Tudor Remains Confident in Juventus' Top-Four Chances

Juventus was held to a 1-1 draw by Bologna in Serie A, but coach Igor Tudor remains confident about his team's top-four chances.

Juventus manager Igor Tudor remains optimistic about his team's chances of finishing in the top four of Serie A, despite being held to a 1-1 draw at Bologna.

The draw leaves Juventus level on 63 points with Roma and Lazio, who occupy fifth and sixth place, while Bologna trails just one point behind in seventh. Tudor believes the battle for a Champions League spot is still firmly in Juventus' hands.

Bologna coach Thiago Motta's counterpart's sentiments weren't mentioned but coach Tudor emphasized that nothing is decided yet. “There are three games left and we are still fourth, albeit level on points,” he said.

“We go to Lazio with confidence, then there’s Udinese and Venezia,” Tudor added. “I said before kick-off that whatever the result, nothing will be decided tonight. I am saying the same against Lazio, one game cannot decide everything when there are so many teams crammed together in a few points.”

Despite dominating possession, Juventus was held to a 1-1 draw, with two goals ruled out for offside. Coach Igor Tudor believed the result was fair, saying, “The players gave their all... We created opportunities, but we are content with the point, all things considered.”

Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano shared Tudor's view, noting that there's still much to play for. “There are still nine points up for grabs and that’s an enormous amount at that level of the table,” he said, highlighting the competitiveness of the league's top tier.

The battle for the top spots in Serie A will be intense, with multiple head-to-head clashes still to be played. “It will be a real battle, there are many head-to-head clashes still to be played, so whoever has the most consistent mentality and intensity will reach their objective,” said Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano.

Bologna faces a busy end to the season, starting with an away match against AC Milan in Serie A, followed by a Coppa Italia final against the same opponents, and then fixtures against Fiorentina and Genoa. “Clearly, the first meeting with Milan is in Serie A, we must go there to pick up points. I think we’ll be very concentrated and it won’t distract us ahead of the Coppa Italia,” Italiano added.
