I think UCL is a dream for them, not because of this game, but look at the other teams that they could play against if they go further, maybe they will lose this one or maybe they will win this one but eventually they will lose, and that is why league is the only thing that they will end up winning if you ask me. That is still fine, how many league titles Napoli has won?

I mean when was the last time they won? It is clear that we are talking about a team that is hungry for any achievement and league would be more than fine. It is not "almost" guaranteed in my mind, I would say that it would require some nightmare for them to lose at this point.

Roma still can't show consistency even though Roma are currently in the top four, with Roma in the top four, Roma should be more consistent in order to get a win when Roma play against a mediocre team. The previous match against Lecce is proof that Roma is indeed difficult to be consistent, and for the next match Roma will play at home against Verona who are in the relegation zone.

Even though Verona is currently in the relegation zone, they are unbeaten in their last four matches, and Verona can hold Udinese and Lazio to a draw. This result is a good result for the relegation team and because of that, I'm sure Verona will be able to put up a tough fight for Roma in the match later.

For me Juventus win the game because Spezia Calcio is showing signs of depression and Juventus is playing with excellent precision and technique.
Last games are good (of Juventus).

Weird but true, that's the only thing that can be said for Inter Milan. Because as can be seen in this season, Inter Milan has won very often with the top teams and even beat Napoli even though only once this season. But what makes me wonder is why Inter Milan can't even win with a bottom team that is in the relegation zone, this is obviously very strange and very surprising and also now there is no need to dream anymore of chasing Napoli for the title in Serie A this season.

The possible thing for intermilan to keep its performance better until the end of season to be qualified for the next UCL. Simeone inzaghi has been admitting if napoli is too difficult to be replaced due to the big gaps to the intermilan. Simeone has been even given up to compete with napoli for scudetto. There's no chance for intermilan to make it happen. Simeone must focus on how to stay in second place until the end of season to be qualified for UCL next season.
It will be a great achievement at the same time intermilan is still playing in some competitions too. Simeone was also feeling frustrated with the result against sampdoria. A bit surprised that sampdoria knows how to counter intermilan.

In fact, if you look at the away game, Inter dominated the match with 66 percent possession and 25 chances with five of them right at the opposing team's goal. But until the match was over, Inter failed to score a single goal and had to settle for bringing home one point. This result makes Simone Inzaghi's team still in second place in the Italian League standings with 44 points. of course it really disappointed Intermilan supporters

If we look at Inter's next opponent, Udinese is a pretty good team in the Serie A standings, but the results of Udinese's last 5 matches are quite bad and they can only get 1 win, the rest are draws and losses. I think Inter are capable of beating Udinese and after that they need to recover for the next match against Porto in UCL competition.

To be honest, in this condition I feel that Napoli really exceeded expectations because indeed when I saw before when they continued to rise in position and always won, in the middle of the season there was always a decline in performance which made them fail again and again in the last few seasons but indeed this season they are very different.
Substitution of players to younger ones as well as for the attack line is also a blessing for Napoli because this season Osimhen's role is like closing and forgetting the departing Dries Mertens.

There needs to be an upturn in form for one of the teams other than Napoli and there needs to be a sharp drop in form from Napoli if they are to overtake them now.
The conditions are too far at the moment so it is indeed very difficult to make Napoli shift by a very large gap now.
Napoli's form this season has been too great for a Serie A side who have always had problems with inconsistency which has made it even more complicated and they are running alone in the title race now.

True, the conditions now are difficult enough indeed to deny that Napoli cannot become champions.
Their closest competitor is Inter but the difference is 15 points which is definitely difficult of course.
Napoli are now running on their own after other clubs still have the same problem of inconsistency.
Now it's just a matter of waiting for them to actually secure the championship because it's only a matter of time because even though now they still have the chance to play badly, it's still difficult to catch 15 points for other teams.

Sampdoria really understood the Inter tactics from the beginning till the end of the match, because Inter found it difficult to have access to Sampdoria goalpost to score a single goal from the match. It showed that the two teams displayed well from the match but Inter have more opportunity to score goals in the first half but their strikers miss used their opportunities that made the match to ended up draw 0-0 . Many people predicted for Inter to win the match but Sampdoria never allow such thing to happen than to made all their position stronger for Inter players not to achieve victory from the match.

Inter Milan proved once again that they do not have the squad to win the title or compete for the title in the midst of their defeat against Sampdoria. Their overall condition is now weak. And their only goal is probably to qualify for the Champions League. And so this year's title win has become easier for Napoli.
However, Napoli will likely want to continue their good performances on the Champions League platform as well as winning the Serie A title. And it's a bit risky. They are likely to lose form. If you want to perform well in both places, the chances of players getting injured will also increase.

