Toulouse, AC Ajaccio and Auxerre are clubs that have successfully moved up the ranks to the highest caste in France. However, of the 3 clubs, only Toulouse performed better than the other 2 clubs. Ajaccio and Auxerre are still trying to get out of the red zone they currently occupy. However, it will be a very tight competition at the bottom of the standings because 6 clubs only have one point difference from the position they occupy, even from the 3 clubs having the same number of points, namely by collecting 13 points. . I hope that from the three clubs promoted, they will not only pass, but they will provide real competition in the table.

But if we compare the three promoted teams, at least Toulouse was the best team last season in Ligue 2 because Toulouse won the Ligue 2 title last season. Whether it's a decent result or not, because every team that wins a title in the second tier of the league basically doesn't guarantee that they will be good when playing in the top tier of the league.
Because such cases also occur frequently in different leagues and countries, and it is still a decent result.

Because most promoted teams find it difficult to get good results or the expected results when playing in the highest caste of the league, but if one of them or maybe all of them can survive in the highest caste of the league for the next season then of course that is an achievement good for them.
But still, usually with time they will get degraded again and that's how it usually happens.

It's difficult challenge because on several occasions Barcelona's appearance is quite good, much better than last season. Several options for adding new players made at the start of this season seem to have quite an impact, even though in the end Barcelona had to return early in the Champions League competition. To add more new players in the upcoming transfer market, I think Barcelona needs to release some of its players to maintain team neutrality.

I personally still haven't seen any major changes made by Xavi with his new squad, because basically Xavi has also managed to make Barcelona rise last season but only for La Liga.
But unfortunately, this season, having many new squads has made the Barcelona squad again have a luxurious squad, but Xavi has still failed in the Champions League.
Because with this new squad, at least Xavi can bring Barcelona to qualify even if only for the last 16 of the Champions League.

Worse yet, if later Xavi still fails in the Europa League, then it is something that has no development in their performance.
I don't care who the opponent is, because at this moment Xavi has good players in every line, so Xavi should be able to maintain Barcelona's performance to stay good in La Liga and also in Europe.

What happened was that Ecuador was able to make a quick goal and in fact, Ecuador was able to win at half time with a score of 2-0. With a result like this I think it's just a rumor or whatever makes this event more interesting, because I'm sure in this era there are a lot of monitoring teams to be able to prevent bad things like this bribe from happening.
Unless this is a small event and not as big and lavish as the World Cup, then it's possible that a bribery case could occur. But yes indeed, there is no guarantee that it is 100% clean, at least there will always be opportunities to carry out dirty practices like that anywhere.

But for an event of this size I'm not really sure that there will be bribery practices that leak, but if at the end of the match Qatar can win the match then it's very possible that this will be a big question for me as well regarding the circulating bribery cases.
Because to be honest, losing 0-2 at half time is difficult for teams that are left behind to get up, even the big teams don't fully guarantee a comeback if they experience a result like that.

The coach is slightly responsible for Atletico Madrid's poor performance. But we cannot blame the coach entirely for their poor performance. Is Atletico Madrid's squad strong enough? I don't think so. Atletico Madrid's squad is relatively weak, and Atletico Madrid management is not interested in spending a lot of money to sign players. And so we can't blame only the Madrid coach for the poor performance of Atletico Madrid. And so I don't think Atletico Madrid will fire their coach.
Atletico Madrid this season not only has a bad coach but also a bad squad and bad management too. For some reason, this season Atletico Madrid is really bad in all positions. They have not only failed in round 16 of the Champions League but also seem to have failed in La Liga. This is bad, in fact, they often fail against small clubs. What a bad surprise. Atletico Madrid really needs a new coach capable of making significant changes, and maybe they should buy some good sharp players in the next transfer market.

Atletico Madrid's squad is weak. But they have a lot of talented players in their squad. Griezmann, Morata, Correa and De Paul are all talented enough. But none of the attacking players are in good form, and they are not playing well consistently. This is why their squad is weak. Atletico Madrid's main failing is that they can't find the players they need. They don't know exactly what their weaknesses are. And because of not knowing the weaknesses, they cannot find the right players for their squad. This is why their performance has been so poor this season.

