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.

The arrival of Marco Baroni has been a blessing for Lazio players, after he was appointed as head coach replacing Maurizio Sarri, they have performed well, even Nuno Tavares, who performed poorly last season, is now a key player in Lazio success in achieving positive results. The positive trend achieved with Marco Baroni makes Lazio a team to be reckoned with this season, they also managed to maintain their performance in the UEL by achieving perfect points in four matches. Their chances of qualifying for the last 16 without having to go through the Play-offs are very big because in the 5th match they will face Ludogorest Razgrad who have only managed to get 1 point in four matches.

Lazio was one of the most successful teams in the 90s, at that time they had stability with extraordinary consistency of club performance, but as the season progressed they were no longer able to compete as one of the scudetto contenders due to changes and improvements that occurred in other Serie A clubs, this season they have shown quite good consistency in the league by occupying the top 7, but I think to be able to enter the top 4 and even become title contenders will be very difficult for them to remember the fierce competition that occurs from the better clubs today, because if we look at the last few seasons, their consistency is often disrupted and loses focus when the season starts to end, apart from that their are not have many players who are able to make a difference in their squad, and that it actually the reason for their slump in performance when facing an important match aagaint big teams so far.

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.

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.

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.

I completely agree with you. Lazio is playing a bit better now, but they are not a team that deserves to win the Serie A title yet. Lazio's squad is not very strong. Lazio has won its last four matches. As a result, Lazio is only 1 point behind Napoli. Lazio is capable of playing well against weak and average teams. But I have seen that Lazio is not able to perform well when facing big teams.

There are also stronger teams than Lazio. Atalanta, Fiorentina, Inter Milan and Napoli are all still able to perform better than Lazio in each team. So I don't think Lazio will win the title this season. However, Lazio has a great chance of finishing in the top four of the table.

I think Roma's chances of winning this match are very small. It would be amazing if they could hold Napoli to a draw. Right now the difference in their strengths is very far and it cannot be covered by the tactics that Ranieri will apply. Yes, Conte and Ranieri have often competed in tactics with various teams but for now I think Conte will win. This does not mean that Ranieri cannot beat Conte but based on the quality of both teams Conte has the advantage.

With the current performance I think it is still difficult for Lazio to win Serie A. They have to build a solid squad with a coach who will be with them for several seasons. Lazio can be champions if they have formed chemistry between each player and have players with good individual skills. Currently their performance is quite good in Serie A. I can say they are worthy of being a title contender but I would not put Lazio in the first position. Currently Napoli, Inter Milan and Juventus are the ones who have the biggest chance to become champions this season.

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

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. 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.

This season, Lazio has indeed experienced quite a good improvement in performance, because it has been proven that currently Lazio is able to rank 5th in the Serie A standings and has the same points as teams like Fiorentina, Atalanta and Inter. With Napoli at the top of the standings, Lazio is only 1 point behind, so this makes Lazio indeed have quite a big potential to become the top of the Serie A standings. Apart from that, as you said, in the European league, Lazio also has match results. which is quite good, because of the 4 matches played by Lazio, all of them were won by Lazio. The reason is, currently Lazio is at the top of the European League standings. But even so, I don't think Lazio needs to be happy, because from several matches that Lazio has played, it is recorded that Lazio has not been able to beat the big teams in Serie A.

So with this, I think it will be a very difficult journey for Lazio to be able to compete for the top position in Serie A. Because to be able to make this happen, of course Lazio must be able to beat the big teams in Serie A. Because if Lazio is unable to do this Of course, it will be difficult to reach the top position. Maybe if they compete in the top 4, I think Lazio will definitely be capable and won't have any difficulties. But we'll see whether Lazio can surprise us all by being able to penetrate at least 2nd place or not. When it comes to the European league, it is certain that Lazio will qualify for the next phase.

Lazio's stability and consistency in each season is always well maintained. This team is similar to Atalanta, which is always consistent and stable every season. Even though Lazio and Atalanta always fail to compete for the title in Serie A. But Lazio and Atalanta have actually never been out of the top 6 in the last 5 seasons. Even in the 2023 season, Lazio managed to finish in 2nd place. And it's not only in Serie A that we see Lazio's consistency. But this team is also very consistent in the European League. because in the 4 matches that have been played we have seen Lazio continue to win matches without losing or drawing. I think that's really amazing.

And in the match against Bologna, I think Lazio will clearly be the favorite. because Bologna's current condition is inconsistent after the coach, Thiago Motta, left.

We have seen a steady performance from Lazio for the last few seasons. In the 2022-23 season, the team managed to occupy the second place in the table. This season too, Lazio's performance is strong. They are only 1 point behind Napoli who are at the top of the table. Lazio has been able to win eight of their 12 matches. Lazio's attacking players are able to score a lot of goals, while Lazio's defense is also strong this season. Lazio has conceded only 14 goals in 12 matches.

However, I am surprised by the performance of Fiorentina and Atalanta this season. These two teams are in great form at the moment. Atalanta has probably won all of their last six matches. And Fiorentina has continued its winning streak of 5 consecutive matches. The battle for the Serie A title has become quite intense this season. Several teams are in good form.

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.

This is a tough start for Ranieri to begin on Serie A. Even have many time when face Conte on all event, but Ranieri is look difficult to implement his strategy. He still look composition player which suitable for his scheme. I think if they used that formation on beginning, it will change again on the 2nd hals if it's not so effective to dampen Napoli attacker. Roma has only 19% chance to win on Napoli home which I think Ranieri will implement how to defend so effectively and relying to counter-attack.

This is not the first time for Conte, so he knows a lot about how to overcome Ranieri's strategy. so does Ranieri which I think this match will be tough with minimal goal difference or draw.

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.

In this match, Coach Marco Baroni will have the best players to choose from. As for Bologna, their disadvantage is that they have lost many key players. Bologna also no longer maintains the fearsome image as they finished in 5th place in Serie A last season. Having to compete on many fronts, Bologna's squad depth is unlikely to prevent Lazio from winning.
Lazio has been in phenomenal form recently, especially at home. They are now level on points with Inter, Fiorentina, and Atalanta with 25 points. Lazio is settling into life under Marco Baroni. So it is not difficult to guess that you will bet on Lazio to win. I will also bet a little on this match.

The clause is he will not be playing till sometimes in March so even if as a free agent, he eventually gets bought, he may start training and then start playing only after his punishment but as it regards now, he's not got a team yet, but I think there are a few teams interested in him especially as hes a free agent although its still rumors i believe hes getting a team pretty soon as there are some interests around him already except hes going to be picky about it.

Well, This week's match of Serie A, there are really some big things that should not be missed.
Milan vs Juventus
Napoli vs AS Roma
Lazio vs Bologna

And for AS Roma itself, with their new coach, Ranieri, can they play much better than Napoli who have developed quite well with Conte this season? This is not good enough for his first debut with AS Roma to face Napoli. But, surely, I'm curious about what kind of tactics he will apply, he usually applies 4-3-1-2. And based on the information, Ranieri will count on under-fire Roma trio against Napoli
