Yes, it's true that the ranking in the Serie A standings can change drastically even with the results of just one match in one week. Especially in the top 5 rankings, all of which don't have much difference in points. Even Inter Milan, Fiorentina and Lazio each have the same number of points, namely 31 points. But Inter Milan and Fiorentina can indeed be superior because they still have 1 match postponed that they can take advantage of. Even though the postponed match itself will actually bring Inter Milan and Fiorentina together. But every season, Serie A always has a different excitement that makes this league never boring.

There will be several Atalanta matches that may determine or even widen the gap in points with other teams. Among them, they have matches against Lazio, Juve, and Napoli. If Atalanta can continue to be consistent with their winning trend against several strong teams in the current standings, the results will certainly be an advantage for those who are currently leading the standings with a small difference in points.

their defeat to Lazio has left them in 2nd place at the moment, a disappointing result, but in football winning and losing is a common thing, so this doesn't surprise me at all. Well, some time ago they also slipped and now they lost in the last week. In terms of appearance, there are actually no serious problems that I see, but what they are currently showing is not enough to make them comfortable at the top of the standings, meaning they must always improve their performance and one more thing they must remember, they must be able to maintain consistency.

Yes, some of the players who are postponed will definitely be affected by the standing results later. Because of that, we still can't be sure who will survive and become the top standing in Serie A this season, seeing how tight their points are, and there are still matches that have not been played by several top clubs. Meanwhile, Atalanta took part well in the first position. It's just that, they were just defeated by Real Madrid in the UCL. I'm sure this shouldn't affect their quality and performance in Serie later. Fortunately in the next match, Atalanta will play against Cagliari, they should be able to handle it well.

Changes in the Serie A standings are very likely to occur every week. Moreover, the points difference for each team currently competing at the top of the standings is very small. Winning and losing will affect the ranking. I think this is what makes Serie A this season even more interesting. Atalanta scored more goals but they also conceded very often in each match, the chances of Inter or Fiorentina who still have a difference of 1 match are very likely to catch Atalanta at the top of the standings.

It was disappointing result for Napoli and they deserved to feel bad and be worried because they lost a very crucial point when it mattered most, losing at home to Lazio is really poor for a title contender team, they should have done better but then that is football. Napoli have lost their first spot but they are still much in the race despite the loss and they are even likely to drop to 4th place if Inter and Fiorentina win their outstanding matches but the gap is not that much. They should use the experience and learn from their mistakes so they don’t drop points unnecessarily if they want to challenge for the title.

They are doing well compared to last season and they still have every chance of competing and winning the title despite dropping points, other teams will drop points as well as the league progresses so there is no need to panic at all.

Napoli shouldn't be worried about just having this loss, things happen and as long as they can recover from this then there won't be too much of a problem and they should be handling it without much problem. I understand that it may look like it's a bigger deal, but in reality it is not really that much of a big deal at all, we need to remember how this could be a very normal situation without a doubt.

So, I believe we are overreacting whenever we are saying this could be normal, and we should just move on with this without much issues. I believe Napoli will have a shot at the title, this loss won't be the thing that makes them lose it, they will still have a chance to win it no matter what happened in this game.

Both teams here are under pressure, but I don't see how Juventus Turin could be winning this game. I think it is probable that this is going to be a draw eventually as that is the favorite result for Juventus Turin so far this season But no jokes, there defense is good while Manchester City's offense has had some problems. Though a draw would be a result that both would accept, a defeat would be really bad as the table is becoming more tight towards the 27+ ranks.

But in the league Juventus needs to level up their game. Think about how weird it would be if they finish the season without losing a game but yet are to be found somewhere in the middle of the table. Going undefeated is one thing, being successful is another thing.

