Roma will not have their best players for the match with Bologna as Lukaku, Zalewski will be off, Dybala will be missing because he was injured in the match against Fiorentina. Bologna and AS Roma have same total points and their coming match will decide what team will take the fourth position. If they end it with a draw, Napoli will have their chance to take a fourth position from Roma.

Without two best attacking players, Mourinho will let Roma starting that match very defensive and wait for mistakes from Bologna to counter attack and find three points. The key for Roma is their midfield and defense system must protect Patricio good enough before they can exploit Bologna system.

When it comes to making a prediction in these types of matches, I generally do not have any preference. Because both of the teams are not performing well at this moment. And things are definitely not easy to predict when both of the teams are losing almost all of the matches in the last five.

Well, that may be an exaggeration but you get what I am saying right? Both of the teams are not performing well. Empoli is actually fighting to stay out of the relegation zone. So they will definitely try to at least get 1 point from this match. And if they can win this one, it is going to be great for them. But I highly doubt that they will be able to win in this match.

In their last 5 matches, Empoli was able to win 2 matches against Lecce so in today's match of course there is a big possibility that Empoli will be able to secure victory if they can perform better. However, if you look at their position in the standing table this season, of course Lecce is performing better than Empoli, so it could be that everything could change in today match. Empoli may have the advantage of being the host in today match but they still have to play carefully because Lecce can pose a threat to them.

Empoli must be able to win today match in order to stay away from the relegation zone. In my opinion, the strengths of these two teams are relatively balanced and it is possible that the final result will most likely end in a draw. Lecce in their last 3 matches ended in a draw, will they be able to end this match with a win considering that the team they are facing is a team that is ranked low on the standings.

Very good speculation and I agree with your speculation, it is very reasonable even though Lecce is above Empoli but it seems like Empoli has Lecce's weakness and in every meeting between these two clubs Empoli can always almost dominate the match and the current odds are also very good, quite high but I still have to do some more research before deciding to bet on this match because I am worried if Lecce can turn things around and win the match or maybe even a draw.
If after doing research I don't find a definite result, I will decide not to bet on this match because the result is a little risky. Empoli often surprises or maybe I can choose to bet on the total score which is more comfortable.

I don't know if there will be a winner in this match or not, because they're not in a good place with each other either and I'd prefer it to end in a draw. But maybe Empoli have the advantage in this match, because they will act as the host. However, with their current form I doubt they will be able to take advantage of their status as hosts to win.
Lecce achieved unsatisfactory results in the last 5 matches that could not win once and only got 3 draws, so it is likely that they will also receive a draw in this match.

In the Serie A, Roma hasn't really been in their best of performances but they've no doubt been trying in the aspect of meeting up the race for the European cups ticket. In their recent games, they've lost and also drawn some of the games and now their main striker will be out for their subsequent games which seems tough too. Their first encounter with Bologna will definitely be a tough ride because, they both are in the same range of performance technically and they both have a purpose to fight for. None would want to take their chance.

 Bologna's got the upper hand because of the home advantage and then Roma is short off their striker who's the only one capable to make goal scoring impacts in the game for them. Then they'll go up against Napoli, even if Napoli has gone away from the top 5 sit as a result of the recent games outcome, I do not personally think, Napoli would want to loose to Roma again. They've experienced losses already from Juventus and a draw too and it's not one to be traded with, their spot is slipping off gradually and they can't afford to let it go off completely.
Lukaku's absence will one littlest way affect the team and so they've got to create alternative solutions that'd work for the team for the mean time.

Empoli vs Lecce

I have been noticed about Empoli performance because recently this team has been showing good progress that although it cannot be says good but at least from 9 matches in Serie A Empoli can able to gets 3 wins and this also makes their position was at 17th now and for Empoli opponent Lecce although from the position on league standings Lecce slightly better than Empoli but this team is still struggle to gets the winning results because from the last 10 matches in all competitions Lecce only able to gets 1 win so if we see from these statistics obviously Empoli is slightly better

Empoli and Lecce most likely will playing with all of their key players because so far there was no players who got injured or suspension from them and Empoli has good records from Lecce while playing at their home ground because from 2 last meetings at home against Lecce they can win all of those matches and today too i feel like they will being an the winner of this match and collect 3 points and Empoli win has odds 2.60

The match between Roma vs Fiorentina was very fierce and the players played aggressively, causing various problems so that both clubs received red cards.
Roma took the lead in the opening minutes of the match through a goal created by Romelu Lukaku. The first half ended 1:0

In the second half, Roma had to lose Zalewski in the 64th minute, then Roma was forced to play with 10 players. Giving Fiorentina an opportunity to break through Roma defense and it was true that not a long time Fiorentina was able to equalize in the 66th minute through Martinez's kick. Roma started to get confused because Fiorentina had started to do it. attacks but Fiorentina failed to score additional goals and neither did Roma until finally the match ended in a 1:1 draw.