The Serie A title is almost guaranteed for Napoli this season, and right now there's nothing better than that than to focus their minds on the Champions League. Napoli must be very dominant over their opponent even though Frankfurt is not a too weak opponent, but the performance of the two teams in their respective leagues can be a reference for why Napoli is the favourite.

A ticket to the quarter-finals for Napoli can be hoped for, but I don't think they will be the only ones to get there after Milan also won the match against Tottenham. So I think Napoli will be safe not to push the players too much in the match against Sassuolo this weekend. It must be done to avoid injury even though so far the appearance of Luciano Spalletti's men has been brilliant.

Certainly, to team comes close to the title or is a strong contender for the title other Napoli. They paid their dues through hard sheer teamwork, persistence, discipline and others. Serendipity came their way when Juventus drop 15 points.
It would have been a real challenge but not anymore. Right now, saying Napoli will win the title race this season is no longer a possibility but a certainty.

They are moving too far from other clubs in Serie A. I agree that none of teams from Inter Milan to Lazio will be able to beat Napoli and take over a first position. Those clubs don't have too good forms that can not be compared to outstanding form of Napoli. The current gaps are big enough and plus with their form differences, no chance for other clubs.

Napoli will have to control their emotion and they can start to think of winning and getting maximum results without pressure on themselves to win too big. They must reserve their players for Champions League.

Frankfurt are in race with Bayern for Bundesliga trophy but I don't think they are competitive and strong enough to beat Napoli. In the past season, they won against Barcelona in Europa League but they did not have big improvement in quality after that. Oppositely Napoli have change themselves a lot since the past season and their players have good performance from main players to alternative players.

Napoli will no longer be overtaken by any team for the remainder of this season. I don't really believe they will let go of this golden opportunity to win the title and do it quicker than any other team in any league. Napoli have kept a very high gap in points compared to Inter, Atalanta, Roma and Milan, and 15 points clear of second-placed Inter is quite a lot so far.

If there's anything to note, I think Napoli just need to be very focused on the Champions League this season and prove themselves worthy of qualifying for the quarter-finals as well. Frankfurt may not be underestimated, but it looks like Napoli will be successful in beating this German representative easily.

We have all been aware of what Mou has done for Roma, and one of the things that has caught my attention the most is that he preferred to put all his energy into the team than in his own than in Portugal, his reasons must be very strong If the players do everything as Mou says, I think they will be able to generate better football (and they are already giving results).

We cannot forget that everything depends on the state of mind and how the players can continue to perform in Serie A and they are doing very well, Napoli is the undisputed leader, in this 2023 football is very full of surprises, and I think that The World Cup in Qatar was the one that opened all hope that in football any result is possible.

Inter Milan Coach Inzaghi Could Have Second Thoughts About Starting Lukaku Vs Porto After Performance Vs Sampdoria, Italian Media Suggest

Yesterday Sampdoria vs Inter in the Italian League I saw between the two teams that played the match, neither team could score any goals. But everyone thought that Inter would win the match but it didn't happen. The match was drawn due to the good performance of both teams. But between the two teams  We saw that Inter tried to play a good game. But until the end Inter could not score any goals.

If seen from the current position with the number of points, no doubt that Napoli's position will be indeed difficult to take over. It has been 23 matches from 38 entirely. The difference points between Napoli and the runner-up is more than 15. This is a far difference. It seems to be very hard and impossible to reach and take over. Moreoever, Napoli's performance is always great in every match, very consistent than others. It is very different from what happened to other clubs in Serie which are not consistent in being good in every match.

Meanwhile, Inter, in second place, were unable to play well and optimally so they could only get draws, not wins. Even though it was only against a small club that was in the relegation zone. There must be something wrong with the result, because if you look at it in any way, Inter has an advantage over Sampdoria.

Yes, partly the position that Napoli now has is privileged, having such a difference in points is something that is very advantageous, it is like having a cushion for any type of fall, here what Napoli has to be clear about, that is, They don't have to allow defeats or draws, because when starting with that type of behavior it is very easy to reduce the amount of points they have ahead, if they lose 4 games in a row it is likely that they will reach them, so the advantage is good but knowing how to maintain it, and so far they have achieved it, I think that this is the greatest premise and I think that they will take care of such an advantage, which is very good.


You are right, I see your point and it is the most logical thing, however, you have to keep in mind that the level of football shown by Napoli has been superior, but I have seen teams that are at the top and suddenly fall and as a result we have what It has happened in the Bundesliga and La Liga.

The goal of the Inter players should focus on the second place to qualify for the UCL, but another scenario should also be considered, if Napoli lose 4 games in a row, the team that is best positioned can take the first place, in football any Anything can happen, of course it's a highly unlikely scenario, but it can happen.
