Napoli vs Roma

Napoli (predicted lineup): Alex Meret, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani, Alessandro Buongiorno, Mathias Olivera, Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, Stanislav Lobotka, Scott McTominay, Matteo Politano, Romelu Lukaku, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Roma (predicted lineup): Mile Svilar, Gianluca Mancini, Evan N'Dicka, Angelino, Mehmet Zeki Celik, Stephan El Shaarawy, Kouadio Kone, Bryan Cristante, Niccolo Pisilli, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Artem Dovbyk.

Napoli is in the 4th place on the table which is so bad for them and they are going head-to-head against Roma. This match is very important for Napoli to win to regain back their spot at the top. Atalanta, Inter and Fiorentina have won their 13 round of the league which makes them push down Napoli to fourth place currently, Napoli is facing a lot of challenges regarding strikers because they are lacking goal scoring. They have to take the Roma poor performance to gain back their first position.
It was a goalless draw in the first half and the match wasn't as interesting as I expected it. I thought that Napoli would have scored one goal before the end of the first half because Roma is not in a good form currently to hold down Napoli from scoring, but I was wrong. If this match ends in a draw, it means that if Lazio wins Bologna, Napoli will be on the 5th position. Clubs that we don't expect are struggling to see how they can be in a good position to win the title in the long.

It seems quite difficult for Napoli to score a goal because the score is still 0-0 in the first half, even though in reality Napoli dominates the match well. Beforehand, I think Napoli will be able to score a goal in the first half, because at least AS Roma with its new coach may still find it difficult to make the performance as expected. But yes, at least in the first half Ranieri managed to  make AS Roma not concede even though they only played defensively. Of course, I personally will still be very curious, whether Ranieri is able to make AS Roma not lose in this away match.

Because after all, Napoli who has experienced a decline in position in the standings, of course Napoli is very ambitious to be able to return to the top of the standings by targeting a win  in this home match. If Napoli fails to get full points in this match, then of course the scudetto competition will be more difficult and interesting, because there is still no team that is able to secure its position at the top of the standings.

I admit that Juventus does have a weak attack line and I have also said that it is very difficult when Juventus hopes to win the title this season only relying on the strength of a very strong defense line. But the results in each match can only get a draw or only 1 point.
Maybe this is one of Motta strategies to try the strategy he has and see how the squad potential is. But unfortunately I doubt if Juventus will bring in quality players in january because of financial problems that prevent Juventus from spending too much money.
Or maybe Motta will only bring in attacking players at a cheaper price but have reliable talent.
The attack line is indeed a problem that needs to be evaluated and now we can see the ability of Juventus' forwards to score goals in several matches that have taken place. If we rely on strength like now, then I am a little pessimistic that Juventus can compete for the title because on the other hand there are teams like Napoli and Inter Milan whose front line performance is much better. There is not much that needs to be fixed and the most crucial thing is the front line so that Juventus can be seen to be more productive in scoring goals to get victory.

If the financial constraints they are experiencing then simply maximize the purchase for the front line and Motta can maximize some of the potential that currently exists. If Juventus wants to compete for the title this season then they must also look at the team's ability and how far they are ready to compete.

Juventus have definitely not been that bad. But they have also not been good enough that they can actually push for the league title. The attacking lineup for them has not been very bad. But it has also not been so good that they will be able to win crucial matches and score goals when needed. That is the reason why they are not winning as many matches as they should. All the time it feels like they are playing really defensively. And I think that is holding them back. The performance have been kind of stale for them.

Bringing in attacking players is probably going to boost the scoring rate for Juventus. But I think they will have to change their mentality of playing defensively first. Without attacking enough, you are not going to create enough chances to actually score goals.

To be fair when both teams are known for their good defenses, this was the result that was the most expected one, both teams have great defenses and they lack a lot of things on offense as well.

Milan did try a few times, and so did Juventus, and when you watch the highlights you could literally realize that you are not going to get a game that would make much sense, it wasn't really even a highlight, it was a boringlight or whatever you want to call it. I didn't watch the full game so I can't call it much, but watched the highlights on youtube and I can say that even the highlights were boring. Sometimes you have these type of games, but considering both teams are good teams, they must be happy to not lose the game against each other.
Well, you've got a point. When two good teams meet each other and can't get the best out of the other, the next thing to settle for is a draw but if anything, I felt Milan would have taken advantage of Juventus only need to defend and try to poach more. When a team relies solely on their defense strategy, definitely, there'd come a period where they will get tired and start making mistakes but Milan isn't that kind of club that makes use of that kind of opportunity. They become clueless after they've tried the only thing they are good at, which is to force counterattacks.

Parma 1 - 3 Atalanta

Atalanta has surprised me a lot this season. They are managing to fight to stay at the top and if they continue to perform this well, then I wouldn't be surprised to see them become champions. All that's needed is for Inter and Napoli to lose a few games. It will be very interesting to follow this battle between Atalanta and Inter and Napoli.

