Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[zidanw]

Inter is playing against Milan next Sunday. I have the feeling that it all will be decided on this day. Inter can't lose this game, because then the gap with Milan will be too much. But Inter is at the moment the better team with better players. Let us hope that we will see some fascinating game Tuesday with a lot of goals.

Juventus had a big chance to catch up with Napoli and get a little away from Roma also maybe. But they wasted this chance very generously at the same time. Their Bologna game should have been a big deal for them normally but somehow they struggled a lot. Bologna got ahead first and the stressful minutes started for Juventus right away. After Bologna had nine players left on the pitch, Juventus were barely able to score the equalizer. They still needed time for the second one also but it ended in a 1-1 draw. This should be a good lesson for them.

It is a really shocking match for Juventus now. They are still 1-0 behind against Bologna in their home match now. Although their opponent is playing with only nine players due to two red cards, Juventus are still struggling to even equalize the score. There are still a few minutes left for the end and they can find this goal hopefully. But the thing I'm curious is whether they will be able to win this match too. It would be very disappointing for them to lose points in a match like this.

this is juve's worst performance in the last 5 matches...

I'm sure Juve will lose if Soumaoro and Medel (bologna players) don't get a red card Lol, playing with 9 players made Bologna surrender to Juve's attack in the 95th minute. assist from morata put good by vlahovic.

[bekti3]

Juventus are behind on the score sheet and only 15 minutes left for them to get the equalizer it will be difficult considering how bologna team is playing and how tough defensively are juve only had one chance on the second half if they lose points today their fourth position will be threatened by roma if they win tomorrow against napoli.

The red card of the Bologna players indirectly saved Juventus from defeat in this match because indeed with the advantage of their players they managed to make a goal even though it was scored in the last minute of extra time but with this goal they could at least take one point from this match.
But on the other hand, it seems that Allegri has to make new innovations because indeed their game is starting to be read again now and the draw against Bologna is of course not a good result for them.

Juventus   vs   Bologna

Juventus' match against Bologna was considered one-sided by many people. But neither team could score at the end of the first half. Juventus made a few attacks but failed to make any shots on target. After all, Juventus' gameplay is weak enough. If Bologna can somehow score the first goal of the match, it will be very difficult for Juventus to win this match. But since it was Juventus' home match. I also thought that Juventus could easily get 3 points from this match. But their gameplay is not satisfied me.

Juventus trailed 0-1 at home against Bologna. I heard that Bologna was a favorite opponent of Juventus, but that doesn't seem to be the case today. It is characteristic of the Juventus season, it has been very difficult all season. A few times they have had a good period, but every time it collapses again. They still had very slight hopes of entering the championship, but that was basically over a few weeks ago when they were losing too much again. Maybe time for a new trainer? Selection is strong enough.

My prediction is right. Bologna scored the first goal of the match and Juventus were unable to win the match. I would say Juventus are very lucky that they were able to share the points in this match. Dusan Vlahovic's goal in the 90+5th minute of extra time allowed them to draw the match. Juventus will have to play better in upcoming matches. Otherwise they will not be able to stay in the fourth place of the table.

very good game Bologna vs Juventus was able to draw 1 vs 1, even though Juventus is ranked 4th, what will happen to Juventus if it continues like this?  even though they played 5 matches before against Bologna in Serie A, they won 4 and lost 1 against Inter, will Juventus be safe for the Champions League?

When we are talking about what will will happen in the standings, we should also take a look at the result of the other teams.
The current points difference between Juventus and the other teams who are competing for the Champions League spot is just a matter of 1-2 matches.
If Juventus continues like this and the other teams (especially Roma, Fiorentina and Lazio) do better, for sure Juventus will be out from the 4th position.
Juventus should do all their best in their last 5 matches left if they want to lock the last spot for the Champions League next season.

Yet another disappointing result for Juventus, only 1-1.

It is incredible how bad they are, they have no good players in midfield.

[Rockstarguy]

Juventus are behind on the score sheet and only 15 minutes left for them to get the equalizer it will be difficult considering how bologna team is playing and how tough defensively are juve only had one chance on the second half if they lose points today their fourth position will be threatened by roma if they win tomorrow against napoli.

Juventus' game today was not like usual, they played with a less than good performance in front of their own fans. Based on match statistics, Bologna dominates in possession, but Juventus is massive in attack. Maybe luck wasn't on their side today. BTW, I just realized that the one who scored the goal for Bologna was Arnautovic, I think he has retired from the club and also the Austrian national team.

The game was very hard for juventus,  bologna  performed very well expecially during the first half that Juventus was struggling to equalize the game. This very performance of Juventus is not what I used to know , Juventus need to work hard and come back strong and not to be struggling with small teams just to equalize game. Bologna would have been a good opportunity for Juventus to top up their game.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I think that Juventus have lost their chance for the title now even if there was a slight one before. They drew with Bologna in their home game and now the point difference with the leader in the standings is eight. As there are five weeks to go, Juventus would really need a miracle to make a comeback from this situation and reach the championship. From now on, it would be for their own benefit to focus on staying in top four in the standings. Because Roma seem to be dangerous for them as they are not too far from Juventus now.

