Atalanta showered out-of-form Genoa with goals.Retegui scored a hattrick as Atalanta defeated their opponents 5-1 at home to secure a comfortable win.
One of the most important matches of the week was definitely the Inter-Torino clash.Inter were in complete control after Maripan left his team 10 men in the early minutes.Inter managed to close the first half 2-1 ahead with Thuram's goal. In the 60th minute, Thuram scored his and his team's 3rd goal to give his team a comfortable lead.Towards the end of the game, Torino made it 3-2 from a penalty, but Inter won the match.

Almost 80% of ball possession for Juventus but they have not managed to won the game versus Cagliari.
Vlahovic scored the 1st goal, now 5th goal in the seria A for this year, but they tied the game in the end with a penalty.

Conceciao got a red card for double yellow card for simulation according to the referee but he has been touched so it is very sus.

What do you think about Douglas Luiz? I think he will be chosen as the most disliked player by the fans this year. It has been said that he is not very useful for the team, on the contrary, he is very harmful
He came on as a late player in this match, it seems there is no need to talk about how he played.
I think Juventus should start Kenan Yıldız in the first 11. This young talent could be a good alternative for the team

[Slow death]

It seems that we will not be champions this season. Honestly, I cannot understand the management of Juventus. The current coach of Juventus is looking like the old coach of Juventus. He is doing very well in defense, he has only conceded 1 goal in 7 games. That is incredible. But he is not doing well in winning games. He does not have a consistent attack. Most games end in a draw and without a goal.

Juventus 0 - 0 Roma (draw and no goal)

Empoli 0 - 0 Juventus (again, draw and no goal)

Juventus 0 - 0 Napoli (again, draw and no goal)

Juventus 1 - 1 Cagliari ( again draw )

The Juventus coach should buy at least 2 players who are excellent in attack in the next transfer window, because the way things are, Juventus will hardly be able to be champion. I don't know why the Juventus board didn't hire a coach who has more of an attacking focus than a defensive focus.

After 7 rounds we are having 3 wins and 4 draws, and they concede their first goal in this game against Cagliari which is surely giving all how things are going now they are at the third spot their performance is surely far away for best in today game I was expecting some good and aggressive approach from them, but things were completely out of the touch.

Dušan Vlahović doing good, but we have no support for him which can give them good results in today game we have 7 shots on target but still just one goal which need to be improved because now in coming weeks things could be more competitive and tense they needed to be at his best if they want to keep things at the top level in Serie A.

The question we have to ask ourselves is: is Juventus fighting for the title or is it fighting to finish in one of the positions that will qualify for the European Champions League? because in my opinion it seems that Juventus is fighting to finish in one of the positions for access to the European Champions League and not for the title

[TelolettOm]

A renowned team of Serie A is Lazio. However, this team is not in a good rhythm this season. Lazio finished second in the table in the 2022–23 season. But Lazio's performance this season is poor. Lazio in particular are lagging behind due to their poor defence. Lazio failed to score points due to poor defense in most of the matches.

Yes, last season, Lazio could only finish in 7th position, so the club could only enter the UEFA Europa League. However, their performance in the league in 2 matches was very good, even Lazio led the temporary Europa League standings.

And in Serie A, their performance is also getting better. This time, they also managed to beat Empoli with a score of 2. Although initially Lazio was 1 goal behind, they managed to catch up and the second goal from Pedro made the victory.

Today Juventus fans must be really sad to lose points against Cagliari home.    They kept the score at 1-0 so long and Cagliari didn't give up which brought the equalizer in the last minutes. Juventus had very limited time to answer so here we are. The problem started to be clear once again for them. Scoring productivity is once again not good enough...

If you look at their last 5 games carefully, you will see 3 draws with 0-0 scores. They are again suffering the same problem while being solid in defense. I hope Motta can figure a way out otherwise it might be really painful.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Atalanta appears today again against Genoa after winning their last match 3- 0 against shakhtar for their second champion league matches after draw against arsenal, Atalanta appear fit to win this match against Genoa because their performance is far ahead of Genoa in their last five games, Atalanta won two games, draw two and lost one while Genoa couldn't win any but secured two draw and lost three games both home and away.

Despite that Genoa played at home in their last match against Juventus, their performance was very poor and if they play same way in the match today, there's no way they will even score one goal.  I don't have a single doubt that Atalanta is going to win the match.

But it must be admitted that Atalanta did give a very good game, and Atalanta is not a team that can be underestimated, they are much better than Genoa even when doing away matches, so for a class of teams like Genoa it will be very difficult for them even though playing at home.

