Serie A Top 4 Race: Lazio Stumbles, Juventus Holds Strong, Bologna Climbs

Lazio’s draw against Udinese at the Stadio Olimpico was a missed opportunity to overtake Juventus for the fourth spot in Serie A. Juventus, despite suffering a heavy 0-4 defeat to Atalanta at home, managed to limit the damage in the league standings.

Bookmakers still consider Juventus the favorites for a Champions League spot, with their odds at 1.50, slightly higher than last week’s 1.37. Lazio’s odds improved slightly from 2.85 to 2.50.

Bologna is making a strong push for the top four, now just two points behind fourth place. After winning four of their last five matches, Bologna’s odds for a Champions League spot have significantly decreased from 15 to 8 in just one week.

Roma remains at 20 in the odds, despite their impressive run of five consecutive league wins and twelve games unbeaten. They are currently six points behind the fourth Champions League spot.

AC Milan returned to winning ways against Lecce after three defeats, but bookmakers are not convinced, placing their odds for a top-four finish at 25. Fiorentina seems to be out of the race, with their odds plummeting to 40 after a 2-1 loss to Napoli, their fourth defeat in the last five matches.
