Bologna after all good performances in this season so far, they really deserve to be eligible for Champions League next season. Nevertheless, in general, it will be better for Serie A if Roma will be their representative in Champions League, not Bologna. I am very doubtful on ability of Bologna to play well in Champions League if they can be there.
Bologna has been very surprising this season, no one thought before that they could be in the top 4. If they can maintain this position, Bologna will have the opportunity to play in the UCL next season and this will provide a new experience for the Bologna players. Of course they won't set any targets. Participating in the UCL has been a valuable experience for the Bologna players.The new experience for Bologna is certainly worth it even though there is no target but the appearance in the Champions League will make the players have great motivation, there is no greater hope if it goes through but when Bologna qualifies for the next phase then it is a big record for him.
There was no change in the score until 90 minutes of time passed which made them have to be willing to share 1 point in this match.
Honestly, although it is quite good but in my opinion this is a loss for Roma because after all for now they should be able to get 3 points in this week especially the opponent is still quite below them but instead in this match it was like Lecce who played without burden.
Lecce played well even though the possession of the ball was fully owned by Roma but in terms of opportunities they really did their best because they seemed to have a much better performance in this match compared to Roma.
Roma's chances are also not bad but when looking at the actual comparison for this match I think it is very much better Lecce than Roma which makes this result not too strange because indeed Roma really can't take advantage of their advantages even though they are favorites in this match.
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.Honestly, although it is quite good but in my opinion this is a loss for Roma because after all for now they should be able to get 3 points in this week especially the opponent is still quite below them but instead in this match it was like Lecce who played without burden.

But even though this match ended in a draw I consider that this is a defeat for Roma because they should be able to maximize this match well which should be 3 points for them.
With this result they failed to catch up with Bologna because with Bologna's big win over Salernitana, they currently have a difference of 5 points with Roma and the problem is Atalanta who can still catch up because with the remaining 1 match Atalanta can now get 3 points and immediately shift Roma's position at this time considering the situation that is happening now their point difference is only 2 points.

Participating in the UCL has been a valuable experience for the Bologna players.In terms of strength, Bologna is good and consistently they are also quite good and so it is likely that they can be even better next season.
Bologna is the surprise team this season who is at the top of the standings, the consistency of this team should be appreciated and currently there is competition with several teams to be able to finish in the top 4. The Bologna team is still the favorite because they have a fairly consistent performance.
The fight for tickets to the UCL this season is very fierce, there are 3 teams, namely Bologna, Roma and also Juventus.

Currently Bologna only needs one more win to be able to eliminate Juventus from 3rd place, the poor performance of Juventus, Napoli and Roma this season is certainly a strong reason Bologna is able to be in the top 4 at this time, I think we also should not underestimate Bologna in the Champions League, maybe financially Roma is still better than Bologna, But I think when Bologna qualify for the Champions League of course they will improve their squad to be better than they are now, besides qualifying for the Champions League will be an easy reason for them to sign good players next season.

Bologna performance this season is of course quite surprising to all of us, Thiago Motta's qualified strategy does have a considerable effect on Bologna's game which has always been outside the top 10, I think if they play in the Champions League of course it will increase their popularity in Europe and as you said, their experience will of course increase next season because of playing in the Champions League, In addition to experience, it looks like they will also earn a lot of money on broadcasting rights in the Champions League next season.

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 don`t think Empoli had the strength to respond to goals
regarding the goals not scored, I think that their coach Inzaghi gave orders to measure the strength and not to exaggerate
they have to hold tight with Milan at -11
even if everything is almost certain, you never know, it`s better not to risk it
In fact, Inter had a quick goal in the 6th minute andthus, Inter shouldhave been able to win with a bigger goal maybe like 3-0 or maybe 4-1 which would have been interesting . But unfortunately, it seems that Inter quick goals in this match meant that Inter might have slightly reduced their attacking aggressiveness, sothat Inter failed to score a manygoal in this easy match .Because after all, Empoli is also the team in the relegation zone, what's more, Empoli is also playing away in this match against Inter. Therefore, ofcourse it would be a natural result if Inter won with a clean sheet but unfortunately, Inter failed to win with a biggerscore but nevertheless, winning in this way is still a good result.
Bologna is only two points different from Juventus, of course this will be a warning that Juventus must be able to recover, Allegri seems to have to be replaced immediately because he is unable to make Juventus more confident, now he often experiences failure and defeat, which will never be good. In the end, it is certain that Juventus will not will qualify for a UCL ticket next season and finish in the top four if they get bad results in the next few matches, that must be corrected immediately.
Juventus are experiencing a very bad results lately. We are talking about only two points from 12 and things doesn't seem to improve. Losing the second spot was already a warning, yet they continued to miss points. Now they are third and if they won't win against Lecce next round and Bologna win, then they will be fourth.
Luckily they were successful before while Roma were losing with Mourinho, otherwise they wouldn't be in that spot already.
Allegri knows well that his fate is at the stake with such disappointing results and I expect a new coach for Juventus by next season.
Even though being in 4th place has also brought Juventus to win Champions League tickets, at least Juventus is in the ranks of the elite clubs Inter Milan and Milan, and Juventus should be able to do this if they remember their history in the league. Don't let Juventus continue to go down just because they keep losing points, if Later being overtaken by Bologna is a bad thing for Juventus as a top club, this can be done by Bologna if they see that the difference in points between the two is very close, even if Juventus loses one more game, Bologna can overtake Juventus in 3rd place.

