To be honest, I expected Napoli to lose that match, Juventus have to do it and prove that they are better than Napoli. It's okay if Napoli loses because actually they will still lead the standings, but Juventus need a win to stay secure in their position. Didn't expect many goals, but 0-1 was enough to make 3 points for Juventus. I know the probability of Napoli winning is very high, but something different for the result I really wished for. Hope that's true.

It's just that now Milan will have the opportunity to overtake Juventus or not because Juvetus will face the formidable Napoli, actually AC Milan's chances are still wide enough for the Scudetto.
Anything can still happen because the competition is still long but somehow I'm not sure Milan can take a place there even 2nd place I doubt
I personally think this season will belong to Napoli or Juventus these two teams are most deserving of the Scudetto imo
just watch how Juventus play in the last 2 months very impressive and aggressive.
Milan have lost their chance to win the Coppa Italia after losing to Torino in extra time. This defeat was very painful for Milan because Torino played with 10 players from the 70th minute. Now that Milan can focus on Serie A and the UCL, improvements will need to be made to keep the chances in these two competitions. Milan and Juventus both collected 37 points, they are 7 points behind Napoli in first place. Milan's opportunities are still open to catch Napoli, Stefano Pioli must learn from his mistakes when he was eliminated by Torino in the Copa Italia. The quality of defense and attack needs to be improved to help them achieve victory to keep chances in Serie A and UCL.
When I saw this match I immediately checked the line up and it's true Milan didn't play some of the main players
So I conclude that Milan is not very ambitious in this competition as you said Milan will focus more on Serie A and UCL
Now Milan has a new competitor Juventus who have taken over the 2nd place obviously going to complicate their steps.
Because maybe Stefano Pioli is thinking about not playing the main players from the start for fear of injury or worrying about AC Milan will have a tough task in Serie A and in the upcoming UCL later.
It could be that Milan are not so focused on the Coppa Italia and they want to focus on even bigger competitions.

AC Milan facing two bad result after their second position standing in Serie A taken by Juventus and last night have loss opportunity in Copa Italia after eliminating by Torino. Current competition left right now for AC Milan are Champion League and Serie A, I think have advantage although loss opportunity added Copa Italia tittle in their cupboard but AC Milan can focus totally with Serie A and how can reach until final stage in Champion League.
Even though the second place in the standings has been taken over by Juventus, AC Milan's chances are still quite open to chase their points and the Scudetto title race, Napoli will have a tough match in week 18, because they have to face Juventus who are a tough opponent at this time, hoping that Juventus can win the match, so the fight for the Scudetto this season will be more interesting and competitive.Meanwhile, AC Milan must travel to Lecce headquarters in Week 18, this should be an easy match for AC Milan, because Lecce is not a club that is difficult for them to beat. Victory when they travel to Lecce headquarters, is a step to maintain the difference in points from Juventus.
Quote
Current standing in Serie A, AC Milan has the same points with Juventus but facing problem on defender position, have conceded 18 goals of 17 match and seems Milan conceded more than 1 goal every match than Juventus with solid defensive. Actually Juventus not really productive goal scoring than AC Milan but conceded many goals make Milan have dropped to 3rd standing awhile.
Week 17 three clubs in standings one, two and three will play aggressively against each other. Napoli intend to beat Juventus, so that the difference in points between the two will be further apart, on the other hand Juventus also intends to beat Napoli, so that the points they have are even closer. AC Milan will take advantage of this moment, as an effort to get closer to the point difference with Napoli if they fail to beat Juventus.Because if one of the two loses and AC Milan wins against Lecce, the opportunity to chase points will open up more, but it would be even better if Napoli loses, because the fight for the Scudetto title will be even more interesting.

It is unlikely that the club took this defeat as a loss - rather, on the contrary, as an acquisition. National cups are a burden for big teams that fight for the championship in the national championship and play in the Champions League. City also dropped out of the FA Cup yesterday and Real Madrid were close too, but they won the lottery. In the next round, Milan have a great chance to return to the sole second place, since Napoli will at least not lose to Juventus.
What do you think about Inter vs Hellas Verona?,
The odds is very interesting even Hellas Verona has got a big win 2-0 vs Cremonese. We know Verona and Cremonese is the club under the degradation zone, but when we look at how Hellas beat them with 2 different goals, I think Inter must be careful and not underestimate them because They can be made it draw or shame them on Giuseppe meaza. After transition coach, Verona never lost yet on 2 matches, this look effective and grow the squad confidence to make surprise in Inter home. If you are brave, you can make 9x or 6x your bet.

They should not lose points in the league right now, they are not in a very good position anyway. In order to catch Milan and Juventus, they have to earn 3 points in such matches
Ac milan has been facing bad result in copa italia. this may affect the performance from ac milan in serie a. Juventus must not waste this opportunty to make the gap from ac milan. Juventus can become even closer to the napoli as long as juventus will be winning the match against napoli. The only problem that must faced is napoli is now going back again to the its top performance. Im feeling worry if juventus will be losing against ac milan and that will be so bad for sure for juventus. Ac milan may able to make three points gap to the juventus.
Napoli will become even closer to the scudetto for this season. The next match is very interesting to be watched.

