Bologna lost points which must have made Juventus really happy.    They caught their breath a little by increasing the point gap with them to four. Roma are seven points behind which is better news for Juventus about securing themselves in top four. It isn't that easy to close a gap of seven points in seven weeks in my opinion.

It depends on what Juventus will do after this win of course. If they start a bad form again then everything is possible. They have games to play against Milan, Roma and Bologna in the rest of the season too. Juventus will need to get the best out of these tough games.

Verona hosted Genoa at home.We know that Verona is the side that needs more points.The danger bells are ringing for Verona who lost the game despite scoring the first goal at home.If they had won this game, they would have at least relaxed a little bit more, but at the moment the points difference between them and their rivals is almost negligible.If Verona wants to stay in the league, we have to say that they need to get points in their next matches.Although they played better than their opponents, they could not win.
Juventus have been struggling to get a win for a long time.Yesterday, despite playing badly against Fiorentina, they managed to win.It's clear that both Fiorentina and Juventus need points, but Fiorentina were much better than their opponents yesterday, but they struggled to score goals.It's strange that Juventus played so badly and won.

The pressure on them is reduced as they won their match yesterday. I hope they have begin to go back to their normal form, so that they can continue winning the rest of their matches and also win the Coppa Italia this season, because they are too big not to win Coppa Italia.

This season was a good season for them initially from the start and most people believed that they would be on the title race very close to Inter, just the way it is in EPL between the first three clubs on the table. But Juventus was unable to kepp up their consistency to a point that they started dropping points, which gave Milan the opportunity to bring them down to the third position. I hope they prepare themselves better for the Champions League next season.

Cagliari managed to get an important 3 points for themselves by winning against Atalanta.Cagliari, a team close to the relegation zone, will be a little more comfortable if they get 3 points in this important match in order to stay in the league.Most people didn't expect them to win against Atalanta, but they managed to do the unexpected.Cagliari fell behind with a goal in the 13th minute but closed the first half with a 1-1 draw. Cagliari fell behind with a goal in the 13th minute but closed the first half with a 1-1 draw.Viola scored the winning goal in the last minutes.Cagliari managed to get into more scoring positions than Atalanta and this win could be enough to keep them in the league.

Juventus looks like they are sure now of the Champions League place for the next season as it looks like they got the good result after many not so good results.In Serie A though like many European championships is already over from long ago and not much interest remains here to be seen.I hope next season we see some better competition and we see it until the end of the season,not like this year.Juventus and Napoli are not good enough,I believe Roma under De Rossi to be the contender next season.

Napoli came from behind to win the match against a tough opponent.Monza started the second half poorly after leading at half time thanks to Djuric's goal.The home team was surprised to concede 3 goals in the first 16 minutes of the second half, and 1 minute after conceding the 3rd goal, they managed to score the 2nd goal for their side.6 minutes later, Monza conceded again. After conceding 3 goals in the first 16 minutes of the second half, the hosts were surprised to concede 3 goals in the first 16 minutes of the second half.1 minute after conceding the 3rd goal, the hosts managed to score the 2nd goal for themselves.6 minutes later, it was even more difficult for Monza to win.We can easily say that Napoli deserved the win as they managed to play a better game compared to their opponent.Napoli will want to finish the league in the 6th place at worst, but after this week, I must say that their work will be difficult.

As it should be truly, they have indeed fall off from the top and it was indeed one dissatisfied displays from Napoli this season. I will blame the incompetent coaches brought in to manage these lads though because I saw how good they was last season. They're now elevating trying to find themselves back in a good spot but can they earn European Competitions for next session? I suppose all of them players knows the task ahead.

Victor Oshime also extending his goal tally to 12 goals in all of Seria A, this is halfway of whatever he achieved last season. He should make wise decisions ahead so he wouldn't end up in a club with lots of errors in the future.

Max Allegri would definitely be leaving the squad, Antonio Conte or. Thiago Motta are the nearest to be handed that job from next season. Dusan Vlahovic? Top lad, he made a good turn around to bank these goals.

Napoli players really displayed well to handle their opponent not to use their home advantage to disgrace them, but it was a good moved for Napoli not to give up with the one goal Monza scored in the first half to try to reduce Napoli strength but they never allow such thing to reduced their strength from the match.  It was a surprised return when Napoli score four goals in the second half to prove to people that they are still stronger than Monza team, because many people thought that Monza will maintain that one goal they scored in the first half till the end of the match, but Napoli made the match to ended up 2-4 for the favour of Napoli. Juventus manage to defeated their opponent with 1-0 to embraced the three points, because the match was a tough match after they scored the first goal that made Fiorentina players to charge up to make all their position difficult for Juventus players but they find it difficult to equalized the goal.

