Indeed, it is other teams performance that is not top that made Inter Milan the first rather than Inter being excellent. Obviously Inter played very good overall in Serie A but as we all noticed, they failed in Champions League where the level is higher even though that Atletico Madrid was an ordinary team comparing to Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.

Bologna draw in today's game made Juventus breathing a bit calmly since they cannot pass them by the end of this round at least since Juve will have a hard game against Roma this Sunday.

another draw for Motta's Bologna, in the last five games they have only achieved one victory and are risking compromising all the good things done during the season especially if we consider that in the last 3 games they still have Jvuentus and Atalanta as opponents.

If they don't win the direct clash with Atalanta they risk losing their place in the cup to the black and blue team

What a great season by Inter! I was expecting more from them in the Champions League though. But this is still a great season considering the way they won the Serie A title.    Simone Inzaghi is really a great choice for Inter and I think they would like to continue with him for long years. As long as Inter are able to keep their best players in the team I don't think they will be out of the title race that easy. Especially while the others are performing like this. 

Yes, this could be one of the reasons why sometimes results do not match predictions.
Yesterday Roma just played against Leverkusen and the results were not good enough because they lost by 2 goals to Leverkusen in the first leg. And this will ultimately affect their performance both mentally and psychologically, which can be classified as fatigue. But for Juventus, I don't know, but their performance has really dropped since being taken over by Inter Milan. It's really like a different thing because sometimes Juventus really loses control and can't run optimally. Meanwhile, in the current match, Roma vs Juventus, you have to choose between winning and losing,

The Torino vs Bologna match has ended, and both clubs shared the points at Torino Stadium. I was not surprised that this match ended in a draw because I said earlier that the Torino vs Bologna match is hard to predict. This is not a good result for Bologna because if AS Roma wins their match, Bologna will be leading AS Roma by just two points, which will put Bologna's chance of qualifying for next season's UEFA Champions League at risk.

In the last 5 matches, Bologna has only been able to achieve one win, of course this makes their position very threatened, where Roma, who are the closest competitors, have a big chance of moving up to fourth place before the end of the season. A signal that Bologna must respond to very well, they must not lose any more points in the future, they must be able to win the remaining 3 matches.

I didn't watch the match, but if we check the match statistics, it's true, as you said, it was a very boring match. Throughout the match, both Torino and Bologna only recorded 1 shot on target, it seems like not many opportunities were created. Apart from that, Bologna might be a little lucky even though they failed to secure full points this week, Roma as the closest competitor must face Juventus.

On the other hand, there could be a shift in the top four positions if Bologna manages to get an additional 3 points, as Roma could draw against Juventus. However, if De Rossi fleet manages to win, Bologna position will be in real danger, as they will face Napoli, Juventus and Genoa in the remaining matches, which could potentially see them lose points again and give Roma a great chance to break into the top four.

Bologna couldn’t get the results they need but the one point is not also important for them because they are now a bit clearer in the fourth position and comfortably five points ahead of Roma. I think Bologna will play Champions League next season because their last five matches are against Napoli, Juventus, and Genoa; although they look tough, but if we consider the respective forms of these teams, there are slight hopes for them to get some points in the games because Roma is not also sure of winning all their matches.

 
Knowing that AS Roma have completely lost hope in the Europa League, that will make them focus more in serie A, which many will say is a possibility for Juventus to win the game, but I don't think AS Roma will like that to happen, because if it is how they want it, they will like to make it up to the 4th in the table because they are 5 points below Bologna, so if they really win their game against Juventus, then I think it will be easy for them to drop Bologna and make it to their position, which is the 4th in the table.

But on the other hand, you will see that Juventus might also not allow that to happen because they also need more points to not drop down for Bologna. But if I look deep, I will see that AS Roma are playing a home game, which gives them a high chance to win. At the same time, Bologna had a draw on their game today, so it will be even more amazing if AS Roma win that game, and I know they will try their best.

Juventus is facing a tough opponent this week because in this match Juventus must win the match in order to maintain their ranking to remain in 3rd position. Roma is not a weak team, especially as they are also aiming for 3 points in order to stay close to Bologna. This match will be difficult to predict because Juventus in their last 3 matches ended in a draw so there is pressure for them to return to winning ways this week. However, in this match, Roma plays at home, they automatically have the confidence to secure 3 points at the Stadium Olimpico.

I know this is a quite crucial match considering that Juventus is only 1 point ahead of the team below it. So Juventus must win this match because if they lose automatically next week Bologna has a big chance to overtake Juventus. From the Roma side where they are 5 points behind Bologna and the match against Juventus is a big opportunity for De Rossi squad to reduce the difference in points with Bologna. Bologna is not safe in 4th position and Juventus is also not safe in 3rd position because these two teams have a fairly close point difference. I want to see Roma win the match against Juventus because if Roma win then the competition for tickets to the Champions League will be even more exciting.

Torino  0 vs 0 Bologna

In this match, for some reason I think Bologna didn't play that optimally. Moreover, seems quite boring. They weren't aggressive enough and even their ball play was just so-so. Since then, there have been no shots on target that threaten each opponent's defense. Really, this is boring.

Meanwhile, Bologna actually needs to win this match. But the fact is different. They are again, a draw. Whereas, they have to try to stay in 4th position. However, this is quite risky because the result is another draw. The draw result was even goalless, making Bologna increasingly have a series of disappointing draws.

