It is true that Napoli's target this season is to reclaim the Scudetto, which is why Napoli brought in Conte and also several new players such as Lukaku. This has been proven, because until last week Napoli was able to stay at the top of the Serie A standings quite well. So I think Napoli's decision to bring in Conte is really the right step. Because even though he is not yet optimal, Conte has provided quite significant development for Napoli. Then for now Napoli's position has been shifted by Atalanta, because Napoli was unable to beat Lazio yesterday. I also feel that this defeat will not have a big impact on Napoli being able to continue competing for the Scudetto. Maybe Napoli should really learn from their mistakes and cover up any existing weaknesses.

As you said, Napoli can definitely play well again, because this season Napoli doesn't have a busy schedule like the other big teams in Serie A. Therefore, it is certain that Napoli will be able to focus on continuing to develop strategies and also see the weaknesses of their opponents. Apart from that, talking about Atalanta, I don't think we can just underestimate this team. Because in the previous season Atalanta was able to become champion in the European League (UEL). So with this, I think Atalanta will be a little difficult for Napoli to get rid of. Therefore, Napoli now needs to be more focused and maintain better consistent performance. Because in my personal opinion the competition in Serie A this season is much tighter than in previous seasons.

Atalanta also have such a tight schedule like all the other teams at top positions. But they are the team handling this busy calendar in the best way.    Looking at their next games, they are going to continue playing many games in such a short time period. Do you think they can get over it and maintain this huge winning streak on the upcoming days?

I'm really excited about their Real Madrid game already for example. If they win that one home too they will surely get more attention. Gasperini is doing his best for a title this season.

Your prediction was not wrong at all, Udinese managed to get 3 points at the Brianteo Stadium, I was personally quite surprised to see this result, because based on statistics Monza dominated the match. That was with 67% in possession, and 27 shot attempts. With all that, Monza should have at least been able to get 1 point because they were playing at home. Unfortunately they were not lucky enough because Udinese came with a mission to get 3 points.

Both sides needed the points but Udinese needed it more because they still had a chance at surviving in the Italian league but Monza are 19th placed so sometimes I ask myself why these clubs even need to work hard when they are already in the relegation zone. As was expected, the game was tough, with the both sides asking questions of each other and Monza tried their best to frustrate Udinese and would have succeeded if Bijol hadn't come to the rescue.
 As it stands, Udinese sit at 9th spot and if the like of Bologna and AC Milan are to make the mistake of losing their next games and Udinese wins theirs, it only means that they would progress to 7th, gradually pushing themselves to make European competition next season if they can be able to finish in the top spots.

Since last season, Juventus has been like that, they have a fairly weak defense and often miss winning opportunities, last season alone, Juventus club had the most draws from the top 5 clubs and that's what caused them to drop out of the title race because Juventus lost a lot of points. This season it seems like Juventus will also get a lot of draws and I predict the match against Fiorentina will definitely also result in a draw if Thiago Motta has not improved his club's current performance.

Is Napoli defeat an assessment of the doubts about Napoli being to win the scudetto?
Defeat at home against Lazio was indeed very disappointing because Napoli were the favorites and they were expected to be able to win the match in order to continue to top the standings and really compete for the championship title.
Come on, it still too early to doubt Napoli, in the future there are still many match and it is still possible for unexpected things to happen that Napoli shows, they must be able to regain their confidence and the results of this season if they are unable to win the scudetto then they can get runner-up.

We also can't force what happens to some players who are injured, and that is Juventus' key player, the weak defense that makes Juventus always concede goals, this is actually what Thiago Motta must evaluate to really improve their defense line, even though they haven't suffered a defeat, but if they continue to expect a draw, it will complicate Juventus' position at the end of the season, and they might not even appear in the Champions League next season if they play like this, hosting Fiorentina at least Juventus can win the match even though Fiorentina has 1 postponed match.

Yes, it's true that there are at least 4 teams that still have 1 match postponed at this time. Namely Inter Milan, Fiorentina, AC Milan and Bologna.  And this is very interesting for us to pay attention to. Because currently Inter Milan and Fiorentina have the same points, namely 31 points. And AC Milan and Bologna also have the same number of points, namely 22 points.

If Inter Milan or Fiorentina get full points, they could potentially overtake Napoli or Atalanta. But even if AC Milan or Bologna get full points, they still can't overtake Juventus.

Juventus this season they are unbeaten. But unfortunately they got too many draws. And Juventus has the record for the most draws this season with 9 draws. I feel Dejavu because last season the same thing happened.

You made a wonderful analysis here which came out perfectly right as Udinese  won the match 1-2. Monza did not allow them get away with the first half one goal lead hence they got the goals even at the opening of the second hand, but before the end of the match, Jaka Bijol put Udinese on the lead again until the end of the match. I think Udinese did a wonderful job tonight even as they played away. I never expected them to win neither would I have had the courage to play them to win rather, I thought the match was going to end in a draw since it was between two teams that are almost of the same strength when you add the home advantage that Monza would be enjoying.

Like in any other team we go through some highs and low in the season, and it is always a question of how do we keep the fighting spirit when we are going through the lows. On the pitch, there must be problems to be solved The ideas are good that by changing the tactics and at the same time giving confidence to all our players, those problems that appear on the field must be solved. A rotation and calls for young players could be the key to keeping the team charged until the very end of a season. When the going gets tough this is where the backing of the fans and the feeling that we are in it together as a team will set the wheels in motion to a return to winning ways. .android The final points in the tournament do not stand on a single game but the performance we create altogether.