They must have very high improvement to continue to be able to compete with teams like Atalanta, they played quite badly, I also saw that, but still quite single in this match, they can continue to find weak points and attacks that Atalanta cannot stop, their speed needs to be considered to be able to penetrate the Atalanta defense.

Football is a game of luck but would really take lots of luck for Genoa to run over Atalanta. I actually knew that Atalanta can not be defeated by Genoa, based on my own predictions, I even though that they can not be able able to score a single goal but they tried.

[Lannakosa]

The many opportunities that Juventus got in this match were not enough to bring them victory. Only in the 15th minute of the first half did La Vecchia Signora manage to score a goal through a penalty from Dusan Vlahovic after that and so on until the second half there were no additional goals and the narrow advantage was equalized by Cagliari, the final score was 1-1.
In my opinion, Juve's performance was not bad, it's just that Cagliari showed a good defense so that Motta's team was unable to redeem it.
This draw puts Juventus in 3rd place in the standings with 13 points and if Milan gets a positive result when visiting Fiorentina's headquarters today their position will be shifted.

Another draw for Juventus, they conceded their first goal this season and that goal was enough to take the win. Too many draws, they have drawn four times out of 7 matches, it is strange that their attack plays so inconsistently, good matches are followed by very poor attacking play. Inter took advantage of this and have already overtaken Juventus, and Milan can take advantage of this if they can beat Fiorentina, but I think it will be difficult because Fiorentina have not lost at home for a long time.

The dominance of Juventus in the match was indeed quite extraordinary even though they lost one player due to getting a red card. But unfortunately the ball possession at 80% does not open the way for Juventus to get three points. Cagliari did not have the best ability when facing Juventus because they lost confidence, it should be when Juventus lost one player made them much more free to build attacks.

The draw benefits Cagliari but for Juventus it is not so satisfying because they lost three points to catch up with Napoli and even the draw made Inter Milan occupy second place in the standings because they won the match when they faced Torino.

Today match will be the last match for Juventus and the rest of the Serie A teams because we will be going into a two-week international break, against Cagliari, Juventus managed to dominate possession but they could not do much more to win than just a penalty goal from Vlahovic, they created many chances in the game but the performance from Scuffet was outstanding in keeping the Cagliari goal from conceding in the match, I see that actually Juventus game is quite good but the lack of creativity in the front line seems to be their problem at the moment, the red card obtained by Conceicao is questionable because there is no contact that occurs on the legs and also there is no visible pressure on the shoulders that causes someone to fall except diving, we can see if  in the last few matches of Serie A this season it can be seen that many referee decisions are quite controversial and often detrimental to a team and Serie A authorities should review the performance of their referees in matches if they don't want to be accused of bad or corruption from many parties.

It's one thing to dominate a game but totally a different thing to win at the end. Juventus like you rightly said was undoubtedly the dominant team in their Italian Serie A game against Cagliari this afternoon but they failed to maximize their opportunities in the game which was why they couldn't win at the end despite leading the game till the 88th minute. Răzvan Marin's strike in the dying minutes of the game came as a huge blow for Juventus but F. Conceição red card a minute later limited their chances of getting a late winner. Cagliari will be very happy with the result because it's actually not easy to play against the Old Ladies at their home ground and not get beaten.

Getting victory at the start of the season by winning with a score of 3-0 in the first two matches, I think Juventus will be able to be consistent with these good results with high productivity in making goals. It's true about the 0-0 result you said, because after two wins at the beginning of the  season with a score of 3-0 but for the next three Juventus matches that Juventus only got a 0-0 draw and that's pretty bad, indeed. But in fact,  Juventus won again with a score of 3-0 against Genoa and I think Juventus will be back in a good trend, and playing at home against Cagliari of course Juventus are very favored to win but anyway, the result is again getting a 1-1 draw and of course it is a disappointing one because I sure many bettors also lost in this match.

In the previous season, the Juventus team was far behind in the title fight. And the main reason why Juventus fell behind in the title race was a very weak attack. One of the best defenses in Serie A was probably Juventus's. But Juventus did not have the ability to score more goals. The Juventus team managed to score only 54 goals in 38 matches. On the other hand, Serie A champions Inter Milan scored 89 goals in 38 matches.