Atletico still haven't failed completely because they are still in fifth place and Atletico still have a great chance of getting back into the top four, unless Atletico fall far behind as Sevilla is currently experiencing then it's an absolute failure. But if Atletico have only experienced losing by mediocre teams a few times and also, the fact is that Atletico still have a big chance to be able to return to the top four.
At least that is still a normal and reasonable result, because sometimes all teams also experience situations like this and the most important thing is not to fall too hard.

Also, if we consider the number of goals and conceded, the competition still looks very reasonable and Atletico doesn't look as bad as one might think.
The factor that looks bad is because Atletico were eliminated in the Champions League and also, that usually Atletico is the shadow of Real Madrid and Barcelona at this moment is no longer. But to be honest, if I consider their results so far, then it's still a result that is still in a good situation and doesn't have any big problems.

Manchester city and Arsenal have created quite a gap between them and other teams like Chelsea, Manchester united and Liverpool which at this point will be difficult to recover and it is unlikely that any of this teams will stop winning even after the world cup so in my opinion I think Liverpool are out of the title race already and should be focused on finishing at the top four spot at the end of the season to retain their Champions league spot.

The five-point gap between Arsenal and Manchester City is not a big gap, because once Arsenal loses and Manchester wins, the gap will close again. So, for me personally a five point gap is not a hard gap to chase, even if for example they have a 10 point gap to me they are still not completely safe.
Because after all, the English Premier League is a difficult league and that way, all the teams in the Premier League find it difficult to maintain their good performance for the whole season.

This competition will still be interesting and even though teams like Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea are outside the top four but at this moment there are other big teams who are starting to threaten the top position.
With Newcastle in the top four, the competition for the title and of course for the top four positions will be very interesting because of course there will be other big teams who will not get a European zone ticket next season.

Pogba is rumored to be ready for the 4th of January for the 1st game after the break of the World Cup.
Also Chiesa will be almost at his 100% for January.

Juventus will basically already signed 2 "new players" if nothing wrong happens in this month.
The old lady's have a very poor start this season in the Seria A, they lost enough points and inconsistent in their games. Juventus will come back in good shape after a long run with the absence of keyplayers in the team. Allegeri insearch for more backup players and the team will stand once again when Chiesa and Pogba will come back to Turin. The old lady's have suffer enough defeats this season with PSG humilating them in group stage and they found themselves in the europa league.

Yes, with Juventus being able to return to the top four it proves that Juventus are still doing well so far. Also, with key players returning to play in the main squad, of course, other teams in the title race must remain wary of a revived Juventus.
Indeed, at first I also doubted him because his performance was very chaotic, losing by a mediocre team who were even a promoted team.

But as time goes by, Juventus can still show their existence as a strong team in Serie A and still have a good chance in the title race.
Although indeed, this season will probably be a very different season because Juventus will play in the Europa League, but if the mentioned core players will return with fully recovered conditions. So of course Juventus will also have a very good chance in the Europa League, this is very interesting to look forward to.

Chelsea performance in this season made people to feel bad about the team because since they sacked Thomas tuchel from Chelsea made some of their potential players to lose focus in their position. The way this new Chelsea manager is benching some of their strikers that know how to achieve early goals that will bring victory at the end of the game, show that this new Chelsea manager cannot help the team to win this trophy.
.
People are acting like Chelsea wasn't horrible at the end of Thomas Tuchel era, I understand that we won the champion league with him but what happened a year later, Chelsea got totally humiliated by Real Madrid at their home and couldn't hold a lead we were having that could have taken us to the next stage of the competition and who knows maybe we would had been able to defend the title which is something no premier league side has been able to do. Chelsea picked up form immediately Potter was signed and we are still in the tournament.

Assuming Thomas Tuchel wasn't sacked we would had gone out of the competition by now. Thomas Tuchel was playing a not so interesting football that revolved around passing the ball at the back without having any upfront force to put the goal at the back of the opponent post. With Potter, we're trying to be a little direct and with time we shall perfect that playing strategy and start winning games.

Yes, let's look forward to positive changes for Chelsea because actually, in the first few matches for Potter they also praised Potter a lot. But just because, Chelsea continued to suffer a setback in the Premier League, it was enough to make Potter get criticized and started to doubt.
Admittedly, I also realized that this assessment was too quick, because as a coach who does not have high luck, of course Potter needs more time to make the expected changes.