If he continues to fail, of course he will not be worthy of being retained as Juventus coach because it will not bring any changes to Juventus, there will not even be a title this season if they lose at Coppa Italia semi-final first leg match against Lazio today.

Bologna have now increased the gap between them and Roma with five points after the got a hard fought always win over Empoli after G. Fabbian put the club ahead in the extra time of the match.
Bologna made criticisms to be silent as after winning minimally in some matches and generally in this season, their success comes from their strong defense, they got a big win.It is strong voice from Bologna that they are ready to win and get three points in different ways and they aim at maximum points for each match. This makes Bologna is very dangerous for Roma in this race but with a latest draw, Roma are no longer safe at their fifth position. They have to try to catch Bologna while have to defend the current position against Atalanta.
Meanwhile, the consequences of the draw against Lecce left Roma 5 points adrift of Bologna, De Rossi efforts to bring his squad up to the top four were once again hampered.

Even though they didn't lose and still got 1 point from the draw, I think this is still a loss for Roma who should be able to steal 3 points from Lecce. Roma should be able to beat Lecce without any problems and it could be a close win if necessary. But it looks like Roma was not lucky enough because they were unable to score a single goal in this match.
They missed the opportunity to get closer to Bologna who have been consistent so far and I think Roma should not give up to ensure a place in the champions league at the end of the season. Now the difference is 5 points from Bologna and at least they have enough hope for Bologna to get bad results in the next match if they want to shift them from 4th position. But of course Roma also have to win again in the remaining matches and if they fail again like this then they will returning to the European league next season.
Roma's rejuvenation under De Rossi shouldn't be seen as the club's superiority overall the clubs in Seria A. Considering the statistics of the match, Lecce had better shots on target which means they the host had better chance of winning the game. As much as sports is concerned, no team should be underrated, therefore insinuating that Roma should have gotten a smooth win is not ideal.

Bologna have now increased the gap between them and Roma with five points after the got a hard fought always win over Empoli after G. Fabbian put the club ahead in the extra time of the match. Bologna would try to increase the game when thet meet Frosinone in Stadio Benito Stirpe while Roma will keep fighting to make it to the champions league when they host Lazio. Winning Lazio will be a difficult task but a good result will be a motivation for "The Yellow and Reds"to keep fighting till the end of the season.
Meanwhile, the consequences of the draw against Lecce left Roma 5 points adrift of Bologna, De Rossi efforts to bring his squad up to the top four were once again hampered. It is clear that the only hope of achieving a ticket to the Champions League is consistency, and waiting for Bologna to experience defeat in the remaining matches in the future. Regardless of whether Roma is lucky to get a slot in the Champions League because of the new format, they must try to finish in a comfortable position in the top four without relying on that luck.

my beloved Juventus is in crisis, lost with Lazio
It is a pity that Juventus lost and Roma played draw apart from these two teams, the other teams on top five won their matches. Inter just need 4 more wins to seal up their victory as winners of this year Scudetto.
Even though they didn't lose and still got 1 point from the draw, I think this is still a loss for Roma who should be able to steal 3 points from Lecce. Roma should be able to beat Lecce without any problems and it could be a close win if necessary.

my beloved Juventus is in crisis, lost with Lazio
Inter will be playing for a must-win tonight. The points difference with second-placed Milan is down to 11. Last week they drew with Napoli and lost points. They were also eliminated by Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. I'm sure they will focus more on the league now. On the other hand, Empoli are in the relegation zone. I don't think they have a chance against Inter in this match. The odds for an Inter victory are low. But I think Inter's win is a sure thing.
Inter started the match quickly and scored with Dimarco. It was already clear that the champion was superior to Empoli, they will try to widen the gap. Thuram and Martinez can also score goals. Empoli is also looking for a goal with M'Baye Niang. More goals will be scored in this match, both teams are attacking. Empoli now has nothing to lose. They have to get points to avoid relegation.
~snip~
Bologna has been amazing in Italy's Serie A this season, and they are serious contenders to finish in the top four of the Serie A League this season. I think Bologna will beat AS Roma to finish in fourth place in the league table because AS Roma has more difficult matches than Bologna this season. In the Serie A competition this season, there are only 8 matches remaining and it could be said that AS Roma have missed quite lot of opportunities, with only 8 matches remaining, I not sure that AS Roma will be able to show superiority by winning the top 4 positions.
Just look at AS Roma, in the remaining matches they still have to play against Bologna and Juventus, which is clearly not an easy match for AS Roma, plus there are Lazio and also Atalanta who might be able to give AS Roma surprise.
Bologna actually has different conditions because the toughest match is against Juventus, from all this I can estimate that in the battle for points during the remaining matches Bologna will have the advantage.
AS Roma will not be able to surpass Bologna until this season competition is finished.

There's no doubt about Inter winning the title this season and I can bet my money on this that there's no team that can overthrow them in the remaining eight games as it's impossible for the nerrazurri to lose the remaining. For the other contenders like Milan, Juventus and the rest, I'd say they focus more on qualifying for champions league next season because the point gap is too much.
Yesterday just showed how good Simeon Inaghi's men are and despite Empoli doing their best to get a point, they just couldn't match the standards of inter. To be honest, I thought they were going to lose the game since they had 11 points gap between them and Milan but to show that they aren't just good on paper, they thrashed the visitors 2-0.. One will call their performance a masterclass while others will feel they are just showing off but I think Inaghi is more invested in not taking chances and they may be on their way of setting a new record since Napoli finished last season with 90 points, with 16 points, Inter are opting for something higher.