Juventus have played quite well in the opening few matches of this season. And in two matches they won by a big margin of 3-0. We thought Juventus' attack was very strong this season. And I thought the Juventus team would fight for the title this season. But in the last few matches we have seen poor performances from Juventus. At the same time, we can see the weakness of Juventus' attack this season. Juventus players scored only 10 goals in 7 matches. It is impossible for this team to win Serie A this season too.

[bangjoe]

And yes Napoli won the match against como quite well and they got 3 goals in the match against Como and it was a success to get 3 extra points again and again, if they are consistent in getting a win a season before they can become league leaders again and that is a very extraordinary achievement that Napoli has ever scored in history because it won with a very far point difference from its competitors.
Judging from the structure of the match Como also did not take it quietly but they only only got one goal, but in terms of the game Como was also not far behind just that they were still easily infiltrated by Napoli's attacks, Como's next match might give them points.

Napoli beat Como with 3-1 getting important points. This kind of winning helps the Napoli to stay to near the top of the league. Como tried very well and put a great fight with Napoli but Napoli strong attacks made difference and help them to win the match. Como played well so they might win their next game. Napoli is playing very well and consistently which could help them to win the league title easily. Not sure but they can.

Como did not perform badly in their three previous match heald in August and September and they played those match in their home which their performance was good and the fact that they also had home advantage.
 Napoli have won in these their past match but hopefully comi is going to win in their next match which is slated for 19th of this month and they are playing at home. I know they will definitely win the match, it's their second match on 25th that am having doubt in their success.

Yes como still has hope that is still wide enough and wide enough where they can grow faster, the defeat against Napoli does not need to be a great blow for them to fade, but it needs to be used as a motivation to grow faster and develop again in the next matches and be able to compete at the top of the table with other big teams.
Despite not having any luck at home I think they do deserve to be said to have the best growth from a team that comes from the bottom then goes to the top level.

[KTChampions]

Hmmm... It smells.
If I remember correctly, he was disqualified based on a doping test that showed the presence of "artificial testosterone" and an obviously elevated level.
And now we are told that he ate a banned drug, but that is not a problem since it only affects women? Fuck, this story reminds me of a bag of garbage (Fury) who got high on nandrolone "by eating boar meat".
Eh, another corruption scheme.

This news for Paul Pogba is very good as he can again start playing for Juventus and get himself back to the field however, he definitely needs some time to get ready to play in the field again because he was out for a long time and this effectively the performance of Paul Pogba. He can start  playing in January
But now Paul Pogba is not a famous player anymore and now I don't think if Motta wants to have this player in the team anymore. That's why I think there is a high chance that Pogba will start playing for another team instead of Juventus.

Perhaps you didn't mean fame but his level? He's definitely far from his peak. And first of all, because of his physical condition. It was not by chance that he took testosterone - in this way he tried to return his body to good physical condition.
He still has enough time to prepare for the games in a relaxed schedule, but it is unclear whether he will be able to return to his best shape, with or without doping.

Today match will be the last match for Juventus and the rest of the Serie A teams because we will be going into a two-week international break, against Cagliari, Juventus managed to dominate possession but they could not do much more to win than just a penalty goal from Vlahovic, they created many chances in the game but the performance from Scuffet was outstanding in keeping the Cagliari goal from conceding in the match, I see that actually Juventus game is quite good but the lack of creativity in the front line seems to be their problem at the moment, the red card obtained by Conceicao is questionable because there is no contact that occurs on the legs and also there is no visible pressure on the shoulders that causes someone to fall except diving, we can see if  in the last few matches of Serie A this season it can be seen that many referee decisions are quite controversial and often detrimental to a team and Serie A authorities should review the performance of their referees in matches if they don't want to be accused of bad or corruption from many parties.

The problem faced by Juventus is the attack line that still can't work optimally, because when their back line can defend well, it's like in vain when they can't score goals. Their statistics say that they always keep clean sheets in the 6 matches they play in Serie A, but they get more draws than wins, yes that's because they can't score goals consistently from each match.
Even in this match, 1 goal they scored came from a penalty and had to accept the fact that the only goal they scored from a penalty had to be equalized by a goal also scored by Cagliari from a penalty.
evaluation must be done, because they can't continue like this, otherwise they will always get negative results (draws or even defeats).

Juventus really tried their best, but the truth is that they were just not lucky enough to win the game today. Juventus was the team in control of the pitch; they created many clean chances, but they were not lucky enough to convert those chances into goals. Cagliari  style of play today was fully defensive, and it really worked for them. To be honest, I was not expecting Juventus to draw this match. In fact, I thought it was going to be an easy match for Juventus, as Cagliari is not that strong a team.But things didn't work out like that for them. With this result, I know many people will lose their bets today because almost everyone had some confidence that Juventus would win the game, especially since it was their home game.

