Inter and Juventus still in -2 difference. Napoli go down in 28 points! I not believe..

[Weawant]

Juventus still doesn't want to lose the race they have with Inter Milan and they are lucky to win the game they had against Salernitana. Juventus was close to losing two important points and taking a draw in this match but in the end, they scored the second goal in the last moment of the match and won the game with a 2-1 result.
Dušan Vlahović the player of Juventos couldn't have a good performance in this match but he scored the second goal and saved his team.

The game against salernitana was a very decisive one for Juventus because if they had lost they game, they would literally have to struggle even hard to be able to close the gap that will be between them and inter Milan, which would be over five points gap but now it will be just a few points to cover up for and the top could be possible again.

Despite every effort Inter Milan puts in broadening the gap between Juventus and the top spot on the table Juventus is relentless about making sure they get to the top is the table and staying there well enough to winning the league title as this is their only opportunity to win a trophy this season, inter Milan may at some point get distracted by the UCL and this i think will be the edge Juventus may be having at that point against inter Milan and if it's uitilzed well enough, they could get to the top and definitely win the serie A this season.

Yesterday Roma vs Atalanta in the Italian League, the match between the two teams scored 1-1. The players of the two teams fought hard, but neither team could win the match. The match was a draw due to the fact that the players of the two teams scored the same number of goals, so the points were shared between the two teams.  T. Koopmeiners scored the first goal in the first 8 minutes of the game. Shortly after that, Roma's P. Dybala scored a goal in the 39th minute to draw the match. After that, neither team could score a goal.  Played well in this match.

Fiorentina will host Bologna in the quarterfinal of the cup.Both teams are doing well in the league this season.They will try to show it here and honestly I see it as a match that both teams can win.Bologna is a team that likes to score goals and can score goals, no matter away or home. Fiorentina are the same way, but the football they played against Sassuolo 3 days ago was not very encouraging.In return Bologna will have a day more rest than Fiorentina.When I try to evaluate all these things I think Bologna will not lose.

Both teams have adopted an attacking style of play so they both really deserve to win. But still in every match there is only one winner and it is a difficult job to predict the outcome. We know that both teams are equal this season and even though this is a Coppa Italia match, this will not reduce the tempo of the game at all and both teams will still try to get the lead first.

I really agree with you, that in the Fiorentina vs Bologna match, both clubs are equally strong, it is difficult to predict who will advance to the next round, if you look at the Head to Head of these two clubs, Fiorentina is very superior but that was several seasons ago but in this season Bologna should not be underestimated, it seems that Bologna will be far superior in tonight's match, the prediction for this match seems to be 0-1 according to my observations in this match..

Roma played better than Atalanta and they created big pressure and many opportunities on Atalanta. They have reasons to feel disappointed about themselves with this draw and only one point after the final whistle. Their players made inaccurate shots or sometimes they decided inappropriately between making a shot or a pass to their team mate, and results are wasting good opportunities.

This draw does not help Roma to improve their ranking and with some tough matches ahead, this draw actually is not good for Roma.

[KTChampions]

I am very sure that anyone who bet on Napoli last night will definitely experience a loss and that is an unexpected result. Maybe if Napoli lost by a narrow score or drew it would still be understandable but it shows a crushing defeat for Napoli and that is the worst result they have experienced so far. Torino sealed the full 3 points at home with this victory and left Napoli unable to move at home.

Now we can better understand that Napoli are no longer as reliable as last season and this defeat clearly makes them the big team with the worst results and they have to be thrown down to 9th position in the standings. It turns out that holding the title as defending champion is not as easy as imagined and they have to mourn the endless bad results after Spalletti left. In this match, Napoli also suffered a loss after Pasquale Mazzocchi received a red card which made it easy for Torino to break through because they were only playing with 10 people.

I hope bookmakers will evaluate them according to actual results and not the status of the current champion. Maybe then there will be an opportunity to earn a little money by betting on Napoli because, after all, 9th place for them is clearly below average (to which I believe the team will return). Now they have 8 wins and 7 losses - this is a completely undeserved indicator. Even the three teams that are right behind Napoli have only 6 defeats. I don't believe that Napoli have become so bad and will not improve their results in the future.

[Majestic-milf]

The defeat was quite embarrassing because Napoli were stronger than their opponents but Napoli did not perform well enough in this match so they had to give up to Torino with a score of 3-0. This defeat made Napoli standings even worse in the standings because after this match Napoli dropped to 9th place in the standings. I think Napoli is no longer a team that other teams are afraid of, because though Napoli were so easily beaten by their opponents this season.

