Yes indeed, I believe there seems to be no more chance for Napoli to be able to defend the Scudetto because yes, with Napoli's current situation that is not entirely good. Moreover, it seems that Napoli's new coach is also not entirely appropriate to overcome the problems experienced by Napoli at this time. Therefore, it will certainly take time for Mazzarri to be able to provide a good performance for Napoli and it is unlikely to happen quickly either.

Therefore, because other teams besides Inter are still difficult to maintain a good trend then yes, at least at this moment Inter have a good chance of getting the Scudetto. Perhaps, it's too soon to predict the teams that will win the trophy as there is still the next half of the season. But, for now it seems pretty clear and I recognize Inter have been the best in Serie A so far this season.

Strong win for Ac Milan vs Monza.

Pioli is safe for now but it will be probably leave at the end of the season.

Not really, I appreciate your perspective, though I may not entirely share the same sentiment. They was a good and better side that season only for AC Milan to leapfrog em from behind and won the league.
The previous coach must have learnt his lessons and buckled his squad to win the Scudetto Competition last season. AC Milan won, I get  that to be part of my ticket, got disappointed with a draw game in the french league. Inter Milan tonight against Lazio, they win and they'll set a good gap between themselves and the Old Ladies ( Juventus ) who shared points with Genoa.

Hopefully Napoli qualifies for the Champions League next season. They're not too much of a bad team, they've just had a wrong coach tjis season Rudi Garcia who drained the energy of the squad with his poor tactics.

Yep, the match ended with a unanimous score for Milan and although my expectations were not well realized because Monza could not score a single goal there but I am quite happy with the results that occurred in this match.
On the other hand for the Inter match I think it would be a good advantage if it was bet on because whatever the probability is at the moment Inter are ahead even though they are playing away.
With the odds currently at 1.90 I think it would be a good bet and you're doing the right thing in this one because after all, it looks like Inter can still win this one.
But looking at Lazio's performance now I don't think it's a problem to bet on both clubs to score even though it's still risky especially Inter are still very good in terms of defense but I think it's still very worth it.

Also, Napoli current position is still being targeted by Roma and Bologna, which is 2 points different. If Bologna or Roma get three points in today match then Napoli position will drop to 5th place. But the Bologna vs Roma match also is unpredictable, both of team at the same level and I think there's still a possibility this match will end in a draw result.
Yes Napoli situation in the standings is full of pressure, but also Napoli performance seems already improve after Mazzarri leadership as head coach, and I hope they can back their good trend in every match to get a UCL ticket.

As Roma still have confidence in taking points in tonight's match, even though they are in difficult conditions without Lukaku and Dybala, it looks like Roma will still be able to get points at home to Bologna, there is not enough chance that Roma will play attacking because they have to win this match to continue. be consistent this week, because this victory will lift Roma to 5th place in the Serie A class to overtake Fiorentina who always overshadow As Roma, the conclusion is that they are still confident about Roma's situation without Dyala and Lukaku, even though they only rely on Andrea Belotti and El Shaarawy both still has the instinct to create goals and is still sharp for both attackers...

Indeed, this is a normal thing and should not be brought up and I would be prouder if Napoli could win the match against a similar team. But yes, this is a pretty good result as Napoli need points to maintain their current position. Osimhen performed well but it has become commonplace when he can only do it in weak teams and if he also did the same against Juventus or Inter maybe it would be something that doesn't need to be discussed.

Apart from that, Napoli will not be able to just sit still against Roma and be able to prove the expectations of some people to immediately get up and close the match with maximum results. Napoli must take advantage of Lukaku's absence due to a red card to score first and increase its attacking effectiveness.

Now Napoli is also starting to be chased by other teams such as Fiorentina after the Fiorentina team won in their home match today and Napoli's own number of points is also the same as Fiorentina. So Napoli are now really feeling the pressure to maintain their position in the top four of the standings and must be able to do something to stay in that position during this season. Because this season it will be very difficult for Napoli to get a trophy like they got last season, but at least Napoli can get a top four position so they can enter the UCL competition again next season.

You are right, Napoli continues to decline if we compare it to last season lower total goals and more conceded this is the impact of the defender move to Bayern Munich so that the defense area seems to have lost half its strength. Apart from that, Osimhen is also less productive this season we don't see him playing like last season where he looked more aggressive, we don't know whether this is due to internal conflict or whether Osimhen hasn't found his best game yet clearly we see something is missing from this player. In fact, next season Napoli has the potential to lose their place in the Champions League since AS Roma and Fiorentina were fighting for tickets there so far these 3 teams still have the same chance with only a difference of 1 - 2 points.

Napoli still remains one big name in the Italian league regardless of their recent set back of they are still performing a little above average regardless of the challenges, they have won a few games, in their last five games they were able to win two and lost the other three which were obviously due to absence of a few key players.

I don't think we should start blaming the changing of coach on the recent performance of Napoli because the immediate past coach wasn't doing we and the current have to take over from there where the past Coach dis stopped and see how well he can fix the team and so far he has been trying so I think basically more time should be given ro him and let's see how well he will further do probably before the season ends, mostly likely Napoli will get back strong again buy I doubt if they will be able to win the league title by the end of the season.

Roma will have to suffer the absence of two of their key players. I don't know how Jose Mourinho will cope without Lukaku and Dybala, maybe the combination of Andrea Belotti and Stephen El Shaarawy will be able to produced the expected results.

