Wrong to say Khivicha Kvaratskhelia is the most important thing in Napoli, I disagree. I've also seen comments saying he was the main deal that lead Napoli towards winning the league tittle. He had a good work rate I know, but he didn't win the league tittle for Napoli alone last season. They've been sidling Victor Oshime who has scored more goal that any of them players.

I did watch Khivicha Kvaratskhelia, he scored three goals during the international break, Two great goals against Scotland to put Georgia National team ahead but they didn't defend well to win that game.

He better moves out of Napoli. I'd love to see Victor Oshime and Khivicha Kvaratskhelia leaving, they'll definitely fetch the club big sums of money.

De Sciglio, Locatelli, Miretti and T. Weah are currently injured. Fagioli and Pogba not injured, but cannot be played by Juventus. Even several juventus injured, it looks like the squad they currently have is still quite balanced. So I think the Derby D'Italia match doesn't really reduce Juventus strength, so there is a chance for Juventus to win. Meanwhile, Inter losing Pavaard and Bastoni, who were important players in Inter Milan defense. Juventus can take this opportunity to get 3 points.

In this match, everyone will place bets with a draw because both of them are very, very strong and in addition, this is a match of prestige and high tension as a rivalry that has been around for a long time, it is difficult to see who will come out as the winner because both of them want to keep their distance from the current ranking. Even though they are only two points behind, Juventus looks like they will benefit from playing at home, they will definitely play according to the coach's instructions and maintain their victory in their last five matches. Inter Milan must also win the next match because that will keep them at a safe distance from Juventus' pursuit. Of course this match is very worth watching..

I also agree that Juventus have chance to also win the match just as many people think Inter Milan will win, but this injury news is what baffles me and made me think of something else because Inter is a good team that will stand firm against Juventus, and if Juventus will be playing without some key players, it will be hard for them to win Inter Milan

So there are some Juventus players injured? I didn't see this news maybe I missed it.
But of course the chances of Juventus winning are definitely there they play home at least there is hope even though the dominance of the game will be owned by Inter Milan but they are the strongest candidate for Serie A now.

Who says they don't have a favorite? Whichever side you're from, that's the team that's favored, maybe you can say you're a fan.
Anything from the bookies then the favorite is Inter Milan with odds @ 2.23 and Juventus @ 3.35, I already feel I have a choice and more inclined to Inter Milan which is quite consistent at this time.

I wouldn't say that Juventus have no chance against Inter. Juventus are currently in second place in the standings and have not many less points than Inter. If they win, they will be in first place. It seems to me that this game has no favourites.

The loosing of Ren point last season seem to had affected their morale and confidence at the beginning of this season but then it's currently looking like they have gotten pass that and they are now back on their feet seeing how well they could get something our of this season.

This season they seem to have their focus narrowed down to just one place because in all they have just the serie A to participate in this season, so its a very good opportunity for them to win the league and are same rime secure a spot at the champions league by next season, but then they will have to keep improving and staying consistent with their recent form to enable them achieve all this by the end of this season.

You're right. Roma is very lucky to sign a top striker like Lukaku. He is actually a sharp striker but he needs a motivation and support to play with his best. It is something he can't get in Chelsea. That's why he got difficulty to play with his best in Chelsea. Besides in Chelsea, he also ever played in Inter Milan in the previous season. He played quite well in Inter Milan, sadly Inter Milan doesn't want to sign him permanently. Now, he is a part of AS Roma squad, I hope he can be a player of AS Roma permanently. I don't expect he returns to Chelsea.

I think in the match against Udinese, Lukaku will contribute well again. He must do his best to score goals in the next match. So, AS Roma can be in the top 5 of Serie A standings. It is very possible that AS Roma can finish in the UCL zone this season. AC Milan and Napoli look very unstable, they are often defeated by small teams.

Yes, most of top teams in Serie A performed very unstable. Only 2 top teams which still can keep good performance, Juventus and Inter Milan. But we don't know how they can keep their performance in the second half of the season. Sometimes it will be difficult to keep the good performance when there will be more tight matches, specifically when it is in the second half of the season.

A deduction of 10 points last season meant that Juventus lost the opportunity to play in European competition this season, this punishment Juventus had to accept for the scandal that entangled them. Now that Juventus is again giving competition to Inter Milan for the title, Juventus will try to reclaim the Scudetto after failing to get it in the last few years. This season they have really benefited because they only focus on the Serie A competition, in contrast to their rivals who have to divide their time into the Champions League.

The fatigue factor could cause Inter performance to decline due to a busy schedule, while Juventus players can get more rest by focusing on Serie A alone. Juventus will take advantage of this opportunity to win the Scudetto this season, their continued stable performance means Juventus has a great opportunity to celebrate their success this season even though they are currently two points behind Inter.

Napoli at that time should not have been too hasty in choosing the next coach after Spalletti left because we know that at Al-Nassr alone, Rudi Garcia caused problems in the dressing room with Ronaldo and after Rudi Garcia was fired, Ronaldo with Al-Nassr has been doing better until now. From there, Napoli should have known that this coach would cause problems when the squad was in peak performance and they are fully responsible for the results Napoli has obtained so far.

Now Mazzari will be given good material to manage the team and with the talented players Napoli currently has, we hope he can further polish players like Kvaratskhelia or others to be better than before. Mazzari really created a predator in attack at that time and I hope he can do it once again when he becomes Napoli coach.

