I see this match as an opportunity for Empoli to distance themselves from relegation zone despite Sassuolo have home record than away but with the recent record, I don't think Sassuolo have strength to withstand this game because their last five matches were very poor, they only had a draw, while Empoli are unbeaten through out their last five matches and this alone is the only hope I have for them that the courage of winning will still be with them, apart from that they have to be careful because among the five matches Sassuolo had four were all away matches and they draw when they host the remaining one.

Empoli are in top form at the moment, in their last 5 matches Empoli have not suffered a defeat and it must be admitted that their performance has improved quite rapidly at the moment and this is a significant asset for those who will visit Sassuolo's headquarters.

On the other hand, the home team Sassuolo is in a slump, they have suffered 4 defeats in their last 5 matches.

The first half was over and Empoli were temporarily ahead by 1 goal through a goal scored by Luperto in the 11th minute.
Overall, Empoli can dominate the game and it is very likely that the Empoli team can confirm their victory in this match in order to move further away from the relegation zone.

Bologna vs Verona Today's match between two teams, Bologna team played well from the beginning to the end of the game. Verona team could not score any goals in today's match due to the bad play of the Verona team players.  Team players G. Fabbian scored the 1st goal in 27 minutes and R. Freuler scored the 2nd goal in 65 minutes.

Bologna really has to play extraordinary like that at home, especially if the opponent is a team in the relegation zone and this is also very reasonable so that Bologna can aim for a top four position this season, because several other teams are also very close to it in terms of results. points at this point. If Bologna can continue to win like that in the next few matches, I think the team can be a serious obstacle to Atalanta and Roma who are also trying to get into the top four of the standings this season.

Sassuollo is the only team that managed to beat Inter Milan surprisingly this season, now their fate is very tragic after suffering another defeat to Empoli with a score of 3-2. Sassuollo is now ranked 17th in the Serie A standings, one level above the degradation zone, and has only been able to collect 20 points from the 25 matches he has played. I think if he doesn't get up soon, Sassuollo will fall into the red zone.

If you look at the match statistics, Empoli managed to achieve a dramatic victory in the 90+4 minutes, which made Sassuollo suffer even more. If Cagliari can create a miracle when facing Napoli, then Sassuollo will automatically languish in the degradation zone. A situation that must be taken very seriously, because there are fewer matches left in the future.

Bologna has managed to have an impressive result in this season especially for home matches so yes, because Bologna is playing at home against Verona who is in the relegation zone then of course Bologna still manages to win in this match. Also, the truth is that Bologna has good dominance whenever Bologna plays against Verona. Moreover, in this season Bologna and Verona really have very different results and their positions in the table are also very different. So yes, it remains easy a predictable result for a Bologna v Verona in the match, and the result is really happening for Bologna win and keeps its position well in the temporary top four.

Napoli's chances of defeat against Cagliari are slim. Cagliari is not a strong team. Napoli's performance in the last 5 matches against this team has been quite good. Out of 5 matches, Napoli won 3 and drew 2. I would say if Napoli can keep their defense strong in this match they will be able to win.

The return of Osimhen can help Napoli in next months if he won't get other injures and absent in future. Napoli generally perform bad in this season and it looks unacceptable to see a champion which has to defend Scudetto is struggling beyond not only top four, but top six.

Napoli's chance to get in top four is very small and they firstly have to aim at top six to join either UEFA Conference League or Europa League next season. When they enter top six, they can think of higher position and see how good their chance to achieve it is at that time.

Osimhen is an excellent player. He has the ability to score a lot of goals. And with the help of Osimhen, the Napoli side dominated Serie A last season. Now Osimhen is in good form. If he plays well it will be easier for Napoli to perform well overall. But if Osimhen's performance is erratic I won't expect much from Napoli this season.

Napoli's opponents in the next two matches are relatively weak. The team will play against Cagliari and Sassuolo. These two teams are relatively weak opponents. If Napoli cannot return to form in this match, they will not be able to perform well in the upcoming matches.

Sassuolo lost once again.

They are now in a desperate situation, for the 1st time in a decade they can be relegated to second division.

Osimhen is an excellent player. He has the ability to score a lot of goals. And with the help of Osimhen, the Napoli side dominated Serie A last season. Now Osimhen is in good form. If he plays well it will be easier for Napoli to perform well overall. But if Osimhen's performance is erratic I won't expect much from Napoli this season.

