At least Inter Milan has proven that they have quality that they can maintain every season. So if you trust Inter Milan more this season than Napoli then that is understandable and also a natural thing. Because in terms of stability, the quality of Inter Milan's game is indeed more stable. It's just that Napoli will also fight hard. And so far Napoli with their new coach is going very well and has even exceeded my expectations about Napoli. Because at the start of the season I only hope that Napoli will improve and be back in the race for UCL tickets. And I don't hope at all to see Napoli back in the race for the title after changing to a new coach again. But yes, it is extraordinary to see Napoli again competing closely with Inter Milan.

From the beginning of the season in the Italian league, I see a tough competition between the two teams, taking the number one position in the points table, and those two teams are Inter Milan and Napoli. Napoli are number one in the points table with a few points more than Inter Milan but Napoli have played one match more than Inter Milan. If Inter Milan can get full points in their 22nd match then Inter Milan's points and Napoli's points will be equal. There is no doubt that Inter Milan and Napoli will compete until the end of the season, but it is difficult to say which of these two teams will be crowned champions beforehand. But I have more faith in Inter Milan than Napoli. I think maybe Inter Milan will be a few points ahead of Napoli at the end of the season and Inter Milan are slightly more likely than Napoli to win the league title this season.

In the UCL I doubt Atalanta in the upcoming match, namely against Barcelona. So I wouldn't bet on their win. But after that Atalanta will play against Torino in Serie A. And that's when I will favor Atalanta.

It's just that Atalanta sometimes makes surprises outside Serie A. Like last season in the European League where Atalanta even managed to beat Liverpool. So it is not impossible that in the UCL Atalanta will succeed in beating Barcelona who are the hosts. It's just that I see Barcelona can really be trusted to win now. even though their position is safe and it is certain that they will qualify for the next stage in the UCL. But still, Barcelona certainly doesn't want to lose in front of its own supporters.

You are right. Napoli does not have the strongest attack in Serie A, but Napoli has everything they need to win the title. Napoli has a stable squad. Since Napoli's defenders are doing well, Napoli does not need too many goals from the attacking players. Napoli does not need to win by a large margin. Napoli only needs to secure 3 points.

However, Napoli's performance is very consistent. Napoli has an experienced coach like Antonio CONTE. With the help of Conte's match strategy, Napoli has been able to continue its good performance. However, to continue its good performance in the long run, Napoli management should strengthen their attack a little more.

Napoli mightn't have the best attacking players but they have everything needed to win the league, they have conceded the least amount of goals among the top clubs chasing the title. They're defending well and also attacking well and those are what you need as a champion. Only scoring without being able to defend can't win you the league and only defending without having good strikers will make you to lose some games as you'll need to be able to score more goals than your opponents for you to win some.games. Napoli might have a strong contender for the title as they're already leading with only 3 points and inter Milan are right behind them.

22 shots and 3 on target did seem quite far where their comparison was even at a great advantage at that time but on the other hand actually apart from their poor performance there were several things that made them also unlucky in this match because for extra time the match actually became more exciting where there was an opportunity from Ledesma to almost become an equalizer only for the bounce off the crossbar to come out not into which made this match have to end in a draw.

There was a lot of drama in this match because apart from Yacine Adli, both coaches also received red cards in this match which made the tension more interesting in extra time. But even so in the end this remains a defeat for Lazio where they have to restart their rhythm in a good direction after last week's momentum with 3 points must be destroyed again this week.

Looking at the odds and how good is playing Atalanta i want to put some money on them to win, a 12.00 odds are really good but only one thing is blocking me to do that movement and the thing is pretty simple, Atalanta always chicken out in all the previous fight for top spots in Serie A.

Last year they win the europa league so maybe they are now more fierce, but i dont know.

At the start of the season, when I heard that these two teams had changed coaches, I actually didn't have high hopes for these two teams. Because we know that changing coaches also means that many changes will occur in the team. And yeah that really happened in these two teams. Juventus started well but got worse until now. Meanwhile, AC Milan has been inconsistent from the start. So AC Milan even changed their coach again. From Fonseca to Sérgio Conceição. And in the end things started to look better at AC Milan after Sérgio Conceição came to replace Fonseca. But whatever AC Milan's current position, it will still be difficult to re-enter the top competition. So this team will only fight to improve its current ranking which is still possible if it wants to compete in the top 4.

Napoli are performing well this season after Antonio Conte became the new manager. I thought Napoli would probably not compete for the title this season. Napoli's attack was a bit weak after losing Osimhen. But due to Conte's excellent match strategy, Napoli's overall performance is very stable.



However, Napoli's attack is relatively weak. Napoli has only managed to score 37 goals in 22 matches. Inter Milan has scored 55 goals in 21 matches and Atalanta has scored 48 goals in 22 matches. Compared to Inter Milan and Atalanta, Napoli's attack will be a bit behind. However, Napoli's overall performance is very strong and stable. And this is possible because of Antonio Conte's match strategy. Napoli is a worthy contender for the Serie A title this season.

The competition for fourth place in the standings seems to be very tight until the end of the season, involving Lazio, Juventus, Fiorentina, AC Milan and Bologna. I agree that AC Milan seems to have a higher chance than its four competitors to finish in that position, because in the last five matches the statistics show that Sergio Conceicao squad has performed more consistently. However, I expect an increase in the performance of several of these teams in the future, so that the Scudetto challengers such as Napoli, Inter Milan and Atalanta must also work hard to win the Scudetto.