If I consider that Potter's success with Brighton is also not obtained in a short time, so at least because Potter is in a big club it should be easier for Potter to build a better team.
As Chelsea have better resources, it will help Potter to get the players he wants in the January transfer window. But if it still doesn't give the expected results, then of course the assessment will be right given at that moment.

Milan which currently follows under Napoli, will face Salernitana and Roma in the next two matches. If look at the level of difficulty with the opponents that Napoli will face, Milan has the potential to get full points and get closer to Napoli in the standings.
Napoli needs to be careful with Juventus and Inter. They have been in good form recently, Especially Juventus, who are unbeaten in the last five matches.
Napoli have a slightly more difficult opponent in the next few matches after the World Cup compared to AC Milan, Perhaps Milan's toughest opponent, namely AS Roma and previously against Salernita, was an easy match for Milan to gain maximum points. Unlike Napoli, who had to face Inter Milan and Juventus, both teams are currently in pretty good form. Moreover, Juventus' performance, which won 6 recently wins in Serie A, made Napoli have to perform optimally if they wanted to get 3 points.

But Napoli have more enough points left with Milan on standing position, seems difficult opponent with Juventus and Inter although without any point achievement yet, Napoli still lead standing position behind Milan.



They will still be playing against another top team anyway, so I don't think there is anything to lose or gain. But indeed, when the matchday is held at the weekend and in the middle of the week they play in the Champions League and/or also in the European League then of course, such a schedule will prevent them from getting the maximum rotation of players.
But if I consider that at least they still have a chance to win against each other, because over time their performance will certainly change.

Therefore, Napoli will indeed be more demanded to win, but at the same time Napoli must also be able to focus on the Champions League.
For a team like Napoli this might be a very good season for them, but it will also be a very tough season if Napoli are targeting good results in two different competitions.

Honestly I don't expect a surprise this season because there are even more big teams in the Europa League compared to the previous season. One of them will be eliminated certainly after the Barcelona - Manchester United matchup though but there will still be many left.

The Europa League has become as competitive as the Champions League this season. Several Renowned teams are performing in the Europa League this season. And so it is difficult to predict which team will win the title. However, a team between Manchester United and Barcelona will be eliminated in the next round. But also big teams like Roma, Ajax, Arsenal, PSV, and Juventus will play in Europa League. And so it is very difficult to say which team will win the title.

If Manchester United can end the group phase in first place, then of course Manchester United will not play against Barcelona because the team that won the group, they will only start playing in the next playoff round. With Manchester United only being runners-up, then of course Manchester United must have deeper preparations. Because in this round Manchester United will play against Barcelona, ​​so of course Erik ten Hag will not risk the final result, and Erik ten Hag will play all of his main players.
Because basically, what usually happens is they might play second-tier players if the opponent is not Barcelona, ​​because against Barcelona of course they have high prestige.

But even though this is a big match, I think if the result might be difficult to score because maybe the gameplay is more defensive then of course it will still be boring.
Because it doesn't guarantee that a big match like this will be interesting to watch for all 90 minutes, unless they play so openly that they produce lots of goals then of course it will be more interesting.

I have seen the news related to the bribery attempt by Qatar even on BBC so I guess it is not only a rumour now. They must have really tried to do this but they have been caught. They tried to bribe 8 players from the Ecuador squad for millions of dollars. Even if it stays as a "rumour" it has already made me uncomfortable. I just hope that Qatar lose all of their matches starting with this one. Ecuador are already a much stronger team than them. Qatar may be the host country but I still think they will lose here.

I hope to see a decent World Cup in this country. We are about to watch a World Cup in November for the first time and we shouldn't be regretful about this later on. Besides I hope that we don't see another World Cup being organized in a time except the summer. It is always better for supporters and players both to have this tournament in the summer. It is good for players too because they don't have to deal with an extra tightness in their schedule with their teams in a season.

It would be a shame if that really happened because it made the tournament unhealthy again due to bribery and or match-fixing practices, but hopefully it's just a rumor because I'm sure there is an investigation team that has good accuracy to prevent or uncover practices like this.
But regarding the Qatar and Ecuador teams, for me these two teams are not strong teams but indeed, Ecuador has a better chance because they have strong gameplay too.
But that doesn't mean Qatar has completely lost its chance to get points, because at least Qatar can still hold Ecuador to a draw in this match.

So, with predictions like that I think Qatar doesn't need to cheat because that is also a form of their lack of confidence in this tournament.
After all, pure gameplay would of course be better even if the results weren't optimal, because that way they could assess their strengths and weaknesses.