Napoli's opponents in the next two matches are relatively weak. The team will play against Cagliari and Sassuolo. These two teams are relatively weak opponents. If Napoli cannot return to form in this match, they will not be able to perform well in the upcoming matches.

He is an excellent player without a doubt, but his biggest problem at the moment is that the whole team and him included is not playing the best they can. This is all about mutual benefits and if the rest of the team plays at their peak, then Osimhen will get all the chances he needs to show his best. Right now there are too many games where it feels as if he is lost and isn't sufficiently integrated into the game.

The way Osimhen scored that goal against Barcelona was impressive. I think this was very typical for him, a prime example of his quality and how he can use his body and the technique to solve this 1 vs. 1 situation and score fabulously.

This is why I think that the time has come for Osimhen to leave. They are out of the Coppa Italia and have no chance to win the Scudetto. They are12 points behind the Champions League qualification. Maybe they can achieve something great in the Champions League, but apart from that there are not many reasons for him to stay if some club is willing to pay the transfer fee, which I think is set at 120 million euros.

If Bologna can continue to win like that in the next few matches, I think the team can be a serious obstacle to Atalanta and Roma who are also trying to get into the top four of the standings this season.

Bologna's journey this season is unpredictable and they are moving fast in the hunt for a champions league place. The wins they always get have produced commensurate results and they just have to wait for it all to end in a few months. Atalanta and Roma are indeed a serious threat for them because as we can see, everything will slide against each other every week and whoever loses will be left even further behind.

Juventus are still very good but their performance in 90 minutes of matches is still experiencing some problems including in the problem of productivity which is not very good.
This still has to be improved if their goal is to compete with Inter because after all with the conditions they are experiencing now honestly competing with Inter in the midst of poor finishing conditions is not very good and maybe even this cannot be done.

The situation for Inter now is that they're very comfortable in Serie A and if their form doesn't drop I honestly doubt whether they'll be able to catch them or not because at the moment the only hope in the competition is for Inter to have a dip in form and a poor result in a match. If that doesn't happen then it's definitely Inter who get the Scudetto this season.

The season hasn't been quite adventurous for Juventus as they've been indicted to not taking part in the Europa League. They've been focusing their strength on the domestic Serie A league and they've been doing excellently well in it. They've even got a greater chance of being far ahead in the standings than the likes of Inter Milan because for others, after the league games, they'd still have to play the continental tournament and this will definitely affect players' physical capabilities too. Although inasmuch as a weighty gap is expected of them, Inter Milan has made it difficult because they've also been in their best form.Well to talk about trophies fo be lifted this season by Juventus, they still have two options to take one or all from. At thesame time, it'll not be hard to stay in shape to earn a ticket to next season's European contests.

 They've been able to play resiliently and the results so far is fit to help them earn this ticket but the difficulty they may face this season is the trophy of the Serie A, the top contenders won't let it slip away from them, they're in their own way and end putting streanous efforts to ensure that they get the maximum number of points to keep the gaps and help them win the trophy. There's still time to make a difference but they themselves know it's not going to be as easy as it ought to be considering the intensity in games this season. I just would advise that they focus enough strength on Copa Italia as it seems feasible enough to attain than the Serie A trophy.

[FanEagle]

Bologna definitely looks like a brand new team, I did not expected them to do this well, kudos for them to get the fourth place. Of course they have more games at hand, so they may still lose their position but it's still fine for them to be there even temporarily, it is not an easy thing to do.

I believe that the best thing to do in this case would be just making sure that we are dealing with a much better situation for them and betting accordingly. I have started to bet on their win recently and even though there were few surprises along the way, they did pretty well overall. Of course the biggest shock has been Juventus lately and lets see how they will do, it feels like it is not going to be all that easy to handle their momentum.

This victory made Bologna successfully climb to fourth place in the Serie A standings. Currently Bologna has played its 26th match, and now has 48 points, three points ahead of Atalanta. Even though Bologna has played 26 matches and Atalanta has played 24 matches. However, Bologna's opportunity to maintain the Champions League zone is still open.

The reason is that Atalanta will face tough matches in the next three matches and it is possible that they will lose points. Of the three matches that Atalanta will face, they are against AC Milan, Inter Milan and Bologna. Atalanta is likely to lose 6 points.

