Bologna 1-1 Juventus, Serie A: Draw Not Pivotal To Bianconeri's Champions League Hopes, Says Igor Tudor

Igor Tudor remained upbeat about Juventus' chances of finishing in the Champions League places despite being held to a 1-1 draw against Bologna on Sunday. (More Football News)

Tudor watched on as Khephren Thuram's early strike was cancelled out by Remo Freuler's goal nine minutes after the restart at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. 

Indeed, Juventus have now drawn 15 league matches this season. Only in 1955-56 (17) and 1965-66 (16) have they managed more in the competition. 

The result keeps Juventus in fourth in Serie A, level on points with both Roma and Lazio, while seventh-placed Bologna are only a point off the pace. 

And with three games of their season left, Tudor acknowledged that the race to compete in Europe's elite competition next year was far from over. 

"There are three games left, and we are still fourth, albeit level on points. We go to Lazio with confidence, then there's Udinese and Venezia," Tudor told DAZN.

"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."

Juventus are given a 42.3% chance of finishing in the top four according to the Opta supercomputer, ahead of Lazio (20.5%), Roma (16.8%) and Bologna (13.8%).바카라 웹사이트