In reality, it will be difficult for Roma to win Bologna who have only lost 1 match at home this season against AC Milan. A draw in this match will be a great result for the away side.

Lazio vs Inter Milan

We all know Inter Milan has displayed fantastic performance this season even in Serie A recently Inter Milan was unbeatable in the last 9 matches and collect 7 wins from that but this is home match for Lazio although this season Lazio performance was decline but Lazio at home cannot be underestimate because at home Lazio can able to gets 4 wins from 6 home matches so i think this is very impressive records from Lazio

Inter Milan has poor records during playing at Lazio home ground because they were failed to win 4 times streak at Olimpico stadium so basically this is hard match for Inter Milan but indeed Inter Milan was different this season because they were more solid compared to last season so if all of Inter Milan key players available today maybe they have a good chances to improved their meeting records from Lazio and win the match

Inzaghi was rested some of Inter Milan key players while Inter Milan get draw result from Sociedad and apparently Inzaghi was give his priority for this match because they have to win to maintain their difference points with Juventus for race title and for betting options Inter Milan has odds @1.89 and this actually good odds to bets because in my opinion Inter Milan will being an the winner of this match

While we are getting close to the game between Bologna and Roma, there is sad news for Mourinho and his team because they need to win the game against Bologna to decrease the pressure on Roma because of the weak performance they had before and even fans are unhappy about the situation of Roma.
But it seems Houssem Aouar the player of Roma can't be for this team in the match against Bologna today.
He got injured in the game they had against Sheriff and he is probably out for three months..

Although Napoli managed to beat Cagliari with a score of 2-1 but ya, I still can't consider Napoli got  to their best performance at this moment. So ya, even though Napoli are currently in the top four in the standinga Serie A but ya, I'm still not sure Napoli will be able to be consistent with winning result in every match.

Therefore, I think Inter chance to maintain the top position of the Serie A standings this season is very possible. Because ya, at this moment I think there is no Serie A team that can consistently to get win result because after all, Juventus who only focus on the domestic league also did not really succeed in becoming Inter's strong competitor at this moment.

The competition will become interesting again if Milan is able to create consistency in the second half of the season and re-enliven the Scudetto race with Inter Milan and Juventus. The victory over Monza does look promising, and in the future Pioli must try to maintain his squad's performance so that it remains stable. Of course, victory over Monza is relatively easy to achieve because they are only a mediocre club. What Milan needs to prove is securing 3 points when they meet other big teams.

In fact, Milan also needs additional players in the defense and attack sectors apart from the wing positions. Pioli must be able to convince club officials to finance his movements in the transfer market, and I think Milan management must streamline the squad by releasing several players who have minimal contribution. I think that if Milan doesn't do something in January, it will be difficult for them to compete with Inter and Juventus this season.

Napoli is still looking for its lost identity, even last season Napoli was really strong in several big clubs that Napoli faced as if they were helpless against Napoli. We saw that there was no fighting spirit like last season which was still under the auspices of Luciano Spalletti, when Luciano Spalletti decided to interning for the Italian national team squad actually changed coaches in the Napoli camp, and that's when Napoli became a soft club that didn't have the enthusiasm to win and forgot how to win every match they played in...

that's perfect result but it was not the best performance from acmilan. I meant if we shall also be aware about how strong team has faced by acmilan. Acmilan needs to prove it by beating the big club. It's the only way owned by acmilan to go back again to the title race.
Juventus and intermilan have become even stronger than acmilan. Pioli can think at least a new strategy to make milan even better. The transfer season will come soon and pioli needs prepare the new players to be targeted by the club.
There must be a good winger to replace leao once he being suspended from any game due to the injury. I hope pioli will be addressing this problem too. Acmilan was performing so well.

Napoli in the previous seasons weren't stable and they were fluctuating heavily. Last season they were playing pretty much good and lifted the scudetto. This season, they returned back to their previous form. I don't think they have a chance to pass Inter with as much as 11 points difference with eventually additional 3 points after Lazio and Inter game today. I would say that passing Ac Milan will be challenging for them, especially after Milan having a nice victory in today's game against Monza by 3 goals to 0.

Apparently Juventus is not strong enough to pressure Inter Milan, it looks like Inter will walk alone at the top of the standings this season. Milan, Napoli and Roma are no better than Juventus, so the competition for the four is most likely just for the UCL slots, as Inter have been too strong for all of them so far except for Sassuolo. That is Inter only defeat so far, their chances of snatching the Scudetto from Napoli are increasing every week.

A home match record can indeed give Lazio better confidence, but I think Inter came to secure 3 points and finish the match without thinking too much about Lazio record. The strength that Inter has in the form of even squad depth makes their chances better in the match against Lazio. I think Inzaghi squad will continue its consistency this week.

On the other hand, with many matches remaining ahead, I understand that the difference in points can still be overtaken or the opposite could even happen. Inter will certainly not be completely comfortable at the top of the points table, before the points gap widens even further. In a few hours we will enjoy the match between Lazio and Inter, and I won't miss it.

I think Napoli's situation isnt so bad. They've had a hard period, and losing their coach last season threw them off. Remember that rebuilding Napoli is a marathon, not a sprint. I think Mazzarri can help them rediscover their rhythm again. Beyond this season, they must think long-term.

However, football is unpredictable, even though Inter is leading the group. Napoli are down but still in contention. If they focus on each game, progress gradually, and maybe change tactics, who knows? They may yet be influential this season. I hope to see a great recovery.
