If Claudio Ranieri implements a defensive strategy and relies on counter-attacks, then all of this will indeed be quite suitable for facing Napoli, who have a pretty good attack this season and all of this can be expected to reduce any fast attacks that Napoli can make. And sometimes the counterattack strategy is quite effective in certain conditions. But the problem is that Conte must already know every strategy that Ranieri is likely to use. Because Conte definitely knows Ranieri very well when making strategies for the team he coaches. Because Conte also often faces clubs coached by Ranieri. So Ranieri must be able to create a new formula or strategy at AS Roma so that Conte cannot read the strategy used by AS Roma.
Will Ranieri agree to play defense in his first match, and besides, Roma's defense is not so good to withstand two halves of attack from Napoli, as for their game in counterattacks, I also doubt that they are strong in this. So far I do not know what Ranieri should do to get points in the match with Napoli, since the match is away for Roma, maybe they will decide to play defense, but I think that for Ranieri this match will end in defeat.
Well, we can't even hope for much with AS Roma's current condition. I don't know how, but the quality of Roma's players is also not as good as last season. There is quite a clear decline in this squad. It's just that I hope Ranieri can revive the performance of AS Roma players to their maximum level. Because if not, AS Roma will probably only continue their negative trend for the rest of this season.

And it is true that even though AS Roma survives, AS Roma may still not be able to withstand every attack launched by Napoli. But at least it will slightly reduce the risk of conceding a lot of goals. But if it turns out that Ranieri bravely used an offensive strategy and succeeded then I think the biggest appreciation should be directed at him.

Quite surprising to see the odds Fiorentina to win is @2.38, they will meet Como, the weakest team in Serie A. I think it's a sure win for Fiorentina, they have De Gea and Kean who perform very well in this season.
A pretty risky opportunity but worth the result.
On paper this match should be won by Fiorentina even though they have to play away but we must remember that Como can provide a surprise at this time they should be considered a surprise team, they can play well when meeting strong teams I remember when they beat Atalanta it is possible that this can also happen again.
But I am realistic considering the current statistics of both teams, I think Fiorentina can win by a difference of 2 goals.

The same thing to Napoli vs Roma and Lazio vs Bologna, both Napoli and Lazio will high likely to win and their odds are quite high.

Milan is in a better position to win Juventus because Juventus doesn't have any striker currently as Vlahovic is injured and will not be present on that day. It will be a big problem for Juventus to find the back of the net easily, whereas Milan has quality strikers that are fit to find the back of the net when they are opportune. Milan on other hand, can see this as a good opportunity for them to step up on their position the table if they win Juventus. Napoli will win Roma and there is nothing Roma can do to stop them.

Lets assume that your arguments are right, remember this was the same Juventus that inter Milan couldn't beat with everything this season, football is not the way we see it to be, though I understand what you are saying, considering Juventus current striking deficit, it may be difficult for them to score but we should also consider the fact that every football player in the pitch may likely fit in every wing dending on the instruction of the manager and the versatility of the player, at this point in Juventus, what matters is smartness, the manager should use the available players very well after all as a team injury can happen anytime, though it isn't a good one for a team but it's almost inevitable for a team to scale through in a given season without the occurrence of injury, yea no doubt Milan has quality strikers present we have seen that, let's see if they can smartly win Juventus with this advantage within their disposal.

Don't be too sure about Napoli beating Roma because anything can happen, despite the current ill performance of Roma, this match may also beat our expectations.

A win is a must for Juventus. They can easily climb up as long as they take three points from Milan soon. They shall focus on how to beat their next opponent, and may be struggle to do that.

Juventus's gap to the Napoli is very thin. They can climb to the first position when their opponents will miss three points soon.

I haven't seen a rumor about Juventus's January transfer to buy a new player, but they will sell Fagioli for 25m.

Juventus can still win against Milan on Saturday and not climb to the summit of the Italian Serie A standings and that's because if the other five teams ahead of Juventus in the league standings win their games, they'll maintain their positions ahead of the Old Ladies. Juventus who sit on the 6th is one point behind 2nd placed   Atalanta, 3rd placed Fiorentina, 4th placed Inter Milan, 5th placed Lazio and two points behind Lea leaders Napoli so for them to remain competitive for the league title, they must beat AC Milan but that doesn't mean they'll go top with a win.

