Yeah, both matches are on the same day but at different times. You also know that it is not for the sake of speculation; Napoli will definitely win against AS Roma in their game, which is something like a most I will be even more sure about the game than that is Lazio, even though I know that both games are a win for the teams that I choose, which are Napoli to win against AS Roma and Lazio to win against Bologna. 
 
No doubt Lazio is becoming stronger in the league this season because in the 12 games they played so far, they were able to win 8, and if not that, they lost 3 games and drew 1. They will be like the second in the table, because their scores were the same as Atalanta's; the only difference is that Atalanta has more goals than them. If not, it would have been a different narration. But still, nevertheless, I still have hope in them to get more points in the league.

That is the real game. We all know that Lazio is capable of winning Bologna in this game, no doubt, because all indications have shown that, and I also don’t think it is a hard prediction because their performances are not even the same, and as you mentioned, Marco Baroni will do his best to see that Lazio is able to win the game. So it’s like a go-to for us to remove any source of fear and bet on Lazio to win the game, and I am sure they will truly win the game, no doubt on that. All I will say is let's see how the game will come and end because even if you have a sure prediction, there is a possibility of you still losing your bet because we are talking under probability, and this is a game; anything can happen, and we can’t change the result but to accept it like that as we see it.

Claudio Ranieri has a wealth of experience, in my opinion the manager will be able to lift AS Roma performance in the future, although not as fast as expected. De Rossi and Ivan Juric have failed to do their jobs well, Jose Mourinho is still too superior to the two managers. AS Roma management move was right by appointing Claudio Ranieri as the new manager, although the dismissal of the previous manager was considered too rash, but their goal in doing so can be understood, namely to maintain the opportunity to finish in the European zone.
Claudio Ranieri was immediately faced with a difficult match against Napoli, AS Roma were lucky if they avoided defeat. On paper Napoli were highly favored to secure full points, it took extra hard work to steal points in the match. We'll see if Ranieri will last until the end of the season, or maybe his fate will end the same as De Rossi and Ivan Juric.

It is even hard for now to say these are the teams that will make the top four, as the points difference is so close, and the positions can keep changing after every match played. In my own view, the reason why many are seeing this season as different and so tight is all because these big teams are not in great form currently. Even when they find form, many of these matches they are drawing or losing are against average or weak teams they are supposed to be winning against.As for Roma, I don't think they will be able to make the top six this season if they continue with this form. Roma was better than this last season, especially toward the end, and I don't even know why Roma has dropped form like this.

After Mourinho was sacked, Roma actually brought in two coaches who were completely unable to build a team, so that in the end it made them slump like now, Ranieri is an experienced coach and he has the ability to bring Roma to a better direction although it may not be able to meet high expectations later, because building a team in the middle of the season is not an easy thing especially with the condition of the team that is very bad at the moment, but at least with the experience possessed by Ranieri maybe he can bring and give roma stability and strategy a more consistent  in their game for the rest of the season, currently Ranieri is only a temporary coach until the end of the season and I hope that in the future they can be more selective in choosing a coach.

Agreed, Serie A is indeed exciting and certainly very competitive because the points difference is not too far between the first and sixth positions, even just one point. However, Napoli is in great danger with their performance after losing badly to Atalanta and being held to a draw by Inter Milan. In the next match they will also face a tough opponent against AS Roma who is currently being coached by an experienced coach, of course it will not be easy for Napoli to get points.

If they lose points again against AS Roma, this is a bad sign for Napoli because in three matches they have not been able to get perfect points, then psychologically the players will also affect the next matches. This is a test for Conte to be able to beat AS Roma in the next match so that the players' confidence will increase.

Another interesting match this week is AC Milan against Juventus. Juventus' performance this season, they are the only team that has never experienced defeat. However, in my opinion if Juventus gets more draws, that is also not good. Because it is better to lose once but win 2 times than to draw 3 times. Thiago Motta must immediately realize this and continue to improve so that Juventus can get positive results when facing AC Milan later.

