Napoli is having a hard time in this match. They couldn't score any goals. They were relieved when the penalty was awarded, but Osimhen missed the penalty. Bologna aren't looking to score any goals, but they are defending very solidly. This match looks like it will end the same way it started. If Napoli cannot win this match, they will not have won 3 matches in a row. It was an unexpectedly bad start to the new season from the last champion. There is no trace of last season's game play. The decline in Kvaratskhelia continues. He couldn't complete the full 90 minutes again and couldn't score a goal again.
Napoli is struggling this season in front of goal; their creativity is lacking and their wingers are not firing; this has made Osinhmen struggle for form and also in front of goal, missing the penalty kick means theres fire on the Mountain. The coach will be under fire and could lose his job before xmas if the poor performances continues. A poor start to the season continues for the reigning champions.
What a joke team Napoli has become,they could not score a goal against a team which was put in complete defense and they parked the bus so Napoli had complete control in this game and they took it very slow.This team I can completely say at 100% rate that won't be going far both in the Champions League and especially in the Serie A,such team showed 0 effort to want to win the game and they lacked 100% motivation.Bologna in the end got what they wanted and it is Napoli which is going through some difficult stage with a lost game against Lazio and now a draw with Bologna,these are 5 points lost to the leaders and as such they cannot be fighting for the title during this season.
Mistakes could happen, it is normal and could happen to anyone at any game, there is nothing to worry about that. However, Juventus could have won that game if they played a bit better, they felt like they were a bit tired and for a team that is not having a lot of games at UCL type of situation, the fact that they are tired shows either they are training way too hard, or not enough, or just right amount in a bad way.
Losses happens, and this was one of them for them and it's normal there is nothing wrong with that, everyone loses points and others will too, it's just that if it's about fatigue for a team with little amount of games, that could be a long term issue and I hope that it doesn't become a habit for them.

They are the strongest contenders to the title for this season in Serie A and I was sure about this since I saw the last final of the Champions League against Manchester City they showed a perfect football and they even could have equalized that game against the strongest team of Europe right now.This was the real signal to me as if they could play this well against such a great opponent the weaker teams in Italy would be no problem at all for them.I reinforced my view when they played against Real Sociedad in Champions League and they equalized despite being down since the 4th minute and the referee clearly was not giving them what it was theirs,so this details overall are the ones who make a difference and it is showing during this season in Serie A.
They're definitely one of the frontrunners for the Serie A title and that's a good thing after two seasons where Milan and Napoli failed to win the trophy and now they need to maintain their current form to be one of the frontrunners for the Scudetto this season.But of course it won't be easy because looking at the conditions that have occurred in the previous few seasons, Serie A clubs always struggle to be consistent in the middle of the season or the end of the season and that also happened to Inter in the previous 2 seasons so they must try to break that this season.
They are the best for the start of the season this time in Serie A because of the 5 consecutive wins and 14 goals they created obviously it is a good achievement that they did not get in the previous 2 seasons.
Juventus' first defeat this season was in an away match against Sassuolo and looking at the result, this was actually not too bad a defeat for Juventus. Even so, Juventus failed to get points to widen the gap in the standings again and for Sassuolo this is an additional 3 very important points at home so they can be in a better position.
However, in last night's match there was a quite funny incident between Federico Gatti and goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny, both of them seemed to miscommunicate which ultimately resulted in an own goal for Juventus in injury time. I think Federico Gatti didn't realize he had previously received a pass from Wojciech Szczęsny and instead returned the ball to the goal even though that place had been previously abandoned by Wojciech Szczęsny.

The goal occurred as a result of pressure from the Sassuolo striker, Gatti, I’m sure, understood what was happening, but in such situations actions occur automatically and he (as theoretically should be done) passed the ball to the goalkeeper (who was not in his place). It's funny how Szczesny watched the ball roll into the goal
Inter continue to impress, although today the victory was difficult for them, but in the end 5 wins out of 5 games and a goal difference of 14-1. I think at the end of the tour their title quotes will already be around 1.7
Inter won again, as I said before they will win easily this year.
But actually only 1 goal for the many chances they had this is very little for me because I expected more victory not only a narrow victory from Inter but indeed even so they are still very good in this match and this is their 5th consecutive victory which makes the points perfect especially with very good goal productivity and they only conceded 1 ball so far.Hopefully, their annual illness will not come this season where when they are in good form it will turn bad in no time.
It seems that this season Simone Inzaghi squad is quite stable and consistent, its performance is better than Juventus, Napoli and AC Milan. If you look at the composition of Inter players this season, which has an even squad depth, it looks like they can continue this positive trend until the end of the season.

