Martinez is one of the very few natural strikers we have in our modern time football and we must appreciate the way he’s dedicated to playing for Inter Milan. Like he’s literally been carrying this team on his shoulders for over 2 seasons and still not getting tired. That’s what player’s dedication is all about. Yes you can see the bizzare figures and how much the team aren’t really scoring much since he got out on injury but I think he’s set to return and that’s smelling doom for the like if Juventus who’re also league chasers bit not really serious in their chase.

 Inter Milan will be playing Genoa by weekend but what’s crazy is that their front pair haven’t had a goal this season but we believe they’ll get the goal(s) this weekend to maintain the club’s lead on top spot. For this match I think Inter will manage to get the win and the score line wont be much it could just be a lone goal for Inter Milan as Genoa are one team that could cause you a lot of worry.

Juventus are in a safe position now but their target is chasing Inter Milan and win Scudetto in this season. They will not satisfy if they end this season as a runner-up. Inter Milan looks to very strong from both defense and attacking so Juventus will have big issue to catch Inter Milan. Their competitor got a bad news with Lautaro Martinez's injury and the player is still in medical assessment. No confirmation or prediction on his recovery time.

Juventus' main target is to win Scudetto but they also have to be careful with other clubs because if they can not win Scudetto, they will still have to complete in top four to play in Champions League next season. Winning Scudetto is best ending for them but if they can not win it, get a position to join Champions League is good ending for them in the season.

Juventus is in a safe position at the moment, I mean they will not be distracted by the teams below them and will be fully focused on competing with Inter. In fact, the difference in points from Milan is 7 points and at least Milan can only hope that Juventus suffers 2 defeats if they want to overtake them. Apart from that, Juventus is increasingly at an advantage because it is only 4 points away from Inter and one failure experienced by Inter will make their chances of occupying the top position easier.

This is a place that Juventus could have secured last season if they had not been hit by problems and received a points deduction. Juventus is one of the big teams in Serie A and I see that they are still a consistent team despite all the problems that exist. When compared to Roma or Milan, Juventus are on a different level and I think they deserve to be closer every season to winning the Scudetto.

Roma's top 4 goals may be achievable. They're 6th, a stone's throw from 4th. I think Roma can narrow that gap in a tough league. Serie A is unpredictable, therefore every game can change the outcome. Lukaku's performance gives Roma a good opportunity. He's not back to his best, but 8 goals in 14 Serie A matches and 5 in 6 Europa League games? Pretty impressive. I think Roma might win the Champions League if Mourinho keeps this up. Its not easy, but they have potential.

actually the bologna squad is also not good. maybe this is called a surprise. can it still be consistent to stay in the top 4 until the end of the competition. while the match is also still long and long until the end of the competition.
And the depth of the Bologna squad is also not in the main squad and the reserve squad is also the level of the players is very far if there is an injury it will be very troublesome for the coach.

Bolognas recent performance has really been interestingly surprising to most of us this season because we least expected such from them so it's indeed a thing of surprise how they have grown so good and become a force in the serie A they are progressive moving up the table, they are also showing some level of confidence alongside.

Consistency is the next problem bologna will be facing if they will be able to attempt Winn the trophy or finishing top four, bologna may not freely win udinese but then it's most possible they end in a draw, both teams are bit an average team who have relatively equal strength but bologna recently performing even better, udinese needs this game much more than bologna does so they will not be allowing bologna to win like that except a draw. Their January fixture against Milan will really Bea test for bologna to see if this their newly found form is such that the can sustain and maintain long enough.

If the Bologna coach can continue to give the best directions to their players and the players can also be consistent enough in carrying out these directions, I think Bologna could be in the top three in the Serie A standings this season. Because AC Milan is no longer as good as seen in its last few matches this season, this will certainly open up opportunities for Bologna to continue to do other extraordinary things in the upcoming matches.

In the next matches, I am also sure that Bologna can win again because the opponent is not a team that is very strong and consistent this season so there is good hope for Bologna fans to see another win in the next match. I'm pretty sure that Bologna could get third place if AC Milan can't win the upcoming match because the points gap for both of them is currently quite close.