The sad news is that Roma in this match had to lose Dybala in the middle of the match due to injury and lost Romelu Lukaku because he received a red card even though these two players are important players for Roma and on Friday Roma will face Sheriff in the European league, the only opportunity Roma will be able to qualify for the next round but if Roma loses it is very likely that Roma will not qualify and this is an important match without important players of course Jose Mourinho has to prepare a new strategy.

Actually, I see your point about Roma's lack of consistency. All of their games are like roller coasters, right? Thats something I noticed too, especially when they played teams like Fiorentina. Unfortunately, both teams seemed about the same this time, even with all the red cards. Like Mourinho's bold play sometimes backfires, which is why those players got sent off. Sure, its an exciting match, but you have to admit it.

Regarding Serie A, Inter Milan seems to be doing pretty well this year. These players seem to be taking advantage of times when other teams, like Roma, arent paying attention. Inter has a great chance to shine. Since Roma keeps losing to better Serie A teams, isnt that becoming a pattern? Inconsistency like this is probably why I dont like betting on their games.

A crazy match indeed when looking at yesterday's match where a lot of drama happened here but indeed the loss belonged to Roma in this match.
Dybala is in a vulnerable phase right now but this only makes the situation worse because apart from the draw, Roma also lost Lukaku and Zalewski in this match.
Now indirectly this will make Roma even more difficult because losing 3 pillars  in Roma current condition makes it even more difficult for them to face the ongoing match. 

After Romelu Lukaku's goal in the early minutes of the match, there were no more shots from Roma that were on target, and when Zalewski received a second yellow card it made things even more difficult for them and Fiorentina managed to equalize but they couldn't take advantage of their more of players to get 3 points.
The draw they got did not affect their position in the standings and it was quite unpleasant when the struggle became messy because of a red card, and it seemed that the referee was very strict in this match.
Against Bologna next week will be a more difficult match for Roma because Bologna is experiencing quite good development so far.

Even when Juventus held Inter Milan to a draw, we could see that Juventus didn't have much control of the ball. They defend more and make counter attacks. And it was almost the same when they faced Napoli. Although with a different formation. It seems Allegri knows the performance limits of his squad so he chose a safer method for his team.

And Inter Milan's performance this season is truly terrible. I didn't expect Inzaghi to be able to develop Inter Milan better from season to season. So it is not surprising that many people are now optimistic that they will be able to see Inter Milan lift the trophy at the end of this season. I personally am not so sure. But looking at their current performance, it cannot be denied that currently the best performance in Serie A belongs to Inter Milan.

The AS Roma vs Fiorentina game ended in a 1-1 game draw, I saw that coming because of the red cards that was given the referree, he witnessed some misused of words and tough tackles from both sides, he just did his best to zip up the match actions. A game José Mourinho men have prepare to win but got disappointed. The referee, Rapuano Anthonio on fouls decisions was extreme, he never back out or show pity, he became too harsh for both sides. Giving Romelu Lukaku a straight red card was just crucial because he did show his boot pin against his opponents.

The intense intensity of the game makes it difficult for a number of players to control their emotions because they are easily provoked, which can make the game even more out of control. The two red cards received by Roma were quite disadvantageous and the two players should have avoided it, especially since they have a busy match schedule this month. A quick goal from Lukaku should be able to motivate players to play more openly and they can play with a level of maturity in defense because they were ahead first.

Mourinho is known to have the ability to create a solid defense with a bus parking style, but it will be quite risky when they are short of players. Luckily Fiorentina was unable to increase their lead so Roma avoided defeat and Roma must win in the next match because if no they lose their position in the standings which be shifted to Bologna or Napoli.

Roma did faced with big challenge from Fiorentina in the second half of the match to secure one point as well as their fourth position in Serie A. The absence of Zalewski won't be a big problem for Roma as they can use some other wing-backs to replace Zalewski. The player is not a main wing-back in Roma and they will not have big issue to replace him.

In contrast the absence of Lukaku will cause big trouble for Roma as they will not have him for three matches. In addition Lukaku is a Roma's main striker and he scored many goals for them so far. Belotti and Azmoun will have to try a lot when they will play in next three matches but it is their opportunity to prove their ability in eyes of Mourinho.

It is their temporary standing and they can lose it after any match day. There are some clubs which are not too far from AS Roma on the standing table and with very closely point differences, they will wait for only a draw from Roma to take over the fourth position from Giallorossi.

I was very entertained by the competitive match between Roma and Fiorentina yesterday but what I did not like was the way Lukaku tackle was very dangerous for opposing players, it could be a lifelong injury, he suffered a broken leg and fortunately it did not hit the opponent leg completely so its possible that the injury was not too serious and after doing it Lukaku carelessness will have a bad impact on the upcoming match because as you said Dybala seems to have to rest because his injury has recurred and Lukaku cannot be present in the upcoming match while Mounrinho is enthusiastic about improving Roma performance in the next 3 matches come against Napoli and if in that match Dybala cannot appear and Lukaku is still serving a suspension, it looks like Roma will experience another decline in performance.