[Nanga Parbat]

Juventus is winning but one goal at 84 minutes  and the goal was scored in first through penalty by Duhan Vlohovi. I will not say that this is a motivating result because I expected them to win nicely and not just through penalty. They are playing home and are obviously the favorite against Cagliari so it was expected that they win them decisively because they have to keep focus on winning as many matches as possible if they want to turn their current situation around as they are almost becoming an average team in the Seria A.

Why Juventus won't win the match is because they are strong and they are hardworking as well as performing well. Performance and pace was good from their side too but the real goal is who wins the match.  Many teams lose matches despite playing at home but this one is winning the match. They will become a separate team only if they win the match.  If they continue to play like normal teams, there is no point in playing like this. If you watch or like Juventus you will have an idea of ​​their performance and strength, they win most of the matches. Juventus drew matches against Napoli and Empoli who are strong teams.  Although they could have lost the match but they worked hard in those matches and played till the draw but they did not lose the match. When they don't work hard and perform well and win matches, they will become a normal team like Juventus.

[Arenga pinnata]

Getting victory at the start of the season by winning with a score of 3-0 in the first two matches, I think Juventus will be able to be consistent with these good results with high productivity in making goals. It's true about the 0-0 result you said, because after two wins at the beginning of the  season with a score of 3-0 but for the next three Juventus matches that Juventus only got a 0-0 draw and that's pretty bad, indeed. But in fact,  Juventus won again with a score of 3-0 against Genoa and I think Juventus will be back in a good trend, and playing at home against Cagliari of course Juventus are very favored to win but anyway, the result is again getting a 1-1 draw and of course it is a disappointing one because I sure many bettors also lost in this match.

At the start of the season, we even appreciated Thiago Motta a lot for Juventus' victory. but now Juventus is having difficulty getting a win. But one good thing about Juventus is that they are the only one in Serie A this season who have not lost once. But unfortunately, among all the top teams currently, Juventus is the one with the most draws. I hope Thiago Motta can make Juventus play as well as at the start of the season again. Because actually getting a draw is a sign that this team has very good strengths that need to be explored again to become better.

[Silence Scream]

And yes Napoli won the match against como quite well and they got 3 goals in the match against Como and it was a success to get 3 extra points again and again, if they are consistent in getting a win a season before they can become league leaders again and that is a very extraordinary achievement that Napoli has ever scored in history because it won with a very far point difference from its competitors.

Despite not having any luck at home I think they do deserve to be said to have the best growth from a team that comes from the bottom then goes to the top level.

If we have to talk about Como, they started the league above expectations this season. They are not at the bottom of the league, at least this shows that they have achieved their initial goals. Also, their goal is not the Europa League, but to stay in Serie A. I think they can at least achieve this. Because the game they play is promising.

[notocactus]

This news for Paul Pogba is very good as he can again start playing for Juventus and get himself back to the field however, he definitely needs some time to get ready to play in the field again because he was out for a long time and this effectively the performance of Paul Pogba. He can start  playing in January
But now Paul Pogba is not a famous player anymore and now I don't think if Motta wants to have this player in the team anymore. That's why I think there is a high chance that Pogba will start playing for another team instead of Juventus.

He will need to get back to training more seriously and prepare for his come back in January. I really don't think his body is ready physically for his return at best conditions and if he gets another injury during preparation time, his career comes closer to the end. Sometimes you can not win against ageing and physical strength, and the fact is Pogba no longer has a good body like years ago. It's biggest risk for rest of his career and if he can not win against it, his career will fall downside quickly or even he will have to retire too.

Perhaps you didn't mean fame but his level? He's definitely far from his peak. And first of all, because of his physical condition. It was not by chance that he took testosterone - in this way he tried to return his body to good physical condition.
He still has enough time to prepare for the games in a relaxed schedule, but it is unclear whether he will be able to return to his best shape, with or without doping.

Playing at lower level, at smaller club and smaller league, will be better choice for Pogba. He can take advantage of his time in Juventus, for a come back and make some impression, to find a good job offer from Saudi Arabian clubs, and move to Saudi Professional League. Neymar did it successfully and Pogba can do the same, to take advantage of Saudi Professional League growth. I am pessimistic on his chance in Juventus and Serie A, or a wider scale, in any big league in Europe.
