Even as a Juventus fan i see this match in a very complex way, in fact i am a little anxious

we already have difficulty scoring goals up front, if our best striker isn't there, we're really in a terrible situation
in fact i don't know whether to watch it or not, i m afraid that this time we going to lose

This is a tough one to predict even though Milan are having hard days recently.    If it was going to be played in Turin then I would say Juventus would get ahead and take advantage of their solid defense.

But at San Siro, I think anything can happen. Milan have a very vulnerable defense though. That's why I might prefer BTTS @1.87 instead of betting on a side.  


Roma has just changed their manager you know. Ranieri has been appointed for the job after a short journey with Juric. This could reflect on the players positively. However we can't still overlook Napoli's rise after Conte has arrived. I still feel like it is worth taking the risk by betting on Napoli @1.76. The odds are tempting.  

Chiesa doesn't seem suitable to play with Liverpool, because until now Chiesa has rarely been played. I don't know what the main reason is that Chiesa doesn't get many playing minutes, but it seems like the injury factor has a big influence on Chiesa. Apart from that, in my personal opinion, the second factor that causes Chiesa to have difficulty getting playing minutes at Liverpool is because Chiesa has the same playing position as M Salah. This is certainly a very difficult thing for Chiesa to get playing minutes. Because M, Salah is of course a mainstay player for Liverpool. So it is impossible for Chiesa, who just came to Liverpool, to replace M, Salah. Therefore, currently Chiesa can be said to be just a replacement for M, Salah at Liverpool.

So with this in mind, it would be better for Chiesa to return to Serie A, while there is still a chance. Because according to the news circulating, Inter Milan is said to be willing to visit Chiesa in the upcoming winter transfer market. So with this in mind, I think Chiesa would be better off moving to Inter Milan rather than staying at Liverpool but not getting many playing minutes. Apart from that, currently Inter Milan does not have a single player who plays as a right winger. So if Chiesa joins Inter Milan, I think it would be very suitable for Chiesa, because he plays as a right winger. Therefore, hopefully Chiesa can really be brought to Inter.

I will never agree with with @Pokapoka124 because judging by the results, Xabi Alonso achieved what many highly rated coaches never achieved. Like you said, Xabi picked up the team from their lowest point and made them a supper team that created an enviable record of no loss in the Bundelisga until the end of the season. If things are not going perfectly well for them this season like it was going last season, that is ok and never enough reason to begin to doubt the managerial abilities of Xabi. Even this season, they are still a team to beat despite the few ups and downs.

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.

For the match between AS Roma vs Napoli, I think Napoli will be able to win, not without reason, because as you said AS Roma is currently in a not-so-good phase. Although they finally appointed a more experienced coach, the adaptation process will certainly be one of the obstacles for them. What we can hope for is that AS Roma can give their best game in this match and not let Napoli win easily. They will also play as hosts, that will make them get full support from the audience, don't let them disappoint their supporters at their own headquarters.

Well that's right. Bringing in an experienced coach does not guarantee success for a club. And vice versa, bringing in a coach who doesn't have much experience doesn't mean the coach won't be successful. Because currently we see many young coaches who have minimal experience but have succeeded in bringing the clubs they coach to achieve maximum performance. An example of one of them is Xabi Alonso. And then the one who is younger than Xabi Alonso, namely Ruben Amorim, is trusted to be the new Man United coach after successfully making Sporting CP improve rapidly in performance. And many other young coaches have had great success with their clubs.

Sometimes a coach is suitable for a club and there are others who are not. For example, some experienced coaches like Tuchel sometimes fail at one club but have succeeded at other clubs. Well, there are many factors that make us unable to predict everything after the arrival of a new coach. Whether the trainer is experienced or not. Now Roma will be coached by Ranieri and I think that's a good thing. because Ranieri has a lot of experience. But once again this will not guarantee success will come to AS Roma. But I hope AS Roma recovers quickly with Ranieri.

This week there will be 2 interesting matches that we will not miss,

• Milan vs Juventus
• Napoli vs Roma

These two matches are really difficult to predict and I am sure that there will be a surprise in one of the matches. However, in my opinion, the Milan vs Juventus match could end in a draw because both teams have almost similar performance even though Juventus is actually superior. But on the one hand, the bookmakers actually favor Milan. So I believe a draw could be the strongest.
For Napoli and Roma, although Roma current condition is in a bad period, it does not mean that Napoli will win easily and even Roma could give a surprise in the match. Napoli can get the victory but with a small score difference.
So, do you have a prediction for these 2 matches? Let's discuss.

Pogba is already 31 years old and he has been absent from playing football for a very long time so of course Pogba's individual quality has declined greatly and the steps taken by Juventus are quite right because it is impossible for Juventus to maintain Pogba with a high salary, it will be very detrimental to the team.