Roma must be grateful to be able to get a point because it is not easy to play a match with high tension which makes the players' emotions uncontrolled. Two red cards for Roma during normal time clearly made Mourinho very upset, the threat from La Viola was so dangerous that Mourinho had to change his tactics to secure a point. The result of the two red cards received by Zalewski and Lukaku will be very detrimental for Roma in facing the next match. The Giallorossi are currently still in fourth place in the standings, but the difference in points with the other teams below them is very small, except for Bologna, who have both collected 25 points. Next week Roma and Bologna will face each other, this match is very important for Roma not to lose points so that competition at the top is maintained.

AS Roma opened the match too early with an assist from Dybala and a goal from Lukaku's headshot. The second yellow card for Zalewski is too strict but the direct red card for Lukaku is well-deserved. He made a stupid dangerous foul which can break the leg of opponent and put an ending for the opponent player career. Lukaku will miss next three matches that are tough and important for AS Roma. Roma also got another bad news, Dybala got another injury and they will have to hope that he will recover soon enough.

At least AS Roma can satisfy from the draw as they still hold the fourth position and don't lose it to Fiorentina. In another situation, Bologna surprisingly jumps to the fifth position with 25 points like Roma.

Both Jose Mourinho and all Roma players did not join the press conference after the match. It seems they planned it after an investigation against Jose Mourinho with his saying in the press conference after the match against Sassuolo.

Jose Mourinho will have double headache for next three matches if Dybala won't be able to play and Lukaku will surely miss those matches. He will have to use two substitution strikers, Belotti and Azmoun for those matches. Serie A in this season is very exciting with many clubs are not far from each other with nearly similar strengths so that even now we can see many clubs are competing for the third and fourth positions from AC Milan, Roma to Bologna, Napoli, Atalanta and Fiorentina.

Juve is one of the strongest teams in Serie A, and I really like how they have carried it forward, it is also worth noting that Napoli is a team that has dropped a lot, it is not the same team as last season, so I'm not surprised that things for the team look like this, Osimhen for his part did what he could, but I didn't even see Osimhen looking on like he always plays, I think this is one of the things that we all see in Napoli I think they lack heart, and instead he sees Juve as excellent, they are doing a great job, I don't think this team is doing badly, they are in first place, so far they are the leaders, but of course they now have to play very well so that they can maintain that advantage, from what I have seen of this team things can be quite obvious, everyone wants first place, it seems excellent to me that Juve is in this position now, because they have had a very hard time, they have It fell to levels that no team I have seen have passed.

With respect to last season, well things are very different now, first of all they are people who are always willing to do their best, but Juve took 14 points away from them which left them far behind in the standings, but now I think they Life is smiling well on Juve, because they beat the team that surpassed them, and I think that if it had not been like that, only last season Juve would probably be in the first places at that time, now things are falling into place, Juve They cannot play in competitions like the UCL in any of those, but now yes, they are only in Serie A and they are doing well, because they have many things in their favor, firstly that they are only focused on Serie A, and secondly the players They see nothing else but winning this competition, the only one in which they are participating, for that very reason the events can be very relevant.



Well, I really like the way Serie A is being run, because basically things are going very much in favor of Inter being able to be the rival without a doubt of a Juve that is waiting for anything to go ahead, also as I have I said before, I would like Juve to win Serie A because Juve, because of everything they've been through, those super heavy sanctions, so I think things are pretty good when it comes to doing everything possible to play as They are doing it, once again Inter is showing that they have a great level to be able to defend their leadership, now with the participation of Juve they can make a difference and I think they are very motivated, nothing more than the fact that they are playing in Serie A and that they cannot play in another competition because they must see that as an opportunity, there is no other option, that is what we have to see, Allegri is giving everything, the team is responding very well.

When Juve's game becomes beautiful, when they manage their passes well, their way of reaching the goal, I really like how their attack looks, I think things can be excellent if they believe that they play the last game for all of them equally, because they maintained a victory in a very difficult match, I think that many of us were doing our best to make Juve win, at that moment they reached First Place, but they have to continue doing it like this, because only in that way can they win again First of all, this season seems very exciting to me because last season when they took away precisely those 14 points, things were not the same, Napoli was the only team that took advantage of everything and they were able to win the Series A, but now they are not doing a good job, and probably next season the team will fade away, because many players are going to go to other teams.

Angelo Di Livio says Juventus is developing a good fighting spirit

Udinese was just a garbage club. I would be so dumb for intermilan to miss three points from udinese caused by it was not in the same level as intermilan. The only strong competitor for milan was juventus but this club is also struggling when it faces a med tier club as well. Intermilan was just getting perfect winning against one of the weak team. It was an easy match for us caused by in fact that if intermilan is still doing it better than before. Scudetto is on intermilan's hand as long as it can keep the gap toward juventus. Who knows if intermilan will be missing some points due to the potential of bsuy schedules that will make its players become exhausted. The old lady is not missing the chance.

The club can still make it as long as they can become even more consistent till intermilan will be missing some points due to the busy schedules. This is the only chance for juventus to keep up with intermilan at the second place.
Intermilan can still sometimes making some mistakes that will lead the team to the loose of some points. Juventus can only rely upon that situation only.

The chances owned by old lady to win the scudetto is not that big but the key points are waiting intermilan to miss points in the serie a.
