It is not right if you still think Juventus still has a chance to be able to overtake Milan because afterall, at this moment Juventus really has experienced a decline in performance into a bad trend. Therefore, Juventus currentefforts are only to maintain its position in the top three, because Bologna is also a threat to Juventus. Soyes, drawing against Cagliari by conceding 2-0 first is definitely a bad result even though indeed, Juventus still managed to make two goals back in the second half . But still,Cagliari and Juventus clearly have different qualities, but Juventus still failed to win in that away match, so Juventus are really in a bad trend at the moment.

Could this chance of qualification be because they won the last round again Ac Milan? We Gon see how it goes anyways. After the loss to As Roma, management of AC Milan announced that Stefan Pioli would be sacked at the end of the season and wouldn't be coach of the club for next season.

No doubts about As Roma though, they did the right thing to part ways with Jose Mourinho, glad to see he won them the first Conference Cup Competition and also lead them to the finals of the European Europa League Competition. For this season, I double doubt they will ne able to do what he has done last season.
They will be up against Bayern Leverkusen, I'm sure they will be defeated by Bayern Leverkusen in the Semi finals.

Napoli currently having a back to back lose from Empoli! The last lose ( 1-0 ) saw the management sacking Rudi Garcia anyways.

Napoli is losing against Empoli.

their season is terrible, the winners of the last scudetto are almost out of the running for the European cups for next year. It was something unthinkable until a few months ago. And to think that the president of Napoli wanted to sell Osimhen for 200 million euros. It makes me laugh.

Two penalty goals obtained by Cagliari in the first half made Juventus have to fall behind until the 87th minute, and we can see how Juventus' performance in the match still did not change like the previous match, Vlahovic's goal in the 61st minute and also an own goal from Dossena in the 87th minute made Juventus lucky to get 1 point in today's match,  With only an additional 1 point, of course Juventus failed to get close to Milan who are in second place at the moment, Milan and Juventus are now only 5 points adrift but it looks like it will be difficult for Juventus to overtake Milan, although this week Milan will face Intermilan and maybe they lose points, of course the difference between Juventus and Milan still remains 5,  But if Milan wins later over Intermilan, of course it will be impossible for Juventus to catch Milan because indeed the difference in points between the two is getting bigger.

In other match today, Napoli was quite surprising because they were trailing Empoli with a score of 1-0, Empoli managed to score a quick goal in the 4th minute through Cerri and made them currently superior, quite surprising to see Napoli who are currently starting to be inconsistent especially when they have to face small teams in Serie A, the match between Empoli and Napoli has now entered the 60th minute,  Indeed, Napoli still have a chance to win the game against Empoli or at least equalize the score today in order to remain in European competition next season.

Even though it's not final yet, based on the articles I read, it looks like Serie A will definitely get 5 slots next season. Italy leads the coefficient list with 19,428 points, followed by Germany in second place and England in third place.

Both are still competing with 17 points but I am sure Germany will get 5 slots because Leverkusen, Dortmund and Munich still have matches in the UCL and UEL while all the English representatives have been eliminated. Tell me if I'm wrong.

So I think Roma and Dortmund will qualify for the Champions League next season. Their points are far enough to be overtaken by the team ranked 6th in the standings.

Apart from shining in the UEL, As Roma also seems to be playing well in the domestic league. Of course, getting rid of Bologna is their main goal so that they can finish in the top four, because Bologna is starting to lose control and play inconsistently in their last few matches, which is why As Roma could have won the match against Bologna later, clearly this match is important for them apart from the UEL, but De Rossi needs to be careful in rotating his players because of course he also doesn't want any of his important players to get injured and not be able to play in the UEL semi-final match against Leverkusen.

De Rossi must be able to emphasize his team to play carefully because apart from chasing the top four positions they also have to compete against Leverkusen in the UEL semi-finals, so this match will certainly look interesting because As Roma must be able to get the full three points if they want to displace Bologna from their position. Currently, even though it may be difficult, As Roma must be able to succeed in bringing the full three points to be able to finish in the top four until the end of the season. This will be a proud achievement for De Rossi to bring As Roma to be better after being left by Mourinho. 

