These things happening to Napoli are things that could be avoided but it sad how Napoli refused avoiding it till it not only happened but got this worse and they are also looking reluctant to resolving it and probably they wouldn't get any better until they get every of this issues resolved and the team comes back to stability before they can get back their performance they had last season.

Osimhen is definitely not going to get any better at Napoli until he leaves to somewhere where he finds more pleasing and comfortable for him to put up his brilliance once again, he was promised to be treated nicely with some other benefits which on a normal note attracts players to want to work with any team but sadly he is currently getting the reverse so its enough to affect his performance and lastly I think the change of Coach had its own role to Play in this current state Napoli finds their self, but let's hope they get it fix d before the season ends so they can get something out of this season.

As the manager of the club, Rudi Garcia is being held responsible as the reason behind the club's current poor and inconsistent run and there's nothing he can do to shift the blames. When he was appointed the manager of Napoli in the summer after the club's title-winning manager Luciano Spalletti left the club, the Frenchman I believe understood the task ahead of him but has failed majority of the club supporters as they're currently not in the top four of the league.
However, I think he should be given a little more time to see if he can effect a positive change. They play tomorrow against Verona in an Italian Serie A game and a win in that game will surely boost his confidence and chances of staying longer at the club

In terms of strength, this should be a victory for Napoli, although they are not in good shape, but Verona is not a very strong club, so this is their chance to get back to a positive result after the last 2 matches they could not win the match.
If they lose this match, then the fate of the coach will be very much at stake and it could be that in the future Napoli will terminate the cooperation between them. Verona in their last 5 matches they played were unable to win even once and could only collect 2 points from 2 draws, the host status that Verona bears should not have a big impact on Napoli.

Romelu Lukaku though has scored good number of goals this season, it wouldn't be nice if he starts focusing on the past. So far, he has contributed firmly and had a good relationship with Paula Dybala.

I read a news of  a Monza player suspended for being positive to the test results of doppin just like Paul Pogba. What's with all these sad news.

The younger players infused into the first team by Allergri better take the chances they have seriously, they will never have that again if they joke with it. AC Milan now looks likely to win after all this absence. Juventus should still qualify for the Champions League next season after all these problems they have faced.

Against Milan, Juventus will miss around 6-8 players.

It will be a hard game but hey, youngers players will have a good opportunity for shining.

I think it's very difficult to maintain an impressive performance when a team has changed coaches. Napoli also failed to get a coach with high experience in Europe or in the domestic league, this has clearly affected the performance of the players or team. Osimhen is not the only player to have had an impact, but overall Napoli have experienced a decline in form since they worked with Rudi Garcia.

Last season Osimhen recorded 26 goals and 4 assists for Napoli in 32 Serie A matches, while this season Osimhen only scored 6 goals in 8 appearances without assists. The competition for top scorer this season will certainly be even tighter considering that Lautaro Martínez is in his best form with 10 goals and 1 assist in 8 Serie A matches. Of course things can change quickly, so I will not completely judge Napoli's decline in form in 8 matches his first this season.

Unfortunately Lukaku has made a bad name for himself. It`s not easy to go back when you`ve said or done things that annoy the fans, this is unfortunately what happens today.

Imagine that Rino Gattuso had his contract taken away because the fans couldn`t stand him, absurd things that happen when fans think with their gut and not with their head. Happen.

Yeah Napoli are currently in the spotlight for their poor performance, imagine Napoli can only win 4 times from 8 matches and they are 7 points behind the leaders. We don't know if Rudi Garcia is the only one responsible or maybe as a new coach he needs more time. On October 30 Napoli have a chance to prove they are still worthy of consideration for the title race and Napoli must beat Milan in that match it's not easy, but Napoli can take advantage of the moment of playing at home, if Napoli win then their confidence will continue to increase and  back on track.

It is true that Rudi Garcia is considered the person most responsible for the ups and downs in Napoli performance at the moment, although other factors such as player injuries cannot be denied. I admit that fighting from the bottom is easier, rather than defending the Scudetto trophy, it really requires energy and a very good mentality. It cannot be denied that Spalletti departure has thrown Napoli off balance, so that currently they have to be willing to sit in fifth position in the Serie A points table.

Garcia situation is under pressure again after club officials planned to kick him out, another fact is that Osimhen was reportedly injured. I don't understand how Garcia can get Napoli back on track, their next opponents are Verona, Union Berlin and Milan. Losing Osimhen is a setback, if he fails again in these three matches, Garcia will be in a sharper spotlight.

Of course, currently Napoli as the defending champions are in fifth place in the standings with seven points, which is a bad result for coach Rudi Garcia, many even say he could be fired if he doesn't improve.

In the match against Verona, I think Napoli will try to recover from two consecutive defeats in all previous competitions. Victory against Verona is very important for Rudi Garcia, even though without his mainstay striker, Osimhen, he will have to use all his abilities to achieve victory in this match. Because if you can't win, the pressure will increase on Coach Rudi Garcia.

If you look at h2h, Verona has won three matches in their last 25 meetings against Napoli, while Napoli has won 15 matches, and seven matches ended in a draw. My prediction is that the score in this match is 0-1 for Napoli to win.

