About Israel Adesanya and injury. In post fight interviews Israel say that he was injured during the fight. Specifically - leg injury, probably something with joints or nerve issue. Adesanya says, that he wasnt injured before, and did not understand how to act. So he decided to get back to fence and survive or hide legs from low kicks. That can be true, that can be not, but the result of their fight is known.

Dustin Poirier isnt happy that Chandler cleaned his nose on him (https://www.tiktok.com/@talesoftheoctagon/video/7166020655853341957?is_from_webapp=v1&item_id=7166020655853341957) and put finger into Poiriers mouth during choke attempt (https://twitter.com/FTBeard7/status/1591652263520792577).

Your thought about that guys?
That guy was bleeding from his nose. And I really do not think that this should be made into such a huge deal that it is being made right now. There was blood all over the place. So if he wants to say that his opponent shouldn’t have put a little more blood on him, even though there was blood already on both fighters' bodies, I think it is just absolutely dumb.

And I am also quite sure that Israel Adesanya got injured during the fight. I think there is a high probability that he got injured trying to kick his opponent.


For Lewis and Spivak definitely, Lewis will have a hard time against Spivak for sure, when against a bulldozer its weakness will be the technical approach of Spivak for sure,
Khamzat Chimaev VS Colby Covington is really going to happen what I like is a Khamzat Chimaev VS Alex Pereira fight Chimaev is constantly making a statement that he wants to fight whoever is available at the moment,
Yeah, I very much doubt Lewis is going to show a different side to himself this late on in their career. He's a good knockout artist, and I personally believe he's beaten fighters better than Spivak.

As for Chimaev, and Colby I don't really have any interest in any of them. I know that might seem odd to say since Chimaev did look the real deal against Burns, despite being tested. I just can't seem to back him in any of the fights, and his personality doesn't really help him either. He's a bit like Mayweather, you watch him because you want to see him lose. I think a Burns rematch, and he loses, but that's just me.
Khamzat Chimaev is probably not going to lose because he is going to be ready for the rematch against Barnes. And the thing is, he is getting really cocky nowadays. I hope that is not going to affect his fighting career or style in any way. And I don’t think there is anything wrong with having a character like him, especially in the fight business. He is a badass and in the fight business that can be used to intimidate people. I know a lot of people are tempted to argue with me, but I actually like his careless approach. As long as he is reckless in the octagon and delivers results, I am okay with it.

I disagree with this point haha; I think Simeone is the main problem of the Atletico side; the clubside has signed countless of top attackers and none of them is able to perform under Simeone as manager. his model of football is outdated and he needs to change his approach or be changed if Atletico Madrid wants to challenge again
Especially this season 22/23 Atletico Madrid have not been very active in the transfer market, Diego Simeone is still taking advantage of the strikers options available with several additions such as Alvaro Morata. So far, Atletico Madrid's performance has been far from what was expected, they have continued to experience unsatisfactory results in recent weeks, this has left Atletico Madrid increasingly far behind their rivals such as Barcelona and Real Madrid.

After the 2020-21 title win, we thought Atletico Madrid might continue their run of form, and challenge for the title. But we have not seen that. Their performance has deteriorated day by day. Several of their team's weaknesses have been well observed this season. Atlético management should have spent some money to add the required talented players to the team. But the Atletico Madrid management is not interested in spending money. Their performance this season has been very poor. They are now 13 points behind Barcelona. Atletico Madrid will not return to its glory days without an experienced striker.
2003  Other / Off-topic / Re: Lay off vs Pay cut on: November 17, 2022, 04:46:37 AM
If I were an employee I would of course choose to take a pay cut rather than quit but for the company a layoff is so much better than a pay cut. If you take a pay cut, you won't be able to save by layoffs because there are so many other day-to-day expenses that the company has to pay, not just the employee's wages, like energy costs, meals, insurance... a lot of things.

Sure, layoffs are undesirable in any company, but given the current situation, it's a must. Instead of firing a few people, continuing to hold out can lead to the bankruptcy of the entire company and have more serious consequences.
Salaries would be a huge enough cost that you might end up keeping the company safe if you could just let the people take a pay cut. However, during this period there is a huge inflation which means if you offer people a pay cut, even if they accept it then there is a big chance they would all be actively looking for other jobs that would pay better.
The only problem now is that all companies are going through the same crisis, I don't believe that people can find a job that pays better than the company they are working for. If possible, they wouldn't wait until they were laid off or had their pay cut to start looking for a new job.
We are in inflation and everyone wants to get a better job with higher salary but things will not be that simple.

