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...

no, I don't understand them either, luck here and there with picks

looking at Calcio, Lazio should be closest to what I understand, but they are also sneaking with some funny results, but hoping to see Provedel now benched (although it is not going to happen), and Maximiano on goal

Unfortunately , Lazio only made a draw today and this team are not looking fresh at all and losing important points in game after game. Lazio also had the pitch advantage and also a comfortable 2-0 score and they couldn't keep it until the end as my fellow country player Razvan Marin managed to score the equalizer that made Empoli score important points today.

Napoli won today and they played amazing and nothing like last game of them and they could increase the gap if Ac.Milan won't win tonight against As.Roma , a game that starts in 15 minutes.

I am not even gonna comment on Lazio, they ruined too many of my tickets and I am only considering them as both to score team. Never placing money again on them after they lost 5:1 to Mityland in Europa League with most of their top players playing.

Napoli is by far the best team in Serie A this season and they deserve the title. Yes they lost against Inter but they were solid in that game as well. I always like to see teams that play attacking football getting good results so I hope they can keep it up. And if anybody can repeat the celebrations Argentina had for lifting the WC it is Napoli supporters 

[KTChampions]

Heck. In the games La Spezia - Lecce and Milan - Roma, I expected the score to be 1-1, but in the end the first pair played 0-0, and the second 2-2. Quite funny because in general I guessed the outcome and the total number of goals for these games exactly.
I don’t know what will happen in tomorrow’s games, but so far this is one of the most successful tours for me (Serie A is harder for me than all other leagues to predict).

[buwaytress]

Yay Atalanta and Verona, 2 much needed close points to keep me... in 14th hahaha

@KTChampions And probably my worst of all (has it been 3 or 4 seasons already Trofo?). I don't even know what I'm doing these days heh.

@casperBGD Should have paid attention to your post earlier, Lazio did indeed do the funny and threw away 2 points. Game was turning out so well for me too.

P.S. Match highlight I saw earlier spelled Ciro's name as Cyrus several times. Never seen that before, and it was Italian sounding commentators too...

[morvillz7z]

Harkorede is currently atop the Serie A pool and given how crowded it is, we may see a new leader every other week, first six places within 3-4 points of each other.

A yellow cap for me, lol...a rare sight, as i haven't had a good round in months. It had the potential to be my best round ever, but Lazio and both Milan teams had to stink it up deep in injury time. 

Napoli vs. Juventus highlights the next round...should be a good one. The best offense vs. the best defense, Juve hasn't conceded a goal in 8 consecutive league matches.

Before the final game between Bologna and Atalanta, I was at the 4th position, If you've not mentioned me I wouldn't have noticed to be honest, It's really going to probably be a race until the final week.

Napoli vs. Juventus highlights the next round...should be a good one. The best offense vs. the best defense, Juve hasn't conceded a goal in 8 consecutive league matches. 

I wouldn't be surprised if Juventus manages to win the game, Juventus are also the least scoring team of the top 6 team in the league, so I can't see beyond 1-Nil or 0-0 score line from that fixture.

[buwaytress]

Harko, sitting at the top, not bad. I have to start remembering now who's following who and who's good so I can sidebet on them next season. I'm doing awful across the board. Want to blame my busy schedule but should probably just admit I'm crap.

Day after tomorrow's big game (edit, I thought today was Thursday haha). BTTS for sure? or Juve 1-0 @Trofo?

You never know what happens to a team after they lose a no-lose streak!

[slaman29]

I know Coppa is not Serie A but I hate Inter so much right now. Amazing yellow caps and amazing contention in this pool, it's strangely the pool I am highest in and the one I know the least amount about.

Or maybe these days nothing is strange.

If you're feeling bad, here is something to cheer you up

congrats on top position, it is a real show up there, 3.5 points between first and sixth (I am that sixth)

looking at next rounds, is this the end for Napoli? just finish 0:1 and point difference is @4 points, with a lot to play, and Juventus in better position regarding morale and experience?
and everything is possible on Friday night in Calcio

[Trofo]

I know Coppa is not Serie A but I hate Inter so much right now.

And that is why I don't bet on cup competitions. I hate the fact that favorite can pass after extra time or penalties. If I lost my ticket because of them, I want them out of competition at least

I really hope Napoli will have what it takes to win against Juventus. They are playing much better football and I would really like them to top the league. I am thinking of backing Napoli pre match but if it stays 0:0 until minute 80 I am putting more money on Juve win  The pattern has started to emerge.

[buwaytress]

PL Guru Saint-loup Hoody Hoo not sure all of your names in forum but you guys haven't put in your picks yet for the night's biggest game. Probably check all your La Liga and EPL too -- all playing tonight.

I know I should just let it be since you're Top 5 and I need to catch up (haha) but you know, I'm nice.

[KTChampions]

Heck. Di Maria ruined my accurate prediction (2-0). Judging by the game, I'm even unlikely to get 1.5 points, since most likely in the second half we will see a few more goals scored. It is a pity that Juventus played one goal so quickly - if the first half ended with a score of 2-0, then everything would be clear to everyone, but now we are waiting validol in the second half.

After all, nobody will get more than 1 point from this game and there was no validol ending. That Di Maria goal wasn't factor at all. Napoli was simply on fire today and another brilliant performance from Kvaratskhelia. I had Napoli ML with bet boost @2.09, but after their game with Inter I didn't had that much confidence. And especially after looking in recent Juve results, it was very difficult to predict such big outcome. Today they conceded more goals than maybe in last 10 official games combined.

Kvaratskhelia destroyed Juve today, he was doing whatever he wanted on that left flank.

I am mad at myself for not putting some money on Napoli today, they were playing much better football whole season and Juve was actually quite poor in last few games which they won 1:0. But it is Juve and I am always hesitant to bet against them.

[morvillz7z]

Juve had only kept one clean sheet in their previous visits to Napoli in the past 25 years, so keeping one tonight (despite their run since October) was never an option imo. Juve looked like a random Serie C / Primavera team taking on the big boys lol. That was a statement game for Napoli and their title aspirations. Osimhen and Kvaradona are a joy to watch, currently ranking first and second in Serie A in goals + assists. I sincerely hope they keep their top striker throughout the winter transfer window and make a deep run in the Champions League, that would be special for them and their fans. Also, nothing better than cashing in on Juve's misery

Nice wins mate, congratulations!

I agree that Juventus have got a little significant run for themselves and their defensive record over that stretch is one worthy of acknowledging, but I still believed that they were going to be of no match against Napoli, It was a total demolition and that has probably sent Juventus a couple of steps back towards their reincarnation.

Osimhen is an absolutely fantastic, I really hope Napoli will keep him for a long period, because I think he's going to struggle a lot in any other league if he leaves Napoli too early.

congrats, good guess

I didn't expected this kind of match, Napoli scored early and played all round much better
didn't know about statistics for Juve in Naples, but obviously it is no coincidecence that they cannot keep clean sheet there

this one could get Napoli to title, huge booster for morale

[darxiaomi]

First to all, its any news about tomahawk?

About yesterday game, i didnt expect that masterclass by Napoli, i think the people from Napoli doesnt  feel this power from the time when Maradona destroy Juventus in the 80.

The georgian guy level its incredible.

Juventus' winning streak gave the impression that they were back in business, but objectively speaking they won difficult victories, mostly with minimal scores, even against outsiders. So yesterday's defeat put everything in its place.
The number of goals conceded, of course, surprised - before that, Juventus conceded 7 goals in 17 games 

By the way, Milan - what kind of losers? Another loss of points and now Napoli are ahead by 9 points! I don't know what has to happen for them to miss out on the championship.
