Boring game between juventus and inter.
Inter scored a random goal and juventus got a random penalty in the end of the game.

This year could be a fight between Napoli an Milan only for the title.

honestly speaking this year is still very undecided, inter is not so strong, juventus is not so strong, napoli and Milan follow the same line as juventus and inter, this year's winner will be random and win because luck will be on your side.

Milan only won bologna by luck, if bologna had 11 players, milan would have lost

Napoli suffered to beat Fiorentina and Torino and drew against Roma

Inter got into trouble against sassuolo, lost humiliatingly against Lazio, and drew against juventus

well about juventus: no comments

It's the lack of consistency in the parts of the clubs that cause it. When almost 80% of the teams are inconsistent, the decisions will not be cool even for gamblers.  For instance, a club like Lazio will beat inter, you will believe they are strong. But on the next match, Lazio can loose 3goals to nill to Torino, then Inter will come and humiliated Torino, then the circle will continue.
I don't even know the problem with Juventus at all. Can they still contest in this year's title.?

On the one hand, Napoli did not lose again, on the other hand, a magnificent series of victories in eight matches was interrupted and this draw allowed Milan to finally catch up with Napoli in the standings. Mourinho sacrificed the result in the Conference League match for the sake of the match with Napoli and got the final result in the form of a draw. By the way, a 0-0 draw in the matches between Roma and Napoli has not been observed since February 1980. It is also worth paying attention to the red cards to the head coaches of the teams from the side of the main referee of the meeting, when Mourinho was removed during the meeting, and Spaletti was released after the final whistle.

I expected that this evening Juventus would be able to defeat Inter and take advantage of the fact that Napoli had lost points to at least somehow reduce the gap from the championship leader. But apparently this evening should have stopped two good series of victories for Napoli and for Juve.

Roma vs Napoli & Inter vs Juventus ended in a draw and maybe not what many expected. Napoli, who previously had a 100% winning record, were held to a goalless draw by Roma throughout the match so that AC Milan, who previously won the match vs Bologna, managed to equalize point with Napoli who now have 25 point each.

Napoli and Roma are two team that have strong defense so far in Serie A so this draw in my opinion is fair enough for both of them. Previously Roma were doubtful for point in that match, but Mourinho and his players' determination to steal point from Napoli went smoothly and currently Roma have managed to occupy the fourth position in the standing with 16 point.

Juventus got a good result for tonight. despite having to force Inter to share points, the opportunity that was successfully exploited was at the end of the match. luckily Dybala managed to execute the penalty well. Overall today's game, Juve and Inter are pretty even.
but overall Juventus performance in 9 matches that have been done. Of course, it does not give satisfaction to the fans and the coaching team.
Juventus will then face Sassuolo. although Juventus are superior materially. but they have to be careful with the rotation of the players they do. because it intensifies the ongoing competition. I'm sure it makes a lot of players feel exhausted.

Inter - Juventus was the game of the week I think and the result didn't surprise me much. Juventus were having a much better form than Inter before this game. They got a big win streak in the Serie A and they won all of their Champions League games so far too. As a result, they were quite well-prepared for this game against Inter. And Inter weren't having their best form but they were still a very powerful team here. And they managed to get ahead first in the early first half also. But as they couldn't open the gap more, Juventus maintained their hopes about getting a point and Dybala saved the team finally in the last minutes. A 1-1 draw is a suitable result for a game like this I think.

Previously Roma were doubtful for point in that match, but Mourinho and his players' determination to steal point from Napoli went smoothly and currently Roma have managed to occupy the fourth position in the standing with 16 point.

That's right, Napoli is a team that has a strong defense this season, they have only conceded 3 goals in Serie A. It's certainly very good to be champions this season. I still can't say much about Milan. Even though I'm a Milan fan, but looking at last season, I'm still a little doubtful whether AC Milan can be consistent and surpass Napoli to become champions this season or they are down after winter transfer.

[Ebede]

Napoli are still one of the unbeaten teams in the Serie A after getting a 0-0 draw against Roma away today. This was going to be a quite tough game for Napoli as it was an away game also. And it was the situation really. Roma tried to atone for the huge loss against Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League (6-1) but couldn't get a win. I don't think that any side is quite happy about this result. And Napoli missed the chance of breaking a new win streak record from the start of the season in the league. But they are still the leader that's what matters of course.

Napoli are giving every single game their best.... fighting for the league.
They still sit a beginners here in the Italian Seria A table.
They should be leveled with points with AC Milan, it's not really how well but how far hope they get to win the league since they have shown full desire to win the league.

But in my opinion the chance of milan this season is big enough to win the scudetto, yes even though their squad is not as good as napoli which has a strong enough defense, but the proof is that milan can play quite consistently in the 9 matches in the league this season, reportedly milan will targeting several players in the transfer market later to strengthen their defense and if that is realized of course Milan can be a strong contender for the Scudetto.

[jakdanyel]

I wasn't wrong about favoring Milan against Bologna this week. But I should admit that it was a really interesting match indeed. Milan ended the first half by 2-0 ahead and Bologna got a red card in the same half also. However, Bologna somehow managed to equalize the score. Even Zlatan scored an unlucky own goal. But after being shown the second red card, Bologna got nowhere to run. And Milan finished their opponent by 4-2. Zlatan made himself forgiven by scoring the last goal.

