I believe that Juventus was set up to win the championship, but is failing miserably at its main goal, but it will be difficult to see Juventus out of the top 4. It has lost a lot of points in the last nine matches but it cannot continue this trend indefinitely, sooner or later it will return to positive results. Rather the management should start looking for a good replacement for Allegri next year.

Yes, I admit that the match at that time was very tough and both clubs both appeared very careful and I agree with what you said that Maignan as Milan's goalkeeper performed extraordinary in being able to save the goal from a very strong attack in the second half.
I saw that there was something interesting in that match when Milan tried to defend when the score was tied but in the second half Rafael Leao got a very good opportunity to dribble the ball without any Fiorentina defenders blocking him and it was very easy for Leao to score the second score and for me it was very ridiculous what the Fiorentina defender did without being able to stop Leao from scoring.
After that I saw that there was a change in Milan's pattern of play, becoming a little more defensive and maybe that was the way to lock in Milan's victory to get 3 points.

I personally still believe that Juventus will be able to stay in the top four of the Serie A standings even though indeed, I also realize that Juventus havereally become unpromising to keep getting good results in every match. But yes, because in my view Juventus still has the ability to be able to maintain its position in the topfour, because basically Juventus is not a mediocre team that only gets the luck to be in the top zone of the standings. Therefore, because Juventus is basically a big team that has good quality too, then thus, I believe Juventus will get a Champion League ticket for nextseason. Also, at least Juventus this season still has a chance to get a trophy, and the trophy is the Coppa Italia trophy.

Obviously Serie A is much more important than the Coppa Italia, but this victory was more for morale than for glory, by the way this victory brings a prize to Juventus, qualification for the next Italian Super Cup which will guarantee them further gains next year. Let's look at the glass half full

Edit

My mistake, I hadn't considered that the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia are first and return, so it's still to be decided

The importance of Serie A matches are superior to Coppa Italia and Juventus should really focus on the league to at least secure a place for Champions League next season.
For the moment they won with 2 goals to 0 against Lazio in the first leg of Coppa Italia. We all know that Lazio could return in the second leg and qualify, not because Lazio are good but because juventus is very random and could easily be defeated..
In the other game, Fiorentina are leading with 1 goal vs Atalanta in the first half.

Overall, this match was very tight and if I may say so, in fact, even if this match had to end with a draw, it would be a fair result for both teams because both teams had good performances in this match. However, luck was on AC Milan's side, so they were able to secure victory in this tight match.
Their game was balanced and they also bought and sold attacks and created many opportunities even though in the end only 3 goals were scored in this match. This result makes AC Milan more comfortable being in 2nd place in the standings, because at the same time Juventus also had to suffer another defeat in Week 30. With their gap widening, I am starting to see who will occupy 2nd place this season behind Inter Milan, namely AC Milan. Juventu is still not safe in 3rd place because they are only 2 points away from Bologna and are followed by AS Roma with a distance of 7 points. This is a real threat that Juventus must be aware of.

Lazio did win the Serie A match against Juventus. But in the Coppa Italia, Juventus got their revenge. This was the first leg though.

I actually agree that this loss does not disqualify them from being able to win in the second leg. I am talking about Lazio. I think it is actually very much possible that they actually make a comeback in the second leg.

You know Lazio are going to face Genoa and Verona before and after the match with Juventus in the Coppa Italia.
So I think they can actually give 100% concentration to the match against Juventus because those matches against Genoa and Verona are not going to be that hard for them in my opinion. At least those matches are going to be far easier compared to the match against Juventus. At least that's my opinion.

This match was actually very competitive. And it was a really good performance from Milan. Fiorentina also performed well. If the goalkeeper of Milan did not do so well, I think Milan might actually have lost the match. The goalkeeper made some really incredible saves. Good reaction time from the goalkeeper as well. It was actually a really good call from Fiorentina to actually finally beat the goalkeeper of Milan. Anyway, it seems like Milan is not going to lose the second position to anyone anytime soon. Rafael Leao was definitely the best player in the whole match.

Today another match is coming in Copa Italia Fiorentina vs Atalanta, odds are pretty much similar in this match, 2.50+ for both team. based on the previous match i expect Fiorentina will come out as winner today.