If this is true, it is over for Juventus because they don’t have any way to defeat Inter Milan without even two of their first team players.
That means, Inter Milan will keep enjoying their top of the Seria A table comfortably, but if Juventus were able to win the match, then we will have another direction in the Seria A table because if Juventus claim up, they will definitely maintain their position because they don’t have much competitions.

A club if don't have deep budget and support from the owner, must have good finance flow and positive net flow to be healthy financially. It will help them to maintain strategy for the club growth including transfer strategy and salary for their players and staffs. Good player resource, they will be able to maintain their club competitiveness against opponents.

Obviously, being competitive will help to maintain good position in domestic league like Serie A but it is not enough to win a league trophy. To have this, a lot of things must convergence in a same season like they have excellent performance, luckiness and competitors have bad season too. Keeping the star player in Napoli is good for them because he is young and they can use him for many seasons. With him, they will not have big changes in their attacking system but Napoi will likely sell him at the right time when they receive big bid from big clubs.

Juventus has more freedom in carrying out this season in Serie A so there is an opportunity for Juventus to win the title in Serie A this season, because apart from Juventus' performance which has improved this season compared to last season, Juventus also has more time to make evaluations. players so that Juventus can apply different tactics against Inter Milan, which this season could also be a candidate to challenge for the title in Serie A.

Juventus is not thinking about other competitions apart from Serie A, so it is appropriate for Juventus to be at the top and overtake Inter Milan, because last season Juventus actually also had the ability to be in the best zone, but it would be a shame if Juventus had to lose its best position due to points deduction. And this season is sufficient proof for Juventus to recover from last season's bad conditions.

Yes, the style of play in Serie A matches his style of play, so that when he is here his abilities can be seen, unlike when he was at Chelsea for example his abilities were not seen at all, yes it was apart from the injuries he experienced too. But we can see how he was at Chelsea, brought in from Inter Milan at a very expensive cost he could be said to be one of the failed purchases or transfers made by Chelsea, considering the contribution he made was minimal, not even able to make a good change for Chelsea.

I wouldn't appraise Aurelio De Laurentiis that much if I were anybody, the guy is a businessman and will always be looking for ways to beat down any expectation if there is no special pressure on him. I understand the agent of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, what did you expect of him? With such a sweet word of trust, it's another way to mess with the head of Aurelio De Laurentiis to do the needful. I stopped believing this man that much with how things played out during the selling and not selling saga of Victor Osimhen in the last transfer window and I quite understand him very well as the president of the club, they can't just sell their key players just like that unless they see a very tempting and irresistible offer.

What am I saying? I'm just driving at the point that you do not believe any businessman, and if you lose guard, they will take advantage of you. It's the agent of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who should be up and doing. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia should continue to be impressive just as he did last season and this season, he needs more this season even as he is doing well, and with this, there will be a day when renegotiation will happen in his favour. His goal assistance this season has been the best, that's part of the appraisal.

Besides all that, let me correct you, he is still not the most important player in Napoli, he can't be rated above Victor Osimhen. Even if the guy has not performed better than last season, he is still number 1 in Napoli to date while Matteo Politano is the second before it gets to the turn of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who is the third.

eeeehh very bad news for Juventus, Inter are already a very fearsome team and if you then add 5 injured players, the match becomes really difficult
at this point it is better for him to aim for a draw, in order to keep the standings as stable as now (regarding points difference)

Lukaku is a very strong player, its a shame Juventus couldnt find a way to get him.
I am still saying bad words to Juventus managers, he would have been perfect for my beloved team.
And as you can all see, I was right in wanting him in the team, he is in perfect shape.

Yeah maybe Rudi Garcia wasn't able to do as good as Spalletti. But I don't think he has been doing too bad either. I mean they are about to reach last 16 round in the Champions League. When it comes to the Serie A I can't say that they are terrible either. If they were like in the middle of the standings then it would be a failure of course.

The previous season performance of Napoli with Spalletti was a special one which is difficult to be seen very often for any other team left in the league. Maybe even Spalletti wasn't going to be able to maintain the same level if he stayed. 

Napoli's ex coach was one man that brought a whole lot of damages in the team, everyone complained about him, his players lost their performing ability, there was disunity in the team and that led to the backwardness the team faced this season, they reduced in their tats this season than they were normally known for, it seemed like everyone was doing their own thing in the team with proper leadership role from the coach, good news is the team now has a new head and everyone is anticipating what the new man has to offer.

 His debut game against Atlanta away from home is closely watched to see the outcome of his first performance, Although he's got good records of moulding up and shaping players to be best for the business, but that's secondary. We all want to see how he handles Napoli to see if there'd be improvement, Napoli players are eager to build back better and stronger and they're so eager to see the positive change the man may have come with.

When I think about Kvaratskhelia's position at Napoli, it makes me a little nervous. His work this season isnt quite as good as it was last year. He seems to have lost some of his spark, you know? This lack of consistency could hurt both his future at Napoli and his market worth. Its risky for Napoli to keep him if he doesnt get better. They might even think about selling him, but it would be a terrible loss. I really enjoy his work and would be sad to see him leave. For the sake of the team, though, sometimes tough choices have to be made because football is so uncertain.