I have been notice Inter Milan upcoming schedules is very easy because they only facing several weak teams and today they will fight against Udinese and about Udinese i was wondering why Gabriele Cioffi position is still safe because since he handle Udinese on October he hasn't bringing positive impact for Udinese even the performance of this team is very poor that since October until this month Udinese only able to gets 3 wins under Gabriele Cioffi in Serie A and now Udinese position is very unsafe because if Udinese unable to bounce back then there is possibility this team will be relegated to serie B and today they will play against Inter Milan and i have to says this is hard match and there is no chances for Udinese to beat Inter Milan even my prediction is Inter Milan possibly can able to beat them and extended their unbeated records in Serie A and talking about the odds between them obviously Inter Milan is the favourite but the odds for Inter Milan win is not high @1.41 but i think this is easy money

A narrow victory was achieved by Juventus when facing Fiorentina but still Juventus' game looked very bad in the match, in my opinion the victory did not change our view of the poor passing and also the finishing of Juventus at this time, what you said is true, because Juventus management should take the right steps to restore the glory of their team,  Of course we thank Allegri for all Allegri's achievements so far at Juventus but it is time for Juventus to make a complete change if indeed they want to compete again for the Scudetto.

When compared to other teams actually juventus has spent a lot of money in the last 3 seasons, even we can see how Juventus has the most national team players at the moment so I think actually the Juventus squad has been quite perfect at this time, but indeed Allegri's tactics that have been old-fashioned certainly make Juventus' game worse and even in the match against Fiorentina we can see if Juventus is only able to control 25% of ball possession and Also did a lot of bad passing, as a big team of course it shows how Juventus are currently performing which is no better than the relegation team.

I think that is the hope of all Juventus supporters at this time after failing to compete with Inter Milan in the race for the Italian league title this season, of course this must be a serious evaluation from the management so that next season they can perform better, because if Juventus experiences bad results from several matches where they had to lose points and could have been shifted to the top four of the current standings, even though they ended up winning narrowly against Fiorentina today, they still have to make changes next season, which of course will have very tight competition too.

At least Juventus has a head coach who is really better than Allegri so they can have a better change in style of play compared to this season. It doesn't look like a good team, many things are lacking in attack power which is also not very good, apart from that it seems Juventus needs a striker on the front line which is hungry for goals because so far this season Juventus have never seen a landslide win with a big score and have often seen wins with a narrow score, it looks like the attack line is not very productive, next season they should make a major overhaul of their main squad including head coach.

Juventus might not be able to compete for the Italian Seria A title but they are in the semi-finals of Copa Italia. They played the first leg and won Lazio by two goals to nothing. The second leg will come up on April 23rd. So the club has hope of winning at least a trophy this season and we shouldn't also push aside that they might also qualify for the UCL a feat that Napoli the defending champions couldn't attain.

Fiorentina is not a mediocre club that can be whitewashed by Juventus. Actually, Juventus was not at its best but the most important thing is that they got the three points. The Old Lady showed some good attacking football that produced three goals two but two were cancelled after VAR checks. I think the club needs to change its strategy to enable them to control games instead of allowing opponents to be in control thereby putting the defense under pressure.

this is not the Juventus we loved and that made Juventus a popular team. This current Juventus team is just leaving on the past glory of her predicasor. Although in thier encounter against fiorentina, they hard three first half goals that where disallowed and only managed to get a one goal victory which helped fortify their hope for the champions league next season by ending thier wretched run on domestic form, there stats and performance hasn't been impressive to a very large extent.

I couldn't even believe what I saw in that match. The hosts continued to come under pressure from Fiorentina. And it was difficult to take control of the ball from Fiorentina. I don't know if Allegri's strategy was deliberately made like this or whether this is proof that Juventus is in a performance crisis. but the final result is what is most important here. but to be honest, I was surprised to see how many Juventus players made inaccurate passes. This is not like the Juventus we saw at the start of the season. 

Mourinho is ambitious and professional with his management but his mouth is too uncontrollable and it costs him some suspended matches. It is a minus point from his coach management in Roma and I prefer to agree with anyone call it is unprofessional point from Mourinho.

