Another interesting game this week is Roma - Napoli.  

I can't say Roma are wonderful in home games as they have 4 losses. Their defense is also not in good shape but I can say they were really productive with 23 goals in 11 home games. But on the other hand, Napoli are even better in away games. A nice scoring effort and a solid defending... If I choose a side of course it would be Conte's side. Napoli are given 2.42 odds for the win. Isn't it great?    I think I will go for the risk. But if I don't then my 2nd option will be BTTS @1.79. Roma are rising slowly with Ranieri recently.

A difficult match to predict indeed, because Milan shouldn't be underestimated. I will rather not bet on this match but to watch and see how the outcome will be like. We might say that Inter will win the match, and it becomes the opposite. Look at what happened in Super Coppa Italia, Milan was able to do a come back and win the match from two goals down.

I believe Inter learnt a big lesson on that day, and wouldn't want such mistake to repeat itself again. This should be an opportunity for Inter to correct what they did wrong, but they still need to be careful because when they are on the lead, because Milan is dangerous and can score goals within the last two minutes to end the match.

Importance of a match in Supper Coppa Italiana and in Serie A is different but that win means many things about quality of AC Milan. It's a warning to Inter Milan, if they are careless in approach, they will lose to AC Milan again.

In a match between two strong opponents, result is really hard to predict correctly. For example their match lately in Super Coppa Italiana, and in La Liga, a latest El Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Inter Milan must pay full focus on this Milan derby if they don't want to lose points to AC Milan when Scudetto competition is going to be very hot.

Betting in Milan derby is very interesting because the derby is so exciting, and when you bet your money in the derby, your emotion will be affected a lot during the match. It makes your match watching is more exciting than if you don't bet in it.

It is true that this Derby match is very difficult to predict how the result will be and I personally also find it very difficult to predict who will win in this match, whether Inter or Milan. In the last match, Inter lost to AC Milan in the Supercoppa Italiana and of course in this Serie A match. Inter definitely wants to take full points from Milan. If I predict that match at Sansiro, Inter will win because I am sure that if you look at the last match, Inter really performed well and Inter always puts strong pressure on their enemy's back line and I am sure that in the next match, Milan will lose even though it was in their last meeting with Inter. Milan won and I'm sure Inzaghi will be able to learn from that mistake when he played Milan in the Supercoppa Italiana.

It is true that betting certainly contains risks and of course we have to really hone our ability to predict this Derby match and of course there is still time to predict this match.

In Italy, Milan derby is one of biggest match each season, and this derby match is always hot no matter situations of one or both teams in the derby. Both Inter Milan and AC Milan currently have good squads with many star players, and they can contribute a very tight but exciting derby for us.

Milan derby is not like El Clasico because traditional favorite tactic in Italy is different than in Spain, with more defensive in Italy and more attacking in Spain. Milan derby is like other matches in Serie A, usually doesn't have many goals but it is exciting by other aspects.

Inter Milan are strongly definitely but they must be very careful with a strong and experienced opponent like AC Milan. If Inter Milan can not solve the Milan derby with goal and make AC Milan collapse, this opponent are able to beat Inter Milan any time. We know Inter Milan are different and more stronger than Parma, but they can have a same ending like Parma if they are careless in Milan derby.

AC Milan have big target in this season, top four, and to finish this season in top four, they will have to play well and achieve good results from now, starting with Milan derby. It won't be an easy derby for Inter Milan and they have high risk to lose points in this derby.

Napoli can win this match and I believe so, Lazio have good performances in this season as well as latest form, but Napoli in this season with Conte is different than the last season. They can win minimally even they did not dominate a match or play beautiful football.

With its current great performance, I also believe that Inter will most likely be able to sweep all three matches without defeat. Because Inter currently has very good performance and is very different compared to Milan, Juventus or Fiorentina. Therefore, the worst possibility that Inter can get in these three matches is probably just a draw. But I don't think that will be possible. Because as we know, currently Inter is aiming to win so they can continue to compete with Napoli in Serie A. Because currently Napoli have played their 22nd match against Juventus and as a result Napoli was able to win the match with a score of 2-1. So with this, currently Napoli is 3 points ahead of Inter in the Serie A standings. So Inter needs to win against Milan to be able to equalize points with Napoli again. Because if for example Inter can only get a draw against Milan, of course this will make Napoli at an advantage. So for this reason, Inter really must win every match to be able to compete better with Napoli.

Juventus has just got their first loses in Serie A from Napoli and Juventus also dissapointing on Champion league because they lost from Benfica i think this is showed Juventus is not in the good condition but this weekend they got weak opponent Empoli and if we see from Empoli recent performance which never won since last month i think beating this team is not hard for Juventus however i still put my trust to Juventus which this time they will be able to beat Empoli and the final scores probably 1-0 or 2-0 for Juventus

This will be an important match for both of them because in addition to maintaining the first position in the standings, AC Milan itself also needs points to improve its temporary standings. It is difficult to make predictions in these two big matches because they bring together four teams who are fighting for their respective interests in the hunt for the champion or improving their standings. Small mistakes made can have a bad effect on the journey ahead so whoever can take advantage of the moment will provide an advantage.

A draw might be a consideration because I am sure the four clubs will be quite careful in the game later. If you want to bet, maybe Napoli has a much bigger chance of winning the match because after all Lazio is not much better than Napoli at the moment.