Lazio made many changes after last season they did not perform optimally and were only able to finish in 7th place so that Lazio management made many changes by replacing the Coach and also making many changes to the squad and so far the changes have proven effective but we also cannot expect too high because the journey this season is still long and no one guarantees that Lazio can be consistent until the end of the season.
However, in my opinion, competing in the top 4 of the Serie A standings this season is quite possible for Lazio.

I agree with you that Lazio's performance was pretty outstanding compared to the previous season when they finished seventh in the league. Marco Baroni's arrival has had a positive impact on Lazio's performance this season; they are now fifth in the Seria A league and first in the Europa League, they have won their previous four Europa League games and only lost three in the league. Well, the season is still early; and we're not sure if they'll keep this up until the end to finish in the top four, as they did the previous two seasons. Of course, if Juventus and AC Milan do not pass them, they may still finish in the top four.

At the beginning of season i was ruled out Fiorentina to can entering top 4 this because last season their performance is not impressive but this season i have seen Fiorentina has good progress this because until week 12 Fiorentina can able to collect 25 points and they also can occupy 3rd place on League standing and Fiorentina recent records also very fantastic because they were unbeated since September in Serie A

I assume one of the success factor why Fiorentina can able to managed their performance is the arrival of De Gea this because he was several times to being an man of the match and De Gea also makes Fiorentina defensive lines is very strong because until week 12 they only conceded 10 goals and this weekend Fiorentina got weak opponent Como and on the paper this match should be easy for Fiorentina

I thought Fiorentina's performance would be the same as it was the previous season; due to the way they started the season. You're right, their games started to improve since they signed De Gea as a free agent, and I noticed that their performance improved right away. He made a lot of saves that prevented them from conceding goals this season. Fiorentina is one of the third teams in the league with just one loss so far this season. I do not doubt Fiorentina will find it challenging to defeat Como in their next match.

The teams are very close, but in order to move up, Juventus needs all the other teams to lose points, which is unlikely to happen. And Milan with Fonseca is also gradually improving, they don’t always manage to play well, but some games, like the match with Real, they do very well, so I wouldn’t rush to say that Juventus can beat Milan. Inter will beat Verona, Napoli will probably beat Roma too, so Juve won’t be able to reach these teams.

They didn't just pick a new coach, but they appointed someone who understands Italian football and I think that is a step in the right direction which will in turn yield a positive result for them before the end of the season. Claudio Ranieri is a seasoned coach who won the English premier League with Leicester city some years back and am sure with his wealth of experience he would turn As Roma into a formidable team giving the time and his employers wouldn't regret their decision of appointing him manager at this point in time.
What I wonder is why Roma did not appoint an experienced coach who has many achievements since the beginning when they decided to fire Jose Mourinho? Even though Roma should have known that appointing a coach who has a good history would be good for them in the future. De Rossi and Ivan Juric do not have much good experience in any league, that is what caused Roma's performance to get worse, now they have fixed their mistakes and have appointed the right coach, hopefully Ranieri can revive the team's spirit again.
If we take a look at Xabi Alonso for instance, he didn't have much managerial experience when Bayer Leverkusen hired him, yet he performed exceptionally well. This shows that bringing in an experienced coach does not always guarantee a club’s success. I think Roma's challenges may be due to the low morale of the players and a lack of team spirit amongst them. Claudio Ranieri is not a bad choice, he possesses the technical know-how to bring out the best in his players. We have seen that when he achieved such feat in the Premier League by guiding Leicester City to the EPL title when he was in charge. If he can replicate even a fraction of that with Roma then I think they will be able to regain their place in Serie A.
Even Barcelona took a similar risk on Pep Guardiola and it turned out to be a great decision that the management never regretted but I guess not everyone is that lucky but in the case of AS Roma it has become a necessity for an experienced coach to come in to help the team and also boost their morale so as to get them back to winning ways, and i think with the presence of a veteran coach like Claudio Ranieri Roma will bounce back again. https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en/guardiolas-barcelona

I agree with you. It will be very difficult for Lazio to win the Serie A title. There is no doubt that Lazio is performing well now. But it is very difficult to perform well in every match consistently. And more importantly, if Lazio wants to win the title, they have to win against the big teams. Otherwise, it is not possible for Lazio to dominate Serie A.

