Juventus team failed to win for the fourth consecutive time, bologna is a tough team and their standing prove it so i don't think this was a big upset, juve are still on the third spot and thanks to inter they are only one point away from lazio so i think this was a beneficial round for them.

To be honest, Juventus was under perform during the match against bologna. It seemed to be that if bologna was playing even better compared with juventus. The goal for bologna was coming from the penaly that can be successfully executed by orsolini while juventus was making the result to get draw when the game was touching 60 minutes. I can't even believe that if juventus performs so bad like this. Bologna seems a bit superior compared with juventus. The match is pretty boring.
Juventus was so lucky to have a goal being made by arkadiusz millik. I must admit that if bologna is pretty much the same like ac milan. This team is really strong at this moment

It looks like Lazio will also not last long in second place in the Serie A standings this season because of the several matches that will come next for Lazio, they (Lazio) must be able to win more if they want to stay in the runner-up position. Because this week Lazio will face two teams with very different strengths in a very short time, so they (Lazio) must be able to take full points in these two matches. Although I'm not sure that Lazio can win easily at home to AC Milan this weekend.

juventus in the last 5 matches only won 1, drew 1 and lost 3. Facing Bologna yesterday, I saw that the Juventus squad looked difficult (match statistics showed ball possession between Juventus and Bologna was balanced) even Bologna almost scored more goals. because lazio failed to win against inter, currently lazio and juventus are only 1 point apart.

This match was very exciting because Juventus had tried hard to win but unfortunately could not get an additional score when Bologna implemented a full defense because Bologna realized that Juventus were a strong opponent, so they also had to exert all their strength to defend so that the score remained even. At least Juventus did not lose to Bologna and has put in a lot of effort.

Juventus faces difficulty in beating bologna. Bologna was a very underrated team. I have seen that so many times this team was able to play draw against the big team in serie a. I consider bologna as a middle tier team now. The match against juventus told us about how strong bologna's defensive line is.
Juventus must accept to lose three points against bologna. I could not even predict it if how bologna was able to forcing juventus to get 1 point. What a game from bologna. I would like to give a lot of applauses for the bologna defenders.
Getting draw against a big team in serie a is a great achievement for bologna. I guess many people wrongly predicting the output from this match. Im not picking in the match of juventus vs bologna as it's hard to determine the result.
Juventus's attacking line was not doing so well during the match.
Bologna was able to be equal as juventus caused by it has 5

A result that was not expected at all from Juventus who continued to receive unsatisfactory results in the last 4 matches. Apart from them failing to get full points, this result also made them fail to shift Lazio, who at the same time they also received defeat this week. This result is beneficial for Inter Milan, who are close to gaining points from these two teams. Juventus must be able to evaluate their game, otherwise they will continue to get results they don't want every week.

unexpectedly the Juventus vs Bologna match had to end in a draw. I bet on Juventus and had to accept defeat. the match was quite a draw, even though the hosts were unexpectedly able to offset the game from Juventus.
Juventus should have been superior because of the penalty that was also given. but it failed to complete due to a good performance by the Bologna keeper. luckily Arkadiusz Milik made up for his mistake and scored a goal so the match ended in a draw. Juventus are still helped in a safe position at this time.

Juventus didn't take advantage of the opportunity, even though Allegri had said he would not let Inter Milan enter the Champions League zone this season, but this match the Juventus players wasted points. I think Juventus need to find a sharp centre-forward and a midfielder with a lot of skill and agile wings, only Di Maria has to defend. With the draw in the match against Bologna, Juventus has made the competition in the UCL zone even hotter and tougher. The difference between the second and seventh ranks is only 6 points.

Obviously this is not a good result for Juventus, it's really sad to see those who are far from expectations to be able to win the remaining matches in Serie A this season. Maybe if they lost to Lazio and Napoli it would still be acceptable, but they sometimes lose to much weaker teams like Sassuolo and most recently they drew against Bologna. Luckily for Juventus, they didn't lose against Bologna because Bologna did look much better.

The return of Juventus to 3rd place in the standings also does not make the players enthusiastic about being able to win matches in every match. Next week Juventus will face Lecce and if in that match they still can't get an additional 3 points then the chances of Inter, Milan and Roma will be closer to Juventus.

I think almost every line of Juventus players played badly because their game was not well organized.
it's been 4 consecutive matches Juventus have failed to win the match, it's a very unfortunate thing when they have benefited from the elimination of penalty points but at this time they are slumped.
Currently, these 6 teams still have a big chance to enter the top 4 of the Serie A standings and even I think the chances for Juventus to be able to stay in the top 4 are very small because their performance is very bad compared to AC MIlan, Inter Milan and AS Roma.

After all the challenges of Juventus which they couldn't get to the top and now they are lucky to be in third position but it seems they will lose the position to Milan or Inter because this two clubs are trying harder to get more points.  If Juventus are not serious with their performance they may even lose top four position of the league.

Lukaku - Martinez.