Verona vs Udinese is a match where both of them are going to try to get at least one point if not win. Remember whoever wins is going to go pretty much away from the relegation zone. At the same time, remember they are on the 28 points, both of them. Which is only one point away from the team which is in the relegation zone.

So I think both teams will prefer to get a win. But of course, both teams winning is not possible. And a draw is probably not going to be enough for either team to keep them out of the fear of relegation. I definitely want to see a team win. But it is also going to make things interesting because the point difference between the teams that are in and around the relegation zone are almost nonexistent.

Juventus will find it difficult to overtake AC Milan in second place even though they still have a chance to do so and in today's match at home to Cagliari, Juventus also benefited from an own goal so the result could be a draw. Even though Juventus had a very good level of ball control with a total of more than ten kicks, Juventus also did not have many opportunities to score goals so both of them were only able to get one point because the match was a draw.

Next two days, there is an important match for Roma and Bologna. They will meet each other and Roma will be the host for an important direct match between to competitor for a fourth position.

It will be a chance for Roma to take over a fourth position from Bologna if they can beat the guest, difference will become 1 point. Later if Roma beat Udinese in 20 last minutes of a suspended match because of Ndicka's health issue, they will take the fourth position from Bologna.

Serie A will very likely get 5 spots in Champions League next season but it does not finalize yet, so Roma will try to get a fourth position if possible. Difference between Roma and Bologna is not big and Roma also have to secure a fifth position against Atalanta.

I was wondering whether the website I was checking was wrong about showing 5 teams to qualify for the Champions League first. However it really happened and the Serie A has one more quota for that. 

This is wonderful news for Serie A teams (especially for Roma).    Roma have been trying to get past Bologna for the last Champions League spot before this change. Now they are able to make it there even if they finish at their current position in the standings. Lazio are right behind by 3 points though but Roma have 2 less games played compared to them as well. I assume Roma wouldn't mess up that much to lose even the current position. It would be a big disappointment otherwise.

Tonight, Napoli will play against Empoli. This should be a fairly easy match for Napoli against a club that is fighting to avoid the relegation zone. Looking at the chances, of course Napoli has a bigger chance even though they are playing as a visiting team, but Napoli also needs to be careful, sometimes clubs that are under pressure are able to giving a surprise, Empoli wants to be in a safe position, of course he wants to appear impressive at home. Recently, Empoli has lost a lot of points due to losing 4 consecutive matches, so he doesn't want to continue performing badly.

This match is very important for both of them. Napoli is aiming for a place in the UEL competition and he needs 6 points to get past the clubs above Atalanta and Lazio but Napoli doesn't have that much time so he has to appear consistently winning in the remaining games this season. Empoli is a club that should be able to he got through by getting 3 points, the worst result might be just a draw.

What a terrible contest between Juventus and Cagliari. Although talented, they played like they'd never practiced together. I love Allegri, but his approach lately? Nonsensical. Even when this three-midfielder configuration fails, he keeps it. Something must change, notwithstanding his past success for Juve. Its possible they need a change, like Conte, to regain their fight.  Their tenuous top-four spot? Such play won't last. Juventus may not play in Europe next season, which is unacceptable for a club of their calibre.  For supporters like us, watching is hard.

Cagliari tried to control the ball and take the ball to the goal but could not score directly because Juventus fouled in the penalty area thus Cagliari got 2 short penalty chances and this was Cagliari's big chance and they used this opportunity to complete 2 goals. Meanwhile, Juventus managed to score 2 goals, so the match was a draw. And Juventus failed to get 3 points.  However, now there is no chance for Juventus to win the championship because Inter are leading by many points. But they still have a chance to overtake Milan

after last week Lazio won 4-1 over Salernitana, this time they narrowly won 1-0 over Genoa, their next opponent is Juventus and i'm sure this will not be an easy match.

in another match, Juventus were held to a draw by Cagliari, Cagliari were lucky because they got 2 penalties in the 30th and 36th minutes, if there was no own goal scored by Dossena in the 87th minute then Juventus would be the team that would lose to Cagliari.  Juventus is still in 3rd position with 62 points and it is difficult for them to be in 2nd position chasing Milan.

