Well until now Frosinone are leading with 2 goals against Napoli ,just check the score twice

We cannot compare Frosinone with Napoli in terms of performance and results since Napoli didn't lose any of its games against this club from like 7 years ago at least but right now surprise surprise, less than 20 minutes from the end of the game and Frosinone knocked Napoli by 2 goals to 0! The score changed rapidly from goalless draw to 2 goals being scored in like 5 minutes. It is awesome how Napoli could embarrass themselves. Imagine them losing this game and being kicked from Coppa Italia by a team like Frosinone

Indeed, whatever the result of Juventus' match yesterday will only be one evaluation which is certainly very valuable for Juventus so that in the future they will do better and be more effective in winning all matches. Because after all, their main rival, Inter Milan, is currently quite consistent in winning, so if Juventus loses points again, this will have bad consequences for them. Juventus is currently still very much on fire because based on their painful experience last season, they will definitely try their best no matter what so they can compete with Inter. And the hope is to win the Schudetto title. but of course this will not be easy because Inter also feels the same, namely wanting to win the Serie A title this season

No one should underestimate Inter this season in any competition they are involved in. They were runners up in the Champions League last season when they were beaten by Manchester City and they were the third team in the Serie A standings last season. This season Inter are doing better to gain success, but no one knows for sure how far they will be able to compete in Serie A and the Champions League, especially to win the title.

The title competition in Serie A this season is just about Inter and Juventus. Milan, Bologna and Napoli will compete for safety in the Champions League places, but they could also put pressure on the leaders as they all hope for points. The competition for the Champions League zone will be tougher than the title competition, this is evident from the points earned by each team in the 16 matches so far.

Inter Milan seems to have a big target for this season, they want to win a trophy. I'm sure their main target (priority) is to win the Scudetto, UCL trophy is just a secondary priority. They are in a good condition to achieve their target because they have strong defense, creative midfielders, and productive attackers. If we compared their tactic in the previous season, Inter Milan can play more offensively/aggressively during this season. They may realize that they must improve their attacking if they want to perform better in this season.

Well, the departure of Onana seems not a big problem for Inter Milan. They have Sommer as a strong and experienced goalkeeper, it makes Inter defense be stronger. I even think they can be not as strong as now if they still keep Onana as their main goalkeeper. Also, they got good amount of money by selling Onana, it is a nice decision to send Onana to Man United.

Without their participation in other competitions this season, of course it will benefit Juventus because they will be able to focus their strength on Serie A. So if they fail in Serie A, of course Juventus will again be fasting for trophies this season. Juventus is Inter Milan closest competitor in the standings because the two teams are only 4 points apart, of course that's a fairly close distance and they can catch up if Juventus doesn't lose any more points in the upcoming matches. Especially for this season, Allegri is coaching Juventus without being busy, meaning they are not participating in the Champions League or European League because they received a penalty last season, so he must be able to take advantage of this season to win the Scudetto.

Juventus is a big team in Serie A so Inter Milan cannot consider them weak this season because if Inter lose points in the upcoming matches then their ranking will be increasingly threatened by Juventus who are in second place. It is true that Inter is stronger than Juventus this season but the season is still long which could result in many changes that will occur in the future in the standings table.

At first, I was thinking that Champions League fixtures together with League fixtures will be much for Inter Milan to lead them to dropping some points for Juventus to overtake them in the title race, but they are able to maintain their consistency in all competition and were still at the top of the Seria table.
Now that the Champions' League group stage is over, they have time to settle down and keep their consistency in order to win the League because only Juventus come close with 37 points, and for Juve to overtake them, they need to be winning all their matches including their match against Inter Milan.

Coppa A its going right now.

Only 1 game for Today and Napoli is already winning against Frosinone.

Yes, the competition will continue until the end of the season even though Inter and Juventus are the strongest candidates to win the title. Every defeat or loss of points must be paid dearly by the team fighting for the title, which means they have to try to maintain their good performance and also their winning consistency.

I don't expect Milan to win the title this season, especially when Juventus and Inter are leading with a big difference in points. Milan have lost a lot in the last two seasons, even after they won the Scudetto two seasons ago. Napoli are also not doing well after parting ways with their best coach, in fact I am sure that Napoli will fail to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season considering that Barcelona is their opponent.

Inter position at the top of the standings is not entirely comfortable because it is only 4 points behind Juventus in second place. In the second meeting there was no winner, this can be a reference that before the difference in points gets bigger, concerns continue to surround Inter. As we know, Juventus only focuses on domestic competitions, this is luck in the strict sense, Allegri has more time to analyze and prepare his team so they can perform optimally.

For Inter, they are ready to face any challenge, their target is quite clear if you look at the depth of the squad they have built this season. So far they have only lost 3 points, their goal productivity rate and conceded rate are quite good. A balanced squad depth between the lines is the key to Inzaghi success in bringing his fleet to a consistent performance, even in the UCL group phase, Inter also performed impressively by going undefeated.

Inter success in reaching the final last season allowed them to talk a lot in the transfer market, because they got big bunos. So being able to attract several players including Pavard, as well as releasing Onana to United gave them big profits. I agree with you, achieving success means making big profits and being able to build the squad sustainably, that's how the football industry works.