The new season is interesting, and I can see many teams experiencing what they didn't experience last season and it will make them not to achieve anything in this season. What is coming ahead to Napoli in their remaining games will surprise their fans, which it will cause them not to finish top 4 because Inter, AC Milan and Juventus are doing well in this new season and it makes them to look like the three teams that will dominate through out this tournament. I will like Inter to win this title to improve their strikers in a way big teams will like to show interest on them like the way many big teams are interested on Osimhen and Haaland which it will give their management more incomes.

The things that were feared one by one happened to Napoli, first their overall performance decreased and also Osimhen's outstanding performance last season also decreased, although not significantly but we can still see that it is true that he has decreased. This is normal in football, and indeed maintaining the impressive form they played in last season is more difficult than them stepping up from the bottom. Now the one who gets a lot of attention is their coach, and it is also very reasonable because after all a coach will be the first person to blame when a club's performance declines.

Exactly my thoughts too. What's the essence of being in a club that tends to disregard you and does not feel sorry about it. Like some dudes in a record label where you will be oppressed after carelessly signing some contacts? Osimhen deserves more than he gets from Napoli because it's not just all about money.

The President of Napoli, De Laurentiis also opined that if he was the one, he would have requested that the former club pays the club in the form of compensation per day whenever the club plays any match with out the player citing Neymar incident as an example.


I don't know why there seems to be some kind of arrogance from the president of Napoli, De Laurentiis on the issue of Victor Osimhen. I mean that guy have continued to shown his talent and striking prowess over the season but yet comments will be made about him as if his efforts are not well appreciated. Like I have continued to say, every player needs a morale booster at least to perform even better by nature, so is Victor Osimhen.

Now the player is injured and will be absent in the subsequent matches for three times before he can resume back to feet, yet the president makes discouraging comment on the player when he said that although they have agreed to sign a new deal but won't hesitate to release him should in case things go otherwise from the player's end. Like was that really necessary.

I don't even see empoli in any form that they will be lucky to win Fiorentina; in fact,  I see the match as an easy match for Fiorentina to win with easy efforts. Seriously, empoli performances are too bad to compare with Fiorentina currently. Sometimes football happens in a surprising way. Wish is the only way I believe empoli can have it, but on normal ground, comparing both teams. performances recently show that Fiorentina will be the winner. But let's see what happens. Maybe we are going to see a surprise result at the end of the game.

The match against Verona should be relatively easy for Napoli but the problem for them is that Napoli's performance is not consistent. Napoli is the 5th team in the points table and Verona is the 16th team in the points table. Still, betting on Napoli in this match is a bit risky because even if Napoli does not lose a point in this match, they can draw. In Serie A they have won only two matches in the last five months and they have lost one match and drawn the other two matches in the statistics of the last five matches are not good at all. Betting on a team that has only won two of their last five matches is definitely a bit risky so it might be a good idea to avoid betting on this match.

That depends on how consistent the performance from fiorentina. So far so good. There's no huge decline was happening to the fiorentina's performance at this moment. Im not even caring about fiorentina as this potentially to go up. Empoli is in a critical situation.
It's now on the relegation zone and im sure empoli will be relegated if it will keep lose till the middle of season. The gap to non relegation position is quite big. Empoli, cagliari, udinese and salernitana are teams who probably relegated this season. There will be a team who able to leave from the relegation zone. The way for empoli to make it becomes even far harder. We have another important match to be discussed. Fiorentina will beat empoli with good margins.
There's no doubt in me regarding the result from the match. Im sure that almost all of people are picking fiorentina at this moment. Some people may also make a small bet for empoli to try their luck. 
Empoli really needs three points this time. The way for empoli to win even a single game becomes even harder than before.

With their success in beating Napoli, I think Fiorentina can maintain their performance until the end of the season. Fiorentina recorded a promising performance in eight matches, five wins, two draws and one loss, they have the same points as Juventus, so this could be the reason that they seem to be able to consistently be in the top four until the end of the season.

On the other hand, Napoli still has a chance to maintain the Scudetto, or most realistically finish in the top four of the standings, but they must be able to compete with Fiorentina for the UCL zone. On the other hand, Roma and Lazio are still inconsistent with their performances, so this could provide an opportunity for Fiorentina to fight for the top four positions in the standings until the end of the season.

Reasonable if you are worried because Napoli performance this season is far from expectations, and their main striker is currently injured, Verona can also often make a surprise against Napoli. Even in the previous match, when Napoli vs Verona I mean the both teams met, Napoli couldn't win against Verona. But this is an important match for their new coach, if they can't win in this match there might be lots of screaming Napoli fans insulting him. So I think Rudi will make a lot of efforts to win in that match.

The Milan vs Juventus match is more than enough for a week I think. As you can't have these encounters between the best all the time throughout a season, this game promises a lot of action although I think that most would bet on AC Milan at this stage of the season? But I am not too sure as Juventus Turin is able to play on a different level when needed although they lack consistency for quite a while now. But this doesn't mean that this game can't turn into a great thriller for every football fan. It could be quiet, but it could also end with a lot of cards and goals.

There are plenty of other matches to bet on if you are hesitant to bet on the Verona vs Napoli match, and it looks like there won't be any more matches this week in Serie A than Milan and Juventus. But I will also enjoy some of the matches for tomorrow in Serie A even though I don't place bets anywhere because tomorrow there are only three matches in Serie A with opponents who are not quite evenly matched in strength so there won't be any matches that might be more exciting.
