Apart from the draw against Lecce, at least Roma has made great progress after De Rossi became coach of this team because they have only lost once so far, but Roma did waste the opportunity to keep their chances of sticking with Bologna to reach a position in the top four.
Lecce played very well in this match, but they were not able to maximize every opportunity they had, because there were at least six shots on target that could not be converted into goals, likewise, Roma did not have more chances than Lecce even though De Rossi's squad had more controlled possession of the ball, but Lecce was better in attacking.
My prediction is that Roma will only compete in the European league next season because the remaining eight matches and half of them are tight matches for them, including facing Bologna, whose position they are currently targeting.

Roma display perfectly well from the home of Lecce, because Many people thought that Lecce will use home advantage to defeat Roma with many goals but they never allow such thing to happen from the match based on some kind players Roma coach used for the match to end up draw 0-0. Roma defenders really hold Lecce strikers very well, because they gain more opportunities in the Roma goalpost than Roma but Roma defenders never allow them to use all those opportunity positively through out the match. Roma has done well in this season to reach 5 position in the Italian league table, and there is a sign that Roma will definitely move to third position before the end of this tournament.

In my opinion, Lecce completely dominated the game, despite the statistics showing that Roma had more possession of the ball, even so, Lecce was the team that wasted the most opportunities. Lecce played very well. Since Lecce's new coach arrived at Lecce, there have been 2 games without Lecce having lost and with that in two games, Lecce obtained 4 points. and something very good for Lecce's new coach. As for Rome, well, when I saw that lineup



Nicola Zalewski = should have put the Stephan El Shaarawy from the beginning of the game

Edoardo Bove = Without Lorenzo Pellegrini, it seems to me that this position is left without giving much contribution to the team

Tommaso Baldanzi = should have put the Paulo Dybala from the beginning of the game

with these players that roma chose in their starting 11, it was predictable that roma would have a lot of difficulty winning in that game, i don't know why the roma coach rotated the team knowing that this was a game that they needed to win in order not to distance themselves from Bologna which is a strong team this season and also knowing that Atalanta is also in the race for position 4, when the Roma coach put in good players like Stephan El Shaarawy, Paulo Dybala it was already too late in my opinion, he put on Paulo Dybala in the 83rd minute of the game, he put on Stephan El Shaarawy in the 64th minute of the game, although in this case 64 minutes was still time for Stephan El Shaarawy to do something, the Roma coach had to have put on Stephan El Shaarawy together with Paulo Dybala at the start of the game. that way roma could have won this game

cagliari 1 - 1 verona
Sassuolo 1 - 1 Udinese
Bologna 3 - 0 Salernitana
Inter 2 - 0 Empoli
Lecce 0 - 0 Roma



When I was placing Bologna in my parlay, the odds were 1.30, but after I clicked on bet, I saw that Bologna had scored a goal and the odds were 1.12, so my multi bet, which would have had an odds of 3.20, became at 2.80, I was irritated by this, I should have made this multi bet early to avoid this headache

Roma could not win the match and Lecce was the better team overall. They shot 27 shots against Rome and made 6 hits. In this case, it would not be wrong to say that Rome was lucky. Because Rome was lucky, they won 1 point in this match. If Lecce had been better offensively, they could have taken 3 points from Rome. Roma should not repeat the mistakes they made in this match in the coming weeks.

Inter is focused on the championship. It was risky when they were 1 goal ahead, but when they scored the second goal, they relaxed and won. Those who placed bets continued without making any mistakes. Milan and Lazio matches will be difficult for Inter in the upcoming matches. They can make their championship even better with the scores they get in these matches.

Indeed Lecce shows more impressive quality than Roma on that match because there possession was good but there only problem was not being able to convert any opportunity, though the match was very tight for them because in as much as they were playing very well and dominating Roma but Roma hardly give them any opportunity of scoring so perhaps just like i said the draw yesterday did not really affect Roma because there target on that match was to win or draw while Lecce on the other hand doesn't feel too good drawing the match because they are still trying so hard to improve on there position on the table, so drawing the match made them to remain were they are on the table.