Lay off is also not a solution because it means you would become a lot smaller and the result would not be that easy at all. I would highly suggest if people could just focus on making a lot less profit with just what they have, small profit or even taking a debt as a business could help you out in the long run.
As I said, businesses will choose to become smaller than the risk of bankruptcy if they don't cut staff. In this difficult situation, as the CEO of a business, they will prioritize finding ways to maintain the company before thinking of other benefits. Because when there is no company, there is no business, there is no benefit.
2004  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: November 16, 2022, 07:00:52 PM
I have read a very weird theory, that Alex Pereira was signed from kickboxing into UFC to add more excitement to middleweight. Because Adesanya has kicked everyones ass there, and fighting second or third time with his fighting style would ruin interest to that division. Any decent fighter that has wrestling skills would submit Pereira. He has done his mission - removed current king. Now it is Adesanyas time to regain belt back. Pereira would lost belt in next title defence, Adesanya would have 1-2 fights before he regain belt back.

If you go to ufc.com, you would notice VeChain banners everywhere. UFC is now VeChain official partner Smiley
Even though they brought in Alex Pereira to kick the ass of Israel Adesanya, it was very close that he was about to get his own ass kicked, lol. We all know that Israel Adesanya was ahead in terms of score. And if the error by Israel Adesanya did not happen, I feel the fight could very well have ended the other way. I think we are very likely to see a rematch very soon between these two fighters. And a lot of people might also say that it was an early stoppage but I think it was a very appropriate stoppage. Otherwise, Israel Adesanya might actually have a long-term injury.



Yeah, Alex Pereira is indeed a huge guy in his weight even during his kickboxing days. Israel Adesanya's advantage is his experience in MMA and as I predicted earlier, he cannot easily impose the ground game because it is obvious that Poatan is the bigger and the stronger fighter just like what happened when they fought twice in kickboxing.

Adesanya already cleared the division before but he also became boring in his fights. I think it started when he lost to Jan Błachowicz and he felt that he needs to play it safe for longevity. Dana White as a businessman has to do something of course. Although I do not think the UFC signed Pereira just because of Adesanya as its champ. Pereira is a 2 division champion in Glory and the UFC as the biggest MMA organization has been watching him for years. Pereira's contract probably expired and he seemed annoyed losing a controversial rematch to Artem Vakhitov.

Now Poatan has to deal with contenders that already lost to Adesanya. But he seemed beatable by Robert Whittaker. Khamzat Chimaev probably needs 1 or 2 fights in this division to get his shot. But I won't be surprised if Artem Vakhitov once free from any contracts will get signed by the UFC soon. Artem Vakhitov is a Russian though, dunno if the UFC is keen on signing another Russian unless the fight in Ukraine ends.
I think bringing in the Russian guy is likely to be beneficial for the UFC. Because bringing him in is almost certain to create controversy, and that will ultimately result in more pay-per-view. Since a lot of people are saying that they put in Alex Pereira to beat Israel Adesanya, it will be more interesting if they call in Vakhitov because people might say that he was brought in to beat Alex Pereira.

It's not former players or Rambo's problem but the Pakistani cricket system.
It gets very ugly there, almost everyone (former player, commentators, sports anchor, PCB's Chief) shitposts and makes cringe statements when the thing gets tough or see any kind of success.
I can understand when former players etc make any ridiculous comments about the team or anyone for that matter but as a cricket board chief, you should have some grace as you're holding a top seat. You don't hear or see such kind of behavior from other cricket board presidents.
Can't agree with you here. Akmal and some of the other ex-players reportedly made personal attacks against Rameez. The team reached finals in the world cup, and rather than celebrating it they are showering verbal abuse on the administrators. If it was someone like Wasim Akram or Shoiab Akhtar, then I would have still listened. But Kamran Akmal? What he has so far achieved in his career so far? Test batting average of 30.79 and 26.09 in ODI. Rameez maybe a bit strict here, but people like Kamran understand this language only.
You should listen to what Rambo has to say about the previous chiefs when he was not in the system. He as an expert ripped everyone apart (including opposition teams, calling em names etc), when the PCB hosted teams like Zim, WI,SL, BAN. Likes of Najam Sethi, Ehsan Mani didn't send him any legal notice for that.
I know that Pakistan did reach the finals. But no one can deny that they got a bit lucky. Because first of all, they shouldn’t have lost against Zimbabwe. Secondly, they got a chance when the Netherlands beat South Africa. Because that really shouldn’t have happened. So everything was hanging on a chance for Pakistan. And Pakistan themselves had to rely on two or three of the players to do all the work. Whenever Babar Azam, Rizwan, or Shaheen Shah Afridi failed to perform, Pakistan was in a lot of trouble.