In fact, in Serie A that Napoli managed to beat Frosinone in the first week of this season and yes, Napoli managed to beat Frosinone with a score of 1-3 in that match. Also, at least at this moment Mazzarri is still making efforts to make Napoli consistent with good results. Therefore, because this Coppa Italia match will also be played at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona then yes, of course Napoli will continue to play well of course to get a win in this match because yes, basically Frosinone does not have good quality compared to Napoli.

Also, about for tomorrow match between Inter v Bologna I think it will be an interesting match because after all, Bologna at this moment at least has a pretty good trend too. Moreover, this is only a Coppa Italia match and usually, the top Serie A teams sometimes fail to win. So yes, if Inter are really favorites in this match and then you are not sure Inter will win, then of course you can still choose Bologna. Even if, for example, you only choose the Asian handicap option, yes, I'm sure the odds you get are still good odds too.

Inter does look like they are doing quite awesome there is no doubt about that. I am not saying that they will win the title because there are still some time to go and Juventus ain't joking around neither, just a 4 point difference could be closed at any moment so Inter has to be careful. However, if you ask me who looks like more likely than any other team then I would have to say Inter, not only they are at the top with four point difference, but they do look better and keep getting better as well.

This is why I believe that it is going to be quite the big trouble when it comes down to all of this, it has to be Inter that wins it. Plus, they had a UCL run last year, so they weren't bad and made some money, and they will make a ton of money again if they win the league this season, that's a great consistency a team really needs. If you keep getting money like that all the time, then you can build a decent team, and when you do that, you keep winning.

With the current force of Inter Milan now, I don't think they will give up the title race so easily. Moreover it is believed that most of their key players are still very much available to play their upcoming matches so definitely their squad this season is Superb and with the fact that they've given their top contender Juventus a gap of 4 points will enable them to play and win more matches in other to still continue with the lead.

It seems that this season Serie A has only created two axes in the race for the Scudetto, between Inter Milan and Juventus. AC Milan, Napoli and several other elite teams failed to disrupt Inter's consistency and put pressure on them at the top of the standings, only Juventus are expected to be able to do so. However, these efforts must be balanced with several things that Juventus needs to do, especially the depth of the squad which must be immediately increased when the January transfer window opens. Surprisingly, Napoli was thrown out of the top four of the standings, and did not expect Bologna to successfully occupy the UCL zone.

It still makes sense to reduce the point difference mathematically, because there is no guarantee that Inter can continue to win. The level of competition will continue to increase every week, even a small mistake can result in a shift in position. For now, I think everyone will agree that Inter and Juventus are strong candidates to win the Scudetto, but with many matches remaining, it is hoped that Milan, Bologna and Napoli can revive the competition for the Scudetto.

Inter, always first of top with 41, Juventus follow near.. and Milan is to 32 (9 points, mean 3 winning game if Inter lost!)

Comparing the overall performance of Juventus and Inter Milan, Inter Milan team can be said to be stronger. However, the Inter vs Juventus match was a 1-1 draw. Inter Milan's players are capable of scoring a lot of goals, while their defense is also strong. Inter Milan conceded only 7 goals this season. Juventus team on the other hand is very tactical. Juventus' performance this season has been very consistent thanks to Arteta's excellent match tactics. Even then, the Juventus team is 4 points behind Inter Milan. It will be very difficult to close this 4 point gap. Because Inter Milan's performance is very consistent now.

There are two games today and tomorrow in Coppa Italia. After qualification of Lazio and Fiorentina previously, this time Napoli will face today at home Frosinone and obviously Napoli are favourite to win with odds around 1.5 vs 5.5 for Frosinone.
Tomorrow game will be between Inter Milan and Bologna with approximately similar odds between Inter and Napoli and between Frosinone and Bologna. The first game odds are correct in my opinion but bologna odds are quite weird. Bologna aren't that bad and their latest games against Inter were challenging. In 2023, Bologna got a draw once and won in another match. I believe Inter are favourite and will win but the odds aren't attractive.

Inter are playing at their best and are still far ahead of all other teams but Juventus are very close to them and Juventus being a good team it is expected that they can overtake Inter any time. Juventus and Inter are now one another's biggest rivals and no other team is as close in terms of points as they are. For this, these two teams can be called very likely for the championship

Juventus are 4 points behind Inter Milan currently at the moment which is a big gap. Inter Milan are performing consistently and so is Juventus. But let's not forget that it's football and anything can happen. As mentioned by @babo Juventus has nothing to play other than Serie A and they are going to give it their all. I believe it's going to be an interesting fight for the Scudetto this season.

my beloved Juventus from this point of view is a tough nut to crack, it doesnt give up. Thanks also to the draw we had in the direct clash, Inter knows very well that they must not and cannot make mistakes. Otherwise we are there ready to take advantage of it.

the fact is that Juventus is doubly at fault: the players only play the Italian league, no cups
Despite this they are unable to catch up with Inter who seem absolutely committed to winning the Scudetto and why not, also the Champions Cup of Champions League
This year seems truly unstoppable to me