He asked too much for budget of player transfers and conflicts occur between Jose and Roma's owner and board members about club strategy for development. It is a big condition with Jose to stay with Roma or leave. We all saw what happened, conflict was not solved and he was forced to leave by a sack from Roma.

De Rossi is a Rome person, he was born there, grew up by Roma Academy and played for Roma in many years. He loves the club as a player and now as a coach and he does not ask too much because he knew the club's limited finance. De Rossi is a coach who will work for Roma, simply with his love and dedication for the club as same as what he did as a player through his career.

With 7 matches and 3 points less than Bologna, Roma has good chance to catch Bologna. Even the fifth position can be enough for them to be eligible for Champions League if Italian clubs perform well in this season from Europa League to Conference League.

After 4 consecutive games without winning, Juventus luckily managed to get a victory, but it was a victory in which they only managed to score 1 goal, I'm asking myself once again what can I expect from Juventus next season? They don't look like a team that is improving, last season they had the problem of reducing points, but even if they hadn't had the reduction in points, Juventus still wouldn't have managed to win the title last season, so I wonder what if What can you expect from Juventus next season? What would Juventus achieve in the European Champions League next season? Because looking at the state Juventus are in, I honestly don't see Juventus being able to get far in the Champions League next season. the only thing that juventus still has a chance to win this season is the coppa italia

the results that surprised me in this round:

cagliari 2 - 1 atalanta
empoli 3 - 2 torino

I expected Atalanta to be able to win this game, but from what I see they are unstable, there are times when they win games and then lose, then they win again, then they lose again. So they are unstable and therefore I highly doubt they will get a place in the European champions league. As for Torino, I also hoped that they would be able to win but unfortunately they lost, Empoli has been a team that when they play hard they are strong and Empoli came into this game with a sequence of 4 games without winning and they were very lucky to win the torino. With this victory, Empoli moves a little further away from the relegation zone

Juventus is very economical in movement, even to the point of thinking "ah, never mind, Juventus will catch up, ah never mind, Juventus will lose". However, after waiting eagerly for Fiorentina to score a goal, it turned out it didn't come. even until the match is over. This time, fortunately the opponent was Fiorentina, who were really annoying because they dominated the match but were unable to score a single goal.

Should I say:
"Just let Juventus play like it is, the important thing is that the result is a win."
or
"Could it be that Juventus' performance has improved a little, why is its performance going this way and that, its performance is even far from good for a club in the top 3 of Serie A."

Even Juventus was offside 5x, while Fiorentina only 1x.

Google

yes despite getting 3 full points to be able to lift and maintain a position at a better level in the standings, still 25% is a bad number for a team as big as Juventus in possession of the ball, I am very concerned about this despite Juventus' success in getting a win, with a narrow space Juventus can enter a goal and do a defense strategy just because they want to secure their position, it is an act that is like underestimating themselves, Fiorentina even though they lost in score but they won in the game on the field, they will be more confident even though this time they lost.

To be honest Juventus also managed to produce a goal in the first half well but both of their remaining goals were trapped off side which caused them to be disallowed.

Serie A has now been so competitive with three champions the last three seasons, including this season. This is a good thing for football and Serie A its self as a competition. This fact can become a reasonable reason to say clubs find it hard to fulfill their ambitions. This is why I don't think a bad thing for Juventus to have a downfall.

Juventus need to reevaluate their model of club management and strategies to prepare for next season. I think it's time to move on from Massimiliano Allegri, not because he is bad (he is good), but Juventus need a fresh idea and style of play and recruitment. They need to show that they can compete at a highest level not just because financial superiority, but also the a good recruitment and development of young talents. They should just approach Zidane to lead their team next season, because he is also a legend for Juventus and a great coach.

That was a very terrible outing by Bologna, a match they would have won without stress if they had played their usual way. Relegation candidate Frosinone holding them to a goalless draw was indeed bad for a team fighting to qualify for champions league this season. Many people, including me, expecting a direct win from them to widen the gap between them and keep their hope of top 4 alive. This draw just reduces their chances.

Juventus had no other option than to win tonight. Without that win and assuming Bologna was able to win their match, there would have been a problem because Bologna would have been very close to displacing them from the third position  which is more conformatable for champions league than the fourth position. It is nice to see Juventus winning again.