Atalanta have 3 defeats and although they have the same number of points compared to Inter and Fiorentina, their defense seems worse. Atalanta have a great attack, but as Ferguson said, attack wins games and defense wins titles.
Overall, if it was possible for a team outside the big four to win the title this season, I would choose Fiorentina. De Gea deserves a surprise title  Cool

The risk of a team that tightens up their defense too much is that they find it difficult to score goals, I think that is realistic when Juventus play quite cautiously and they are very focused on their defense so they don't dare to go out or take risks to do many attacks to be able to score goals.
The draw against AC Milan was not so surprising, Juventus have played like that several times against strong Serie A teams and I think a team like Juventus is quite boring to watch.
When Juventus are up against high quality teams such as AC Milan, a strong defensive strategy is commonplace. If defence is received too much, creativity goes down and the chance of scoring goals also less. This kind of tactic is however, important to mention that this tactic is usually used to keep the game stable and to avoid any mistake in the game that can be capitalised by the opponent. But there is still a role for Juventus to be more plays from the front and attack more freely without losing all its balance of game.

Juventus can now try to apply a quick transition from the defence to attack that must keep their game interesting and good. But players with good speed and vision can also help you to otherwise break through the an opponent's defense. They can be a bigger threat with a more varied combination of games, without constantly leaving the defence zone to do it. This sort of strategy isn’t just better for getting more maximum results, it’s also a secondary kind of treat for those spectators who fall in love with the globe, but can’t often watch passionate matches.

With AS Roma condition this season, Napoli should be able to take advantage of the condition to steal points because this victory will return them to the top of the Serie A standings. The 13th match is the capital that Conte needs to maximize, he managed to bring Napoli in his first season very well so AS Roma must be defeated badly. For Conte there is no option to share points at this time.
It will be an important result for the summit in the Napoli-Roma fight that will start soon. If Napoli wins, they will gain an important 3 points on the way to the championship, but if Roma wins, they will end their poor performance. Especially for Roma, such big matches are very important. Because by making their opponents lose points, they will gain points themselves. If they want to be in the upper ranks right now, the biggest impact will be to win such goals. Otherwise, they will not be able to go up in the rankings.

Milan - Juventus was just a quite boring game and a disappointment for me.  Sad  Watching no goals wasn't my expectation. I know how strong Juventus defense is but I thought we would watch some good finishing anyway. It isn't a good score for any sides. None of the sides got even close to 1.00 xG. Juventus will get a little more behind in the title race. Milan continue to suffer at the 7th position.

Meanwhile Atalanta and Inter both won. Especially Inter's win was fascinating.  Grin  Fiorentina are also ahead against Como now. Napoli are under bigger pressure to win this week so let's see what they do against Roma tonight...
I didn't expect Milan to draw the match because Milan are very strong and play well against Juventus. But these two teams could not score a single goal and ended their interest in the match. In this match, Juventus needed to win  but their players also looked weak due to which they could not score and the match was drawn at 0-0. Juventus will have to play the match well or else it will go further behind which could also be out of this race.  Milan have secured this position due to their strength and good play and they will improve their position in the next matches. They win because of their ability and good sportsmanship. Inter Milan's win was good because they scored 5 goals and that made the match interesting.
As one of the matches played by two big teams in Serie A, of course we expect to see an exciting match with many goals happening, the both teams played very carefully throughout the match, besides that the solid defense of the two teams in the match made every attack built by the two teams only ended in vain,   so it is not surprising that both teams have difficulty scoring goals in match.
If we talk about the Roma Vs Napoli match, of course the match will be one of the other big matches that played today, I think in the match, Napoli will actually get pressure to win, especially after the positive results from scudetto rival teams such as Inter and Atalanta, although Roma this season is in a slump, Of course they should not be underestimated, considering that Roma is also not an easy opponent to beat, especially now that they are in the hands of an experienced coach like Ranieri

The draw experienced by AC Milan and Juventus also did not make Juventus in a worse position because Juventus can still stay in the top six in the current Serie A standings, but Juventus and AC Milan will both find it difficult to catch up with other teams like Napoli if Napoli can win when they host AS Roma in today's match. Now the competition is still quite fierce for the top five teams in Serie A because the level of point difference is still quite close, especially for Atalanta and Inter Milan who have both been able to win a lot in this week's matches.
This draw is fair enough for both teams but also quite disappointing because I expect when two big teams meet the tension of the match will be much higher but I don't see that in their match at least even though they have to share points there are goals that can be scored by each opponent.
Milan and Juventus still have many shortcomings this season they are already behind their top competitors they must immediately fix what is wrong in the team if they don't want to have difficulty achieving a good position at the end of the standings.
And regarding napoli vs as roma napoli must win if they want to be at the top of the standings again because currently their position has been shifted by atalanta.

What Juventus lacks is a playmaker, and not just a goal scorer. Dusan Vlahovic is good at scoring goals but I can't call him a good playmaker but if it's in terms of solid defense, they've got it. Yesterday's game was a bit boring by the two clubs' standards. I expected much more action in front of goal than what they did yesterday and even though Juventus succeeded in getting a point, it didn't help their case much as they sit at 6th on the table, above Milan who are 7th and considering that when the season started, they were topping.
 Juventus are the only team that has had the highest number of draws (7) and no losses yet. That many seem like a fine record but with how the table is being competitive, this form means nothing.
They will have to buckle up and start winning games because it won't be too long till they record a loss if they keep playing this way; struggling with teams and hoping to come out with a point at the end.
To be fair when both teams are known for their good defenses, this was the result that was the most expected one, both teams have great defenses and they lack a lot of things on offense as well.

