I'm actually surprised no one has picked Sassuolo to score over 2 goals, they are like a mini-version of Atalanta, putting goals in bunches.

Well, my knowledge about Serie A isn't good enought to know it, I haven't saw many Sassuolo games.

It won't be postponed! Napoli will be handed a 3-0 defeat if they don't show up for the match tonight. Anyone picked 2-0/3-0 Juve, congrats.

Oh, that's strict rules. So, now I have no other choice than change my prediction to 3:0. Initially I had 1:1 draw
If Google translate don't lie, Napoli press officer already confirmed that team didn't travelled to Torino:

Meanwhile Juve just announced their starting squad:

It's official that the match won't be played, but all I'm seeing from various sources is that the match has been postponed 😔 and then there's some tweet about Juventus asking the Serie A FA to overlook the official rulings.

[morvillz7z]

What an absolute shitshow with the Juventus - Napoli match, i can't believe this is happening in a top European league.

So they are trying to put the blame on Naples Health Authority:

The league say the Naples Health Authority (ASL) has failed to take into account the health protocol agreed between the country's health and sports ministry and the football authorities.

How do you think Superbru will grade this game, 3:0 with points for those who picked Juventus or they will mark it as postponed?

I should probably start locking my predictions minutes before the match and not before, right now i do it Friday afternoons with all the other fantasy shit that i have going.

edit;

I really didn't know this, thanks a bunch!!!

You don't need to lock your picks it is done automatically when each game starts....<I can still change the result to favor Napoli, you can't ...>

I believe Superbru will leave the game open until final decision has been made by Italian football association.

You don't need to lock your picks it is done automatically when each game starts. If the game gets postponed and played 2 months from now and let's say Juve is missing half of their squad I can still change the result to favor Napoli, you can't I only lock picks here and there when I intend to place a high stake bet on some match so I can see what other people think regarding my choice.

Well, I got a nice 3 full points for one 1-1 game so you should be happy, Viking;)

I got all my bets on two bookies returned to me from the Juve/Napoli postponement, guess the same for all of you? Even my fairlay one was returned (p2p) so I guess it's the same everywhere. Shame, was also hoping for big money if Napoli actually showed up with club staff to play bwahaha.

Glad that you caught at least something honestly, didn't want to see you crash and burn   I't is a shame Juve match didn't happen. I was hoping for 3 points there and Napoli win, but this shitshow happened.

Thank you haha, it was a nice ride all the same, and I thought the Parma and Bologna games I might have had a chance too, looks like we are seeing the mid table teams return to their mean of low scoring games already;)

Covid shitshow for sure!

Hey guys, new games are in front of us and we have some mighty fine encounters in Italy this week. It all starts with Napoli - Atalanta which should be a beauty to watch with goals galore on both sides. After that we have Milan derby and that one will probably be a little more defensive oriented but I am still expecting goals.

Don't forget to make the picks, there is still a couple of you without predictions
@big_daddy, @LTU_btc, @morvillz7z

Actually when I think about it, it is better for @morvillz7z to forget about his picks, more chances for us to catch him

[big_daddy]

I've done mine

wow, Napoli-Atalanta and il Derby della Madonnina Inter - Milan

both completely unpredictable, with loads of goals to be scored, I'm giving an advantage to Atalanta and Inter

Same here. I gave Atalanta obvious advantage, I initially set 3-5 as a score, but downgraded to 2-4, but I believe it will be a 2 goal difference for Atalanta. On the Milano derby I went for Milan, despite logic says Inter should have an advantage.

I have the same prediction
but for Inter, 4-2 

Atalanta can win this one even with a handicap, I donno why I'm giving them a high possibility to win easily this match, cause Napoli is a fantastic team as well, it's just a feeling

[morvillz7z]

I'm just wondering if the international break will not play a role in this week's fixtures, especially for Atalanta who had most of its players busy with 2 some even three matches, Zapata and Muriel for Colombia, Gomez didn't play for Argentina but traveled with the team. Gosens, Pasalic, de Roon, Hateboer all logged big minutes. I don't wanna go all the way and say that Napoli will win, but that's a perfect opportunity for Atalanta to lose some points. I have the match as a draw...but i wouldn't be surprised if the team from Bergamo wins by 2 or more, they are just that good.

Will Superbru award any points for Juventus - Napoli match? As you probably know Juve have been given 3 points...

In addition, Napoli have been punished with a one-point deduction for failing to turn up for the game at Allianz Stadium.

^ Some extra motivation for Napoli to win tomorrow.

^ Some extra motivation for Napoli to win tomorrow.

And wins with a massive handicap, well, congrats Napoli
Ibracadabra is 2:0 against Inter... fckn shit... this guy will never stop
Good for him, but, come’on Inter 

[Harkorede]

It's really weird that I'm the only one who backed Napoli to win against Atalanta, I never expected such a big win from Napoli tbvh but I just expected them to win, the one is really important, since I'm getting it alone 

Inter Milan, ffs 

[morvillz7z]

Eh, i wish i went with my gut and picked Napoli to win, instead of the draw...Atalanta did not look like themselves today, 4 goals conceded in 20 mins.

I couldn't go against Juventus either, despite the high odds and missing Ronaldo, i guess nobody is getting points here either.

So it was me and -CryptoViking- who got the Milan derby right, 3 points on top of that having nailed the exact result, damn! All i can say is thank you Lukaku for missing some good chances. 

Do you think we get more of them surprises tomorrow?

[tyKiwanuka]

I guess the bookies are having a good party today Germany was probably bad for them (Dortmund, Bayern, Leipzig, Leverkusen won), but in ITA1, ENG1 and ESP1 there were loads of surprises. Real, Barca, Liverpool, Chelsea, Juve all failed to win and some 2nd tier favourites (Sevilla, Lazio, Inter) also layed an egg.

I managed to get 1 point overall in the three pools I am participating

Me too. At least I'm not the only one who performed so shitty today. Well, maybe Napoli win over Atalanta wasn't huge surprise. It's more surprising how did they won it.
And I remember that I had fears when Zlatan moved to Milan that he is already too old for such high level and that it will be big disappointment. But I'm so happy that I was wrong.

Hehe, yeah I watched every Milan's game this season so I knew they have the ability to take Inter. I didn't base my prediction on Ibra though, but on very good flow of the ball they have and the way their midfield is performing. I predicted that result a week ago, can't remember when did I lock it precisely.

As for other matches, lots of results that didn't go as mainstream thought it would Udinese is biggest surprise for me to be honest. I didn't have balls to go against Juve and Lazio despite my intuition.

yeah, i thought that i know Calcio better, but the result is obvious, i should skip this league on all my betting tickets
each round is getting worse with my predictions, but will keep trying to do better in pool, and then maybe include Calcio in betting, but it is paused for now

[-CryptoViking-]

Very tight round, such a low scoring for all of us, the national break affected a lot of teams not only in Serie A, but overall.Plus 2 weeks break didn't help us either with keeping track of what happened with players that played during the break for national teams.

Congrats to hahay, round winner, whoever that is