Wasim bhai, Shoiab everyone was pissing on management and players when they lost the first 2 games.
Another thing that should be kept in mind is that a positive reaction and constructive criticism are always going to be able to help the players more than just talking shit about them. They are also ex-players and they should know that.

As long as Joel Embiid is healthy and plays like that, I'll see Philadelphia as a serious contender. He is doing incredible work and elevating his team. A few games later, Sixers will be back in the play-off spot. I haven't seen a team that stands out so much this season. Boston and Milwaukee are in similar level as Philly. In the Western Conference there is no team that stands out much. It looks a little more balanced there. I was expecting a fall in Golden State but what happened to Lakers? They fell off worse than I expected. LeBron should go to a better team to chase another championship.
Yes, as long as Embiid will still be playing healthy with the Sixers, they will be fine as their big man numerously proved that he can do almost all the work to bring the team to a win plus there's Maxey and Harden. They will remain a heavy team and a threat to the others.
About the Lakers, well, there's not much interesting for them as of now as they are just winning every after 5 consecutive defeats, but they sure do hope that their AD is as healthier as Embiid of Sixers and not an injury magnet. Aside from that, they are still struggling to be consistently in-synch and their defense is not that fine as well, they won't reach far if there's no improvement from them.
On your first note about Embiid, as long as he will stay healthy and the ole players of Sixers will adjust to how he wanted the game to be played, Sixers will continue to be a good contender in the eastside.

ANd moving with your Lakers opinion, we all witness what's going on with them now and
your statement is true, there's nothing for them if they will not improve both there
defense and offense.

Embiid absolutely carried his team in this game.

No, my problem is that as long as he plays like this, there is no problem for the Philadelphia 76ers. But what if he is not having a go today?

What if he’s not being able to perform at a certain game? Even the greatest players can have off days. So, I think yes, it is very good if he is healthy and performing well for the team. But he is not going to be able to carry the team every time. If something like that happens to him, then the team should come to his help.

The Lakers will obviously have to improve. I am aware that they won the last match they played. But does that mean they are progressing? I actually doubt it. I cannot say that they are improving unless they are bringing in consistent results, consistently successful results.

Things are not going to be easy for Arsenal, they still have some tough matches ahead of them, I think up to 24 games which is still a long way to go and a lot can happen in the next 24 games, they just have to stay focused and determined one game at a time. Arsenal still need to make additions to the squad to boost their strength and options in different positions.

Arsenal are performing well and have been at the top of the table for a long time, but still it is not easy for Arsenal to win the title. Arsenal is 5 points ahead of Manchester City. But half of the season is not over yet. There is still a long way to go to win the title. And if Arsenal are on the truck at full time and don't lose form then they can win the title. I bolo Newcastle or Tottenham also have a chance to win the title, if they can perform well and continue to perform well consistently. But it is very difficult. Because every team in Premier League is strong. It is very difficult to win every match consistently.
2008  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 16, 2022, 11:01:59 AM
Assuming Juventus will perform consistently well. And will win the next matches. But are we sure that Napoli will drop points? Napoli has lost only 4 points in 15 matches. And now they are 10 points ahead of Juventus.
Juventus has been increasing and developing their consistency to play very well currently. They have victories in 5 matches previously. I know that they really tried hard, after not qualifying at round 16 of UCL, they probably make some evaluations and the result is good enough. They may want to maximize the probability of getting a title in Serie A, But, will it be easy? As you said, this is very hard to do, moreover, it is because of Napoli's performance which is very outstanding this season. They are unbeaten so ar. You're right, there is  10 point difference between Napoli and Juventus. ALthough Juventus is right now in the third position, their point is quite far. And I am also not sure that Napoli will lose their chance easily to lose in the matches in rows.