AC Milan lost 0 - 1 to Torino in the Coppa Italia, as I was worried, that Milan would drop points in this game. For conditions like this, I think it will affect the mentality of the AC Milan players. They are under pressure, because Inter have the same points as AC Milan in Serie-A. Yesterday I said that. The defeat in the Coppa Italia against Torino added to the record that Milan often losing points against mid and bottom teams which they should have won. From this result, I doubt Milan will be able to fight for the Scudetto title.
The match that should have been AC Milan's victory, but apparently it didn't materialize. AC milan had a very difficult time against Torino, even 1 goal was created in additional extra time and at the same time made AC milan eliminated from the Coppa Italia competition. The points for AC milan and Inter Milan are not the same, AC milan is still 4 points ahead of Inter milan on the Serie A standings. AC milan's next match will be against Lecce, I think AC milan will still be on the winning track in this match and not think too much about defeat previously in the Coppa Italia.
Basically, because in this moment they have probably the same strength and/or quality and because they have the same chance to win too. So I think a draw seems to be the result that is going to happen, because with Juventus being good in defense but Juventus often find themselves in stalemate to score.
Therefore, I think a draw result for this big match is likely to happen and I am not a fan of Juventus and Napoli. I'm only considering it as a bettor, because for me at this moment Juventus and Napoli are indeed very good at defending so they could have ended the match with a 0-0 draw.
Yes, true, they could also draw, but neither team would be happy.
I don't know, it sounds like a good game played strategically and tactically too, we'll see. I can't wait to watch it (if I can't watch it live I'll watch it recorded)
The 2 teams that are currently ranked 1st and 2nd will have a very decisive match, yes Napoli will host Juventus this week. This will be a very interesting match because on the one hand Napoli wants to stay away from Juventus, and Juventus wants to be closer to Napoli, who now have a point gap between them of 7 points. In this match Napoli are more favored, they will also act as hosts which usually will increase their motivation.

as a juventus supporter of course i hope juventus can win the match against napoli later, because that is an opportunity to reduce the gap in points to Napoli at the top of the standings, of course juventus will also not let Napoli bring full points, even though many predictions say the score will be a draw because both are very strong but I'm sure juventus can narrowly win against napoli 
You say what you believe and other people also say what they believe because these two teams actually have the same strength to win so it is very possible that their match will end in a draw. Even though both of them don't want to play in a draw because considering that these two teams both have different desires, even though the goals are the same. Namely want to win and get full points after the game is over.Basically, because in this moment they have probably the same strength and/or quality and because they have the same chance to win too.

It will be a good match I hope, surely there won't be the typical whining of Inter.
In any case, here Napoli must bring out their strength and charisma, this is the match in which they must demonstrate that they deserve the Scudetto, so they must necessarily win.
I hope so, I bet on Napoli (few euros as always).

I'm not completely sure about Napoli's possibility of winning, it's because Juventus' form is improving.
But it doesn't matter, you might have considered Napoli as the favorite because the match will be played at home, but I hope you don't underestimate Juventus too much by betting big on Napoli.

it's something that is very risky, Hellas Verona has played well in its last two matches by getting 1 win and 1 draw, but now what they are facing is Inter Milan who are in a positive trend and are also in dire need of points for competition at the top of the standings .The odds is very interesting even Hellas Verona has got a big win 2-0 vs Cremonese.

Inter Milan, who drew with Monza in their last match, certainly don't want to lose full points again in this match, so I think Inter Milan will win this match with a convincing score.
in large odds betting it is very tempting but for a high level of risk I think it is not really worth it.

After this season break. AC Milan does seem to be in decline. even its consistency began to be doubted. Being held to a draw by Roma when playing at home was a pretty unsatisfactory result. and in the match against Torino in the Coppa Italia, it turned out that Milan also suffered a defeat with a score of 1-0. So it's only natural that in the next game, against Lecce, we doubt Milan's superiority a little. because we also have to know that Lecce seems to be starting to find their consistency. even Lazio has lost to Lecce. However, if Milan returns to their best performance, it will be very easy for Milan to beat Lecce in the match later.
In the next match Napoli will face another strong team, that is Juventus what do you think will Napoli get the 3rd defeat ?
We know that Juventus is the team with the most ambition to catch Napoli and so far Juventus have done it perfectly
If Juventus wins then the point difference is 4 points meaning that Napoli is really not safe.
This match is significant. Napoli are the clear favorites in this matchup, as we all know.We know that Juventus is the team with the most ambition to catch Napoli and so far Juventus have done it perfectly
If Juventus wins then the point difference is 4 points meaning that Napoli is really not safe.
Additionally, Juventus has now won 8 straight games in Serie A. I'm delighted Napoli beat Sampdoria after losing to Inter, something I remember being quite sad about. They still need to get back into shape, though.
Napoli hasn't lost any of their last three home games against Juventus, and they haven't lost at home either, thus I believe that gives them the advantage over Juventus. In football, though, anything may happen at any time. Juventus now has the top defense in the league and has been playing incredibly well. I don't know who the winner will be at the end of the match.
@piebeyd Juventus have definitely revived themselves, but now they face the ultimate test and if they wish to remain in the title race then they have to win this game. Furthermore Pogba is also back in training, but I’m not sure if he’ll be rushed back for this fixture however if he’s back then he can definitely help Juventus as he had enjoyed lots of success when he used to play for them before his Manchester United transfer.
