Juventus was really unlucky in this match for sure. They hit the woodwork three times. No one will actually say that Juventus played badly in this match. And even the goalkeeper of Juventus played very well. Otherwise, Juventus was going to concede at least two more.

One thing I have to say is that the red card was probably something that Juventus could have avoided. But of course, it is understandable why that happened. It is the last moment of the match and the opponent is basically wrestling with you so that you cannot get away with the ball. Overall I have to say Roma was really lucky to walk away with 3 points from this match.

The Napoli coach even looked very relaxed and was still smiling after Napoli lost the match against Lazio. Because in that match Napoli did play well. it's just that they were a bit unlucky because if I remember correctly Osimhen almost scored with a header but it hit the crossbar. Occasional defeat is necessary for Napoli. so they don't underestimate the opponents they face. because in the match against Lazio we could see the Napoli players were too excited. they are too confident. so they became a little off guard in the match. And for the next match, Napoli will face Atalanta, which cannot be underestimated either. but I'm pretty sure in this match Osimhen and co will score more than 1 goal and win the match.

It didn't have any impact even though that match Lazio was able to score 2 goals though. Napoli is still trying to give space to their opponents because, with a large capital of points, Napoli looks relaxed. I prefer to call it relaxed because Inter is hard to catch. Plus UCL preparations, Napoli maybe in the next game against Atalanta will try to play reserve players, at least their main squad is still in top shape.

Indeed, losing against Lazio changes nothing for Napoli, and are still in first place in the table while there is enough gap between them and the second teams of the league 15 points gap is enough to say Napoli is safe in the first position at the table. Lazio could use the change they had in the best way and they scored the goal and then tried to save the result until the end of the game while Napoli had much more control over the game.

No goal for Osimhen, but he remain in top of ladder

thirteen games still means 39 points at stake (potential) so there is still no mathematical certainty
without that useless dream, you have to keep your feet on the ground and win one game after another, as they have done up to now

Yeah the defeat won’t have any negative impact on their standing but it is likely to halt Napoli's attempts to reach Juventus' record points total of 102. Apart from that there should be no worries for Napoli however, with Napoli still 15 points clear of second place Inter and on 65 points with just 13 games remaining. The defeat to Lazio is just a reminder that no team is ever invincible and Spalletti will just have to make sure that there is no late season collapse with the club on verge of winning the Scudetto.

Well, not only here in Serie A, now what Juve has done in the Europa League gives the team a lot of motivation, makes them stronger in Serie A, so all is not lost.

We must also see the example of Napoli, because they have shown very beautiful and effective fútbol that is why they maintain a great streak and the advantage over the other teams, it should be noted that Napoli did not improve from one day to the next, that was a long process.

Juve is something else, they have enough material to be able to do things well, and the history and the entire category that they have will help them to find the high level that they have always shown. Also, from Qatar we realized that anything can happen in fútbol.


The truth left me surprised by Juve's result, they have had very good games, but sometimes they don't have that consistency that they should have, on the other hand, Roma are doing everything possible to continue adding points, Mou's work is not bad at all this team, it seems they all want to achieve the goal and that is to be in the UCL, of course they have it difficult, but I think that at this moment all the teams that are fighting for those positions are in the same way, every game they have is crucial They cannot be neglected because any mistake can cost them a lot, personally I like how Roma are doing, and their fútbol is very beautiful.

Three Things We Noticed in Roma’s 1-0 Win Over Juventus

Around 8-9 matches to go for napoli to lock the trophy. It won't be a difficult task for napoli. Napoli has not faced yet easy team. I think that if napoli can be considered as a winner now although around 13 matches waiting for napoli.
The lose against lazio will not change napoli's position. I meant that we must also be aware that napoli can't be replaced easily. Ther's no way for another team to take napoli's place other than waiting for napoli to get lose streak.
The crucial moments will be coming at the end of season. Osimhen will able to get his first trophy very soon. Napoli is still having a chance to win UCL too.
That will be very interesting if napoli able to go to the final of UCL

Serie A still has 13 matches left, Napoli who are at the top of the standings have a 15 point advantage over Inter who are in second place. Napoli defeat to Lazio doesn't change anything at the top of the standings, Napoli must be able to win 8 more matches and one draw to secure the Scudetto for the 2022/2023 season.
Looking at the list of games that Napoli haven't played yet, I'm very sure Spalletti can give Napoli the title at the end of the season. Napoli performance this season has been extraordinary, they have only lost two defeats in Serie A. The next match must be able to get good results to get them closer to the trophy they haven't won for a long time.

