Osimhen scored another goal and things are bad for Juventus (although now they had a moment to equalize).
Are we going to see the "end" of the discussion about this year's title holder today? I hope at least that Napoli won't win too big (I predicted 2-0 in the pool for this game).

---

Di Maria just has a burst of activity, I think if he does not realize anything in the first half, then in the second he will no longer be dangerous due to lack of strength.

A great start to the game for Napoli. Via Oshamendi they took a 1-0 lead after fifteen minutes of play. The scenario will have gone through the minds of the Napoli players that they absolutely want to win this game, otherwise Juventus will come very close. There is still a lot of time to play, literally anything can happen. Napoli has the home advantage and a head start, but Juventus are a better team in terms of content and have not just won 8 games in a row. Will there be a 9th after that? It could be. An equalizer at half-time would help Juventus immensely to keep the chances in this match for a win.

Napoli really pressed the Juventus defense very well, and Napoli just scored a goal through Victor Osimhen. I think Juventus panicked a bit at the start in this match and made some mistakes, but it's not over yet. I don't think Juventus will lose because there are too many hopes for a win today even though they are not the favourites. Di Maria needs to prove himself and he needs to make a big impact in this match.

Just now Juventus went behind Napoli, Victor Osimhen is quite good he is a dangerous striker but Juventus prefer strengthened midfielders will this be a strong defense or help in attack? Juventus still have long time to be able to reply to this goal that was left behind.
It's quite difficult to fight Napoli while he will continue to win with any team except Inter milan who can beat him, because the game is not over anything can happen at the end of the game.

Napoli have just got ahead by 1-0 in the 14th minute. It was already obvious from the start they have made in fact. Because only one minute before the goal Osimhen had a great chance to score. He had a great shot to the left post but the goalkeeper saved it amazingly. But now Osimhen has scored the goal anyway. It looks like this game will be really difficult for Juventus side. They still have many missing players and this is just increasing the difficulty even more for them.

If Juventus scored the first goal then I would have seen a draw quite possible. But now it is more like Napoli will win most probably. Especially if the score becomes 2-0 I don't think Juventus can make a comeback.

Good lineup for Juventus and i think they can win and continue their streak. This is the match that can decide the league if Napoli wins i think its game over for o most all other teams at the chance for the title. Probobly a low scoring match because Juventus rarely concedes goals.

Inter have easy opponents but it's not really a guarantee that Inter will win these games. In the leading group, Inter is the worst team in terms of the number of lost games and the number of goals conceded. I wouldn't be surprised if Inter lose points again. However, no matter what happened in other games, the most important match began right now

Good to see Chiesa in the starting XI, before Injury was easily a 100m € player.

Game starting soon.

Massimiliano Allegri must learn from Inter, Lille and Villareal how to beat Napoli. Even though two of those matches were friendly matches, I think Massimiliano Allegri will be able to learn something about Napoli's weaknesses. It's true that Napoli are difficult to beat because they are in the prime of form, but nothing is impossible.

Having 5 midfielders in this match will make the Juventus midfield even stronger. They need to dominate the midfield so that the movement of Napoli's forward players is hampered. Maybe this strategy will work, but Juventus can also take advantage of quick counter-attacks. Technically, I think Juventus will win.

But if Inter have the same points as Juventus, then Inter will still be under Juventus because Juventus has more total goals. But yes, at least with Inter playing against Verona, it is certain that Inter will also be a shadow that continues to threaten to take over second place or even for the top position too.
Napoli, who previously looked fine because they had a fairly wide gap in points, but at this moment, of course, Napoli will not be as comfortable as before because Juventus and Inter can become teams that can take over first place in the Serie A standings.

this guy i believe that all juventus fans no longer count on him in the team, even if he plays for juventus, it probably won't even be this season or it may be in the last games of the season and given that he stopped playing for a long time the coach of juventus will not play him right away, it will take a long time for him to play 90 minutes in juventus, the fact is that juventus did very well without him so when that happens what the team does right away is sell the player to the first interested in him


i also bet that milan will win in this game but i am really 100% convinced that this will not be an easy game for milan looking at milan's bad defense and looking at the last games of lecce they had many draws and surprising victory against lazio by this is why i think milan needs to be very careful with leccer, i hope milan don't ruin my bet because i've had bad luck when i bet on them

I also hope that Juventus will win and it will be exciting again in Italy in the Serie A. Juventus' starting line-up includes di Maria and Chiesa. But Juventus is playing very defensively today, only 1 striker. Napoli play with 3 offensiv players, they will shoot at goal much more often today. Juventus will have not many chances, but hope 1 goal more than Napoli.