I would say Juventus should aim now to do well in the Europa League and qualify for the Champions League. At the beginning of the season, Juventus team was weak. But now they are stable. Their defenders have been performing well, resulting in consistently excellent Juventus performances. If Napoli loses their dominance in Serie A, maybe Milan or Juventus will win the title. But it doesn't look like Napoli will lose form. And so I would say Juventus should now try to win the Europa League title. This is also respectable enough.
2009  Economy / Exchanges / Re: What is now the difference with Ponzi platforms with cryptocurrency exchanges on: November 16, 2022, 09:37:26 AM
Since actions like this persists, then cryptocurrency exchanges should be regulated. They should be a certain amount, just like banks, on reserve before an exchange gets established, so if they go bankrupt the funds can be used to settle affected customers. The differences between a Ponzi site and exchange is the eligibility to swap currencies on exchanges and Ponzi sites don't come out plain to tell customers that their money is gone, they disappear.

What you are referring to is what binance has been doing, binance is the only exchange that has Safu. But that also can't be sure if binance collapses all the victims will be compensated, I don't believe it will be that simple.

In my opinion, there is no perfect solution in this case, the best way is to limit their use. Absolutely do not trust any exchange even if it is a decentralized exchange, it is not as secure as many people think. Always withdraw all your funds at the end of the day after the end of the trade and never leave too much money on any exchange.

Let's suppose your boss called you into his/her office and explained the company's situation. He/she then gives you the option of getting laid off or taking a 50% pay cut. If you were to choose one of these options, what would it be and why?
A pay cut would be beneficial both to the company and the employee. The company has spent a lot of money investing in the worker through training and other developmental programs. Sacking the worker would make them loose the worker and the money they have spent on the staff. Laying off also affects the goodwill and reputation of the company negatively. It gives the public the notion that the company is not well managed or might soon go bankrupt. Investors are also skeptical to invest in a firm that is sacking its staff. 

The worker can manage the pay cut until he gets a new job. It is even possible to cut ones expenses and still survive on a half salary. But an outright sack would totally destabilize the worker and his dependents. It could even lead to poverty, health issues or even death.
To your question OP;I would gladly choose a pay cut  Grin.

If I were an employee I would of course choose to take a pay cut rather than quit but for the company a layoff is so much better than a pay cut. If you take a pay cut, you won't be able to save by layoffs because there are so many other day-to-day expenses that the company has to pay, not just the employee's wages, like energy costs, meals, insurance... a lot of things.

Sure, layoffs are undesirable in any company, but given the current situation, it's a must. Instead of firing a few people, continuing to hold out can lead to the bankruptcy of the entire company and have more serious consequences.

Newcastle are an amazing team this season for certain. Especially their recent winning streak has carried them to the third position in the standings. They totally deserve to be ahead of Tottenham as well because of beating them 2-1 away before. I'm really excited about their future performances.
Because if they can become this much successful with an average level of squad now then I wonder what they can do with a squad full of very talented players. It is very important for them to qualify for the Champions League by finishing the season in top 4 now. Maybe it isn't easy but they have the strength for it.
For me of these two clubs Tottenham are still the best and when it's proven that they managed to get a win in the previous five games in a row, the Champions League will be very easy for them to get and maybe they will get a lot of wins against other big clubs. Even though the distance between the points with the first position is quite far up to 8 points, at least Tottenham still has the potential to win the first position.

It is not possible to predict which four teams will qualify for the Champions League so quickly. Because there are many teams in the Premier League that are very strong and have the ability to qualify for the Champions League. And I would say the top 8 teams in the table have a chance to qualify for the Champions League. However, Arsenal and Manchester City will keep the first two places in the table. The main battle in the Premier League will be for third and fourth place in the table. That's how we feel. However, the points gap between the teams is very slim.

