It is clear that Juventus position will be threatened if they lose points again, Bologna and Roma are very ready to take over their place. Juventus setback occurred because they lacked adequate rotation options, so when injuries occurred to several key players, Allegri couldn't do much. I don't think the manager can be completely blamed for this setback, he has worked as hard as he can to make Juventus stable. Juventus struggle to win the Scudetto is considered finished, now they must focus on staying in the top four of the standings.

This season Juventus best hope is in the Coppa Italia, Allegri and his players have to work hard to win this trophy. In my opinion, Juventus has a real chance of winning it, because their next opponent is not a team as tough as Inter Milan. Serie A has a few games left, and Juventus management has a lot of work to do for next season. If they manage to finish in the top four, then adding depth to the squad will be the main priority that Juventus management must pay attention to as they look ahead to next season, because they will appear in the Champions League.

For the Italian teams at the moment, they'll be focusing their strength on the domestic Serie A league and they ought to be doing excellently well in it. Especially Juventus, they've even had a greater chance of being far ahead in the standings than the likes of Inter Milan because for others, after the league games, they'd still have to play the continental tournament and this will definitely affect player's physical capabilities too. Although, inasmuch as a weighty gap is expected of them, Inter Milan has made it difficult because they've also been in their best form.

 At the same level time, it'll not be hard to stay in shape to earn a ticket to next season's European contests. They've been able to play resiliently and the results so far is fit to help them earn this ticket but the difficulty they may face this season is the trophy of the Serie A, the top contenders won't let it slip away from them, they're in their own way and end putting streanous efforts to ensure that they get the maximum number of points to keep the gaps and help them win the trophy. There's really no time to make a difference but they themselves know it's not going to be as easy as it ought to be considering the intensity in games this season.

 Inter are ahead with a reasonable point gap and undeniably, they're are proving to keep up with consistencies which if met, Juventus no matter what won't be able to catch up to them. Inter are no longer faced with the European contest and so for inter Milan and Juventus, they've still got extra time to prepare ahead for the league games. Against Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan did well to stay in the game but it wasn't just well enough to help them advance in the contest. They've gained enough grounds this season and it's profitable to them considering how well and useful their position has been and will be for them in subsequent games and seasons too.

No club in the Italy Serie A league could be compared with Inter Milan this season. Inter Milan is playing on a different level in Italy's Serie A league, and they are leading by 14 points in Italy's Serie A table. Inter Milan will soon win the Italy Serie A league title when the Italy Serie A league has not ended. Juventus knows they are out of the Serie A title race because of the big points difference between them and Inter Milan.

Motivation was lost because they were too far behind Inter Milan and in terms of strength they were also unable to compete with Inter Milan, so they continued to get a series of bad results in the second half of this season.
Now Juventus just needs to maintain their ability to finish in the top 4, that's all they can realistically achieve.
And it is true that from what happened, Allegri was the person most responsible for everything that happened, he seemed to have failed to motivate his team.

Bologna has strength this season and they are also quite consistent in what they have achieved so far, making their motivation increase to be able to finish in the top 4, and I think that is quite possible.
Bologna is a surprise team this season who is able to be in the top flight, and they are ready to compete for tickets to the Champions League this season.

Improved performance will have a positive effect on the team and we hope he can avoid long injuries if he wants to become an important player in the squad. De Rossi needs several forward players when he wants to rotate to smooth their steps to finishing in the Champions League zone and that is why he really needs the presence of these players. Tammy Abraham can help the front line become more dangerous and if De Rossi is able to make better use of their performances then the team will become stronger and develop.

The victory against Sassuolo made the players' mentality even better because currently they are only three points behind Bologna in third place. Next, De Rossi will face Lecce and after that he will face a slightly more difficult match against Lazio. If these two matches can result in victory then AS Roma's chances of competing for third place in the standings will be even greater.

It is very unfortunate that Juventus' position, which was originally in second place, had to be shifted by AC Milan and now Juventus is in 3rd place.

