Throughout this second half of the season, Genoa has faced numerous challenges to achieve good results. They are a few points behind the top half of the standings but cannot find a way to win back-to-back games.
With a record of 9 wins, 12 draws, and 11 losses, Genoa is now in twelfth place in the standings. Although the team has not played particularly well offensively, its defense has done a good job of preventing opponents from scoring goals.
Every win and every point counts towards Il Grifone’s goal of finishing as high as possible in the standings, as they are now 4 points behind Monza in 11th place and 10 points behind Lazio in seventh. Genoa’s most recent match ended in a 1-1 draw with Fiorentina.
In contrast, Lazio has experienced a series of bad runs this season. However, they are still in contention for the European places, so the battle will be extremely close until the end of the season.
With a record of 15 wins, 4 draws, and 13 defeats, the Roman team is in seventh place overall in Italian soccer. They trail Atalanta by only two points in the Conference League standings. However, It is worth mentioning that Lazio comes into this match day 33 with the confidence of having won three of their previous five matches.
Lazio defeated Salernitana 4-1 in their most recent match. Felipe Anderson dressed as the hero, scoring two of the team’s four goals and being instrumental in every attacking play.
For this match, our winner’s chip goes to Lazio.

Cagliari desperately needs to win games in the final phase of the season to move off the bottom of the standings and secure their place in Serie A. Although they have a slim four-point lead, increasing that advantage would give them peace of mind in the remaining games.
Gli Isolani currently sits 14th in the standings with a record of seven wins, ten draws, and 15 losses. Their goal difference is worrying, with 34 goals scored and 54 conceded. However, they still have a chance to fight for survival in the coming matches.
On a positive note, Cagliari has performed well in recent weeks, securing two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five matches. Their most recent game against Inter ended in a commendable 2-2 draw at San Siro.
On the other hand, Juventus spent most of the season at second place and competing with Inter for the leadership. Unfortunately, the team’s performance declined in the second half of the season, leaving them with no chance of competing for the Scudetto and even losing the runner-up place.
Currently, the Vecchia Signora is in third place in the Serie A, with 18 wins, nine draws, and five losses. They have scored 45 goals and conceded 24, showing a solid defense that effectively thwarts most attacks. However, their offense can be inconsistent at times.
Despite this, Juventus is aware that securing a place in next season’s Champions League will be a challenge. Heading into matchday 33, Juve have only managed one win in their last five games, with three draws and one loss. In their last match, they played to a goalless draw against Torino in the Turin Derby.
Para este partido, nuestra predicción es un empate.

Roma has undergone a significant transformation since the first half of the season. They are currently in the thick of the battle for European places and, against all odds, have the opportunity to secure a top-four finish during the final stretch of the season. However, they will need to beat tough opponents, Bologna being one of them.
La Lupa is currently fifth in the overall standings with a record of 16 wins, seven draws, and eight defeats. They have scored 56 goals and conceded 35. They have shown exceptional defensive solidity recently, conceding just three goals in their last eight games.
In their most recent match, Roma suffered a harsh situation in their match against Udinese as their defender, Evan Ndicka, collapsed, causing the game to be suspended (it was 1-1 at the moment). This duel was in between their Europa League series with Milan, which they won with a 3-1 aggregate score.
Meanwhile, Bologna has been one of the surprises of the European season. The team has shown an impressive level of play, currently placing them in the top four in the standings.
I Rossoblù is currently fourth in the table with 16 wins, 11 draws, and five defeats. They have scored 45 goals and conceded 25. While their goal stats are a little below average for the top of the table, their defense has performed admirably, conceding the third-fewest goals in Serie A.
Bologna comes into this match after back-to-back draws. The first was against Frosinone, and their last game ended in a goalless draw against Monza.
We expect an excellent and balanced match with a tight score. As a result, our prediction is a 1-1 draw.

AC Milan faces this matchday hoping to maintain the second place after overtaking Juve. However, they have no chance of fighting for the title.
They have an impressive record of 21 wins, six draws, and five defeats and have scored 63 goals while conceding 37. They must win as many games as possible towards the end of the season, including this match against Inter. However, their performance has been poor against their local rivals in Pioli’s spell as coach, to say the least.
Milan comes into this match after four wins and one draw in their last five games, demonstrating their position as one of Serie A’s best. However, they last tied 3-3 against Sassuolo, and in the Europa League, they were completely dominated by Roma in two legs.
Inter Milan remains the standout team of the 2023/24 Italian Serie A season, with a formidable 14-point lead over Milan at the top. They put the title on the rails after beating Juve some months ago, so more than a miracle is needed to take them down. Notably, a win here would crown them champions, as they would amass a 17-point advantage with just 15 units left in play.
Inter’s current achievements are remarkable, with 26 wins, five draws, and only one defeat in 32 games. In addition, their goal difference of +60 stands out, courtesy of 77 goals scored and only 17 conceded, demonstrating their exceptional balance in both attack and defense.
As anticipated, the Nerazzurri approach this matchday with an impressive unbeaten run in Serie A, with three wins and two draws in their last five matches. However, their most recent game ended in a 2-2 draw against Cagliari, a team battling to evade relegation.
For this match, our prediction is a 3-1 win for Inter.