Juventus have just learned a valuable lesson from Sassuolo, due to many blunders making them have to bear the shame of the results achieved at Sassuolo headquarters. Juventus, whose ambition was to steal points at Mapei Stadium to keep their distance from Inter Milan, instead appeared disappointing, due to the poor performance shown by Juventus players, causing them to concede four goals. A series of mistakes made by Juventus players allowed Sassuolo to score easily against Wojciech Szczesny goal. One of the mistakes made by Juventus players was when they let Andrea Pinamonti stand free, who was not guarded by Juventus players when he headed a wild ball in the penalty box to give Sassuolo a 3-2 lead. The next mistake was Gatti ridiculous own goal at the end of the match.
Juventus appearance seemed to be having problems in terms of mentality, they were not playing as usual, the Juventus players did not seem to find unity in the game. As a result of losing three points, Juventus is stuck in fourth place with 10 points, there is still time for Allegri to return Juventus performance to its original form because the season is still long.
Indeed, the Juventus vs Sassuolo game took an unexpected turn surprising both supporters and observers. Sassuolo was able to take advantage of Juventus ineffective attacking approach because Juventus lacked the determination and emotion necessary to earn a victory. The shock element was increased by Federico gatti own goal in stoppage time. Juventus clearly has to improve their organisation and focus especially in light of Szczesny last second error. Juventus must boost their game in order to stay in the title race as Serie A competition has increased with Inter Milan keeping a spotless record.Juventus appearance seemed to be having problems in terms of mentality, they were not playing as usual, the Juventus players did not seem to find unity in the game.

Juventus is getting factory reset again as the club played even badly from time to the time. The own goal from gatti would be remembered by a lot of people as the best goal all time in serie a.
It's a shame to see juventus is recording another bad result against sassuolo. Sassuolo looked like very superior in this match. Any attacks from sassuolo was enough in making the club becomes panic.

With that win yesterday, Inter have now won all their league matches since the start of the season to maintain their perfect start to the league season. It's very early days of the season but judging by the performances and results of Inter Milan since the start of the season, I think it's safe to say that they're the favorites to win the Italian scudetto this season.

Szczesny returns to his long-standing problem where he can make very bad mistakes, and in addition the Juventus defense allowed Sassuolo players too much in their penalty area. Vlahovic should have also scored, but it’s unclear how he missed from a few meters away, not a very good day for Juventus. Sassuolo has become an awkward opponent for Juventus in recent matches despite their poor start to the season.

Inter really deserved to win the game, they created many chances to ein with more than a goal but where only able to convert one,thanks to a fine goal from their wingback Dimarco for putting them at the front to win Empoli away from home, well whether narrow or not a win is a win moreover they were very dominant, performed better just that they couldn't convert most of their chances to a goal, but they've secured the 3 points and are still the current leaders of the league with about 14 points above Milan who're in 2nd position.
Their next match is against Sasuolo that destroyed Juventus at home yesterday and i can't wait to see how Sasuolo would perform against Inter but the preferred winner of the match is Intermilan, because they're the strongest in the league and are currently unbeaten in their last 5 matches, they've got 5 consecutive wins without any draw and have only conceded 2 goals this season, 1 in the Serie A againt Milan and one in the Champions league against Real Sociedad.
Inter won again, as I said before they will win easily this year.

btw! Inter on their way 5th consecutive victories in 5 matches. This match was a top vs bottom encounter. Empoli, unfortunately, leaves with yet another 0 points.

Udinese currently is struggling to get full points in the match against Fiorentina, but their performance is still not good, because currently Fiorentina is leading with a one score by Lucas Martínez Quarta in the 32nd minute. First half has finished, although there's still a second half but I'm not too sure that Udinese can win, also even though they are playing at home but Fiorentina defense is very tight there.
Also although Udinese played at home, and also at least Udinese had good dominance in this match. But somehow, Udinese is still difficult to make goals and thus, Fiorentina is able to take advantage of counter attacks to be able to make goals. But yes, related to Udinese's performance so far this season also the fact that Udinese is experiencing bad results because after all, of the four more Udinese played before also the fact that Udinese still could not get a victory at all. So yes, with the bad trend that is happening to Udinese this moment, it looks like Udinese does not have a chance to win in this match too.
Inter won again, as I said before they will win easily this year.
A probably missing penalty for Empoli but again Var do not count for them.

I think at least even if you lose the bet, thanks to the own goal you can forget about the loss. However, I also couldn't stop laughing at the absurdity of Federico Gatti and perhaps after the match ended he was laughed at by all his teammates.
Apart from all that, I agree with what you say and maybe this time Juventus' positive trend must end, but they also must not be discouraged in the next match because the season is still long and their target of returning to European competition must at least be achieved.
This defeat was very surprising and entering the 80th minute was like a disaster for Juventus because two goals were scored against them from Sassoulo players and from their own players, this defeat was very unfortunate, and it seems that just playing in domestic competition does not guarantee them to play more good because you can focus more.Apart from all that, I agree with what you say and maybe this time Juventus' positive trend must end, but they also must not be discouraged in the next match because the season is still long and their target of returning to European competition must at least be achieved.
And Inter Milan, who won the match against Empoli even though with a narrow score, further strengthened its position as leader of the standings and it is quite doubtful that Juventus will remain a strong challenger for Inter Milan this season, and it would be better for Juventus to focus on being in the top four so that they can play in the competition Europe next season
