I don't if it's just me or not, but Juventus never really looked like serious contenders to me. Milan were always favorites and they are hitting form at the best time possible.
Juve were out in front the whole season and beat Milan a couple of times in various competitions so its only recently that the situations changed. But 7 draws out of 8 games for Juve is awful, even if they're still unbeaten.
Juve were definitely strong contenders at least for the first half of the season and in the Juve- Milan matches; Juve looked the far better team. Juve don't have the class of players Milan have, and so have naturally declined. Still a huge improvement on 7th place.
it looks like milan will retain their crown this year. but it totally sucks for juve even if going though this season unbeaten. still, massive big improvement by them this year.
1. AC Milan
2. Juve
3. Lazio
4. Napoli

Who do you guys think will reach the top 3 and take the last CL spot - Napoli, Lazio, Udine, Roma or Inter? Napoli and Inter being still in the EU competitions will play its role soon or later with fatigue and injuries. And who do you think from these 4 will not make it even in Liga Europa?
i would like to see napoli in the UCL again. not sure of Inter, but its a rough season for them too. maybe UEL football for inter next year, but it can change
Udine and Napoli made a thriller in which Cavani even missed a penalty. Final score 2-2.
Lazio lost to Montela. The young coach shows some promising game understanding.
Roma just won over Genoa with 1-0. The talent of Roma overcame the experience of Genoa.
Other than that - Bologna and Chievo made a spectacle; Milan took an away game from Parma and Juventus destroyed Fierentina with 5-0 as visitors.
It was a very interesting weekend in Italy and the fight for the last UCL spot and UEL spots became even more interesting. I am expecting Milan to drop form soon, because of their matches with Barca and the fight for the Seria A championship to be restarted.

Anyway 2 big derbies coming up this weekend - Milan vs Roma and Juve vs Inter. Any predictions from you guys?
Milan vs Roma, as a big Roma fan I do believe that we have a chance having in mind that our attacking players and Osvaldo especially is back in the line and that Kjaer is finally stable. We just need Pjanic back to have a very stable team to go against Milan. In the same time Milan have lots of injuries and their reserves were not very impressive against Juventus at the semi-final for the Cup. They will also try to keep their first team players fit for their CL match against Barca.
Juve and Inter are going to make a big game. A very important match for the team from Torino. If they do not win they will basically lose any chance to win the Seria A. Inter in the other hand is in the same position but for the last spot for the CL.
Other interesting matches:
Palermo gets Udine. Another huge match which is hard to be predicted. The game can go both ways, but I am giving my money on Udine who played very well in their last game against Napoli.
Napoli vs Cagliari! Montela's team is playing fairly well lately and they might surprise Napoli, who had a cup match and their players might not be very fit.
Lazio gets Catania. It should be an easy one for Lazio, but Klose got injured and it will be interesting how Lazio will deal without him. Hopefully they will not be able to!

Juve to beat Inter: Inter to sack Ranieri sooner than later.
Roma look good this season, but Milan are unstoppable.
Agree with you on all the other points
Di Natalie to score.
