Juventus is still not in trouble. Since they lost the title race, their main priority is to qualify for the Champions League and start over next season. For the sake of their own confidence and satisfaction, this downtrend is still not really justifiable as they do have a strong enough team to seriously compete for the 2nd position. But whatever their problem is at the moment, there is no reason yet to become nervous and Bologna isn't really their problem.

Nonetheless, there are still eight games to go and they still have to play against their main competitors, namely Roma, AC Milan and Bologna. The other opponents aren't weak either, so there is also no reason to lean back and think that the season is over.

It's about prestige, too. Money of course as well as the finishing position means some income for them. I am curious how their new squad for the next season will be set up.
Juventus must be able to create a turning point in performance in the remaining matches ahead, and must not lose any more points if they have the ambition to finish in the runnerup position in the Serie A standings. The competition with Bologna is still considered safe thanks to a difference of 5 points, but Allegri should remain alert and try. overtaking Milan position again. To secure tickets to the Champions League, I think Juventus will be able to do it.

On the other hand, Juventus does have a number of tough matches ahead, the closest is facing Lazio in week 30. Allegri must continue to motivate his players to perform like they did in the first half of the season, although this is not an easy job. There is no other way if they have the ambition to play in the Champions League next season, and become Scudetto contenders again if they fail to achieve their target of finishing in second place in the standings.

Obviously finishing in the runnerup position gives Juventus a bigger bonus, so it can be used to build a better squad in the next transfer window. However, everything will be different if Allegri is no longer the head coach, because previously it was reported that Allegri would part ways with Juventus next season, and a number of names that had been linked would automatically change again.