Juventus more of shine with 6 wins streak in Serie A, but I didn't expect Lazio to lose without scoring in this match Juventus vs Lazio, the top 4 positions are very competitive Milan Juventus Lazio and Inter are very close.
the italian league this season is very interesting, the two cities milan and juventus no longer dominate, and when asroma and lazio start to rise plus atalanta which is always surprising, this indicates the italian league is getting more competitive, maybe it's time for Napoli's glory to return like in 88 and 89, and not unbeaten until Week 15 and 10 points clear of second in the standings has everyone believing this year will be the year Napoli win the league
Indeed Serie A very interesting, even every season. Napoli are very consistent to not losing of points this season, yes we believe this year is year for Napoli, but after the world cup is finished, will Napoli performance very well and continue to earn points? IMO maybe we will be served another surprise later.
well they recovered the injured players, a return to this style was obvious
then clearly it will be difficult to be able to win the championship, but this season juventus must only hope to reach the champions league
We'll see next time, there's time to plan
I told you, it didn't make sense to send Allegri away
I would say it is impossible for Juventus to win the Serie A title. Juventus are undoubtedly playing well. And they are consistently winning. But winning the title is not possible for them. While Juventus are only 2 points behind second-placed Milan in the table, they are 10 points clear of leaders Napoli. If Napoli lose form badly after the World Cup, maybe Juventus or Milan can dream of winning the title. Otherwise we will only see Napoli dominate till the end of this season. And in the end Napoli will win the title.
Isn't it too early to say it's impossible, there are still 23 match left and the difference between Juventus to Napoli is also not too far, only 10 points. So anything can happen after the world cup is over, Juventus which previously in eighth place, now in third place. This club still dominates in Serie A. It is possible that they will win the Squdetto.
Going back to previous season Napoli can eliminated by Milan, to be honest we don't expect the same thing this repeat again.

Assuming Juventus will perform consistently well. And will win the next matches. But are we sure that Napoli will drop points? Napoli has lost only 4 points in 15 matches. And now they are 10 points ahead of Juventus. To close the gap of 10 points, Napoli will have to drop points in 5 matches. And as Napoli is performing consistently well now, it doesn't look like they will drop points in 5 matches. Moreover, AC Milan is ahead of Juventus in the title race. So I think Juventus has no chance of winning the title.

There was a really bad terrorist attack in Türkiye. It is very normal for the match to be postponed, as such an event took place so close to the stadium just before the Beşiktaş match. Fun events in many parts of the country for a few days may also be cancelled. Of course, the negativities experienced because the match was postponed are also very sad

This is very sad. And if I'm not mistaken the terrorist attack happened in Istanbul. And it killed 6 people and injured about 81 people. And that's what's sad about Turkey. At the same time, I think they will suffer a lot as a result. Because Turkey earns a lot of money from tourists every year. And when Turkey's tourism was slowly getting back to normal after the coronavirus, one such attack happened in Istanbul. And as a result, Turkey will again lose a lot of visitors.

I was surprised that Fenerbahçe lost in this match. They were playing with a very high performance and did not lose points, they lost 3 points to one of the not very strong teams in the league. After seeing a red card, the team's job became more difficult and towards the end of the match, they conceded 2 goals at once.
Galatasaray, on the other hand, scored as many goals as it had not scored in such a long time and passed its opponent without any difficulty. It's not unusual for them to score 7 goals
Fenerbahçe actually gained winner mentality in later weeks because of their great manager. But looks like he couldn't help his team turn score upside down. Its strange sight to see with a manager who gained lot of love. I still think Jorge Jesus is great manager but if he can't keep up with his passing style all other teams will start to solve Fenerbahçe's strategy. Especially stronger teams can mess them so easily.

Its performance at Fenerbahçe this season has surprised everyone. Fenerbahçe's players have continued to perform consistently well. Had they not lost their last match, they would have been 5 points ahead of second-placed Galatasaray. But unfortunately, they lost in the last match. However, Fenerbahçe's coach is quite experienced. He knows his team's weaknesses very well. Hopefully he will be able to continue the team's performance. And after the World Cup, its performance at Fenerbahçe will only accelerate.

I agree, the league is more interesting than it has been for a long time. Who would have thought that Feyenoord would go into the winter break at the top of the table? I hope it stays like that next year and how PSV and Ajax will strengthen in the winter?
It's an excellent season. In fact, it was not enjoyable to watch an Eredivisie where Ajax won the championship every year. I can say the same for the Bundesliga and League 1. Feyenoord needs to maintain this position. They are currently beating Excelsior 5-1 in the ongoing match. This is a truly excellent score. Will the performance that will surpass Ajax be in other matches?

Feyenoord has taken the top spot in the Eredivisie league for the first time, overtaking Ajax and PSV. Feyenoord is 3 points ahead of Ajax and PSV. And this season's title race has become more crowded. Over the past few seasons, we have seen Ajax and PSV battle it out for the title, with Ajax coming out on top at the end of the season. And Ajax's dominance is visible every season. But this season Ajax has been a bit behind. And Feyenoord has used this brilliance quite well. They have been performing consistently well and now occupy the top spot in the table. Feyenoord can win the title if they can maintain this consistency.