I have not seen Lazio perform well against the big teams this season. Lazio lost against Fiorentina and Juventus. Lazio also failed to win against AC Milan. And these are the teams that will create obstacles for Lazio to reach the top of the table. If they cannot win against the big teams, it will not be possible for Lazio to occupy the top position of the table.

I think it's a difficult season for everyone, the ranking is very compressed and short, so it means that the teams are all particularly competitive and fierce
So it's not just Lazio who have a difficult life but in my opinion all the teams in this part of the table.
So that is to say that there will be, at least i can hope, more good matches!

This is interesting, Lazio looks different from the journey to the middle of the season, at the beginning of the season they were quite overwhelmed because maybe they were still adapting, now they are getting better, I didn't pay attention to them yesterday but lately they opened my eyes and became interesting to continue watching, how can they compete with others to reach the top, they don't have a glorious history, but they seem to be building today, Juventus is still the same in terms of position and game, they just need to improve their strength again to get back on top, and what's interesting is that there are 4 positions that have the same points.
the competition for the top 6 in the Serie A standings I think will be tight. the points difference is very small and the teams do have good performances. unfortunately not seeing Milan and Roma who have less than good results this season. especially Roma who I think is quite depressed this season, as well as Milan who lost points in several matches.
the season is still quite long, but the consistency of the team from now on will determine how they will face the competition.
Anything can still happen this season, whoever comes out as the champion, that club is the best club of the 6 clubs, Forget AS Roma, which in my opinion this season is a season where they are really not in good condition, there is no consistency in their game so what they do is in vain, Juventus is still undefeated even though they are in 6th place in the Serie A standings, but they seem to avoid defeat and prefer a draw, even so Juventus is waiting for the right moment and the moment when some of these clubs make mistakes so they can push into the top 4 of the standings.
Juventus can of course enter the top 4, but they need to win back to back wins to be in serious shape for the championship. It is very good that they are undefeated, but they cannot climb the rankings without a win. The transfers that Juventus will make will be very important, the transfers they will make in January. Accordingly, championship claims can be voiced again.

Lazio is progressing very well this year. The Italian team is exceeding their expectations in both the Europa League and the Italian League. They are the leaders in the Europa League and have won every match they have played. They are also playing for the top spot in the Italian league. That is why the coach and management seem determined to take this to the end. They can make it to the finals in the Europa League. The successful games they have played have made me feel this. They also have the power to beat their opponents in the Italian league, no matter who they are.
I also did not expect Lazio to be able to perform impressively this season in the Europa League even though last season Lazio performed poorly in the Champions League, but this season he even led the Europa League without losing a single match, it seems he will qualify without participating in the play off round, although not too much attention I think he might be able to be like Atalanta who surprised everyone. In the Italian League he also performed well and currently has the same points as the top 3 teams and a difference of 1 point with the leader of the standings if Lazio can perform consistently he might be able to take first place.
I agree with your statement about Lazio, that not only in the Domestic League but also in the Europa League they are able to consistently do well, in fact almost all top Serie A clubs such as Atalanta, Fiorentina, Inter Milan, have the same points, namely 25 points and only 1 point difference from the top of the standings Napoli, the competition in the Serie A standings this season is really tight, of course it is very difficult for us to see who is better than the 6 clubs, all Serie A clubs this season have really shown significant improvement in all Leagues, both domestic and European Leagues, so in my opinion Lazio can still improve its quality in Serie A to remain consistent in the next matches.
For Lazio I want to express my sincere admiration, I think they are the only team whose record I am happy to see. Because often I have looked at each team's record and watched the first 10 matches, each team loses some matches and draws. But Lazio's record will see defeat in only 1 match. Which proves that he is strong. The teams you mentioned are special teams but it will be difficult for them to compete with Lazio.You still think Lazio should be better if you look at their record Napoli Juventus are strong but the record doesn't look as good as Lazio is looking.  So I would consider Lazio better than those teams.So I will pray for Lazio to be at the top of the league standings and beat these teams for the title.  I like Napoli, Juventus, but Lazio's record and performance have impressed me.

Looks like for Vlahovic will have 1 week stop at least.
He will probably skip the games against Milan next week, Aston Villa and Lecce.