It's easy to say that other teams don't find them a threat after that game against Torino and I'd agree with you but at the same time, I'd say it's a bit early to conclude that. The league is still fresh and they can dust themselves back up to the Napoli we know. It would be difficult though but nothing is beyond achieving when you add the right amount of determination and consistency to it.

Well, in my opinion, Napoli will find it difficult to achieve their target of finishing in the top 4 because the distance between the points and the top 4 teams is getting further after losing to Torino. Maybe if Napoli fails again this season to finish in the top 4, I think Napoli management will not hesitate to fire Walter Mazzarri.

Honestly, I'm quite unimpressed by their performance and to think that their draw against Monza will give them the wake up call they needed to punish Torino, instead you find them losing to them and I will say the fault is from the coach as well as the players. Walter Mazzari did the best he could but the players seemed to play like children and I began wondering if this was how they meant to carry the title.
The club management will have to exercise patience with Mazzari as he hasn't fully adapted to the club. There are some coaches who at the start of their debut, begin bringing in good results but others are slow and I feel that's the case for Walter Mazzari.

[makishart]

Lukaku has shown his importance for Roma as their main striker but Roma needs to use Belotti and Azmoun better and more regularly. Dybala and Lukaku won't be able to carry their attacking system in a long season especially a very sensitive player like Dybala. He can get injury any time and usually he needs a little bit long time for recovery.

Yes I agree with you, Romero Lukaku has proven to be a very valid player and a valid professional
Without him Roma wouldn`t be so far ahead, clearly a big question mark opens up for next year: if I remember correctly the loan is for 1 year only. Big question for next year.

Many people were underestimating this guy but i do believe lukaku can play better under the right coach. There were many coaches were doubting him but roma can play even better after having him in the club. The main problem if lukaku has only 1 year contract remaining. This is also making the situation even worst for the roma caused by it may be missing one of best player. Lukaku may be back again to the chelsea but i have heard that if roma will be trying to make him as permanent player. I would to see him stay much longer in the club.
Roma needs to opentalk with chelsea to discuss lukaku's future. His price may be a bit expensive as chesea will not be willing to lose its money as well.

Inter and Juventus still in -2 difference. Napoli go down in 28 points! I not believe..

Both Juventus and Inter Milan are putting in a lot of effort to ensure that they continue to play well. Both teams are capable of winning the league title, but Inter Milan is the clear favourite because no team has defeated them thus far this season. Juventus is also playing well and is ahead of Inter Milan by a few points, but I still don't think they can win the league title.

Regarding Napoli, I don't think they can win any trophies this season because it is very certain that they will be unable to do so. Last season, Napoli was the favourite team in the serie A league, but this season, they really let people down with their play; they are the team that didn't sell out many players and even their best players don't look good. Napoli is currently in ninth place in the league table, so it is not even safe to say that they will be in the Europa League.

Next week's match which is expected to be very tight is AC Milan vs Roma.
In the last five meetings in Serie A, AC Milan has a better record than Roma because Milan managed to win 3 times and the rest ended in a draw, and also if we judge from the odds in the match where AC Milan is around @2.20 and Roma is around @3.40 then the chance Milan as the home team is good enough to be able to get 3 points and Roma looks like it will only be possible to get 1 point in this match because their performance is not good enough this season even compared to last season they are not better, but Roma must try to get the best results because their position will be further away from the European zone because currently they only occupy eighth position behind Atlanta and Lazio and are also closely followed by Napoli, and if we compare the teams that Napoli will face, it is very possible that Roma will drop to ninth position because it will be difficult to achieve points in the match against Milan later, Mourinho will probably play more defensively and rely on counter attacks to get even one point in the match.

Between Milan and Roma, it's either one team wins or it ends in a draw. Both teams have had quite a good record this season and they're sure going to be challenging to themselves, keeping the odds for the game aside, Roma with the lesser chance of winning as predicted can still call a shot in the game too. But it sure going to be very tough for them in beating Milan that's currently one of the best if not the best team in the Serie A this season.

 Milan will be the host, they had a good game in their last match and they won too which is an extra boost to their confidence for the Roma game. And for Roma, they also had a good game in their last match and so they've got good players in their squad that can match the strength of Milan too. For the two teams, it'll only be fair that both sides share a point at the end but if one team wins, then it'll be an extra push for the team.