Lazio was just so lucky to win Juventus in their last Serie A meeting and considering the fact that they played at home also gave them some home advantage but that not withstanding, Juventus have retaliated their serie A loss to Lazio in the Copa Italia by Winning 2:0 in the first leg while they await the returning match on 23rd April, however Juventus will definitely qualify for the finals of the Copa Italia.

Despite Juventus not being too consistent in winning matches for sometime now but yet they are still very much better so their returning leg against Lazio in the Copa Italia wouldn't be a threat to them.

Juventus is this level of a team now, sure at the start of the season they were better, but looking at the situation right now we can easily say that they are not as good as they used to be.

This means that expecting them to be as good as they were at the start of the season would be naive, and betting accordingly would make you lose money as well. Doesn't mean they won't win games, they can still win games, even against great teams, but they probably would lose a lot more so it should be something we need to be careful about as well. This should be the situation that we have on the long run and if we could make that work then we are going to do a lot better with time as well, that is what matters for us the most.

I'm also a little confused by what the OP said about the match, because even though this is the semifinals it is very possible if we bet on a draw. You are right that there will be two rounds in the first leg and the second leg, and even though the result is a draw, betting can be done during the 90 minutes of normal time.

Talking further about the Copa Italia, Juventus has a big chance of becoming champions in the Copa Italia, at least that can cure their failure in Serie A this season. in the first leg of the semifinal against Lazio, they were able to win the match with a score of 2-0, that is very good capital that they can bring to the second leg. Because in the second leg they only need a draw to advance to the final round. With the advantage they currently have, it makes their task easier even though they will be playing at Lazio's headquarters. However, if they lose again, I can't stop thinking about them, because that means they have missed another big opportunity to be in the final and become champions.

I was quite surprised to see Juventus performance in the Copa Italia, I previously thought that Juventus would be easily defeated by Lazio like the previous match, but it turned out that my assumption was wrong because Juventus appeared quite impressive in that match, maybe the thing that made Juventus rise was none other than the Copa Italia is now the only solution for Juventus to get trophy this season,  But even so, of course Juventus' journey to be able to win the Copa is still quite difficult because the second leg will be played at Lazio home, although now Juventus managed to win the first leg in the Copa Italia but I think their performance crisis is still not over.

The Copa Italia is still possible for Allegri to win trophies this season, but it should not be for Allegri to forget their performance in the league which is currently threatened to get out of the top 4, because Juventus are still within reach of teams such as Bologna, Roma and maybe even Atalanta can also press them with the league still eight games left at this time,  I think Allegri should immediately be able to improve their performance this season and make Juventus to continue to be able to compete in bigfour the current league.

What I understood from the user you happen to quote was just using the right word in a wrong context. Saying that a draw can’t result in a game is wrong. Of course a draw could be the result of just any game in whatever competition but, there could be deciders for a win and that’s where the extra time comes up and eventual penalties depending on the outcome. This is always so just to get a qualifier from each round. So yeah, I think the user understand the game but, just didn’t use the words in its best fit.

Juventus did qualify from the semi finals of yesterday against Lazio and would be joined by which ever team happens to qualify from thie fixture between Fiorentina vs Atalanta. Make no mistake Fiorentina is a very good team, they would be playing from a home side and would have the home advantage in this game. I could only think of the game ending in penalties and that’s pretty much a 50:50 chance to qualify.

 De Rossi just came and should be given time to show himself. They're playing the league games and as well as the European games, their attention is on 2 trophies, European trophy will be difficult for them and I don't think that currently De Rossi would be able to scale through all the clubs that will be presented to him to face in each advancement phase of the tournament.
 
 Even in the Serie A, it'll be difficult for them to gain the top stand so it's just best that they focus their strength and struggle to maintaining a good result that'll see them scale through to the European cups next season. De Rossi can still make a great team from Roma and their next games encounters are awaited. When they played away to Monza weeks ago, the game outcomes actually went in their favor. They were able to confidently net in 4goals and this gave enough goal margin in the match today. Monza who were the host didn't actually make much effort, adding that they were up against a better side and nothing less or different from the final outcome was expected to happen.

 The odds were in Roma's favour and in their own part, they were able to perform and deliver rightly, adding an extra 3points to their league table points and this as well added to the push and morale ahead of their next European cup game against Brighton too. The games so far has been ending in Roma's favour as weekly they've tried to ensure a clear 3points victory or a draw with a wide goal margin too. This only assures then of a bigger possibility of the UEL clash which seems to be a tough game for Roma.
 