What an exciting game to watch between the pair. This kind of games don’t always come by where one team dominates all round and the other just get goals and end up winning the game, this is the case of Lazio because they dominated the game all round but were not so good defensively to stop the visitors from scoring as they also couldn’t score more goals to win the game. Disappointing result, definitely not the kind they would have wished for because I feel like they deserved to win.

Well, this will be a match that will be very useful for other teams, such as Napoli that you mentioned for example. Because if Inter Milan loses this match, they will be more comfortable at the top of the standings. Also, teams like Atalanta will also use this to reduce their distance with Inter Milan in the standings.
It should also be remembered that every time a team competes, the other teams will pay close attention and they are prepared to take advantage of the situation if the team that is their competitor cannot get maximum results from the match. This must also be considered so that they do not lose their spirit.

The focus of both must be much greater in the next five matches because they will face strong opponents so in those matches they must be able to secure points if they want to stay in the title race. For this week Napoli is much easier because they will face Lazio while Inter Milan will face AC Milan. If you look at the match, Napoli will be much more advantageous because they have a greater chance of winning the match while Inter Milan is much more difficult even though they are stronger, but we can look at the previous Derby as a reference where Inter Milan lost to their city rivals.

AC Milan's strength has declined quite a bit this season, they have not completed the gap in the front line that is what is hampering their performance this season. If you look at the defense line of course they have a good defense but when they build an attack of course they are overwhelmed because there is no finishing that they can do to score goals. In the Champions League of course their last match was so disappointing for fans because they lost and had to go through the play-off round.

In Serie A, AC Milan will face Inter Milan, of course this match is always quite hot and filled with many yellow cards. In this meeting I doubt AC Milan will be able to beat Inter Milan. Because Inter Milan is so consistent in Serie A, of course this match will be very focused by Inter Milan to find 3 points in order to top the standings.

Choosing both teams to score is an interesting choice in my opinion. It is indeed difficult to predict the final result of a derby match, but Inter Milan current performance is more convincing than AC Milan. The ambition of both teams to secure full points is very big, therefore there is a possibility that the match will end in a draw. In terms of consistency, everyone can easily see that Inter Milan is much more consistent.

The change of manager has not been able to make AC Milan appear more consistent, but Sergio Conceicao looks more promising than Paulo Fonseca. So in my opinion this derby match cannot be said to be balanced, but the prestige at stake makes the meeting of the two teams always worth waiting for. Inter Milan will start the match with more confidence, after they managed to ensure automatic qualification to the last 16 of the Champions League, while AC Milan had to take the play-off route.

Derby time!
Milan vs Inter, can Milan beat Inter once more this season?

Sometimes the pressure that comes with expectations on teams at a derby can actually contribute to all of this happening,  the only time some level of certainty can be seen in a Derby game is when it becomes obvious the weaknesses of an opposition but then there's always this battle for the supremacy of a particular team over the other and then even a weak side at that point will then appear strong meanwhile they are supposed to be a weak team of which they even do after in subsequent games against another teams.

If you ask me i dont know what to think so much about this derby of Milan. Both teams have pretty good chances or options to think about the victory.

Milan is winning this key matches since the coach is Sergio Coincencao and Inter is a better overall team and is waiting for revenge after what hapened on the Supercup.

Considering the current performance in Serie A matches and the squad quality of the teams, I don't see a big chance for AC Milan to win the derby. Even if AC Milan will play at their home, it won't increase much the chance to win the match. No doubt, Inter Milan is the favorite team to win the match. They have a stronger squad, they are playing with a more stable performance during this season, and they are trying to secure another 3 points to compete for the title with Napoli. So, Inter Milan must play all out to win the match, they won't give the chance for AC Milan to steal the point.

By the way, I don't think they were beaten by Dynamo because they want to focus on the derby in Serie A. They played badly in UCL, that's the reason why they got a defeat. I'm not sure the coach has evaluated and got the solution. Moreover, Inter Milan seems stronger than Dynamo. So, it is hard if AC Milan expects an easier match when they play against Inter. 

Head to head comparison, inter Milan has more advantage than AC Milan, based on form too inter Milan are more inform than AC Milan. The point difference between inter Milan and AC Milan are very huge. Inter Milan are second while Ac Milan are 7th. Inter Milan are having 50 points after 21 games while Ac Milan are having 34 points therefore the two clubs aren't on the same level but since it's a derby, the game might not end as we're expecting as the underdog might go on to win the game but still it won't affected standing of the clubs on the table. The odds are in favour of Inter Milan as they're the clubs with the most likelihood of winning.

Yeah, it's very difficult betting on derby games because nobody knows how the result will be at the end of 90 minutes, an in form team can lose to an out of form team in derby matches that's why those kind of games are dicey. Derby games are like war games where a team would really want to win because it gives the fans that bragging right for the period their team won on the Derby, maybe that's why most atimes derby games do end in draws.

If we think theoretically, the derby factor introduces additional randomness, which means we should bet on the underdog - Milan. But Milan is so bad that it's scary to do so  
Milan lost to Dynamo in the Champions League, how to evaluate this? Did they confirm that they can't do anything this season or is this just a concentration on the upcoming derby? Both options seem viable.