Ronaldo is the most talked sports person on the internet now, while everyone is angry about the whole situation, I think he deserves an accolade for his bravery and being able to speak up. I believe he even spoke the minds of some other players and some other members of the staff and hierachy. It looks like the club owners are comfortable with the current condition, poor facilities, not enough infrastructures and poor performance. Ronaldo will always remain my hero.

A player merely needs to be brave and confident to tell the public about such a significant issue in the team. Yes, he must have spoken the opinions of others and been more well-liked by them, but he gave little attention to the repercussions. However, a player like Ronaldo has nothing to lose because he has achieved so much and will continue to be influential in the world of football no matter what he does or says. I believe that Ronaldo made a horrible decision by playing for Manchester United again; he did it out of love and compassion for the team.

But the fact is that Ronaldo is still like a player who lacks achievements, because if Ronaldo is satisfied with all the achievements he has got so far then Ronaldo is more able to accept his situation at Manchester United. Incidents like this happen for a reason and one of them is that Ronaldo no longer gets many minutes to play, so Ronaldo begins to dare to express his heart or his disappointment.
Because if he makes excuses about family problems, I personally am not sure about that and maybe only as a diversion or a self-defence.

Also, if Ronaldo's actions represent his teammates, then who are they, because if these actions represent the players around him then of course they will make a defense too.
But in fact, I don't think any of his teammates are trying to reconcile this situation, because so far there is also no info about other players involved in this matter.

Barcelona only weakness this season when facing big teams, this condition that Xavi must immediately overcome. Barcelona failure in the UCL was due to not being able to compete with Bayern Munich and Inter, in La Liga Barcelona also lost to Real Madrid.
The world cup break gives free time for Xavi to improve Barcelona weaknesses, the chemistry between the players must be well established, Xavi must also awaken the players' mentality so that they are better prepared when facing big teams.

When Xavi benched Frankie for Gavi, played Busquet every game for 90 minutes, and bought Alonso, This is what they get, and the cost is being kicked out of the Champions League.
Barca has been relegated to the Europa League twice and is burdened by a heavy debt. Bad down and no trophies again.

Basically the Barcelona squad is already good and maybe, the problem is only in the strategy or tactics that are not quite right and Xavi still can't adjust it. So, in my opinion Barcelona needs a coach who is more precise and doesn't need any more players at this moment, because it would be useless if they were still hunting for players if the strategy was still not suitable for the existing players.
Therefore, I personally don't think Barcelona lacks great players, because with them being able to compete strongly in La Liga at least it proves that Barcelona is already better but not in total.

That is, if Barcelona is better in total then of course Barcelona will also get good results in the Champions League, but what happens is Xavi is still having the same problems as last season.
In fact, in fact last season and this season the Barcelona squad has changed and of course it's better this season judging from the squad factor, but Xavi still can't maximize gameplay with the squad he has.
5673  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 19, 2022, 11:01:42 AM
Yes, no one can match their performance in the Bundesliga. No matter how good the other teams are against Bayern Munich, they can handle it very well. They were talked about a lot at the start of the season when they had some unsatisfactory results from a weak side in the Bundesliga whose domination was coming to an end. However, in just a few weeks they were able to take over at the top of the standings and now they can even sit comfortably. Not only that, they can also refute their assumptions about Lewandowski with the evidence on the field.
In fact, without Lewandowski, Bayern can be still strong, moreover with the arrival of Mane. Bayern still becomes the best club in Bundesliga. Although they were facing a quite hard condition previously, in fact right now, they are in the top standing again. Like the previous seasons, I am sure that Bayern Munich will become the winner of the Bundesliga again. This may be boring right? But, what's else we will expect from this? So far, Dortmund sometimes become the hardest competitor of Bayern Munich, but this season, they are not in their good performance. They are only in the six positions with a big difference in points. The Bayern competitor right now is Freiburg and Leipzig, but the pints are also quite big. SO, the chance for winning is higehr enough for Bayern Munich again.

After all, Bayern Munich has good management, and at least these factors make it possible for Bayern Munich to be consistent from season to season to remain the best. Even when Bayern Munich didn't get good results at the start of the season, I personally was still very confident that in the end Bayern Munich would still be the team that won the Bundesliga title.
Because of the several results that occurred in the previous seasons too, sometimes Bayern Munich experienced results that were not optimal. So that the position is a little threatened and or still cannot be at the top of the standings, but again and again in the end Bayern Munich will still return to the top position.