Under the current situation, many companies are facing bankruptcy or layoffs at any time, and we do not know what we will face tomorrow.
Do we need to switch our jobs to online jobs or a full-time investment in cryptocurrency?
Under the current situation, "full-time investment job" seems incredibly risky, and its not something that you can do without having big amount of money. Or by that you meant trading, but for you to turn that into a full time job you need to be an excellent trader, and you can become that only after years of hard work, learning and a lot of money lost in the process.
Right now, that does look like it would be quite difficult to handle, and I know that investment sounds like something you would do and calculate short periods of time, because you would need money to live, but that doesn't have to be the case if you reach to a high amount.

For example, if you have about 200k give or take to put on staking, that means you could make a living out of that alone, then whatever else you do would be just extra long term investment for the future profits, not to withdraw, but to grow net worth. This means it is only about the size of the fund we are talking about, anyone above 200k could make a living out of this and when the bull run comes there will be plenty of people who will have 200k+ dollars.

If 200k$ is all your assets and you decide to put it on a centralized exchange then I think you are taking the riskiest route and its a crazy idea.
Cryptocurrency investing is inherently risky and becomes even more risky when you put your money in a centralized platform for staking, even if it is binance there is no 100% guarantee for you.
I understand your idea is great, you are talking about creating a passive income stream, but it is not quite right to put all our money in crypto. Never put all your eggs in one basket.

the possibility will always be there. but I hope all exchanges learn a lesson from the FTX case. and it looks like some Exchanges have started to take steps so that they don't suffer the same fate as FTX. and it looks like every exchange will start to be more open. some have even implemented Proof of Reserve (POR). but still people's trust in CEX is getting a little less. so DEX will again be an option. I have also secured my assets from several CEXs to my personal wallet. because we don't know which other CEX will have the same fate as FTX. if only Proof of Reserve (POR) was implemented earlier by all CEXs. so I think an incident like the one that happened to the FTX can be avoided.

Yes, anything is possible, but with what binance is doing, I believe they won't go bankrupt anytime soon. Especially proof of reserve, they're POR proponents so I think they've prepared well in advance. Sooner or later the rest of the exchanges will have to publish assets like binance, if any of them can't, they are having the same problem as FTX. Binance does all of this to strengthen and enhance its position.

There are some rumors about houbi, it is best in a sensitive time of the market, we should withdraw all assets to a hardware wallet or non-custodial wallet.

What a disappointing result for Pep today, I'm sure he will be furious with his team's performance today, losing all three points to  Brentford at home and ending a long home unbeaten run. What a sad way to go into the international break this time, I'm sure they had hoped to go into the break leading Arsenal. Brentford were superb defensively and that gave them the edge over City's attack. I am eager to see if Arsenal can win against wolves to increase their lead to 5 points clear off Manchester City.

As Manchester City are fighting for the title, every point is very important for them. An unexpected defeat in this match saw them drop a few steps back in the title race. If Arsenal wins their next match, they will go 5 points ahead of Manchester City. And with Arsenal playing consistently well, it will be more difficult for City to close the gap.

Chelsea continued their poor performance. They also lost 1-0 against Newcastle in today's match. They have lost their last three matches. And in the last 5 matches, they have achieved only 2 points. On the other hand, Newcastle is now only 2 points behind Manchester City.

Will it be Udinese to stop Napoli's unbeaten streak in an away game? I assume not.

Udinese started the season very well but they are just terrible now. They can't get even a win for six weeks in the league. Their form has dropped too sharply all of a sudden. They don't even have a good head-to-head history against Napoli. They can beat Napoli for six years and since then they have lost nearly all of their games. I think Napoli won't have big problems on winning this game and moving on. It looks like there is still time for them to get their first loss.

I forget the last time Napoli dropped points in a game. Napoli is consistently playing well. And the dominance of Napoli players in every match is quite visible. Napoli's attacking performance is excellent. They managed to score 34 goals in 14 matches. But Udinese's defense is strong enough. Although Udinese are not in good form, they will try their best to get points against Napoli. If Napoli's attack can continue to perform like it has in previous matches, then Napoli should have no problem winning against Udinese.