I don't think that the red card was the only reason for Napoli's loss to Roma. This is because Napoli was a total shadow of themselves and didn't show much zeal to win the game. They dominated ball possession had just seven shots which a mere two were on target compared to Roma which had seventeen shots and four on target. We shouldn't always skip the fact that the first red card was in the 66th minute and the second card came in the 86th, which shows that Napoli has sufficient time to at least get a goal but the attack didn't live up to expectations.

Lukaku has been proving both Inter Milan, Chelsea and Juventus wrong. The Belgian striker had several difficulties at the beginning of the season when his future in several clubs was in doubt. Jose Mourinho just believed in him and gave him a lifeline in Roma and the striker has not disappointed the Portuguese tactician. Roma will be considering a permanent deal from the striker.

Lukaku only stands there like a pole on side balls and kicks the incoming ball, he doesn't have any other qualities. I don't think Roma won the match, Napoli gave it away. Also Belotti might be the 2nd biggest transfer blunder in Roma's history. If you ask who's the first, he's offside at the forward end. Lukaku is such a waste of money. It's interesting that Roma are still winning games with this squad, they should be better. Napoli have been beaten in almost all derbies. I think the second yellow card given to Osimhen was wrong. Even the foul there is debatable. Spaletti was perhaps the only man of last season not to be overrated. The players were simply balloons, and when the coach left, the balloons burst.

The reality is that Roma got 4 out of 9 points from the last 3 games. This isn't very impressive and definitely not enough to get into the top four. This game against Napoli is a bit blurry as it seems that Roma has beaten a serious contender in Serie A, but everyone is aware that Napoli got a red card, then a red card and then the finishing blow from Lukaku. But without the red cards the world would be looking slightly differently and your assessment whether Roma would get into the top four and it would not be too challenging may also have been different.

Yes that's right. Bologna this season has made an extraordinary surprise, Bologna's success so far cannot be separated from the coach who is clever at using player material and Motta showing modern football. He doesn't just prioritize defense, but impressive attacks and pressing the opponent's defense.

I also agree with you, in the next two matches Bologna if they can beat Udinese and AC Milan then they will increase their self-confidence so much that it will be difficult for their opponents to beat them, and of course at the end of the league they will stay in the top four of course. If this is the case for Bologna, this will be a truly extraordinary achievement.

I'm sure you don't really know what happened in the match because after all, how could the score be 3-1, while the first goal also occurred in the 76th minute and the second goal occurred in the +90th minute. Also, although Napoli in the first half led in ball possession but still, Napoli played poorly in the first half because after all, in the first half also Napoli did not have a shot on target at all.

Therefore, then I say that Napoli played poorly in this match for the first half and also in the second half. But ya, even though Napoli played badly but at least Napoli had a chance to get a draw. But unfortunately, their cards obtained by two Napoli players made Napoli concede with two goals as well and had to accept defeat with a score of 2-0.

Bologna will be cooking soon. The performance of this club is still amazing as always. It is becoming increasingly clear that bologna is being perceived as a major menace by several renowned clubs, leaving no room for doubt. Since it is always climbing up even higher than before.
I have been consistently expressing my opinion that there is a similarity between Bologna, Atalanta, and Fiorentina, but Bologna is still underperforming when compared to those teams. Bologna is going to face udinese in upcoming schedule. This is not going to be a tough game for bologna.
 
I fully trust bologna to win the game against udinese. As you may have noticed, Udinese's performance in Serie A this season has been extremely disappointing. It's more than enough to prove that if bologna will be dominating the match.
Even though if bologna will not be dominating the match but it will be winning with narrow score. I think that that girona will be cooking in this game.

It must be noted if bologna's odds is very good in this match. @2.26 girona is on the top 4 and this is advantage for bettors to take it.

Roma is of course chasing a top 4 place this season because the last time they were able to do it was in the 2017/2018 season and after that they struggled to close the season in the top 4.
Yes, with the distance getting closer to the top 4 teams, it is an opportunity for Roma to make the best use of it. Roma sometimes they are unstable in their performance, I mean they often lose points when facing weak teams so they have to improve this in the upcoming matches to be able to return to the top 4 ranked teams.

Now the point difference between roma and bologna is only 3 points so this is quite close because only one match can change their ranking. Bologna and Fiorentina are teams that are above Roma, they are unlikely to be strong enough to maintain their form until the end of the season. And Roma must be able to improve the quality of their game in order to be able to move the teams above their ranking. The victory they achieved in the match against Napoli could provide additional encouragement for them to continue winning in the upcoming matches.