That draw for Napoli might cost them a lot. They were playing flawlessly so far in the league and I expected to win this match as well. Both Napoli and Milan have the same number of points (25) but Napoli is on top because of the goal difference. Juventus are still 10 points behind the leaders. What do you guys think? Will Juventus be able to get back on top of the leaderboard after still being 10 points behind?

Previously Roma were doubtful for point in that match, but Mourinho and his players' determination to steal point from Napoli went smoothly and currently Roma have managed to occupy the fourth position in the standing with 16 point.

That is a strange match when we saw two coaches were sent off. 

Roma had a chance to score but Abraham missed it. Napoli had one finish that hits the pillar of Roma's goal. So a draw is fair for them. I understood why Mourinho was angry like that. He did not want a draw and did not want to fall further in the Scudetto race.

A first draw can be a beginning of something worse for Napoli. They don't have too good substitutions to play well in whole season. Injury or fall of performance of key players can damage their performance.

Juventus can participate in the Scudetto competition if Napoli or AC Milan lost 2 matches that are not impossible.

^ I'm also concerned about Juventus this season. They started the season trashily but showed potential to recover from that but again drew with Inter, that too from a penalty. Both Morata and Dybala played but there are hardly noticeable on the pitch. The lack of Ronaldo, a lethal scorer is clearly seen. And the Italia league has been both unpredictable and enjoyable, to be honest. Smaller teams are giving fights to the bigger ones, which is also risky for bettors.

No one team can't win all the time, and a draw with Inter on their field is not such a bad result. Juventus played this match very well, I liked them more than Inter. As we can see, Ronaldo in Manchester United does not help much, so the result is possible when the team is strong, there is no need to rely on one player, it will not lead to anything. Juventus will play the next game at home with Sassuolo and I think they win. The main thing is that they play well both in Italy and in the Champions League now, the team is doing well, Alegre managed to raise the spirit of the team.

[dustboy]

What do you guys think? Will Juventus be able to get back on top of the leaderboard after still being 10 points behind?

They will, they show that they are improving their performance after very bad start in the first few matches. Slowly but sure they will back on the right track, 10 points behind is not that big because there are still 29 matches remaining to be played by all team where there are still many possibilities to happen in that 29 matches.

[Pulsar77]

Napoli and Milan both are dominating the league superbly right now. They both have 25 points in the standings now and they are seven points away from their closest competitor which is Inter. Having a this big point gap after only nine games played is a really huge achievement for these teams. But I'm pretty confident that not only Milan but also Napoli will have a bad period too. Then, the other teams will have an opportunity to catch them.

Yes, but I am so surprised by the performance of Juventus. They are not a mid-table team in fact they are always a top-table team for me, but their performance this season seems to deteriorate and the injuries of some important players are taking their toll on the team. But congratulations to Napoli and Milan. Both of them are on the top of the table and for some good reasons. They have played really well. But I am quite sure that I will see Juventus going up the table very soon.

There is a quite improvement in Juventus's performance lately, and they have high probabilities of topping the League. Although, they are presently at the 6th position on the table with 15 points. However i will like to see how they plays their next matches. Juventus next 3 League matches are probably against Sassuolo, Verona and Fiorentina. I think this teams are not that tough, and Juventus winning in these matches will surely boost their points, and also place them in the top 4 on the standings.

[sana54210]

Don't exclude Inter they are only 7 points adrift meaning only need 3 wins considering there are still many matches left the opportunity remains open
It is undeniable that Napoli and Milan continue to compete but only 9 matches have passed something can happen in the future for example a mainstay player is injured

You're right it's only 7 points so it only takes about 3-4 wins but with a note that the team above them didn't win or get a draw in that many matches, there are still a lot of matches, there are still 28 but 7 points behind is quite a lot, and it will be quite difficult to catch up, especially when there are two teams with the same points and both of them can be said to be equally strong because they are unbeaten in the league.
For Napoli they are a fairly strong team in defense, just look at 9 matches they have only conceded 3 goals, in mid-season will start to be a little clear which team can still compete for the title race.

Honestly Juventus and Inter game being that close was a very good thing to see. I rather see big teams fight each other instead of one dominating the other (Liverpool vs united style). I would say there are some more games left, but with nearly 10+ point difference, Napoli and Milan could definitely still lose some games and end up at the front. Right now, they already had like 4 game difference already, even if they lose 3 games while others win 3, they are still ahead, so that means they need to lose points on 4 games that others have to win.

I would say that for now it is not looking likely, I say at least another 10 games where these two will lead, after that if they are getting worse, if the point difference is smaller then we can talk about it, but if the point difference stays after another 10 games? Then we have ourselves a two team fight and everyone else following.

[CLS63]

I wasn't surprised to see these results in the Roma vs Napoli and Inter vs Juventus games. Actually, Roma vs Napoli game was surprising a little as there was no goal at the end. I would expect both teams to score and Napoli to win by a close gap maybe. Napoli would have maintained their winning streak and continued on their way to set a new record of winning streak. But they couldn't. And as for the other big game, Inter were really close to winning actually if it weren't for Dybala's life-saving goal in the last moments. Juventus maintained their unbeaten streak and they are really fascinating lately.

Only 25% of games was played this season so I think it is early to say such thing especially that we know that Milan can't hold its breath so much and that Napoli could surprise you about losing vs weak teams sometimes..
The first 6 teams in the table will most likely divide European spots between them. I will not speculate about the first place before seeing 66% of the games played in Serie A. Too random results to get any conclusion