Bologna dont have any chance of winning Torino for my opinion because Torino will use the  the pressure of their  last defeat against bologna, so even though they win against Torino or draw they will still not go to the UCL  if its is their main target or focus at this main point, because Juventus  will have the advantage of using Roma injury crisis to win the match against Roma. even though they lose to Roma  and Bologna enter third position they can still past Milan in the table.

The game between Roma and Bologna where the former team between the time of Rossi being added to the squad up until now have made useful difference in their approach to games. There's definitely improvement, although they're not at perfect spots on the league table but they still are a promising team who seem to have a greater advantage over their opponent. Bologna on the other hand are also improved in their performances and they've done their best to stay put in performing greatly till the last of the season.
 
 Thankfully the game favored just one of the teams who did their best to stand out from the start to the finish. Bologna did well to secure the 3points to themselves away from home and the outcome therefore proves how set they are to keep good points especially in the last games left for the season. Roma disappointed a lot as they were the host but sadly that advantage wasn't relevant.

 This gives them an extra zeal this weekend when they meet Torino. Bologna will be the host and so added to their last league victory, the home advantage will definitely work for them also being that their opponent aren't much of goal scorers this season. Between both teams, I'd say that Bologna has more ability and capacity to be victorious.

 Torino themselves have to fight through the game to get victory and it'll definitely come in difficult for them. The outcome of the game will also help them out up their face when they eventually face Inter Milan before the season is wrapped up. Congratulations ahead to the victorious team.

Bologna vs Torino


Juventus has not been playing well at all currently. I think Bologna should be able to take advantage of that. They have a rather easy match going against to Torino you know. I said this is going to be easy because the performance from Torino has not been good in the last five matches. They only have one win in the last five matches and in the last four matches, they do not have a single win. That's why Bologna should look at this and take this as a chance for them to get ahead of Juventus drops points in the next match. Let’s see what happens. But I believe there are a lot of chances for different teams to finish in different positions this season from where they are right now.

To be honest, in general we already know this will be an advantage for Lazio to win and even though Lazio initially experienced difficulties, I am sure they will still win even if only by a narrow score. We know that Lazio's defense is something they can be proud of and Monza will definitely find it very difficult to score goals.

What's more, even if Lazio waste the opportunity and fail to win, they only need to achieve a draw rather than conceding in the final minute. Despite all that, I still hope to see Lazio win again and compete with other teams in the standings considering they don't have much time.

Udinese and Napoli at this moment are atleast in a bad trend but indeed, Udinese position is in a bad position in the Serie A standings compared to Napoli. While for Napoli, although at thismoment Napoli is also in a bad trend butyes,at least Napoli is still in the "top line" of the standings . But,considering Udinese still has a chance to get out of the relegation zone because there is still a close points gap with the three teams above, then with that factor it is possible that Udinese will really play with betterefforts too. But indeed, eventhough Udinese will make their best efforts but there is still no guarantee for Udinese to be able to beat Napoli.

Roma should be able win Juventus who is not in a good form. I don't see any threat from Juventus on Roma, because Roma is more confident than Juventus when in the pitch. Roma might have performed poorly in Europa but that does not mean that they will not be able to bei g out their best in order for them to win the match.

On the other hand, Juventus is unpredictable due to their inconsistencies and this is not giving me a y confidence in them after they lost hope in the title race to Inter. It would have been lovely if Juventus can come up with their wonderful performance to make the match a tough one.

The point is not that Bayer now have a two-goal advantage, but that they are playing head and shoulders above. I think that in Leverkusen in the second game if Roma chooses to play openly, the score will be something like 4-1 in favor of Bayer.
Now the most interesting thing is that if Roma cannot retain 5th place and Atalanta displaces it, then we will see a paradoxical and funny fact: despite the fact that after the dismissal of Mourinho, Roma showed a phenomenal improvement in results, it will end the season worse than under Mourinho (6th place + Europa League final) 

All competitions Roma : L-D-W-L-W
All competitions Juve: D-L-D-D-W

You know, this is going to be a very important match for Juventus and Roma both. Actually, the current performance of Juventus has not been that good.

At the same time, Roma has to win this match. you know this match is a test for De Rossi, At least if they want to stay in the top five positions of the table. Actually cannot afford to lose any more matches or even drop points in my opinion if they want to stay in the fifth position. Because Giallorossi are already under pressure by the team that is right below them. I think that they should try to do well in the Italian league. Because they are already in a big deficit in the Europa League.

They have already lost the first leg against Leverkusen in the Europa League. So I think they will be able to probably finish in the fifth position if they can perform well consistently. And that is where they have to win this match against Juventus.

keep an eye on Udinese`s matches in these last few days, being close to Serie B they need to win and therefore they will be particularly aggressive, I don`t bet on matches with Udinese in play, they become very difficult to predict therefore there is a high risk of making a mistake (from the next week)

Exactly with all the remaining combinations, if Juventus will win in Rome (very hard to manage with the actual strength of the team) it will be mathematically qualified for the Champion League even if they will lose the 3 remaining games.

If they will lose the game, they will need to make 6 points in the remaining 3 game considering the worse possible combination for them.