Indeed, Bologna performance so far this season really impressive, and they are consistently. Against Milan at the end of January, of course it will be a big test for Bologna, because on the other side it is also an important match for Milan. But before that match, Bologna this week will face against Udinese, and I think Udinese will make things difficult for Bologna to steal three points. Especially, this match will also be played at Udinese home, and Udinese may will play better to get points in this match considering that they are also very close to the relegation zone. So in my opinion, there is a possibility that match will end in a draw result.

Napoli is really having a bad season this time. They just held the Serie A trophy last season but this season, their performance has really fallen since Spalletti left. And it is indeed impossible for those who are currently in 7th position to suddenly rise to the top position. Their challenges are quite complicated, not only in terms of the performance of the players, but also in terms of the coaches, especially and also their rivals in Serie A, which are certainly getting better at the moment.

Actually Rome is the same. they are sometimes good but sometimes play quite badly. Their inconsistency when playing has really made the match results quite bad so far. However, in the previous match, Roma was indeed excellent when they competed against Napoli and won. This shows that Roma actually still has that quality, but so far they have not been optimal, they have been very bad in various matches. Roma may still be able to advance to the top position again, but they are quite hampered by the presence of Fiorentina and Bologna, who are currently quite on fire.

Genoa is unpredictable and having good performance against top teams but Inter Milan is playing with totally different level which is making things better for them, and surely they will do their homework before entering into game against them if they want to end their 2023 at high note and also want to keep pressure on their opponent Juventus which is currently at the second with the difference of 4 points but if they will also do mistake which other giants done then surely things can go on wrong way and their deficit can also cut by 2 or 3 points which could be bad for them in 2024 for staying at the top.

In last few matches, we all know Inter Milan is doing impressive job and giving not room to opponents with from five games they have conceded only 1 goal which making them superior and tag them as the best team in Serie A in this season.

If you are talking about good clubs for the 4th spot, exclude Roma. I do not have that serious conviction about Roma, that club's second name is disappointment. It is when you hail them more that they will disappoint you the more, so I do not have serious trust in them. Mourinho has tried in these years to turn the table around but he couldn't, and at the 6th position, I believe they have gotten the fair share of their performances this season, and I don't think they can get higher than that at the end of this season. There are clubs like Atalanta, Napoli and Lazio that are still serious threats to the current standing of Roma, I hope that in the next 2 weeks, they will not be displaced even lower contrary to the belief you guys have about them.

They just don't have that feat yet. As for AC Milan, one should know that they are trying, at the top 3, they have done so well, although it's because many clubs in the Serie A are not so impressive, yet, they deserve the current standing. However, they had it tough in their last match with Salernitana, it was good luck that saved them, or else, Salernitana would have won that match eventually. I hope they can try better in the coming ones and they should be able to beat Sassuolo FC easily with my analysis. Nonetheless, concerning Bologna and Fiorentina, they are doing well and they should continue to do well. But concerning Napoli, I must say I do not have any hope in them again, the gaps are too wide, and not even Victor Osimhen can do anything again unless for a miracle.

Bologna's performance this season is quite impressive, they are now in 4th place in the Serie A standings and I think they can continue to maintain this positive trend in the near term if nothing happens to their players.
This weekend Bologna will visit Udinese's headquarters and the next few matches which I don't think will be too difficult for them before finally visiting the San Siro, AC Milan's headquarters, so if they go through the previous match with positive results, it will probably improve their mentality and confidence. This team is getting taller and thus they will be increasingly difficult to beat.

Some positive results achieved of course this makes Roma have a big enough chance to be able to compete in the standings although indeed in this case I don't see them too much because I still believe their conditions will be the same as last season.

At the moment the problems Roma face are also still the same namely in the attack which is sometimes not too erratic which makes this more complicated for themselves.
Indeed, Lukaku's presence adds some positives because even though this still cannot be compared to prime Lukaku when at Inter but he has been able to provide slightly better results because the 14 matches he played in Serie A he has scored 8 goals and 5 goals from 6 Roma matches in the Europa League in my opinion it is a good achievement.

If Mou can maintain this then indeed their big chance for the Champions League or more certainly the Europa League will be very there its  just that we also cannot fully believe that this can be done easily for Roma in their current condition.