Fail to win Scudetto in a season when they don't have to play in Champions League or Europa League, it is a serious failure for Juventus. They can not satisfy that ending this season at a third position is a success. They have to try to keep it to reduce their severity of failure in this season.

With recent results of Italian, German and English clubs in Champions League, Europa League and Conference League, Serie A and Bundesliga have very high advantage to complete this season at two highest rankings. If they achieve it, Serie A and Bundesliga will have five clubs in Champions League 2024 - 2025. With very high probability for it to happen, AS Roma will mainly focus on Europa League than on rest matches in Serie A.

If they win Europa League, they will also have a direct given ticket to Champions League and don't need to complete this season at either fourth or fifth position in Serie A.

Third place could be quite possible for Juventus to secure this season, especially now that there are only a few matches remaining. But I was surprised when I saw that Roma, who is ranked fifth in the Serie A standings, had entered the UCL zone too. Am I wrong or are the rules like that now so that Roma doesn't need to be tired of trying to get into the Champions League next season if they can stay in the top five until the end of the season?

As for Napoli itself, the team actually still has a chance and opportunity to get a top six ranking so that it can immediately enter the European League next season. However, Lazio and Atalanta are also doing well at the moment so this is still an obstacle for Napoli in taking sixth and seventh positions in the current standings.

Juventus has continued to get less than optimal results in the last few matches, including the last match they played against Cagliari. In fact, I see them as very lucky in this match because they got an own goal from their opponent which could make them equalize in the final minutes of the match. This is the 10th draw they have achieved this season.

Their chances of being in the top 4 in the standings are still big, but they also have to be able to improve their current performance. The decline they are experiencing is not a good thing for them, because they are still in danger of being displaced by the team that is currently below them. The coach must think of a strategy so that they can be even better in the next match so that they again achieve the desired result, namely victory. Honestly, their performance has clearly decreased from their performance at the start of the season.

Juventus failed to secure three points on last match and little doubt the opportunity will get top fourth standings place in this season depend with Bologna and AS Roma match result this week will get three points or not. Juventus failed to achieve two wins in the last two matches when they were held to draws by Torino and Cagliari, Bologna and AS Roma face each other this week and being draw result for this match is better for Juventus get secure their position but have to win on six matches later.

I doubt with Juventus will get one place for qualifying to champion league? has three difficult matches left against AC Milan, Roma and Bologna are not easy match to get three points and secure champion league spot.

There was actually a big chance that Juventus was going to lose the match against Cagliari. Cagliari missed a lot of chances. Otherwise, it would definitely have been a loss for Juventus. Juventus also was given a gift of an own goal. Otherwise, again it could have been a loss for Juventus. It has been a pretty bad run in recent weeks for Juventus.

If people are saying that the coach of Juventus is going to be fired, I definitely see a point. And I actually have been defending the coach of Juventus a lot and still probably want to do that. But if you are not getting good results, it is really hard to defend a coach. there is still a huge chance that Juventus will not finish in the third position that they are in right now. And the way they are performing, there is definitely a chance for them to actually finish outside the top four as well. Even though that chance is very slim, it is there.

Juventus can secure a place in the Champions League next season with all the efforts they have made so far. Recently they have often failed to secure full points.
In the last two matches, they were only able to get 2 points from the draws they got against Torino and Cagliari. Even so, they have secured third position this season.

For AS Roma, that's how it was as long as De Rossi was head coach. They continue to get positive results... We are waiting for Napoli to get full points so they can continue to compete for 7th position so they can appear in the European Conference League.