I haven't watched many Serie A league games in many seasons, but I admit in the last few seasons Serie A has improved and is very competitive. It has been difficult to defend the Serie A title in two consecutive seasons since Inter stopped Juventus' dominance in the 2020-2021 season. This season I also don't think Inter can defend their title after winning it last season, but Inter is still the favorite team based on the tight competition on points.

Napoli, Inter, Atalanta and Juventus are on my list of favorites to fight for the title, while Fiorentina will likely lose their place before the season ends. One of the 4 teams above could most likely win the title, but I'm sure it won't be Inter.

I do agree that it's quite difficult for Lazio, but it is not impossible neither, we are still very early into the season. I believe Lazio won't win not because they won't do what they could, I believe they will lose because they will do exactly what they could do and that's the problem.

What we should expect from Lazio isn't really a win and because of that we can't really make a lot of changes neither, things are looking a lot different here. We should be considering how to get a greater return from betting on exactly what they could do. Look at the odds, even before the season started, did anyone assumed Lazio could win the league? Of course not and that is why I believe we are going to end up with a much better situation for them on the long run and should not be considering that as different.

In Serie A, competitive conditions like today are quite rare. Usually, since the start of the season, there is always one team that manages to dominate Serie A and top the standings with a fairly large point difference. But in this season anything can still happen. Because the difference in points is very small.

Now everything will depend on which team is much more consistent in collecting full points. Because one defeat or draw can knock a team out of position quickly.

And Juventus will really be tested because they will play against Milan, who will also be the hosts of the match. Meanwhile, Napoli will be tested by facing AS Roma. Likewise, Lazio will be tested by facing Bologna. Maybe only Inter Milan seems to be able to win with less difficulty because I don't think Verona is that strong compared to Inter Milan.

Seria A is the only league currently that the competition is very tough and no club wants to be on the dulling side, as they are eager to take over the first position from Napoli. What baffles me is the point gap of the top six clubs on the table.

I will love to watch all the six clubs matches if they will not clash, because it will be good to see who amongst them would be left behind. Napoli needs to take their match with Roma serious, otherwise, they might fall to the fourth position if they allow Roma to win or draw the match.

Ranieri should be fine, he is not like previous ones they had, after Mourinho they finally have a decent manager and that's a very good situation for them, which is why I believe that Roma will do better as well, things should be a lot better and it shouldn't really cost anything to anyone neither, things will be much easier that way. Roma do not need much to be fair, we can see them do great very quickly and without much problems and because of that we need to just focus on how to get greater return without a doubt, so we need to just get a better hold of it and not really get a bad return at all.

Roma isn't a bad team neither, they can do better with time and this could be one of those moments without a doubt, it can't be really that hard to recover from such a low place and we could see them just make a small changes. Even changing the morale of the squad could make such a big difference, in another case formations and subs during the game and strategy etc matters, but sometimes just getting %100 out of a player is all you need.

AC Milan's performance is very irregular. So I don't dare to bet on AC Milan's victory. But I think Milan's chances of winning the match are high. Because I have seen Juventus' performance in several matches this season. Juventus is the only team so far this season who has not lost a single match. Will Juventus face their first defeat against Milan now?

AC Milan has been able to perform well against big teams this season. AC Milan won against Inter Milan in Serie A. Milan also won against the mighty Real Madrid in the Champions League match. So it is not surprising that Juventus faced their first defeat in this match.

Serie A has become very competitive this season. Because the performance of almost every team in Serie A has been somewhat erratic this season. In the past seasons, we have seen the dominance of one or two teams. We have seen both teams fighting only for the title. However, this season, the performance of Napoli and Inter Milan has been erratic. Therefore, Juventus, who are in sixth place in the table, are only 1 point behind Napoli, who are in the top position of the table.

Each of the 6 teams at the top of the table has the possibility of occupying the top position of the table. However, Atalanta and Fiorentina are in the best form at the moment. However, we have seen these two teams in the past that they cannot maintain the consistency of their performance. However, if Fiorentina and Atalanta can continue their performance this season, then there is no doubt that the fight for the title of Serie A will become more competitive this time.