In the last four matches, Juventus has always failed to win, all the matches they have played have always ended in a draw. I think this is not a good thing for Juventus, because even though they have never lost in Serie A until the 15th week. But still, with the series of draws that Juventus continues to get, now Juventus is only able to stay in 6th position in Serie A and has quite a big difference in points with the team in 5th position (Lazio). So with this in mind, Juventus seems to have to immediately improve its poor performance by bringing in new players in the upcoming winter transfer market. Because what I see, currently Juventus has significant weaknesses in every line. The proof alone is that in every match Juventus often concede goals and apart from that Juventus are also less productive in scoring goals this season. So with this, it means it is clear that currently Juventus has weaknesses in every line. Therefore, Juventus needs several new players who can cover these weaknesses well.


Apart from that, in the UCL, Juventus will face a very strong opponent, namely Manchester City. I personally really doubt Juventus in this match, but we'll see, whether Juventus can beat Manchester City or not. Maybe in this match Juventus will play optimally, because if Juventus loses this match I think Juventus' potential to qualify for the next round in the UCL will be smaller. Therefore, I am very curious about the results of this match.

* Cagliari - Atalanta BC => Atalanta BC
 * Udinese - Napoli => Napoli
 * Juventus - Venezia => Juventus
 * Parma - Hellas Verona => Parma
 * AC Milan - Genoa => AC Milan

I would say that we have a rather quiet week from a betting point of view, I don't know if Atalanta will be excessively tired but in theory all those selected should win

Kvaratskhelia is an important of Napoli recent seasons and possibly his absence by injury affects Napoli attacking system and performances. Without Kvaratskhelia, Napoli have less flexibility and creativeness in attacking and with less dribbles, key passes and assists from him, Lukaku have less opportunities in the front line.

Napoli recently don't have good form and they are falling down in Serie A rank table. Now they only lost their first position to Atalanta but they can easily lose their second position to three clubs behind, Inter Milan, Fiorentina and Lazio, with only 1 point more than these clubs. Inter Milan and Fiorentina have their direct postponed match because of a health accident of Bove and with that match, one of them can take over the second position of Napoli easily, even it is a draw, it's enough for them to take over the second position with better goal differences.

The tension of the Champions League match is always different from matches in any league at this time so that the defeat experienced by Atalanta when hosting Real Madrid is a very common thing even though it is very painful for the Atalanta team itself because Atalanta is playing at home. But Atalanta itself is also very aware that Real Madrid is trying to win in order to secure itself into the playoff position so that it must be truly understood by Atalanta and also by its own fans. Because Real Madrid is not a team to be underestimated even though their current condition is not good.

Napoli shouldn't be worried about just having this loss, things happen and as long as they can recover from this then there won't be too much of a problem and they should be handling it without much problem. I understand that it may look like it's a bigger deal, but in reality it is not really that much of a big deal at all, we need to remember how this could be a very normal situation without a doubt.

So, I believe we are overreacting whenever we are saying this could be normal, and we should just move on with this without much issues. I believe Napoli will have a shot at the title, this loss won't be the thing that makes them lose it, they will still have a chance to win it no matter what happened in this game.

Fiorentina surprisingly managed to perform very well this season, slowly they occupy a good position in the standings they will be a real threat to strong competitors above them. Not only Fiorentina Lazio also deserves to be wary of this season.
These two clubs are dark horses, one of them could give a surprise at the end of the season, but unfortunately AC Milan and Juventus have not shown their fangs as big clubs.

That's when a team is lulled by the competitiveness they show and in the end they lose concentration and have to lose two consecutive matches against one team. The first defeat should be an evaluation for the team and they can learn from it to make changes in the second match, but what happened was that Napoli did not learn from their mistakes. The defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League should not affect Atalanta in Serie-A because they are still maintaining a positive trend and still have two points above Napoli in Serie-A. Both Atalanta and Napoli still have the opportunity to compete for the trophy, but how far can both be consistent until the end of the season.

Napoli should take lessons from the defeat, even though their opponent was Lazio. They missed the first place and now they have to wait for Atalanta defeat to jump in front of them. The problem is that Atalanta recovered very well after the weak start and they look like unstoppable right now. Their defeat against Real Madrid shouldn't affect them since they did quite well and scored two goals which is good in my opinion.