It's almost time for the runner up and we're expecting everything fascinating in these game today...
From the update I got, Paul Pogba is back from his knee injury that eventually resulted to a surgery, but I think he's fine now as he's been spotted in the dressing room and also the warm-up arena.
I just think Juve would need alot of effort to either vye for the top or maintain their position currently; Napoli has gotten 14 wins, 44 points and  26 goals outstanding.. well, let's see what happens at the end of the first period

Inter shouldn't have much difficulty this week. Verona are one of the weakest teams in the league currently. This is a free win for Inter. They are currently one of the best teams in home games with only one loss so far. Verona don't have even one win in away games. Besides Inter have a very solid history in head-to-head home games against Verona. They beat Verona like all the time in the recent years.

Depending on the result of Napoli - Juventus game they can catch up with at least one of them a little more by this week.

It's not about guessing their playing style, if you ask me, speaking generally about Juventus, their play style is much different compared to many other teams and they usually play defensively while they can have high-speed counterattacks and that's mostly because of the strong midfielders they have so they won't need to have the ball and ground under control whole they can use the counterattacks and but just using the chance they may have on the game they will win, from the games I saw that's what understood from the games.

Well, as far as Roma's strategy is concerned, I think many have been criticizing it, but you have to be a little patient, Mou is not just any technical director, he has the necessary players at his disposal to make the team move up much more, and he can put them in a very good position in all ways and by ahbaer, however I am inclined to think that the most Roma fans can say that this team has a lot of potential, perhaps we will not be talking about one like when the great Totti was there , but we do have players in this team who can help win games, and what Roma need now, as in Serie A, is that, to win.


The truth is that it does not surprise me because of the victories that Juve has had, it is a team that is totally focused, I think that this time they came out with all their strength to be able to seize that first place, however Napoli are already seeing it as a an easy target to reach, and we fall into the same thing that had been speculated even before the World Cup, that Napoli if they don't start to play well, if they start to lose their advantage for whatever reason because of the sale of players or something, it's a It's a pity that they lose this opportunity to go first, the teams come stronger, more repowered, some players had a lot of time to rest and that is reflected in their gameplay.

and good news :

Paul Pogba returns to partial training in latest step on road to Juve comeback

Milan are going to have a really comfortable week this time. The opponent is Lecce and this team are not much threat to Milan normally. Milan should just be careful and had better not underestimate Lecce even a bit. The reason why I'm pointing this out is Lecce's current form in the league. Because they haven't been losing a single match for five matches in the league. This would be a factor to improve their self-confidence here. They have conceded the same amount of goals with Milan so far but they are really bad at scoring.

Milan should take advantage of their weaknesses and beat them by a decent score gap like 2-0, 3-1 and so on.

I expected the probability of a Juventus victory to be increased after we started the first half. At the moment everyone seems to think Napoli is the favourite, meanwhile they are unsure about Juventus so the probability is low. Juventus had something to prove today and I expected them to score first and surprise everyone.

I don't think Juventus lost, so maybe you need to adjust your stake if you do bet on Napoli. A draw is the most likely result, but I hope for a Juventus win. 1-1 or 1-2, that is fair.

Yes I agree that this is an important match for both teams each point will determine their steps forward especially Juventus who keep trying to take over
I suspect that the Juventus match will play defensively and rely on counterattacks As we know that Juventus have a strong defense so Napoli will need more effort
On the other hand Napoli will use playing in front of his own fans this means they are more confident but still need luck to win.

Already two seasons at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium Napoli not lost against Juventus, the possibility of a definite result is a draw or victory for Napoli in this match, I agree with you Juventus will not win although they currently in a good performance. Also Napoli this season is very great, it's proved that in the Champions league they are getting very good results, but to bet on them is too risky although I also believe they will win.