[bangjoe]

I also believe Mourinho will play a defensive strategy to deal with pressure from Milan players. Mourinho usually does that and if it is executed well by the players, the strategy can be successful. Roma has Lukaku and Dybala in attack. Mourinho might be able to use this to implement a quick counterattack strategy.
and the result depends on Milan's situation on the field. If they attack too openly, it could have bad consequences if Roma succeeds in counterattacking. Lukaku is still sharp enough to score goals.

I feel doubtful about Maurinho in this match to get a victory, considering AC Milan has players who are quite reliable, yes even though we know that Lukaku and Dybala will exert their strength, but Ac milan also has Giroud, Pulisic and Rafael in their attack line which is quite reliable, Empoli in yesterday's match was quite embarrassed by Ac milan with a score of 3-0 without reply.

It is likely that Maurinho will urge the match to share points or end the game with a draw, but Ac Milan is still in a position to pursue and maintain its third position in the standings, although draws and losses are not things that will change its position.

Even though Roma have a good team, in my opinion they don't have the strength to beat Milan at San Siro. In the last few games Milan have regained awareness of their strengths and have never made a mistake again. Roma will certainly play to at least try for a draw but it is highly difficult for that to happen, but on the 14th we would know the verdict of the match

yes maybe we can judge on both sides of this team AS Roma and AC Milan from what we have seen in the previous few matches to determine the chances and potential of the existing data.

We don't know what the result will be on the 14th for this match, but I'm pretty confident that Maurinho will be silenced by AC Milan on that night, maybe with a score of 2-1 is enough in my opinion.
If you're interested in predicting the result of the match, how much you might be able to predict for this match, I think it will be more interesting for us to watch the match.

This draw does not help Roma to improve their ranking and with some tough matches ahead, this draw actually is not good for Roma.

If you think Roma's game was better than Atalanta, I think that's wrong, Roma conceded first than Atlanta. I saw that in this match Roma's attack still looked very bad, and the team's performance also looked less consistent. Especially with Lukaku, he was unable to make a good contribution to his game and failed to take advantage of the good opportunity he had to score a goal against Atalanta. If Roma had not received a penalty kick, perhaps Roma would have lost this match.

It's a shame that Roma were able to draw. In fact, if Roma could take advantage of the opportunities that occurred in the Atalanta goal, maybe Roma could win, because there were lots of opportunities created and these opportunities were wasted by the attackers and as a result no goals were scored. With a draw, Roma failed to equal points with Atalanta. Roma's next match is against Milan, I think it will be very difficult for Roma to win the match against Milan..

Without him Roma wouldn`t be so far ahead, clearly a big question mark opens up for next year: if I remember correctly the loan is for 1 year only. Big question for next year.

Romelu Lukaku has entered a new chapter in his career, he has developed rapidly since coming under Jose Mourinho. His status as a season long loan player means that his time with Roma will not last long unless Chelsea agree to extend his loan period or Roma buy him permanently from Chelsea. Roma was very lucky to be able to get the services of Romelu Lukaku, he immediately received praise from the Olimpico public in his first season because of the goals he produced for Roma.
Roma needs to maintain consistent performance to improve its position in the standings. Roma attack line has started to improve since Lukaku arrival, Mourinho needs to make the back line stronger with the discipline of his players in maintaining the defensive area.

Yes, I can also admit that Lukaku has made quite good improvements during his time at Roma, but I previously knew that this was nothing new, but previously Roma had been in Serie A for a very long time so he had already mastered the talent and readiness when he had to compete in Serie A. Again, but I agree with you that Roma front line is quite good. Lukaku collaboration with DYBALA will be more solid and replacement of old players with new players must be done in the midfielders and defense players to provide greater strength and balance with the front line.
Because several times I have seen that Roma always has weaknesses in the defensive line and can always concede goals and I see from the statistical data in the points table from 20 matches that Roma conceded 24 times and this is not a good result for me.
Maybe it's time for Mourinho to work harder to get free players from the transfer market because management doesn't seem to be able to spend a lot of money and Mourinho has to work hard to develop players to be very strong but it's a little impossible even though he has Lukaku but if the defense is weak it's the same as not useful.

In fact, AS Roma played at home and also had better statistics compared to Atalanta but unfortunately, AS Roma still failed to get full points in this home match. Moreover, conceding first at the beginning of the match I think is still a bad result for AS Roma even though the match ended in a draw with both teams getting 1 point. But yes, with the factors that AS Roma have in this match, I think AS Roma can still win but yes, the fact remains that it is not easy for AS Roma to win at home against Atalanta who at least have quality in the same level.