Roma was performing badly although they were dominate the game but Roma didn't gets much opportunities to scores but for Lecce although they playing with defensive style but their counter attack is very dangerous but unfortunately Lecce have a problem with finishing touch because from 27 total of shots none of them can became a goal and i think Roma is luckly because they have Mile Svilar as the goalkeeper because this player was performing impressive yesterday and he was successfully to made several crucial saves which makes Roma defensive lines is still cleansheet until the match over

This result is make Roma position on league table will be threaten by Atalanta and assuming Atalanta can win from Cagliari next week then Roma place will be taking over by Atalanta and 1 win from 4 latest matches in all competitions proven Roma performance was decline and De Rossi should be immediately solved this situations especially Roma upcoming schedules will be more hard because this Saturday they will playing against Lazio on derby match and after that Roma will fight at Milan home ground for quaterfinal matches of Europa League

Most teams in Empoli's shoes perform similarly. So this defeat of Empoli was something expected. Inter portrays the image of a perfect team. In general, they are playing close to their best performance. Their only misfortune this year was being eliminated from the UCL, but it is obvious that they will be champions in the league. If a miracle does not happen in the remaining weeks, we can say that Inter is the champion.

Roma is done for this season; they have no chance of winning a trophy, and even in the Europa League, where they are still competing, it will be extremely difficult for them to win because there are many teams that are better than them in the league. Instead, they should go and get ready for the Champions League, which is where they always belong. If I were told yesterday that Roma would end up drawing against Lecce, I would not believe it. Lecce is in 13th place in the league and they put in effort and play against Roma to end up drawing.

Inter Milan is the clear winner of the Serie A league trophy this season after Juventus played poorly and caused them to lose three straight games without winning. It's wise not to put too much stock in a team at the start of the season because you'll be disappointed. Although Juventus' early performance had many people thinking they could challenge Inter Milan for the trophy, in the end, Juventus managed to lead Inter Milan with a point that will never be returned. I believe they will congratulate Inter Milan before they win the championship if they win like two games now.

I guess no one expected Inter to lose points in this match. Empoli still had a not bad graphic. They played as they should against Inter, but the difference in quality players showed itself everywhere. Inter's defense did its job correctly and played flawlessly to gain 3 important points on the way to the championship.

As usual, Inter Milan always manages to do well. Successfully winning with a score of 2-0 is good enough. Even though Inter Milan seemed to have difficulty getting the second goal. But the most important thing is the final result. And Inter Milan now has 79 points at the top of the standings and is 14 points different from Milan who is ranked 2nd. Now Inter Milan just has to continue to enjoy the rest of this season well. Because they are already in a safe position. And they just have to continue to maintain their performance until the end of the season. And it will be even better next season. Don't let Inter Milan repeat Napoli's mistakes last season. Namely, they managed to win Serie A last season but it immediately got worse this season. I hope Inter Milan can remain consistent even next season.

I watched the highlight match how beautiful first goals scoring by Federico Dimarco when defeating Empoli over 2-0 and make close Inter Milan with Scudetto season 2023/24. Its over for Milan stopping Inter get their Scudetto after last time two season ago and remaining 14 points left from Milan and need three or four winning matches later make Inter celebrate early with Scudetto winner. Inter performance currently quit well and there are not any compete teams can't pressure Inter on the top standings position, Juventus and AC Milan have inconsistent performance and gap more than 14 points seems how poor performance for both team to stop Inter winning Scudetto.

Still not close chance for Empoli out from relegation zone because the above standings team Frosinone has the same points awhile and left two points from Cagliari and Hellas Verona. Left 8 matches later Empoli must improving performance and take as possibility three points for securing their position in Serie A next season.

There are many opportunities in the match for Roma and Lecce but players of both teams failed to score a single goal. Absence of Dybala affected Roma's attacking power and some last minutes participated in the match are not enough for Dybala to help Roma getting three points.

