't help much. Udinese is in 18th position but we are still waiting for the results of the 35th match and this match is decisive, if Udinese win then they have the same points as the other 2 teams even Udinese is slightly better on goal difference.

Tomorrow Udinese will play against Napoli, on paper Napoli is clearly the favourite but I'm afraid Udinese can give a surprise when they play at home, we saw an example in yesterday's match when Sassuolo beat Inter Milan. This season Napoli are not aiming for any tickets so if they lose or draw it will not have an impact on their position that's why Napoli played badly in the last 3 matches, imagine a weak team like Empoli could beat them on April 20.

It is an interesting match going on currently between Roma and Juventus, and Roma have dominated the match, not just that Lukaku was able to break the deadlock on the 15th minutes of the match. Roma is seeing the loop holes in Juventus and they are using it as an advantage over Juventus.

The champions league is not sure yet for either Roma and Juventus because Juventus is only 6 points ahead of Roma, and if Roma wins this match, they will be three points behind Juventus which becomes a big threat fro them. I will not be happy if Juventus did not qualify to UCL because they caused it themselves.

Roma 1-0 Juve

Only Salernitana has been confirmed to be relegated, but for the teams above Salernitana I think it is clear. Because they only have a close gap in points then ofcourse teams like Sassuolo, Udinese, Empoli, Frosinone and maybe Cagliari and Verona are still in position which is not completely safe. Because at least they still have a close gap in points and at thismoment so yes, any team that really fails to achieve good results in the remainder of this season, then that team will have the opportunity to be relegated. So yes, let's just wait because any result can still happen and even though Sassuolo is in the bottom two, but Sassuolo still has a chance to get out of the relegation zone.

This does make us dumbfounded, how could Inter Milan lose to Sassuolo who we think is the team on the horns of the end of Serie A this season, but indeed luck was on Sassuolo's side in the 19th minute, Sassuolo understood if they tried to add goals the chances were small and their defense would be bad if they used the same strategy, it seems that the strategy has changed and is more about playing closer to the defense to secure the position until the two rounds are finished and won by Sassuolo.

Lautaro fought hard and Inter Milan's squad really fought hard to make up the deficit, but they only got possession and didn't have many chances to score, Sassuolo took the right action in this match after the goal, because of this Sassuolo still has the possibility to get out of the relegation zone if they win the last remaining matches perfectly this season.

For the second time this season, Sassuolo managed to bring Inter to their knees before them, a result we never imagined would happen. We know that Inter basically doesn't care about the results anymore, because they have confirmed themselves as Serie A champions this season. I think many bettors experienced losses in that match, because they were so confident that Inter could secure full points, maybe in the next 3 remaining matches betting on Inter winning requires a lot of consideration. Even though we know that Inter are the favorites in every match, in reality they are treating the remaining competition in a relaxed manner and are no longer forcing the best results.

Meanwhile, for a mediocre club like Sassuolo, an additional 3 points means a lot to survive in Serie A next season. Sassuolo still has a chance to save themselves from the relegation zone, but that depends on the results they can achieve when facing Genoa, Cagliari and Lazio. If Sassuolo succeeds in sweeping all the remaining matches and securing full points, then they have the chance to survive in the Serie A, because the three clubs above them have difficult matches ahead.

It is certain that Inter Milan will win the Italian league title this season and AC Milan will qualify for the Champions League next season from the second position. In that case, there will be the most competition to retain the third and fourth position of this league. Roma, Bologna, Juventus are the three teams competing hard against each other just to secure their place in the Champions League. Juventus are in a good position but Roma are in some danger as Bologna are above them. If Bologna does well in the upcoming matches, then Roma's dreams of Champions League will end. Atalanta can be a barrier for Roma, because this team is also very close to Roma in terms of points. Maybe Juventus will qualify for the Champions League as the third team but the competition for one place will be between three teams.

It wasn't an easy first half for Milan, because Genoa started the game in a good way by scoring an early goal on the 5th minutes with a penalty kick by
M. Retegui. Milan continued to struggle on equalizing the goal as Genoa continued to deprive them from finding the back of the net after several attempts. It was on the 45th minutes that Chukwueze was able to make a good cross from the right flank to Fratessi, who immediately find the back of the net with a good header. Genoa was unable to hold on the one goal till the end of the first half. I know this is an opportunity for Milan to win the match in the second half, as their equalizer might demotivate Genoa, and motivate Milan. The first half ended 1-1.

To be fair, even though nobody really expected this result, I did expected an "unexpected result" to happen with Inter eventually. Because they already won, so there isn't really anything left to fight for, and they could just end up with not caring about it at all.

I understand that it is not going to be all that simple, we should consider this fact as something that wouldn't be a big deal. Just accept that Inter doesn't care about it anymore and that's why we got this result. It wasn't some great deal from the opponent, if Inter cared enough about to win this game, they would still win it, they are capable of winning it, they just didn't care. More like this could potentially maybe happen, because the league is over and they just do not care at all.

Roma is just getting to be a good team this season after the change of coach so I think it's much safer if the expectations on them is brought a bit low so we don't get to be disappointed by their performance, coming to think of it Juventus is an elite tem in the serie A and Roma is such a team that will be considered within the average and not to be seen as one of the tops although few seasons back they were fair but not at this point where they are in a recovery mood.

Juventus will want to aswell get points from this game because it's as crucial as it is to Roma to Juventus too so if the game end in a draw it should be considered a fair play because both teams aren't really a weak team, the era of Mourinho actually helped Roma a whole lot a d so has Rossi try to better place Roma too this season but then they aren't in a solid form yet tho they have been ofs. Really good performance such that we can really be optimistic about, both team have fair strength and so I actually get to expect anything from them both and not keeping a better expectations on one against the other.