For Paul Pogba's future career, it will be quite difficult in my opinion, the first is that he now has to find a new team and most likely no top European team will be interested and whether he wants to or not Pogba has to start from the beginning again in a team that is not so popular or in a league that is not competitive and that will make his career even more difficult, especially at his age which is no longer young.

True, although there is indeed a loss owned by Juventus because of the condition of Susan who temporarily has to miss several matches but fortunately the injury suffered by Susan is not too severe which makes Juventus' losses a little able to be minimized.

This season Dusan is slowly regaining his momentum to play well because under Motta's tutelage Dusan is currently regaining his goal scoring instinct which was not very good in several seasons of the Allegri era.
The injury can affect his instincts again especially for a long injury so that indeed with the current conditions where Dusan only has to rest a few days it is still profitable for Juventus even in a few matches such as against Milan and Aston Villa in the Champions League continued.
Juventus have lost some important players like Douglas Luiz, Milik and Juan Cabal for a little longer so it will double Juventus' loss if Dusan has to be injured for a long time too.

Inevitably, Juventus had to release Pogba after the doping problem that ensnared him, besides that his age and also his performance so far have certainly been a consideration for Motta not to give him a place in the Juventus squad this season, we must admit that Pogba has been a player who has extraordinary talent, but the age factor and his injury history so far may be a consideration for the big team to recruit him later, the only way to get back to his current form is to have a club, so Pogba can prove that he can still perform consistently and be injury-free, I think with his current age maybe playing in Arab clubs, Turkey and also America could be a better alternative for him later when he can play again.

Good choice hopefully you will be lucky this time but I doubt about Napoli vs Roma match because I think this match is quite difficult to predict Roma need points to improve their position in the standings especially this will be Ranieri's first debut in this match so he certainly wants to make Roma appear impressive when playing Napoli although this will be a tough challenge for him. Atalanta and Inter Milan no doubt they will definitely win because their opponents are weak clubs, the match will be very interesting because both have the same points if one of them wins or draws it will create a points difference.

If Dusan Vlahovic is injured, then most likely Thiago Motta will play young players Samuel Mbangula or Lorenzo Angelè, although they don't have much playing time but that could be an option for Thiago Motta in hosting AC Milan later, but it's hard to imagine playing two young players to replace Dusan Vlahovic's role as a striker, but Thiago Motta can play three of their reliable players, namely Kenan Yildiz, Nicoláz González, F. Conceição, all three can promise victory over AC Milan this week because of the victory that Juventus needs this season.

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.

when I look at the statistics, Timothy Weah is better than Kenan Yildiz. Timothy Weah has 4 goals and 1 assist from 8 matches, while Kenan Yildiz only has 3 goals and 2 assists from 12 matches. This is a crucial situation was faced by many clubs when getting it back their player from the international break. The club must prepare substitution players if their core players play in the national team. Not only Juventus, but other clubs have faced the same problem such as Internazionale (Hakan Çalhanoğlu), Atalanta (Gianluca Scamacca), Fiorentina (Albert Gudmundsson), and others.

They must do that if they want to compete for the Serie-A title this season and it's time for them to forget about Pogba because he also did not give maximum results in the last few seasons at Juventus before getting a ban for doping. Pogba still has hope to show his quality to other clubs, but his age factor and his frequent injuries can hinder other teams from recruiting him, especially if his salary is too high, then any team will definitely consider many things before recruiting him.

Xabi Alonso is a bet from Leverkusen and remember that when they appointed Xabi as their head coach, their position in Bundesliga was very bad, but Xabi came and improved them. He is like Pep Guardiola in Barcelona, Zidane in Real Madrid but bets on young and inexperienced coaches are always risky. You can win or fail with your bet and we are witnessing Xabi Alonso and Bayer Leverkusen with troubles in Bundesliga this season. A great season like a last one for Leverkusen is really hard to happen again.

Claudio Ranieri is very experienced and he can help Roma to finish this season well enough despite of very bad start. If he succeeds with this mission, he will set up a good foundation for a next coach, who will work with them in a next season, because Ranieri will only work for Roma in rest of this season.

I heard that Dusan Vlahovic has a thigh injury. He limped off in the 88th minute of Serbia's goalless draw with Denmark due to a strained left thigh muscle. it is worth noting that this season, Dusan Vlahovic is Juventus' top scorer having scored six goals in 12 matches in the Italian top flight. Juventus have practically no other strikers, and Dusan Vlahovic's injury could be a serious problem for Motta.

If he doesn't recover in time, i think we'll have to choose between Timothy Weah or Kenan Yildiz as a replacement. If I had to choose, I would prioritize Kenan Yildiz, he is a Juventus prodigy. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the difference Kenan Yildiz makes to the Motta team is huge.

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.

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.