That would be a big jump for them and what's even better, AC Milan is playing against Atalanta, which means that Bologna will certainly be the winner of the matchday no matter how the game between Milan and Atlanta ends. Now with regards to the Champions League qualifiers I think for Bologna it would be better if AC Milan wins the game as Atalanta has two games in hand and if they win both, they could get ahead of Bologna again by quite a bit as they also have the superior goal difference. But if Milan wins, Bologna is fine as their maximum goal for this season is 4th position. But what a season played by them so far, I didn't take notice of them until I saw they are competing for the top 4.

Bologna isn't a brand new team, they usually finished the season in the middle of Serie A standings. But this season, Bologna becomes a stronger team and they are now in the top 4 of Serie A (UCL zone). I think Bologna can improve their position because the team like Napoli, AS Roma, Fiorentina, Atalanta, and Lazio are decreasing their performances during this season. And we also can't deny that the performance of Bologna players are better than the previous season.

Yes, it is just a temporary position because there are still many remaining matches. But Bologna must be proud that they could be in the top 4 of Serie A standings now. I think Bologna has the chance to stay in the top 4 because they are getting stronger. Just look at the stats of their 5 latest matches, they won all the matches. They won't be like Juventus which is getting weaker toward the end of the season.

[boltz]

Bologna is one of the oldest teams in Italy with year of debut being in 1909 so that being said , they are really a very respected team across Italy and not only.  However ,I can understand why you call them a brand new team as some players are new within the squad but some of them are playing there for years and years now so I doubt this is just pure luck from them and I would consider this is a hard working season from them but also a bit of luck as Roma , Lazio , Fiorentina are not in a great mood lately.

[Huppercase]

I see this match as an opportunity for Empoli to distance themselves from relegation zone despite Sassuolo have home record than away but with the recent record, I don't think Sassuolo have strength to withstand this game because their last five matches were very poor, they only had a draw, while Empoli are unbeaten through out their last five matches and this alone is the only hope I have for them that the courage of winning will still be with them, apart from that they have to be careful because among the five matches Sassuolo had four were all away matches and they draw when they host the remaining one.

Sassuolo did they their best, they followed Empoli like they were playing normal friendly match but Sassuolo slipped out of their hands in the extra time and because they were using much time for recovery, there wasn't enough time to equalized and they got away with it. Three point has been awarded to Empoli and get are now far little far away from relegation zone but I think this is temporary, the teams they left under are yet to play their 26th match, until their outcome before we can conclude they will not come back close to relegation again.

Napoli is experiencing one of the worst performance in the Seria A this season, how can a team that finish first place with huge gap between other teams is struggling to com back to 4, they are dipping downward the table every single week. This is the fruit of there labour I think for maltreating Osimhen for not been king of Naples just because he is black, I will be happy if I don't see them in the Champions League next season as by then Osimhen will be in another club by then if he changes his mind.

Of course the biggest shock has been Juventus lately and lets see how they will do, it feels like it is not going to be all that easy to handle their momentum.

Bologna is developing gradually and wants to ensure that they are worthy of taking part in the Champions League next season, even now Bologna has surpass behind several elite Serie A teams below them. In my opinion, Bologna position will temporarily be safe in fourth place, because Atalanta will face two tough matches, their next opponents will be AC Milan and Inter Milan. It is difficult for Atalanta to get full points when facing these two teams, therefore their position will be safe for a reasonable reason. The maximum result that Atalanta can possibly get is a draw, Atalanta needs a lot of luck to win against the duo Milan.

As a team that is on the rise, it is important for Bologna to maintain its best level so that it can continue to be consistent. Bettors confidence in their matches can increase, because it means they won't experience big worries. Apart from that, Juventus is currently going backwards, only able to achieve one win in the last five matches, so the opportunity to compete for the trophy with Inter Milan has now disappeared.

I just would advise that they focus enough strength on Copa Italia as it seems feasible enough to attain than the Serie A trophy.