 They did a good job putting Brighton in that tight corner even though majority of us thought Brighton would stand up to the fight and try to reduce the goal gaps regardless. Roma have been able to gather enough confidence ahead of their domestic league games. Even though the top 2 spot isn't assured to them, they've been able to fight to maintain relevance and as well ensure that they secure an European ticket next season, just their consistency matters at this point. The advancement journey won't be easy, the forthcoming league games too won't be easy. But I believe De Rossi is set to give his best for the team judging from the result of their last two games.

Vlahovic is on -8 from Lautaro, but it is a little consolation with Juventus in crisis

You probably don't know how the Coppa Italia works. First of all there are two rounds per duel, namely the first leg and the second leg. So of course this game can end in a draw. Why would it not be possible to end in a draw? And even if you didn't get this wrong, it was talked about placing bets and the game can of course end in a draw after 90 minutes. A draw is a valid outcome no matter whether the game in question is a final, is getting decided in just one round or whatever else. After 90 minutes the can be tied and that is a valid option to place a bet on. You better do some research on the subject matter next time.

You probably don't know that this is a semi final match so there is no chance of a draw in this match but yes if both sides score equal number of goals in the first 90 minutes of the game then it is considered a draw for betting purposes.  But as a semi-final match, there will be no draw in this match.  So if both sides are level in the first 90 minutes then extra time will be given but if there is no solution then a final result will be given by penalties. In the last match Juventus won the match and considered for the final and the team who wins from here will play the final match with Juventus. I see Atalanta as a bit of a possibility in this match but I'm not sure about it, I'm also confused enough

Yes, I don't really know what happened, what they did, whether it was for Spalleti or whatever, it was a very bad strategy for the team, they did it very badly, so far things have not gone well at Napoli, not even among The top 4, at least they were in a good position in the standings last season and why not now? I don't know what happened to Osimehn, I don't know what happened to the coach, but the truth is that Napoli's performance is very bad, only last season they won and I don't know if it was a touch of luck and magic that ended, it's a shame because this team really had priority, they are not the shadow of what they were last season and that saddens, that's why they Always I will say that things with football are very changing.

It's very true, in fact when I was watching that Juve game and I saw that Lazio scored the goal against Juve I was disappointed and I didn't want to watch it anymore, it's not possible that things with Juve are already so necessary that they have to win and what they do is lose or draw, and I see that Allegri, well, I don't know what's happening, he's kind of out of control and doesn't know how to handle things well or something like that, but he should change the strategy quickly, they have to score goals, they can't continue losing more, they are still in 3rd, but they can lose that position, and Bologna is waiting, like Roma, they are almost hanging by a thread, it wouldn't be fair. If they left the top 4 positions in the standings it would be a total shame, because the effort they have made since the start of the season cannot be wasted this time.


Chiesa makes it clear what he wants after win over Lazio

Who knows if it is the competition that Allegri is more focused on that is making him not to be that serious with Scudetto, because he have seen it that no matter how Juventus play, the would not win the league. It is possible for Juventus to win the Coppa Italian, because I think they are the big club remaining in the competition.

Lazio might have gained all three points last weekend, but nothing is at stake for Juventus. This is the reason why Juventus did not bother about their lost. But we can see the match that quifying to the finals is at stake, Juventus was able to double the score in which Lazio used in winning them in Seria A. I don't think that Lazio will be able to win Juventus and qualify to the finals, because Juventus will play them as if it is a do or die affair.

Previously Lazio managed to beat Juventus in the Serie A match with a score of 1-0 but unfortunately, Lazio failed to beat Juventus again in the Coppa Italia. But even though Lazio lost in this Coppa Italita, at least this is also the first leg match, of course there is still a chance for Lazio to comeback in the second leg later. Although of course, to comeback is a difficult target but yes, if Lazio is still lucky enough then at least Lazio will still be able to do it.

So yes, this 2-0 defeat in the first leg at least still does not eliminate Lazio's chance to qualify for the Coppa Italia final match. But indeed, because considering Juventus who only play in the domestic league and also, Juventus who have failed to compete in the race for the Scudetto then of course, Juventus will also be able to maximize good results in the Coppa Italia of course with the target of getting a trophy in this Coppa Italia.