So this season, Juventus seems to have lost its spearhead. The reason is, it is very difficult for Juventus to win the last 3 matches they have played. Even against lower ranking teams, Juventus has great difficulty winning matches. For example, in the last 3 matches, Juventus have not won once. In fact, if you look at the clubs that Juventus is playing against, I don't think it will be too difficult for Juventus to win the match. The reason is that these clubs are Genoa, Atalanta and also Napoli.
However, in fact the match between Juventus and Genoa ended in a draw (0:0). Against Atalanta, Juventus was only able to bring home a draw (2:2). And against Napoli, Juventus went home with a defeat (2:1). Well, if you look at the matches that Juventus has played (especially in the last few weeks), I think that at the end of this season Juventus will experience a quite significant drop in ranking in Serie A. The worst case scenario is, Juventus could drop to 5th place in the Serie A standings. Who knows what happened to Juventus that caused its performance to decline. In fact, if you look at the current schedule, Juventus has a lot of time to practice and prepare strategies to face the opponents they will face. But it seems that this free time does not have much influence on the performance of the Juventus players.

Apart from that, Inter Milan is currently still firmly at the top of the standings. Maybe Inter Milan will continue to be safe at the top of the standings until this season ends.

You're absolutely right, Juventus strangely doesn't perform as well as it should given that it was only involved in Serie A and the Coppa Italia, with a team as strong as theirs I would have expected them to have given everything to win the Scudetto, I think only Allegri is to blame in all this

I think this is not about Milan's success in overtaking Juventus, but because Juventus is unable to maintain that position. What's worse, while other teams have busy schedules or difficult schedules in other competitions but still manage to get good results in the Serie A standings, but Juventus are completely destroyed even though Juventus only play in Serie A and/or in the domestic league this season. Indeed, Juventus is still in the top four and it is still possible for Juventus to finish in the top four but still, if I consider the recent results, it is clear that Juventus has experienced a very serious decline in performance. The factor that makes Juventus lucky at this moment is, at least Juventus still has quite good capital by having a wide gap in points with the teams ranked fourth and fifth and thus Juventus position is still safe in third position.

Yes, I don't know what happened to Juventus, who only won one win in their last 5 matches, causing them to be replaced by Milan.
They should be able to focus more because they only play in the Serie A competition, but are unable to catch Inter Milan at the top of the standings. I see Juventus' unstable performance or outdated Allergy tactics making it difficult for them to win.
but even though they have difficulty winning, I am sure they will remain in the top 4 of the standings, Juventus will try to improve it so they can appear in the UCL next season.

I doubt with Juventus has large opportunity for next season keep in the Scudetto race if Massimiliano Allegri still become the manager, I am not excited yet with his tactical and how poor games play of Juventus in this season. Actually has chance for Juventus keep pressure Inter Milan on the top place but last several matches inconsistency performance and can't win against Inter Milan or several bigger top teams. The realistic target in this season for Juventus finish on the top fourth standings, currently after losses many points in last several matches make Juventus not secure yet with their 3rd standings position although remaining 8 points left from AS Roma as the team on 5th standings position.

Next match seems not easily for Juventus facing Lazio, if losses points again will be most difficult to defend the Champion League spot standings behind still difficult opponent team from facing Milan and AS Roma on Serie A matches left.

Juventus can do nothing this season, and it is obvious that Inter Milan is winning the current season and juventus has no chance anymore to get it. Acmilan has been surpassing Juventus and is now in second place. Juventus can only try to qualify for the UCL next season. The club continues to produce poor results, reducing its chances of qualifying for the UCL next season. The old lady is still having copa italia that has become its last trophy that cna be won by the club.Juventus will have no any chance to win a trophy it will also fail in coppa italia against lazio soon. Juventus' recent performance has been so bad and the club requires some motivations to its  improve even further. Juventus' main problem is a lack of motivation, which has a significant impact on player performance. allegri has been targeting by whole of juventus fans for this terrible performance owned by the club. Juventus players become extremely inconsistent in all matches. It is extremely difficult for the club to win a match against a mediocre club, which is an embarrassing result for a large club like Juventus.

The last game revealed just how bad Juventus is now. Juventus received a red card and drew against Genoa; this is a disgraceful result for Juventus and its players. Fans have demanded Allegri leave the club and join Manchester United to replace Ten Hag. They were very upset with Juventus' performance. Vlahovic returns to his worst form with Juventus. It's obvious that this club is now toothless. Juventus has not yet stopped trying to get another bad result. More problems are likely to follow shortly.

I think the Bologna vs Juventus match will be played at the end of this season, to be precise two games before the end of the season. so it's still quite a long time and it's best for now for us to focus on the match that Bologna will play this week. The competition for tickets to the Champions League is always interesting every season, especially this season, Bologna is performing quite well and Roma is also able to perform better this season. For the next opponents, Bologna will face Salernitana and for Roma they will face Lecce.

