Yes, this topic needs some love  
Inter - Napoli should be a derby but I belive Napoli is much closer to win here. When I remember how out of form were Inter forwards in world cup I just don't see Inter making enough chances to even score a goal. Lukaku and Martinez probably need about 20 chances combined to get on score sheet  

Agree with your thoughts. After all, league table probably reflects who is who this season and Inter is far away from Napoli isn't without a reason. I'm going to put some money on Napoli, odds for them looks nice, though, bookmakers are giving little advantage for Inter.

Don't forget to make your picks guys. This game week has an early kick off time which is a bit strange for midweek games unless it is a holiday and I don't think it is a holiday today in Italy.

Anyway just about 4 hours left and some of you are still missing predictions. Unfortunately can't see who exactly on mobile to ping you here.

Yes really strange also for me, here in Argentina the first game began at the 8.30 AM, but i made the picks yesterday.

Im not so active here because im so in the bottom in this pool. And i have to say im not seeing Serie A so much, for me its by far one of the worst big leagues in this moment.

I hope this changes for next season

Just checking resulta, no watching for me until next week... Atalanta just cannot save themselves, can they?

Pretty sure I made all my picks already some time back, BTTS heaven as usual hm?

I will help you out then with a bit of graphic commentary. Juve back to their old antics, playing like shit, getting their woodwork hit a couple of times and then free kick in 90+ minutes. And of course they score it trough the wall and from woodwork. And just to mention in addition to hitting posts their opponents also had 2 goals disallowed.

Juve back to what they were doing best in the past. Don't think I am salty cause of the result, I actually had Juve for win in the pool and placed a bet live on them since I had a feeling how it will finish

someone had to win, all other "favorites" except Milan didn't get all three points
maybe it is due to Italy missed WC, so they could do something else last two months, and be totally unprepared for season continuing

regarding Napoli and Inter, Napoli should be closer to win, they really showed some great football prior to WC, hopefully they will retain form and get the title, that they are chasing for years

Such poor round for all us. Trofo and Saint-loup wins Yellow Cap with just 9 points. Congrats! I thought that with just 6.5 points I will drop, but seems that my main chasers got even worse round.
Inter won against Napoli 1:0. Probably isn't surprise. Can't comment much about game because I didn't saw from start till the end and I jumped between this and Barca game. Just want to say word about Lukaku miss - it brings back World Cup vibes. Ok, it wasn't 100% chance like against Croatia, but still

I have to say, i dont like what i see today in the comeback of this league, really poor performance by all the teams, Juventus really strugling against Cremonese, Napoli coming back really bad and losing their invictus.

Lazio.... cant shoot to goal after being behind in the score and finally losing against Lecce, Roma wining but in the second half making 0 effort to make another goal, Bologna anothe fiasco.

Only Inter play really good and beat Napoli.

The loss to Inter by Napoli came more as reality check to inform Napoli that the league is far from over just yet, Napoli were yet to concede a loss until that bullet header from Edin Dzeko brought them back down to earth and humble beginnings.

I really don't agree that the win came from Inter being the better team over the course of the game, as they score the goal from their only shot on target, although they were able to create one or two more chances.

Lecce deserved to win the game, if you considered their performance of the 2nd half, they were the better team for that 45 minutes and got their duly deserved reward for it.

I did not watch whole Inter - Napoli game but in parts that I have seen, Napoli was much better side. Granted they had to show more since they were losing the game.

At least Serie A has unpredictability going on for them, we could have 4th different league winner in last 4 seasons. No other top league has that. Granted, before that it was all Juve

Haha thanks man, always appreciate reading through posts like this when I don't have TV. I honestly thought Napoli win was great value too, when I saw the odds favouring Inter, but I guess the bookies knew better and I had no idea of lineups when I placed the bets last week.

Agree this league's become so much fun, and dare I say, Juve's fall started with Ronaldo?

[darxiaomi]

I dont see the first half of Inter-Napoli, but when i start seeing the game Napoli has the ball but make nothing with that, and all the attacks of Inter seems like can end in goals.

Its the first time i see this Napoli dont being sharp in the offensive.

Inter won against Napoli 1:0.

yeah, one can simply not forget about Dzeko, he is proving his quality whenever needed, probably one of most underrated players
and round was really bad, a lot of surprises, have slide from fourth to fifth place, but it could be worse with these amount of points that I got

nevertheless, next round is fast approaching, we have one/two rounds that are irregular prior to set back into classic weekly schedule

[slaman29]

What do you guys think about a multibet of Inter, Juventus and Fiorentina today? I have not been doing well recently and my picks have let me down in familiar leagues so maybe time to bet on blind favorites.

On Sportsbet it is almost 4.8x, so I will take all three but mix with Spain and England games to do the insurance + boost option

[buwaytress]

∆ Inter and Fiorentina yes, Juve I would go for a half time win, just don't trust them to defend any lead they get right now. But yeah, if I get home in time today, I would add all those on an acca for sure.

Fiorentina already having a single goal against Sassuolo, so that's already looking pretty safe, while I'd expect Inter to get walk in the park against Monza too.

I'm still not all convinced about Juventus, I know they have a good streak going on but they've only just been scraping by with these wins, and playing against Udinese will be a tough task, I don't think the game will produce more 2 goals, I would have gone for Under 2.5 for my bet.

Juve is back to what gave them all those titles and why heaps of football fans can't stand them. They don't play particularly well but they keep 0:0 until minute 80 or even later and then score one goal. I actually watched them last time and today and I am picking 1:0 for Juve from now on whenever it seems like possible results. Can't believe I am actually the only one with exact score for this match. It was the only score prediction in the whole game week that I was confident to make.

congrats on your pick
TBH, rarely watching Calcio, especially since Cagliari was relegated last season, and Maximiano is warming the bench in Lazio, so this is a good info
didn't pay attention, saw that Juve is in winning strike, but yeah, 1:0 score as in top times, when title was theirs even before the season start

they are now back into title fight, Napoli will have to bring their best to stay on top

Despite the fact that I would bet on Under 2.5 goals without any form regret, I just felt somehow to have gone with a 2-0 victory, but that's to buttress my confidence in the producing less than 3 goals.

Inter that was supposed to be the most comfortable ML bet to have in the Serie A for Saturday imo, they actually blew it at the very last moment, and Monza even still had a decent chance in final moment to have gotten the win.

So it appears. I thought that late streak wouldn't happen and thought they were good for a HT lead at best, but it does seem like Old Lady is back. Will need at least a couple more games like that to convince me though, but well done for you.

Salernitana's the team I can't figure out even though they keep telling me with results I have to start taking them seriously -- seems like only Trofo, casper and handful of others understand them now...