Paul Pogba may be confident enough in his performance but his team is hard to find at the moment. Firstly he has injury problem, secondly he has been out of the field for a long time although being out of the field for a long time is not a big problem for him but the big problem is his injuries. But if any club gives him a chance then I believe he will definitely be able to perform well for that club. With European clubs always prioritizing the signing of dynamic and active players, Paul Pogba may be left behind as he lacks the speed he used to have and is prone to injury. After a few days, the transfer window will open and then it will be seen if any European team is interested in taking him.

Yes you are right, Serie A can have a competition that looks much tighter than before, at least until the last week they play. Because all the matches they have played, make their points difference not far apart and of course this makes those in it not comfortable enough. Napoli had slipped in the last 2 matches they played, so that made them have to be in a very tight gap with the team that is right below them at this time. But this is what we want to see. Yes, tight competition will make the league more interesting to watch. Hopefully this kind of competition lasts until the end of the season.

There is really a great tussle amongst the top 6 teams when we take a look at the point gap of each of them but am more surprised at how Atalanta made it to second position considering how they were not too consistent at the beginning of the season but seeing them at where they are now means they have made a lot of improvements and what amazed me about them is how they have scored the highest goals so far. I feel Napoli will soon be dethroned despite that they conceded less goals among the top 6 teams which means they have a stronger defense but the forwards needs to get busy and score more goals otherwise i see Atalanta or Inter Milan dethroning them in the first position soon. From the second to the 5 position is really interesting as all of them are sharing equal points.


AC Milan may later improve and become better since they are in the 7th position and 5 points above Roma, but for Roma there is likely not going to be much improvement from them even though they just signed a new coach Claudio Ranieri, he may only succeed to build the team as against next season but i doubt if he can really elevate the team this season considering the current situation he met it, however there is enough time to change the narrative since he is also an experienced coach that has led some teams to victory in the past.

The level of competition this season is much fiercer than the previous season. Even Napoli, which is currently ranked 1st, is in a really unsafe position. Because Napoli is only 1 point different from all the teams ranked 2 to 5. And only 2 points different from ranking 6. I think this is the fiercest season compared to previous seasons.

Regarding Milan and Roma they are struggling to improve things in their squad first. And currently Roma and Milan are quite far behind from the top 6 positions. But the season is still long, so opportunities are still wide open for any team at this time.

Indeed the consistency of every team actually determines how the end will look like, Roma's performance this season as gotten out of hand, changing of coach have not make things better but I think what they are lacking is actually quality players who can give them what the want and they are not going that direction. Coach will not be the one to play but he need good and sound players to make him shine, not all coaches can use players with less experience. Roma management has to do something fast to make them improve before the transfer window opens to know who to replace. On the other hand Milan are also trying their best, they are far better than Roma but need to improve. Top six teams in the table will all be frustrated due to point gap between then, after the international break this league will be so interesting to watch. I will make sure I don't miss any of top six games.

With such big odds, it certainly becomes very interesting because on paper that Fiorentina is also in a very good trend at this moment. So, even though Fiorentina will play away, but it looks like Fiorentina still has a chance to win. But I personally can't consider this  match to be an easy match for Fiorentina, because after all Como still has efforts that might surprise like they managed to beat Atalanta. But yes, the point is that Fiorentina still has a good chance of winning, with odds like that it will certainly be a match with very good odds.

About Napoli and Lazio who will play at home and also, basically AS Roma is also still experiencing a decline in performance after the change of coach there is no good change. So of course, it will be a very big chance for Napoli to win at home. But about Lazio, I think it's still not easy even though they only play against Bologna, because so far this season that Bologna is also not completely weak, so a draw might still happen.

Exactly like Napoli's match against Roma, Lazio faces a decidedly weaker team and it is no coincidence, i always quote the bookmakers, that they are the winning team.
Among other things, i see Lazio really growing strongly, even compared to last year.
I'm also betting on Lazio to win...