Lukaku has become man of the match against lazio. Lukaku's performance was so amazing against lazio. Even though lukaku was not making even a single goal but lukaku is still able making two very accurate assist that can be executed easily by its team mates.
Intermilan is feeling so amazing with his performance. Since, so many people were offending him in the past due to the his bad performance with intermilan. Lukaku is slowly but surely showing how good he was in intermilan.
Intermilan's CEO was also feeling amazed with his performance against lazio. The chance for intermilan to make him permanent is coming again.
As long as lukaku will prove him even more and i think that inter will buy him again from chelsea.

Juventus' draw at home to Bologna made the competition from 2nd to 7th place even more fierce because they all still have the opportunity to change positions in each match if the results of their matches vary. I'm sure Juventus really want to secure their position in the UCL zone and so do AC Milan and AS Roma who will keep trying to be in the UCL zone this season because they also won't waste this golden opportunity. So the question is can Lazio survive in the UCL zone until the end of this season?

After recording just 1 win n the last 4 matches,  I knew that Suasuolo will not accept a defeat from Empoli so easily. I was surprised at their victory yesterday cuz the 3 points would have been ruined by Andrea Pinamonti by his silly display in the 74th minute if not for Gregoire Defrel and Bajrami's substitution remains the best substitution of the match, Sasuolo we're already losing. It was an exceptional combination between Beradie and Henrique who came in and turn the game around, bringing back victory to Sasuoloa with one man down.

Napoli dropped another point yesterday, everyone was looking out for Napoli to win that game, after scoring an early goal they failed to add to it and salanitana came back to draw the game, Napoli has been finding it difficult to get a result recently, the only luck they are having now is because they where topping the league with good point difference, if not they would have been in serious situation.

It was very interesting to see 2nd to 7th place, their points gap is so close that anything can happen in the rest of the game. Juventus has wasted the opportunity to improve its position to second place, the defeat suffered by Lazio was not able to be used by Juventus to get perfect points over Bologna, Juventus are still stuck in third place with one point difference from Lazio.

While Inter, Milan and Roma have all collected the same points, they are only three points behind Juventus. Atalanta who are in seventh place, are also still threatening, the number of points Atalanta has collected is only two points from Inter, Milan, Roma and five points from Juventus.
Milan, Roma and Atalanta still have a chance to finish the season in the European zone, anything can happen in the remaining 6 matches if Lazio, Juventus and Inter are unable to maintain their performance until the end of the season.

I believe, that luck will definitely help Napoli to win this Italian league title because they really deserved that first position, which many teams tried to improve their points to take the position from Napoli but they failed at the end. Napoli really performed well more than Salernitana, despite the match ended up draw 1-1 but Napoli fans celebrated their players for the performance and the early goal they scored to reduced the strength of Salernitana players. I believe, Napoli will maintain that good points till they get to final  battle to use their strength and energy to finish the tournament well to embrace the title and to make their coach happy.

Every player always has good and bad performances every season so I think it's okay with that, Lukaku has always been a reliable player for Inter Milan as well and can bring Inter Milan to the semi-finals in UCL no matter the people who insulted him in the past, just look at the many famous players and great doesn't always bring the club to be great too, it all depends on how the players are united in playing.

There are no great players without the support of cohesiveness in a solid team because it would be useless to play for yourself, but intermilan has been lucky to keep Lukaku until now and managed to bring victory again in the league for the second time after experiencing bad matches before in the league because of the focus on UCL. i hope they can qualify for UCL final beat milan.

Juventus threw up an opportunity to overtake Lazio in second position. After Lazio lost to Inter, I thought Juventus will seize the opportunity to go second by winning Bologna but they didn't.
I don't think Lazio and Juventus are in any danger of losing out of the champions league spot. The trouble is on Inter, Milan, Roma and Atlanta. None of these teams is consistent enough to own the 4th position.
There is strong competition between these teams this season. Four team will be fighting for one spot and its going to get more interesting in these remaining game weeks of the season.

Juventus is still facing Atalanta and Milan. Saying that they are out of the danger zone so to say might be a good bit too early. They are also concentrating on Sevilla and their performance has been more up and down than anything else in the Serie A. Inter probably has the toughest schedule from now on as they are facing Roma, Napoli and Atalanta and on top of that they need to keep some resources for the Champions League games. My best guess would be that anything can happen in the Serie A table between Atalanta and Juventus. I would say that Lazio has the easiest schedule with only Milan in their way, but even Lazio just started a losing streak. It could escalate for them as well.

Napoli's game against Salernitana was not as usual, Napoli only scored one goal in the 62nd minute, while Salernitana also managed to reply by scoring one goal, so the game ended in a draw.Salernitana should not be a difficult opponent to beat for Napoli it is possible that Napoli underestimated the strength of Salernitana so that Napoli did not get a win in this match.

[Velvet78]

Juventus continue to lose points constantly. They lost 11 points in their last 4 league games I mean. This is a serious situation considering that their 15-point deduction punishment can come back as the final decision. If they won all of these games they could have theoretically been right Roma by only 1 point. But now they can't even get close to a European tournament spot in that case.

Therefore it is very important for Juventus to win the Europa League title by shifting their full concentration to their next games against Sevilla. This would be an even tougher matchup than the one against Sporting surely.