Its not wrong to say that they only have a focus on Serie A but the impact of last season's internal problems is still very much felt and it will definitely be very difficult for Juventus to put that aside so that no matter how focused they are as long as their internal problems cannot be fully repaired then Juventus' performance will definitely continue to be disrupted.
We must be aware that from the beginning of the season they were always predicted to be able to keep up with the game of other big clubs and that is proven because until now they are in second place even though it seems the same as last season where they should also be in the top 4 if there is no drop in points but in the end Juventus problem remains in the quality of attack
Until now their attacking quality has been poor and 38 goals in 25 games is good but still not enough for a club as big as Juventus.
They have to make a difference if they want to talk more in terms of competition.

Cagliari vs Napoli

Cagliari chances to survive at Serie A seems very slim because until week 25 Cagliari still occupy 19th place and they have already to lost 14 times during this season with collect 19 points but i have been notice although Cagliari performance is compeletely messed up this season and they only gets 4 wins but all of those winning results is came from home matches so Napoli have to beware of Cagliari because sometimes they can performing well and make big teams get in trouble moreover Napoli performance is still unstable after several times to changing the manager

Napoli have a problem with their consistency during playing for away matches i think this one of their biggest problem why Napoli unable to defend their title and it proven from their recent records in Serie A that since November last year Napoli was unable to gets the winning results again and the recent records from Napoli is they had suffering 4 loses from 6 away matches and for today match although Napoli is the favourite but their condition is not really good because apparently Napoli players still required more time to adapt with new manager and i can see the bookmakers provide good odds for Napoli @1.88 but i am not sure this option could be the best pick for this match even my predictions is Napoli will be unable to win again and this match will ended to draw

I agree with you, but I think Napoli can beat Cagliari. Consider the big picture. Cagliari shouldnt trouble Napoli despite their inconsistencies. Cagliari is near the bottom for a reason. They havent done well against top teams. However, Napoli can challenge Cagliari even in poor form. This match could be a turning point for them with key players back and no major injuries. A win here might boost morale and help them climb the standings. Im betting on Napoli because of their history against Cagliari and because this match is a wonderful chance to get back on track.

Currently, both Napoli and Cagliari are experiencing a slump in their performance on the pitch. Given this downturn, it's challenging to confidently label either team as the clear favorite to clinch victory in the upcoming match. Comparing their recent performances, it becomes evident that predicting the outcome is no easy task. However, what I'm contemplating is that the match could possibly end in a draw, or alternatively, either team could emerge victorious. Nevertheless, my inclination leans towards Cagliari putting up a strong display, particularly considering that the match is being played on their home.

Furthermore, Cagliari precarious position in the league standings, hovering around the relegation zone, could serve as a motivating factor. Historically, some teams fighting relegation tend to step up their game in a bid to avoid demotion, thus increasing the likelihood of a spirited performance from Cagliari.

[Salahmu]

Sassuolo did they their best, they followed Empoli like they were playing normal friendly match but Sassuolo slipped out of their hands in the extra time and because they were using much time for recovery, there wasn't enough time to equalized and they got away with it.

Indeed Sassuolo tried all there possible best on that match because after conceiving the first goal they keep pushing and at the second half they were able to equalize through penalty kick and also funny enough it was not up to five minutes after they equalize and Empoli was able to score another goal through another penalty making it 2-1 against Sassuolo and because of how consistent Sassuolo has been on that match they still managed to equalize on 77 minutes of the match but it was unfortunate that they had to lose the match because of a little mistake they did if not there performance on that match was very commendable. However considering the current position of Sassuolo on the league table they really have to step up there game because they are very close to the relegation zone so if they lose two more matches I'm afraid that the possibility of them going to relegate will very certain so perhaps this is actually the right time for them to try as much as possible to remove themselves from the relegation zone.

Historically, some teams fighting relegation tend to step up their game in a bid to avoid demotion, thus increasing the likelihood of a spirited performance from Cagliari.

I think Napoli will win this match, Cagliari has no chance to win against a big team like Napoli. Napoli performed not really badly in the last 5 matches, they could win 2 matches, 2 draws, and 1 lose. Meanwhile Cagliari never won a single match, 4 losses and 1 draw only. According to the stats, it is difficult to expect a surprise in this match.

Cagliari just joined Serie A this season, it seems to return to Serie B again for the next season. It seems Cagliari failed to improve their performance in Serie A, their squad is still not in the level of the main league in Italia. It is not really surprising if they fail to get out from the relegation zone. I think Cagliari needs to strengthen their squad if they want to play again in Serie A.