Of course there is a big opportunity for Bologna and Roma to get 3 points because the opponents they face are low-ranked teams which means Roma and Bologna can try to maximize their chances of achieving maximum results this week. On the other hand, it seems like Juventus and AC Milan are in a fairly safe position where their point difference with Bologna and Roma is already far away.

I will say that position 2 is not part of the competition, but only position 3 and 4. This is because I don't think that Milan will not be able to maintain their second position till the season will be over. They have been consistent recently, and the way they came from behind to overtake Juventus is still surprising.

Milan have always being on the third position despite the little challenge that they had in the beginning of the season, and that did not make them to lose focus on maintaining their position, till when they took over the second position. They are more reliable on winning their match, and I don't think that even Juventus will be able to pull them back to the third position.

Bologna is 8 points behind Milan, and Roma is 11 points behind Milan making it possible for Milan position to be achieved by these two club, because Milan will still win more games before the end of the season.

They still have to fight for their position in top four. At least top four is a guarantee that they will join Champions League 2024 - 2025. If they lose a position in top four and end this season with a fifth position, they will have to hope that Serie A will be given 5 spots for Champions League next season.  It is risky because it depends on performances of Italian clubs in Europa League and Conference League as in Champions League, after Inter Milan failed, Italy has no club there.

Juventus can come back next season and fight for Scudetto but they must do many things in the summer. Inter Milan are very strong in Italy recent years and no signal that they will go downside soon. Therefore to compete against Inter Milan, Juventus must become stronger and there are other clubs like AC Milan, Roma that can challenge Juventus too.

Is there nothing Juventus can do this season? They are too shackled by bad results and can't get up when other teams win. I mean they have now dropped to 3rd place in the standings and it will be much easier for other teams like Bologna and Roma to threaten their current position. Previously, they had been in second place in the standings for a long time and had become serious competitors for Inter, but in fact Milan was able to overtake them in the last few matches.

Here we can see that big teams that don't compete anywhere can't be used as a mainstay to win the Scudetto and Juventus is an example. While most of the other teams are busy outside of the Italian competition, they are even more devastated and unable to improve their situation. I think if this season they fall out of the top 4 then that would be a shame.

in my opinion the punishment must be double for them
we all know that insults exist in sport and must be punished, but a professional paid a lot of money cannot do something like that
otherwise he`s not a professional and should be kicked where it suits him

I repeat it`s fine to play like men but no insults

Bologna become an unpredictable team at the moment. what happened to Atalanta last few season, seems to be the same situation with the current Bologna team. i know, bologna cannot win all their matches against mid-table teams, but from their performance, I see that Bologna has the potential to win the match against Juventus. However, we still need to pay attention to the quality of the players that Juventus have. Even though Juventus often find difficulties to win, for the competition of UCL tickets, I am sure Juventus players will perform better against Bologna. The battle for position 1 is no longer something we have to worry about, but the competition for positions 2 - 4 is still very interesting.

Bologna	54
Roma	51
Atalanta	47
Napoli	45

Salernitana going in B for sure..

With the elimination of Inter Milan from the Champions League, the club will now focus on the Seria A title. Inter is fourteen points ahead of AC Milan and seventeen points above Juventus. It will be very difficult for these teams to overtake Inter. The goal of these two teams will be to get a Champions League ticket and not the Italian league title. Inter lost two points when they drew against Napoli, however, the next game will be against Empoli. The international break is usually a turning point for some teams while it could also be a bad time for some clubs. Players are sometimes injured while representing their countries which might affect the performance of the clubs. The more injured players are club might have during this international break might determine how well they will fare after the break.

That's right, Juventus still has a chance to qualify for the UCL because Juventus is still in 3rd place in the standings. Juventus must really be able to take advantage and win the remaining matches they will play, because if Juventus loses or draws continuously in the following matches, I am sure Bologna and AS Roma will definitely be able to overtake Juventus' position. I'm still not sure whether Juventus will meet Bologna and AS Roma will be able to win this match. In several matches, it was seen that Juventus was still having difficulty winning the matches they faced, because their performance was not good and their play was less consistent. So Juventus must be really careful when facing Bologna and AS Roma, because these two teams are in good form.
