The Italian serie A title is very tight and as matches unfolds you really don't know who is going to out the champion but for me I think Juventus should not be overlooked. Everyone is focusing so much on Atalanta and Inter Milan but Juventus recent form has been impressive and if they continue to improve I see them as a strong title contender.
Also AC Milan aren't consistent, they have all it takes to be in the race but they haven't been able to make their mark so far.

No team in the Serie A is safe to stay at the top of the standings! That is what makes the league so great. They have had so many years when Juventus Turin won the title repeatedly, but it doesn't do any good to any league. You will at least want two teams to compete and rather more than that. This is why everyone is so excited when exceptions like the one in the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen happen.

Juventus Turin won from 2012 to 2020.



Maybe Juventus Turin fans like it, but I think it is more enjoyable to see a team win the title that is more out of the ordinary. Or when you have a it like it now is when several teams are playing so well and stay in the game for the Scudetto.

This is actually why the Premier League makes so much more from selling broadcasting rights. It is because in most seasons the struggle to win the title is real.

I think the season that Napoli won was interesting even though they had such a huge advantage, but they were so much superior that it was deserved, but would it be great if it goes like that 10 years in a row, no.

It is always difficult for coaches to overcome team performance problems if many of their main players are injured, this is a difficult challenge for them. Real Madrid experienced the same problem when many of its main players were injured, as did Manchester City and almost all other teams. The imbalance between main players and reserve players makes it difficult for coaches to find a solution, and often they have to suffer defeat and lose so many points.

The depth of the main squad and reserve squad must be balanced so that the team's performance is maintained. But not all teams have it because after all there are costs that must be paid to have a squad like that. Usually the first team and reserve team look different in terms of quality, but it is the coach's job to be able to match them if they are needed.

The match between Fiorentina and Udinese has already started, and it is quite exciting to note that Fiorentina has taken an early lead by scoring the first goal, which might significantly boost their chances of securing a victory in this game, or at the very least, settling for a draw. I believe that such an early goal can provide them with a strong psychological advantage and momentum, but we can only wait and see how the rest of the game unfolds, as there is always the possibility that Udinese might find an opportunity to turn the match around and secure a win. However, given Fiorentina's current form and the way they are playing at the moment, it seems unlikely, although anything can happen in football, especially in the second half.

 As for the match between Inter Milan against Como, I am confident that Inter Milan is the clear favorite to dominate and win the game by a significant margin. They have been performing exceptionally well in recent matches, and since this is their home game, I expect them to deliver an impressive performance without facing much resistance from Como. Honestly, I would be surprised if the match ends with anything other than a convincing victory for Inter Milan, as they have consistently shown their strength recently in different matches.

Juventus managed to win against Monza, but it wasn't without difficulty. I had pointed out that Juventus has been struggling lately, and their performance leaves much to be desired. With 17 shots on goal, Monza could have achieved more if they had been more effective.

Alessandro Nesta clearly isn't handling the job well, and the owners should consider a change in management. Juventus faces a serious challenge in their next match against Fiorentina. They need to improve their game if they want to compete for the title. Let's see how they perform in the upcoming matches!

1-0 for Fiorentina makes them now lead the match. Although the 1 goal occurred through a penalty prize process that was completed well by Kean, Fiorentina is not completely safe because Udinese still has the opportunity not to let this temporary result end until the end of the match.
Fiorentina's defense is good because they have only conceded 11 goals and make them the top team in terms of conceding the fewest goals. In second place is Napoli. But that will be in vain because the target of the top team is to be the champion with a trophy at the end of the season.

Seriously Juventus struggled against an opposition which most people think they should be winning against easily but to me I actually did expect this struggle, because Monza who haven’t won a game in their last five matches, In fact they have won just once this season where going to go hard against a Juventus team that has drawn all five of its last matches. Juventus started the season well with narrow wins thanks to their defense and that’s why they are where they are now on the table if not they aren’t spectacular themselves this season.

Vlhahovic will most likely leave because the manager doesn’t trust him enough and wants him out. I think Motta should consider going for Zirkzee who he last worked with and Juventus were once interested in. Manchester United themselves are looking for a way to offload one of their strikers so it wouldn’t be a hard deal to do

I am pretty sure they should have fired their manager by now. I get that he is new here and that's why they wanted to give some time, but Juventus getting these bad results is not acceptable, the team isn't even that bad and they should be looking to get better results, right now they are not doing fine at all and firing him wouldn't really be a bad idea at all, I think they should reconsider their stance.

Who could they hire after this much time, like not that many managers are available currently, but they could just hire someone else's manager can't they? Look at United, they hired Lisbon's manager, so it's possible to hire from another team, and maybe they would have to pay a bit but they could do that, so get someone who is doing great.

Regarding Fiorentina, they have a fairly strong defense and also a fairly good attack. I see this team so consistent in several matches, although in the last match they had to lose narrowly to Bologna, but that does not make me doubt Fiorentina is able to win this match and return to winning ways, I bet on Fiorentina. While regarding Udinese, I am quite doubtful about the team, because they got bad results in their last five matches, where Udinese was only able to collect 4 points in their last five matches.


and regarding the match between Inter Milan who will face Como, without a definite calculation, Inter should be the winner. Although it cannot be denied that the team that has just been promoted to seria, they played quite well and were able to avoid the relegation zone

The Inter one is a really good choice. Inter are doing just great. They have a potential to take the lead as well in case of winning their missing games. I only miss Lautaro's last season effort.    Como aren't good at all. They have huge defensive problems. While Inzaghi's students are in a solid shape, I expect a convincing win by them at the same time.