Bologna had a perfect performance in the game against Juventus and they got a 2-2 result against this team. Bologna was even about to beat Motta and his players in this match with a 2-1 result and they were about to win the last moments of the game, Juventus scored a goal and they got one point from this match against Bologna.
Now Juventus is in the 6th place of the Serie A and the fans of this team were angry at the end of the match because get draw results over and over while the fans expected to see their team beat Bologna.

The match was a close duel. I honestly thought Napoli could win this match, but losing to Lazio at home was a big problem. This match, which caused them to fall from the lead, brought Lazio to the top. In the meantime, Lazio achieved a significant success by winning two matches in a row. The fierce competition of the best teams in the Italian league for the championship this year makes the matches more enjoyable. It is very good to watch the Italian league this year. I am really curious about who will be the champion at the end of the year.

Napoli main target this season is to win the Scudetto, Antonio Conte was recruited with an expensive deal for that purpose. The defeat to Lazio will not drastically reduce Napoli chances, I think without matches in European competitions, Napoli will easily rise and return to creating consistency. Inter Milan does have the opportunity to overtake Napoli position, but they must ensure they get three additional points in the postponed match against Fiorentina.

The season is still too long, Atalanta may only be able to maintain the top of the standings temporarily, Napoli and Inter Milan in my opinion are more reliable to lead the standings in the future. Lazio must work hard to maintain their current position, while hoping they can compete in the top four of the standings. Juventus and AC Milan may only rise towards the second half of the season, when that happens, the competition in Serie A will be even more competitive.

There is only one game in the Italian Serie A today. Monza will play Udinese at home. When I look at the stats, I see that Monza haven't won a match for 6 weeks. Under Alessandro Nesta, Monza have 3 wins and 3 draws in the last 6 weeks. They have only 1 win this season. They are currently 19th in the league. On the other hand, Udinese, like Monza, have been getting bad results in the last weeks. They have 4 defeats and 1 draw from their last 5 games in the league. They are currently in 10th place with 17 points. Both teams have had bad results in the last weeks. But on paper I think Udinese are better than Monza. I think Udinese will not lose this match.

With the defeat suffered by Napoli in this match tactically, the conditions of several competing clubs will gain momentum where now not only Atalanta have managed to overtake Napoli from the top position, now Inter and also Fiorentina still have the same chance where now Inter only need to win with a score of 2 goals or more to be able to overtake Atalanta and Napoli directly and be at the top of the standings later.

Serie A is becoming more interesting now where every match will be an important moment considering the condition of the competition is still going on tightly so that when a club that is in the top 4 loses the match then indeed they must quickly get up so as not to be left too far behind and I think the standings will now change especially if you see the performance of Inter and Fiorentina then I think their remaining 1 match will be maximized well later.

I agree that Napoli had some big plans, can't say that they were aiming for anything specific, they are just looking to do as well as they could, and that's what they are doing now. Napoli losing definitely hurt them the most, they lost their top spot, which isn't easy of course, it's always hard to drop from the top, but I am sure they will try their best without a doubt.

All in all, I think it's going to be not a big deal at all to see them have this kind of result, not really, it's going to be a simple situation for them. Lazio on the other hand got a good win, they are doing better now, and if they can keep this up, like have a few more weeks where they get wins, they are going to be ranked even higher I am sure.

Yeah the games left to play will definitely effect some changes on the table but the thing is I don’t really like the outstanding games because they most do effect the table for some clubs you see them ending up dropping almost all matches all because of maybe fixture pile up. Seriously juventus have been doing great defensively but they seriously need to start scoring goals and winning matches because most at times all this draws seems like a loss for club that wants to compete. Milan to me simply need to just start playing as a team and nothing more, they have enough quality to win matches

some teams still have a difference of 1 game unplayed from the other teams. the Inter vs Fiorentina match will affect the standings. while Juve and Milan must work hard to be able to at least enter the top 4 of the standings. especially Juve who have not lost this season but they have drawn too many. they must maximize the next match to get 3 points. while Milan who have quite a difference in points, they have a lot to fix to be able to appear more consistent. they are not good enough this season.

Indeed, it is too early to judge a club is strong enough to win Schudetto or not. Because, with just 1 match result, there is a possibility that they will shift positions in the top 5. And Napoli, too, I am sure, still wants the Schudetto title to return to the club, that is why they are willing to spend a lot of money to get Conte as their coach.

The 18th match later, there may be some more changes in position considering there are some big matches to play. The most obvious is the match between:
Lazio vs Atalanta
Juventus vs Fiorentina
Milan vs Roma

Their victory will affect each other's position.

Napoli full strength football team played very bad in today match and that team could not do any goal in this match and that was one sided match and we always know that Lazio ful strength football team will win this match and ultimately that was happened in this match. After this win Lazio full strength team has good points on the table because that team got 3 full points in this match and defense of that team was excellent because we always watched the matches between these two teams and always Lazio was favorite and today we saw the same kind of result and I think it was repeat telecast of previous matches. Isaksen was the player who did goal in this match and he was match changer because without his goal there could be draw match.