Therefore, at least the competition in the Bundesliga will still exist and if other teams in the Bundesliga can maintain their performance, then it is still possible to break Bayern Munich's dominance.
But the problem is, so far no team has been able to maintain its form throughout the season, and the only team that has been able to maintain its good form for longer is Bayern Munich. Thus, of course, Bayern Munich will always dominate the league from season to season.

In my opinion, it is too imposing for players of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's class to continue playing matches, at an age that is no longer possible to continue strengthening AC Milan, because AC Milan has never given opportunities for young players to develop, so in my opinion it is too forcing Zlatan Ibrahimovic to play every game. important match, in my opinion he deserves to retire, because Zlatan Ibrahimovic often loses the ball and sacrifices his colleagues to chase the ball, in my opinion it will always be troublesome for his colleagues, talking about winning or not the Scudetto this season, it is very difficult to predict who who will come out as Champion this season, of course that is still a question because all teams are equally strong and still have a chance to win the Scudetto this season...
I think Ibrahimovic has had his time and at his age should be thinking about retirement or playing for a lesser intensed league or small team to give way for other up comings to get a chance to show and prove themselves. Keeping Ibrahimovic at the club at this level is not a good idea because there are other younger players and even senior players seeking for an opportunity, players like Origi can still take Ibrahimovic's place.

lol! After all, no team is forcing Ibrahimovic to continue playing, but Ibrahimovic himself chose to continue playing and Ibrahimovic is free to choose to retire and also continue to play.
In this case no team is forcing him and because Ibrahimovic is still available in the team, then of course the coach will play him when Ibrahimovic is fit and will not play when he is not fit.

I wonder, when you say Ibrahimovic continues to play, do you know how much Ibrahimovic has played so far this season?
In fact, so far the fact is that Ibrahimovic has not played at all because he is still injured. Also, there is still no notification from Ibrahimovic himself whether he chooses to retire or not.

That way, Ibrahimovic does have the desire to continue playing and not a team that forces him to continue playing.
Every player is free to choose and they can retire at any time and if you know, recently it even happened to Gerard Piqué who suddenly decided to retire even when the league was still rolling.
At least that can also happen or is very likely to happen to Ibrahimovic, because basically it's time for Ibrahimovic to retire.

Marseille is 6 points behind from second placed Lens in the points table and only 1 point behind from Rennes. Closing this point gap should not be too difficult if Marseille is able to perform consistently well. However, it will not be easy to occupy second place in the table. Lens has been performing very well this season. Lens has been defeated in just one match. I think Lens and Marseille will fight for second place in the table. But it is difficult to predict how the teams will perform after the World Cup. We should wait, and make predictions about the teams by seeing their performance after the World Cup.
Marseille is second-best club in French League, and mostly they are having spot behind leaders PSG in last few seasons but in current season we have some amazing performances from few clubs like Lorient and Lens with Rennes is also doing good but right now Lorient is slipping badly with having no win in last five matches but Lens and Rennes are still doing amazing job which is surely going to be tough challenge for Marseille because now if they want to stay at top then surely they have to improve their performance and quality which is not easy with Monaco is also doing good even in last game they lost against Marseille at home but still they are also good and quality team in French League which is capable of having good position.

If Marseille can do better and at the same time Lens has good consistency too, then Marseille will still find it difficult to keep close to overtaking second place. But indeed, even though there is a fairly wide point gap like for example 10 can still be pursued, but with the note that the team above it cannot maintain consistency.
What's more, Marseille and Lens only have a six-point gap which, of course, is a point gap that on paper can still be overtaken.

However, this is the third season for Lens playing in Ligue 1, and I think it's too soon for Lens to finish in second place. Because in the previous two seasons Lens had only been able to end the league in seventh place in the standings, and of course that was good consistency for Lens as a promotion team.
But with such consistency, it's still quite possible for Lens to be able to achieve a better position this season, such as for the top five and not in second place.
But if Lens really can end the season in second place, then of course it is a big achievement for them which is achieved in a fairly short time too.