According to the rumors this is the situation, now they have 0 strikers available.

After the international break, Juventus will play against AC Milan. AC Milan's performance has been quite erratic this season. But this team is not weak. We have seen strong performances from Milan players in several matches. Especially this season, AC Milan won against Inter Milan. Milan even won against Real Madrid in the Champions League match.

Dusan Vlahovic is a very important player in Juventus' squad. So if Vlahovic is not in the squad, it will be very difficult for Juventus to perform well. The performance of Juventus' attacking players is not stable. If Vlahovic is not in the squad, I think Juventus will not be able to win this match. Milan will win the match or the match will be drawn.
This match will be an interesting and highly anticipated match, considering it will be played at San Siro Stadium where AC Milan have been excellent this season. AC Milan are currently in good form, which adds to their confidence heading into the game. It’s not going to be an easy match because Juventus are a strong team too and could pose a significant treat to AC Milan. They have a  solid defense and experienced players known for handling high pressure matches. However, if their main man Dusan Vlahovic isn't in the squad, it will limit the performance of Juventus preventing them from performing effectively in the attacking area and also struggle to convert chances into goals, which could be a major disadvantage against a team like AC Milan.

This season's Serie A is very competitive compared to the previous season, until now there is no team that is favored to become champion because the teams in the top 6 positions have the same chance to become champion as long as they can maintain their consistency until the end of the season. However, if forced to predict I would choose Napoli as the favorite to become champion because they have a good squad and most importantly they do not have many match schedules compared to other competitors so they can maintain the fitness of their players and can fully concentrate on Serie A.

Milan and AS Roma started the season badly, but I think AC Milan will soon recover, especially because they are not too far behind in terms of points with 6th position. However, I doubt AS Roma, even though they are currently coached by Ranieri, who is known for his experience and ability to calm difficult situations like what AS Roma is currently facing. However, he still needs time to restore AS Roma's performance in a short time, especially almost all Serie A teams this season, especially the top teams, have strong squads.

Currently Lazio has been in quite tight competition in the top five standings and Lazio has also outperformed Juventus even though only by one point. However, I also see that Lazio's ability level this season has increased so they only need to be more focused and more consistent in winning matches in order to continue to increase the number of points this season. And for the next match I am also quite sure that Lazio can try to win at Parma's home because Parma is a promotion team which will be easier for Lazio to face.

Everyone will see where Pogba will land and which team will recruit him later, because soon the player transfer market will reopen and Juventus itself will definitely make a wise move when there is an opportunity that can be utilized this season. I'm sure there are still other teams who want to recruit him if the transfer fee is not high enough so that the team that will have Pogba can make adjustments to the budget they have for players like Pogba.
We can see that when the transfer market reopens and Pogba's future will be determined where to go. Personal salary may be a bit of a problem and if he asks for a big salary then the Saudi Arabian League may be a much more appropriate place for him. Juventus has cut off contact with him because they really see this problem will be a problem and after the doping case is over now Pogba is a free transfer.

Juventus will focus on fixing the team because they will compete with Napoli and Inter Milan in the title race. Currently they are struggling to play more consistently as the coach has said and their target this season is to come out as champions in Serie-A even though it is difficult.
Their squad is a bit less quality than other Italian teams. This causes them to get tired in the long league schedule. They can't get the same efficiency from substitute players. Juventus has a good defense with Motta but they don't have the same effect in attacking power. They can try to get attacking players and create a better effect in January.

I haven't heard for sure which teams are interested in signing Pogba, but with his name I think he will still have teams interested in him even though we all know that he has been out of the field for a long time because of the sanctions he received. For the transfer fee or salary burden, I think it will decrease like never before. And of course Pogba can also understand that because once again with what he experienced, like it or not he has to first show his quality after he returns to play. And that has to be done defensively and one of them is to first find a team that is serious about signing him in the upcoming transfer market.
Paul Pogba has just recently completed his doping ban, and while it's not yet confirmed which teams are interested in signing him, I believe he still has what it takes to perform at the highest level. To make a strong comeback, he needs to remain deciplined, train intensively, and stay fit in order to convince top clubs to sign him next year. I read he has already refused to move to the Saudi League which means Pogba is confident he can find a club who will sign him.