However the Udinese one is a really big risk. Indeed, Fiorentina weren't wonderful against Bologna. But still they are having an impressive season. I checked the head-to-heads at Fiorentina's home and saw Udinese stealing some points from them in the last a few ones. Let's see if such thing happens again...

There are two matches today. In the first match Fiorentina is the favorite against Udinese but it's not an easy match. Fiorentina is the favorite because of the quality of the squad, the form and the home field advantage. I expect a goal from Moise Kean, who has been silent in the last four league games.
In the second match, Inter play Como. I think Inter is the clear favorite here, I can't think of any other result. Fabregas has put together a good lineup of experienced players in Como. They also beat Roma last week. But I don't think they will be able to perform the same against Inter. Inter are in great form and they are aiming to win their two missing games and get the same number of points as the top. They won't make a mistake in such a position.

One thing that makes people to win title is consistency and fine form because a team can be performing very good at the first stanza of the league but due to injuries and out of form by the club can lead to the club not eventually lossing out on the league title and with the way this season has been going for the Italian Seria a teams have been consistent and performing at their best so far in this first half of the season but let see how the second half of the season will be it's still a long time as teams performance in the second quarter of the league will determine who will eventually win the league

I know it's not easy to win games in the Italian Serie A but that I don't think is enough reason to sing praises to Juventus for narrowly winning their game against Monza yesterday when we all know Monza have been struggling in the league and currently sits at the bottom of the league standings. Though Juventus won that game but if you ask me, there was nothing convincing in their  performance in that game. Thiago Motta needs to do more in improving his team's style of play so they can become competitive like other top teams.

Their ability to compete at the top of the standings is a testament to the hard work of the team and the effective strategies of their respective coaches, Napoli last season who slumped in the league actually managed to rise this season after Conte took over the team, as well as Atalanta who still continue to show extraordinary toughness like last season, while Inter who are currently stuck in 3rd place, in my opinion still have a chance to catch up and maintain their status as Scudetto champions because the season is still long.
Atalanta and Napoli have the potential to become half-first season champions, but actually the second half of the season will be a real test for them,because so far I have seen that often the team that won the half-season failed to maintain their position until the end of the season to win the Scudetto.

• Inter Milan vs Como (Inter -1.5) odds @2.00
• Fiorentina vs Udinese (Double chance draw or Udinese win) odds @2.31

That is my prediction for today's match and I believe that Inter Milan will win easily to beat Como. However, Como should not be underestimated because I believe Como can put up a fight and at least score 1 goal. And in the Fiorentina vs Udinese match, actually I don't doubt Fiorentina but Fiorentina's last performance was very disappointing. On the one hand at the beginning of last season Udinese was able to perform very well and it is impossible for Udinese to just give up. A draw could happen in that match and if Udinese could beat Fiorentina, it would be a surprise.

In this case, yes, Juventus did win and get 3 points. But as you said, it was not an easy win for Juventus. We can see from how Monza tried to keep the score tight and put up quite a worrying fight. Their ball possession was also not too far, as were their total attacks and shots. Fortunately, Jentus was able to withstand all attacks since their second goal and defended it until the end.

He's the current best player and his form started from last season. He just won the best player award in Africa and has been on a good form for Atalanta. This season he has scored 9 times and also have 4 assists in 14 games and that's a total of 13 goal contribute for 14 games. He's indeed on fire and if he continues to play in his form. He might get more than 30 goals contributions this season. He's one of the reasons Atalanta are performing so well in Serie A and dominating the table by being top of the table. Yesterday game against Empoli was a closed one but Ketelaere brace help with the win after his second goal came around the last 10 minutes of the game.

The last win of Napoli was ultimate because Genoa was very weak team as comparison to Napoli full strength football team. Both teams are try to give good match but Napoli team did more goals in last match and won the match one sided. The possession percentage of that team was also osum because that team gave more possessions in this match and passes of that team were more in number . The overall stats was also in the favour of Napoli team .
The last match of Atalanta was a big match between these two team because both team are in good form and both teams did hard work to win this match but Atalanta was the winner of this match by giving excellent effort in this match.

Fiorentina has the best defense in Serie A, and I think that it will not be easy for Udinese to score against them. So everything will depend on the defense of Udinese, whether they can keep their goal without a goal, if they miss, they will have to try hard to score. Udinese are favorites in this match, but I will not bet on this match, because I have doubts. I think it may be better to make a parley on Inter to win against Como and on Napoli against Venice.

There are two matches in the Italian Serie A League. Fiorentina vs Udinese and Inter vs Como will be played tonight. Inter beat Lazio 6-0 last week. It was the most remarkable performance of last week. If I remember correctly, Simone Inzaghi is in his third season in charge of Inter. They finished as champions of the Italian Serie A last season. They are unbeaten in their last 10 games this season. They have a really good performance. On the other hand, Como are close to the relegation zone. But last week they had a surprise win against Roma. It was an important win for them before this game. But there is no doubt that Inter will be the favorites in this match.