Yep. Atletico Madrid should have a chance to return to the top 3. There are still too many remaining matches, it is not something impossible to reach. However, Atletico Madrid competes with some teams that have a small point gap for that position. They also performed inconsistently, they often got defeated or got a draw result when they are against smaller teams. With this condition, I think it won't be easy to return to the top 3. Simeone must find a suitable tactic and improve the mentality of Atletico Madrid players to increase the chance of getting 3 points in every match. This is the only way to return to the position (top 3/UCL zone).


It's easy for them to do that, but it's much more that many fans expect from Atletico Madrid. They want Atletico Madrid to be a title contender with Real Madrid and Barcelona, not just to be in the Champions League zone.
They are also very bad in the Champions League, they are at the bottom of the standings and are unable to win a position at least so they can play the Europa League Play Off matches. How is it possible for a team as big as Atletico Madrid to only get 1 victory, while they are the favorite team in the group they occupy.

Atletico don't always have to get three points in every match because after all, their point gap is still very close. In fact, the points earned in fourth, fifth and sixth positions are the same at 24 points and indeed, when changes occur they can drop quite wide and rise quite high.
Anyway, Atletico just need to be consistent not to lose too much, at least consistently not to lose too much, which means the result is about wins and/or draws, and that will still be good for Atletico's position.

On paper, Atletico certainly still have a chance to finish in the top four, the problem of being a team in the title race is not too important because La Liga is a competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
So yes, with Atletico being able to consistently finish in the top four, that's already good for Atletico, and the chance to get it still belongs to Atletico because they are also not far behind.

Ronaldo has put himself in problem.  The interview of Ronaldo might affect him and run is career down. I think Ronaldo went too far to say things that is not necessarily  for anyone to hear. It is very bad to expose the home you belong no matter how bad it is.
Do you think that CR7 wasn't aware about the consequences of his speech? I believe that all what he said was planned to be exposed in order to piss ManU as much as possible and whether he leaves the club or force Ten Hag to say goodbye. Obviously CR7 is no longer a key player and ManU doesn't care much about him anymore. So the deal here is clear: coach > one player.


I think he was kind of fed up of situation inside the club. It isn't just ten Hag, its everybody he dragged in that interview except few players. Yeah kinda knows about consequences but feels that it is better to move out of the club also. I also kinda agree things need to change at United. Definitely not the way it was used to when Ferguson was there.

It is clear that Ronaldo no longer wants to be at Manchester United any longer, because with his attitude that is no longer friendly, it is like leaving the match before the game is over and now making a statement that will certainly have a reaction or impact that will be caused. So with that, maybe this is a form of Ronaldo's disappointment that he no longer gets more playing time.
Therefore, it seems certain that Ronaldo will leave Manchester United in the transfer market later and as I have also said, that this kind of attitude will certainly have a bad impact on judgment and of course as a top player this kind of attitude is very inappropriate to express.

Because as a top player, Ronlado should be more able to show or show that he is able to recover even though it is a long process.
Instead of getting something desired with that attitude, but an incident like this would probably only make it more difficult to get a new team later because they were also worried about the same thing. It doesn't matter if the player is a top player with a high salary, because if his performance has decreased, of course the team or coach will not hesitate to put him on the bench more often.

The Serie A started to be really enjoyable since Juventus' domination finished. Juventus became the champions nine seasons in a row until the 2019/20 season. Finally we started to see different teams starting to win the league title after that. First Inter and after that Milan reached the title. This season it looks like Napoli will be the champions. It would be a very meaningful championship for them at the same time by the way. Because it has been 30+ years since they got their last championship here.

The only boring part might start depending on if Napoli open the point gap with the others much more and finish the season earlier than the expectations. But I will still enjoy the league anyway because we will have another different champion team.  Grin

It doesn't matter if Napoli can have a very wide points gap because if Napoli don't have a very wide points gap, then I think Napoli will be overtaken again. At least with Napoli having a very wide point gap later on then Napoli will win the title for sure and that will be interesting, because every season Serie A gets a new winner.
Because as time goes by, the three teams that previously won their Serie A title are slowly getting back up and will still be putting pressure on Napoli who are at the top of the standings.

Therefore, I personally hope that Napoli will be able to maintain their performance so that they continue to be strong at the top of the standings.
Because the league will continue and at least there is still a meaningful second half of the season, there is still no guarantee for Napoli to be able to win the title, unless Napoli already have points that can no longer be chased.