This should be a good lesson for them.

Juventus appeared in a condition that was not bad I think and did not waste the opportunity to get 3 points and stay away from Roma, only Bologna this time appeared very good and strong with their best performance Bologna was able to thwart Juventus to win. With 10 players Bologna was still able to hold Juventus to get the Goal but one more card out and again thwart their luck.

Very disappointing result from Juventus, dropping two points against Bologna, this makes the chances of Juventus chasing AC Milan's points
even more difficult. After all Juventus were lucky they were able to draw, I think Bologna will win. Everything changed after Bologna got two
red cards, Juventus took advantage of this by scoring a goal before the match ended.

I agree that Juventus should focus on staying in the top 4, it's more realistic for now. Especially if Roma can achieve victory will be even more
interesting. Because the difference in points with Juventus is only a difference of 3 points. The problem is that Roma will face Napoli who are
in third place, and it seems difficult for Roma to beat Napoli. Moreover, Napoli will try to win against Roma, after previously Napoli suffered a defeat.
Because Napoli still want to try to win the Serie A trophy this season. We will see the result of Napoli vs Roma match in a few days,
which is very important to win for both teams.

[RealMalatesta]

Juventus did loss the chances of chasing the since they lost at home to Inter Milan.
They didn't play too well against Cagliari but they eventually turned winner's, winning two one in the process.
They have to continue Winning if they must qualify for the top four next season.
A good game in the first half will make them win the second half, I hope Vlahovic score's.

I am not saying that it was impossible for Juventus to become third if they beat Inter, but it was never guaranteed neither. With the game lost it is obvious that they are fourth now, and will probably stay there but if they are good enough and deserve it, they could still be third as well beating Napoli to that spot.

Inter on the other hand looks like they could actually win the whole league. If they do the double this year, after winning the league last year, that is going to be three important cups in 2 years and that is going to mean something financially as well and they could build a team not only to dominate the league which they could, but also win something in Europe as well.

With 10 players Bologna was still able to hold Juventus to get the Goal but one more card out and again thwart their luck.

After very strong comeback in this season now suddenly again they are giving poor performance and this draw is surely worst for them with end of hopes for having third spot which is amazing fight from them for this season. Today as they were playing I was feeling surely they are going to lose all points, but Bologna give them golden opportunity with 2 RedCards, and they take this with just one point which is also not bad for them in these circumstances.

Now tomorrow we have very interesting match between Napoli vs Roma which is also important for them as currently Roma is in amazing form and if they are able to beat Napoli then surely it's a big setback for them and good opportunity for Roma to have fight for higher spot with Juventus and Napoli.

Juventus this evening seriously risked losing a game that on paper was "already won" or that shouldn't have been so difficult (Bologna played in 9).
I believe that by now they have definitely abandoned any hope of winning the Scudetto ....

[Pulsar77]

Juventus lost two points in a game that they should have won which was against Bologna. It was even a home game for Juventus but still there was nothing to do for them. If they didn't concede a goal first, maybe things would have been much different for them. But Bologna got a good advantage there and did a great job about getting at least one point in this game. Vlahovic saved one point for his team at least but I'm pretty sure that they are not happy with this result at all. Maybe they would have kept their chance for the league championship but it is too difficult now.

Well, they played in 9 for about 10 minutes, and half of them were wasted by Bologna with fakes injuries...

About the scudetto yes, they already lost the opportunity after what happened with Inter the past week.

First Juventus and now Lazio playing at home against relatively weak teams and losing points is not good start of this week for top teams and specially for these both which are looking for some better spots for having good position for going into UEFA in next season now Lazio is going to face leader AC Milan next week at home which is surely going to be tough for them and give them some more setback in case of lost because Atlanta and Florentina both looking for better results and bring them down for higher ranks and their chances for European competitions.

Immobile higher scorer in Italian League give them one precious point in injury time but still It's not enough for them, they need to do some more effort for having better results.

[Slow death]

this season juventus was a team that just became a big joke, they were already almost reaching the relegation teams, then they managed to recover and even I had expectations that they could go far, but strange that in the last games they are disappointing, and in this game against bologna it was regrettable, juventus was losing and only managed to score 1 goal thanks to the misfortune that bologna had to be reduced players. juventus has become a joke. That way they won't get far in the next season, they need to do something to change this scenario

[Sirait]

inter won against spezia and milan won against genoa but currently the two points are only 2 points apart, and the good news is that inter has only run 32 matches while milan has 33 matches. If everything goes well I'm sure Inter will win this Serie A season.

[KTChampions]

~Today's match Juventus - Bologna is quite interesting, it will be difficult for Juventus to overcome the defense of the guests, maybe Juventus will lose points today.

As a result, the match ended in a draw, and this is a huge success for Juventus. Now we can officially say that Juventus has dropped out of the championship race and it faces an equally important task - to maintain fourth place. If Roma bury Napoli's title ambitions tomorrow, then it will be only 3 points behind Juventus.