Roma can feel disappointed with only a draw and one point from Lecce as they let Bologna expanded the gap to 5 points again. This match shows some defensive weakness from Roma too and if Lecce exploit it better, they even can beat Roma at their home stadium.

With 5 points less than Bologna, Roma will have more difficulty in a competition for a fourth position but more than that, they can lose a fifth position to Atalanta too.

Unfortunately this match ended in a draw, even though I really hoped that Roma would succeed in scoring a victory but in the end it wasn't what we all expected. Possession and possession of the ball clearly showed that Roma managed to be superior, but Lecce also often shot at goal up to 27 times and none of them managed to break through, a boring match because Roma should have won to take 4th place in the standings.

Yep. Federico Dimarco scored the first goal in minute 5'. Inter Milan was already leading the match with 1 goal since a very early of match. Then, Inter Milan needed 81 minutes to score the second goal. The last goal was made by Alexis Sanchez. With 2 goals, it was enough to win the match and get another 3 points to be more comfortable in the top of Serie A standings. Sure, Inter Milan has secured the Scudetto, there is no other teams that can catch them anymore. The point gap is 14 points, it is too far for AC Milan to catch Inter Milan in the 1st place. By the way, the remaining matches are only 8 matches, Inter Milan most faces weak teams in the next few matches. So, it is a very small chance that Inter Milan will miss points.

Well, Empoli played not a very bad for a small team in the relegation zone. They made 14 shots in this match, unfortunately they have bad accuracy. So, there was no goals for Empoli. This result makes Empoli to stay in the relegation zone. If there is no change, Empoli will play in Serie B for the next season. But they still has a chance to overtake Frosinone if Empoli can get points in the next matches.

Empoli couldn't create any chances in the 2nd half so, if there'd be another goal. It would've come from Inter but unlucky for you, they were pretty comfortable with the 1-0 lead early on and didn't really attack as much as they usually do, since there wasn't much threat incoming from Empoli. I noticed that during the game that Inter would be dominating possession, thus making Empoli chances scarce, I bet on Empoli to not score a goal. Empoli couldn't even shoot on target in the 2nd half, helping my bet.

I thought Inter would score more goals or Empoli would respond, but the match ended 2-0. Those who played over 2.5 goals lost, my bet was also lost because of that one missing goal. When Alexis Sanchez entered the game, the game became livelier and he scored the goal, but I wish he had entered the game earlier. Losing a parlay with single goal is always annoying. There were only 2 goals in 33 shots in total in the game.

I expect Inter Milan to score lots of goals in this match. But it looks like the match will end with the same score since the start of the match, namely 1-0. Because now the match has entered the 80th minute and the score has not changed, namely 1-0. Inter Milan as the host can usually score a lot of goals if they face a team that is mediocre in terms of performance. And it seems like Inter Milan still hasn't recovered mentally after they were knocked out of the UCL.

Edited: it turns out that when I wrote, Inter Milan added 1 goal in the 81st minute by Alexis Sanchez. Ok, this still meets my expectations.  the score is now 2-0

Currently HT: INTER 1-0 Empoli

Inter managed to score a goal in the 6th minute through Dimarco, but after this goal Inter gave too much space to the opponent so Empoli could develop their game. Or maybe Empoli really want to steal points from Inter so they can stay away from the relegation zone. Overall the first half was exciting, the match was almost a draw because both of them exchanged attacks.

In the first half Inter still haven't really returned to Inter's best performance so far, let's see in the second half whether Inter can be much better or Empoli will score a goal back. I personally have been betting on this match since the first half so that Inter Milan can win.

Despite the fact that Roma controlled the ball more, Lecce attacked more, and perhaps De Rossi was lucky that his team did not lose today. But in this case for Roma, a draw is a bad result, since they lost points, and Bologna managed to beat Salernitana, and now Roma is 5 points behind the top 4. For now, this seems possible to fix in the remaining 8 games, but I have doubts that for Roma this will be possible. By the way, Juventus lost to Lazio, and now it becomes quite possible for Bologna to bypass Juventus, which is currently in decline.