As for he position of Roma on the table, they need more than a match victory to be able to displace bologna and a draw in todays game will only keep them ahead of Atlanta by goal difference that's if Atlanta gets to win their fixture tomorrow meanwhile Juventus needs to win this game to get them back to the second position on the table as Ac Milan is currently at that position tho they are yet to win their today's fixture which is on already nevertheless the results still won't get to affect them a lot even if they draw win or loose.

It was clear weeks ago that Inter would be champions this season. The point difference between them was a very serious amount. In recent weeks, I think the players were not playing very seriously in the matches, partly to avoid getting tired. In the last match, they lost the match after a long time, and one of the last teams in the league beat them.
There is a little more hope for Sassuolo after this match. Maybe they can manage to get out of the relegation zone, it was a very good match for them

AS Roma's chances of winning are not necessarily big because Juventus also doesn't want to continue to extend their record of never winning in a row.
For Daniele De Rossi, victory is a target that must be achieved to bring AS Roma to a top four finish so they can play in the UCL next season.
If Roma is able to win even though it is difficult, they have a big chance of getting a ticket to the UCL.

In another ongoing match, AC Milan is already 1 goal behind against Genoa.

The match against Genoa will be an easy match for Milan, because for now Milan and genoa has a different performance and also the quality of the team, besides that the motivation for Milan to continue to win, of course, will make Milan play all out in the game to chase victory, at this time the match between Milan and Genoa has begun, and both teams are still playing safely in the current match,  Genoa tried to put pressure on Milan and made the Milan defender have to make contact to make Vogliacco fall so without hesitation the referee pointed to the white spot of the penalty and made Genoa lead 0-1 In the meantime, I think it was quite unlucky for Milan with the penalty but the game is still long so I think Milan is just waiting for time to score and win the game today.
My prediction is Milan will win with a score of 3-1 over Genoa at the end of the match.  

The match between Intermilan and Sassuolo was actually quite disappointing because indeed we are quite sure if Intermilan will be able to avenge Sassuolo for the defeat in their first match of the season, but in fact Intermilan lost again in the game against Sassuolo, to be honest even though Intermilan played their reserve squad in the game, of course Sassuolo will be an easy opponent for Intermilan if we saw Sassuolo current performance and position,  But isn't it strange enough if the relegation team is able to destroy Intermilan winning streak this season?

I don't imagine that this was the result of Inter Milan's collaboration with Sassuolo even though Inter Milan lost the match. Moreover, first place cannot be achieved by any team in Serie A, so Inter Milan can celebrate its title earlier this season. And apart from that, Sassuolo also has to remain in the relegation zone even though they won against Inter Milan and makes this victory seem meaningless for Sassuolo because they have to remain in a bad zone this season.

A draw in an early match from Bologna gives hope to Roma and Atalanta because they can take advantage of two points dropped by Bologna to reduce gaps with this competitor. When Serie A has only 3 or 4 matches left, depend on each club, 1 or 2 points can make big difference in rankings.

Roma will have uncomfortable match with Juventus even they will be the host in this match that will go live next 2 hours and a half. Your analysis is true about chance and risk for Roma from this match. Get three points, they will reduce gap with Bologna to only 2 points and can feel safe against Atalanta. Drop points, from 2 to 3 points, Roma will be far away from Bologna and face with big risk of flippening from Atalanta.

Milan vs Genoa

This match should be an easy win for Milan. But recently the top teams are the teams that are higher in the Serie A are actually not performing that well. They are actually losing or dropping points against easier opponents. So I do not know what to expect from this. But I hope that Milan will be able to perform because they have to stay on the second position. It’s not like if they drop points or lose this match they are instantly going to get demoted and not stay on the second position, but if they actually lose this match, this is an easy match and there might be a chance for them to actually drop positions if they lose easy matches like this.

Anyway, I expect them to win but a draw is not going to be very surprising for me. But a loss for Milan might just be a little surprising, to be honest.

We are currently having three teams at the same level even no doubt Bologna is having decline into their performance but still things are going well favourable for them to have spot for the Champions League in next season as Serie A is having five spots coming matches are also important, but we are having just one lost for the Bologna in last ten games which is giving them good advantage and their game against Napoli is important but still chances they will be able to steal the show as they have done against Roma few weeks back.

Today we are having game important for the Roma because in case of lost or draw Atlanta can overtake them which is currently at his best and tomorrow they are going to play against Salernitana here three points can give them good chance of staying in top five and having chance for the Champions League in next season.

The funny thing is that this is not just a defeat for a team that has already become a champion from an outsider, but literally the second defeat in the entire season from the same team 
It's hard to believe, but Inter have only two defeats in Serie A this season and this is two defeats from Sassuolo, who are still in the relegation zone.
I'm sure that the Inter players took this painfully, although they tried, but luck was again on Sassuolo's side.

Basically, Sassuolo is a team that quite often produces unexpected results when playing against top Serie A teams. But unfortunately, this season Sassuolo failed to do this so Sassuolo is also in the relegation zone this season. But indeed, Sassuolo is a mediocre team that managed to beat Inter this season even though it is true, in reality in that match Inter also had high dominance but Sassuolo still managed to get three points. It is also possible that Sassuolo is really still making big efforts at this moment to get out of the relegation zone. Because at least, if Sassuolo manages to be consistent with three points for the remainder of this season, then maybe Sassuolo will manage to get out of the relegation zone, who knows.