Apart from the Napoli vs AS Roma match. We also have the Lazio vs Bologna match which will be quite fierce and exciting. In Week 12 we saw Bologna even managed to beat AS Roma with a score of 2-3. And that happened at AS Roma's home ground. So I think that Bologna is still a strong team even though Thiago Motta has left. And Bologna, who started this season with their new manager, Vincenzo Italiano, I think is not going so bad. Well, even though it's not as good as when coached by Motta, with Vincenzo Italiano I see that Bologna can also develop well, albeit slowly.

And now they will face Lazio, which is a team that is always quite stable every season and can be said to be a strong team. So I think Bologna's strength will be tested in this match. And if Bologna manages to collect full points then Bologna will succeed in overtaking AC Milan. But if they lose then Bologna will not change in ranking. It's just that I might still favor Lazio. Because Lazio is much more consistent this season than Bologna. I hope I'm lucky this time.

With AS Roma condition this season, Napoli should be able to take advantage of the condition to steal points because this victory will return them to the top of the Serie A standings. The 13th match is the capital that Conte needs to maximize, he managed to bring Napoli in his first season very well so AS Roma must be defeated badly. For Conte there is no option to share points at this time.
Napoli didn't play very confidently the last 2 games either, especially bad was the game with Atalanta who beat Napoli 3-0, but I agree that things are even worse for Roma, if not terrible. In the last 5 games, Roma managed to win only once and that victory was over Torino with a score of 1:0, so the odds of 1.8 for Napoli seem justified, besides Napoli at home does not lose to Roma since 2018.

Of course, if you believe in Roma you can risk betting on Roma's victory with great odds of 4.9, but I somehow have little faith in such an outcome and the maximum that Roma is capable of is a draw.
Roma is still a top Serie A team so they cannot be underestimated especially after making a change of coach so it is possible to make a surprise in this match even though Napoli is still favored because Napoli will play at home and Napoli is also in top form so far.

Don't just focus or be tempted by big odds, I think for our betting choices we must be realistic and put greed aside.
In betting choices in the match I think it is wiser to bet on Napoli's victory.

Napoli have had a great season this time thanks to Conte. Conte has really proven that he is a coach of high quality and as a coach who has made many of the teams he coaches lift trophies, I think Napoli also has the potential to lift the trophy again in Serie A thanks to Conte. In contrast to AS Roma, which has even changed coaches twice this season. First De Rossi was replaced by Juric and now Juric is replaced by Claudio Ranieri. And this match was the first match for AS Roma with its new coach, Claudio Ranieri.

I can't expect much from AS Roma. And I hope Napoli can secure full points from this match. Because if Napoli fails to get full points from this match then this will result in Atalanta actually taking first place from Napoli.

For Conte there is no option to share points at this time.
If you look at the standings, Napoli must win this match. because the competition at the top is currently very tight, so the match against Roma is a good opportunity to secure three points to be able to rise again to the top of the standings. In addition, this will be a good opportunity for Napoli because AS Roma is in a slump and has just changed coaches.

Indeed, coach Ranieri has previously coached Roma twice, namely in the 2011 season and the 2019 season. Now he is coaching AS Roma in his third period and his first match is against Napoli, of course this is not easy for him to get points, especially since Conte is currently making quite significant changes to the Napoli squad.

So of course Napoli in this match wants to immediately return to the right trend as a favorite team to win the title after the previous two matches also performed badly. The home match against Roma is certainly a golden opportunity for them to do that trend. My prediction is that Napoli will win this match with a narrow score of 1-0.

Napoli lost against Atalanta, but they bounced when they fight against Intermilan. It's important to note they're against the top clubs in the Serie a. It's not comparable to Roma's fixtures, which often faced weak teams and still missed points.

Talking about their odds, Napoli's odds really astonishing @1.85 in a home game, this sounds big, right? but it showed us if bookies are not really believing in them to take three points from Roma. In other hand, Roma got 5.02, which is far less than what i have expected.

The possible scenario is the draw most likely to happen. I'm not underrating Napoli with their home game. But, the odds show that 1x2 is risky. BTTS or Double Chance (Draw/Napoli) is my choice.

As I said that the big match between Milan vs Juventus will end in a draw because I am very sure that this season big matches will always end in a draw. And I praise Milan even though they are not very consistent at the moment, at least they can hold the match to a draw.
And Inter got a very satisfying result with a big score without resistance from Verona making Inter more confident.



And today I have some predictions and I will consider Napoli vs Roma as a big match. Although Roma is currently in bad form, but previous experience can change the match to be better. I think Roma has the right to get a draw in this match and deserves to put up a fight. My bet is too risky but I want to catch the surprise.