Napoli won the game and while Juventus is definitely upset that they got the first loss, to be fair to Napoli they were just the better team. Juventus isn't bad, don't get me wrong. A lot of people think Juventus is doing badly this season, I disagree, they are getting to know a new system a manager came up with, and Motta isn't playing similar to any other manager, so all of these players are playing this system for the first time ever, and that has some learning curve, which seems to be steep, but they lost a game for the first time this season at January, that's a big success if you ask me.

However, no matter how good they look, I am sure that everyone would agree Napoli is a better team right now. And Napoli is really running for that title, if Inter wasn't this great, Napoli would have all but guaranteed the league, not mathematically but would be at ease. However, Inter is having a blast of a season too, so those two teams are leading the pack right now.

Milan still has one match left to catch up with Juventus points tally. Their chances of getting into the top four are still wide open because lately Lazio have been inconsistent. Fiorentina is a dark horse team that Milan and Juventus, including Lazio, should be wary of. They have the opportunity to match Lazio points and shift Juventus position.
It is very exciting to see the teams competing for fourth place, there will still be changes in position between the four teams because there are still many matches yet to be played.

Assuming it's another league apart from series A I will say they still have chances if the can improve in their performance but in Serie A I doubt them no matter how effort they put because Serie A this season have become tougher than any other league World wide. Like in other league, title winner can be predicted easily due to their points gap between the top and second but in series A Napoli and Inter are going one on one to secure the top place. Currently none of them can be point at, it's getting interesting day by day as they have equal points. Milan and Juventus should forget about the title contender this season, they should just prepare for the next season.

Looking at this table, the point difference isn't so large so I can say that even Atalanta is a title contender at this point  too, literally there are three title contenders for me because I still see chances with Atalanta, moreover they have been of a very good performance and have been productive except  for few times when they have had some set backs that got them dropping  a little but I don't see them as one that shouldn't be considered in the race and then I also look to see howw sustainable it will be with Napoli holding unto the position till the end of the season and possibly win the title again for the second time after a long time.

If we look at the number of matches that have been played by both teams at this time, of course Milan and Juventus could be very close and will also compete with each other to be in the top five of the standings. While for the top four of the standings, there will still be two teams that could be obstacles, namely Fiorentina and Lazio, where both teams are also not completely consistent this season but are still possible to stay in the top four of the standings until the end of the season.

Yes, last year Juventus had consecutive defeats and now it had the impression in the league. This year we have a team that is very hard to defeat and they can somehow get points from every team in the league. I think Juventus has started to play successfully with its new manager but I think they still have things to improve offensively. However, I think Milan is better than Juventus in terms of offensive players but they also show inconsistent performance. They perform very well in one match and very poorly in another match. I think the real problem is that they are not consistently successful.

To be honest, this was a very difficult situation to predict. The score was 2-1 until the 90th minute, no one thinks that 2 goals will be scored in the last minutes, it is very unlikely. If you had bet on this match, it would have been very profitable for you.
We cannot always catch such matches, we need to be able to take advantage of the opportunities. Hope we will be more brave one day

I was very surprised by Atalanta's performance this season. Atalanta started the season well. The team's performance was quite stable in both Serie A and Champions League. However, in the last few matches we have seen a bit of a weak performance from Atalanta. Atalanta has lost points and is quite far behind in the title race.

It is very difficult to perform well consistently in both Champions League and Serie A. Even then, I would say that it is possible for Atalanta to regain the top spot in Serie A. There is still a long journey ahead. Each team will play about 16 more matches. So if Atalanta can continue their winning streak, then maybe we will see Atalanta at the top of the table again.

Of course, Milan and Juventus couldn't meet up to be among the title contenders this season because of their inconsistencies, and not having the zeal to improve their performance in order for them to meet up to the standards of Napoli and Inter. It was towards the end of last season that I had the feelings Juventus will not be among the top four this season due to the constant decline in their performance.

Yes, it cannot be denied that after Thiago Motta served as coach at Juventus, no good changes have been seen. Maybe the only change that Thiago Motta can show at the moment is just a draw. I also think that Juventus needs more than a draw at the moment. Because currently Juventus is really in a less favorable situation in Serie A. Because currently Juventus is in 5th place in Serie A and has a very large point difference with the current top of the standings. So if we compare Juventus' performance this season with last season, the results are really very different. Last season Juventus was able to finish in third place in Serie A. Meanwhile, this season, I think it is quite difficult for Juventus to finish in that position.

But even so, I don't think it would be wrong if Juventus gave Thiago Motta a longer chance. Because if you look at his history when he was still coach of Bologna, Thiago Motta could be said to be quite a great coach. So with this, Thiago Motta may have to continue to be retained by Juventus at least until this season ends. Because if we look at it from a positive point of view, maybe currently Thiago Motta hasn't found the right strategy for the players at Juventus. Apart from that, adapting to the players will certainly be quite difficult for Thiago Motta. Because unlike at Bologna, at Juventus there are lots of star players who may have traits that are difficult to manage. That's why it wouldn't be wrong if Juventus kept Thiago Motta at least until this season ends.