[masulum]

Tomorrow, Milan must play in the Coppa Italia against Atalanta. This is a good match for AC Milan to prepare to face AS Roma in Serie A. Milan needs to win in both of these competitions. Even though the Coppa trophy is only a minor trophy, Milan has not won the Coppa Italia competition for quite a long time already. I think winning this match will help Milan have better prepared to compete against AS Roma. We know from the standings they are far below AC Milan's ranking. However, in this match, Roma was able to play aggressively to get even just a single points. So, Milan must be have a good preparation to maintain their position on standings.

Roma is now regaining their form and did performed impressively in yesterday's game, they will only need to add some level of consistency to their performance if they want to continually get better and climb up the table again but then the draw yesterday was of no much impact on their position on the table.

Roma needed a win from that match and they did played like a team that was expecting to win at the end of the game but then it seemed like they were not just luck that day, Atlanta didn't make it an easy game for them but they did performed even better than Atlanta did all through the game from the first to the second half, Roma had a better possession of the ball than Atalanta did they even made much more attempts then Atlanta and all other stats were mostly in favour of Roma much more than it was in favor of Atalanta so it could be said Roma had a hard day.

Juventus is still trying hard to continue to catch up with Inter in the title race and it is true that Juventus almost lost 2 points in this match but it turns out that Juventus was able to make a good comeback in the last minute through Dušan Vlahović's kick which resulted in a goal and became a hero for Juventus in this match. I didn't expect that Juventus seemed to have a little difficulty in this match because in the Italian Cup match, Juventus was able to beat Salernitana with an amazing score, but unfortunately Juventus couldn't repeat this opportunity to increase Juventus' goal productivity in Serie A.
In my opinion, Dušan Vlahović played well in this match because he provided 1 goal and 1 assist if it weren't for him, Juventus might have gone home with only 1 points.

They were quite lucky with it, and I think it is going to be a full season like that, Juventus trying to catch up, be close, or maybe if Juventus gets ahead, then Inter trying to catch up, these two clubs look like they will stay close to each other all season long. I believe that's what makes this season fun, last year wasn't that much fun, Napoli got ahead of everyone so quickly and stayed there that we knew they would be champions even after first half of the season ended.

So, we should reconsider this all, I think it may look a little different and I believe that they are going to do a lot better. I should hope that the result would be as good as they hope it would be and we could have fun watching these two teams fighting it off.

Romelu Lukaku has exceeded my expectations in Roma. But his performance in the game against Atlanta was not encouraging. He contributed little to the game and wasted an opportunity that would have made them get a second goal. Jose Mourinho has indeed used some of the few talents he has in the club effectively and efficiently. However, I doubt if the current team will be able to win any trophy with the recent performance. The January transfer is an opportunity for the club to buy new players that will keep the team in good shape to compete for trophies.    

In fact, AS Roma played at home and also had better statistics compared to Atalanta but unfortunately, AS Roma still failed to get full points in this home match. Moreover, conceding first at the beginning of the match I think is still a bad result for AS Roma even though the match ended in a draw with both teams getting 1 point. But yes, with the factors that AS Roma have in this match, I think AS Roma can still win but yes, the fact remains that it is not easy for AS Roma to win at home against Atalanta who at least have quality in the same level.

Roma misused many of the chances they had and they have to take the one point in good faith. Sadly Coach Jose was shown a red card which means that he would not be on the stand to give the command in the important game against AC Milan.

For the two teams, it'll only be fair that both sides share a point at the end but if one team wins, then it'll be an extra push for the team.

First of all, Milan is currently doing better. So I think they will have a better mentality going into this match. And the other thing is, they are going to play in home conditions. So in my opinion they should be the winner of this match. And if we look at Roma we will see that they are not as consistent as Milan right now. And them playing in away conditions, that is also going to be a big problem. I don't think it is going to end in a draw. Unless Roma goes for a draw from the start to the finish. One thing that is pretty interesting is that Milan has conceded a lot of goals in this season so far. So even if they win this, this will probably not be a clean sheet for them.

Both teams are capable of winning the league title, but Inter Milan is the clear favourite because no team has defeated them thus far this season.

Napoli is currently in ninth place in the league table, so it is not even safe to say that they will be in the Europa League.

Juventus is working very hard and in a convincing way, we can`t say the same for Milan, I see them limping and not convincing either in their play or in their results. Napoli, well, for me they don`t even reach the cups this year, i mean cup`s zone (cause points).