Very competitive competition is in second and third place in the standings, because Napoli will almost certainly be comfortable in first place as a candidate for the Scudetto this season, even though in the future they will face big matches as you said. Five other teams will compete to be in the Champions league next season. Inter Milan, Lazio, Roma and AC Milan, these four clubs still have the opportunity to shift the standings between each other because the difference in points is not too big.

13 matches to go and napoli leading the title race with quite big gap of 15 points , that's not something you can compete with as a title contender , not inter milan , lazio, as roma nor ac milan ... all of them surrender already with napoli perfect superb season till they beaten up last week by lazio.

Despite the winning , lazio would still hard to maintain the top 5 though.

Well I must say am just surprise how Napoli is so many point ahead of inter in second place, truly the serial A this season just lack tension in the race for the title this season. I don't even know if its Napoli that is too good or just the fact that others teams in the league are reluctant in terms of their gameplay performance. But notwithstanding their Nigerian striker has been a number factor for this wonderful achievements by Napoli and just hoping they can keep up the form till the end of the season.

yeah, Napoli are good in the League, they shouldn't worry about losing 3 points, good performance is the important thing that they should keep, but losses like these happen form time to time, they can stay unbeaten for ever, they are safe in the league with a huge 15 points form 2nd Inter, Lazio really wanted that win and jumped to the third place with it, well deserved i might add.

Exactly, Mourinho has had his teams play a tactic with emphasis being put on the defense everywhere. When he won the Champions League with Inter Milan against Bayern Munich, it was the same. They defended so well and then they brutally used their chances and scored. That was so typical for Mourinho's team. The problem for the fans is that his games are sometimes ugly to watch. It is not really fun because it is almost too tactical and often dirty and everyone wants to see games like the 2:5 between Liverpool and Real Madrid.

But now he is doing it again and Roma is stubbornly keeping its position in Serie A. Mourinho's contract is running until this summer. It is likely that he is going to wait what Roma qualifies for and then he is going to make his decision about an extension. It is also a possibility that he is already negotiating with other clubs.

Yes, that's right, defeating Napoli did not have any effect on the Serie A standings, even though the points difference was very large. However, Napoli must take lessons from this defeat to inflame the enthusiasm, strength and determination of Napoli players in future matches, especially in the UCL League. On the other hand Lazio always manages to show their best abilities when facing the Serie A giants.

The match between Sassuolo Calcio VS Cremonese ended with a score of 3-2. Sassuolo Calcio managed to get the win through contributions from Armand Laurienté, Davide Frattesi, and Nedim Bajrami. At least Sassuolo managed to get additional points and climb to thirteenth at the top of the standings. Sassuolo must continue to develop to always win in every game that takes place, even though it is difficult to do.

When it comes to the Napoli - Atalanta game I just expect Napoli not to lose once again. It was indeed not expected to see them losing to Lazio in a home game. But this one against Atalanta should be a game to make up for that loss. Atalanta are a pretty unstable team this season. I can't say they are consistent at all. They have struggled a lot about getting a win recently.

Considering all of this, I think Napoli will take advantage of their inconsistent look and get the win. I know they are comfortable already for the title but I don't expect any complacency.

Of course, the defeat from Lazio won't impact much on Napoli position. They are leading with big point gaps, there is no chance for another team to overtake Napoli. They also only got 2 defeats so far, it is impossible to always win the match. With only 13 remaining matches, I personally think Napoli won't have difficulty winning Serie A title. Napoli looks quite strong to win every remaining match, they won't repeat the same mistake as they did against Lazio.

Napoli defeat vs Lazio was unexpected but after all it can occur for any team. Even Bayern, City and Real Madrid lose vs weaker teams from time to time.
Now Napoli - Atalanta is an interesting match between good teams. Obviously Napoli is favourite and more stable comparing to Atalanta, yet the latter team fluctuations make me a little worried that they might outperform and make Napoli lose that game again. Overall, Napoli to win for me.
