I'm yet to choose my favorite to win the Scudetto this season because there are heavy presence of elite clubs that have included the scudetto in their obligation this season, the fight for competitive race is on. This season have been promising for every prominent clubs in the Seria A. Winning the scudetto this season comes with huge critical tasks, we're talking about constant winning streak on the line for these elite clubs. How would it be possible to win games without facing temporary setbacks? For some it is while others, definitely not. Every club have a problem to solve this season, so Juventus is not only the club with problems. Perhaps every managers seeks more exploring ideas to solved their problems this season.

I am not quite sure, whether Claudio Ranieri will be the right choice and suitable for the current situation and condition of AS Roma. Because anyway, after Claudio Ranieri managed to make Leicester get the Premier League trophy at that time and after four seasons passed at that time, Claudio Ranieri also returned to become the head coach of AS Roma in the 2019 season. But it seems that Claudio Ranieri was not long enough at AS Roma at that time,  and I also don't know whether the change of coach at that time was a dismissal or indeed an expired contract. But yes, the point is I'm still not so sure Claudio Ranieri can make AS Roma get a quick improvement this season. But yes, at least Claudio Ranieri can make AS Roma return to the top zone position in the standings at least the top six or top five is not bad at all.

Juventus are better this season, yes they still have problems in attack, this is something they will have to fix if they want to count on the Scudetto, but I can't say that they do not deserve to be champions. I would rather say that I think Atalanta and Fiorentina are higher than I expected, but I think they can hold on here for a very long time. Atalanta is known for its instability, and as for Fiorentina, I can't yet understand what they are capable of, maybe it is also only temporary.

Serie A is getting more interesting to follow because the competition here looks very tight, as evidenced by the close point difference between the clubs at the top, precisely in positions 1 to 6. This is something that is very much liked by football lovers because competition like this adds to the sensation of watching each match even hotter. We will definitely wait for the results of the matches from each club, because it will greatly affect their position in the standings. This is also a motivation for the clubs that are competing, because there is no choice for them other than winning every week.

clearly it can be applied to anyone, to any team that is in those places
but i repeat, a negative outlook due to the problems it has
Inter, for example, is a stable team and therefore does not have these problems
the same problems, obviously Milan doesn't have all of them

Napoli on the other hand is doing well

A competitive season. That is what i get from the current table. Almost all Serie A teams were nearly equal. This made for a very competitive league. Unlike last season, one team isn't dominating now.

As for the winner, in my opinion, i'd prefer to see Napoli take it, or maybe Juventus is my second choice. Inter was winning it last year. I don't want to see them take the scudetto again, though, they're among the favorites to win the title, based on the latest odds. But I hope a different team wins it.

This is one of the most interesting league table so far as the teams from position 1- 6 dare not lose each games unless they will automatically be going to a different position because of their points gap, Napoli and the rest of the teams from 2nd position to 6th are not sure of staying in their position if they drop a single point,  Juventus and the rest of the team are not giving them rest because the difference is not mush any each team is going to keep being consistent for them to be sure of their position otherwise there will be no rest for each and everyone of the team until the league takes a different shape.

With this table and point gaps so far, the Italian league is absolutely open for any of these six teams listed above to move up to number 1 spot, and if it happens that any of these teams has Napoli to face, then there may be a chance for a shift in points and positions displaced and gaps get filled by other teams, to me not yet clearer who's gonna be the favourable to to lift this season's trophy.

I really enjoy following the Serie A in the recent years. Because man just look at the winners of the last 5 years in the league. Juventus, Inter (2), Milan, Napoli... We have had many different champions in these years which is making it more fun to watch in the first place.    Before this look Juventus were completely dominating the league. Like for nearly ten years by winning the title.

It doesn't matter which team is doing it. I just don't want to see big European leagues turning into a farmers league one you know.    So what is your opinion on this year's winner?

There is only a gap of 2 points between the leader Napoli and sixth-placed Juventus. I just love the competition now. I believe Napoli will make it with Conte effect this time.

With the point gap between Napoli and Juventus, I don't see what makes them weaker because it is just two points from the first position. The problem is that the other clubs above Juventus are very strong too and that is why these clubs are using just one point to be ahead of Juventus. It's certain that in the next two games, some of these clubs will lose their position. What Juventus needs to do is for them be consistent.

Claudio Ranieri will be on a kind of pressure and his situation is like that of Manchester United new manager before his first match on the club however I didn't no that Claudio Ranieri has been AS Roma manager for three times, this is why building a good coaching skills is good because even if there contract is completed on the club they would certainly come for him again in the future, so actually Claudio Ranieri may not even be that pressured as we presume because he has always make things better for the club on each of those seasons he manage the club so this time may not be different from those season he was there.

Clubs from positions 2-6 have a small gap and can catch Napoli at the top of the standings at any time. Juventus also has the same chance if they are able to perform consistently again, for now Napoli has not really been able to feel comfortable leading Serie A. With both having played 12 matches and Napoli only 1 point ahead, it is too dangerous if after the International break against Roma the results are bad which means the position will shift.

But this is not the first time that Claudio Ranieri has come to AS Roma when AS Roma is in poor performance. Because in the past Claudio Ranieri also came in almost the same situation, although not as bad as now. Well, of course Claudio Ranieri will be under a bit of pressure because the club and everyone will hope that AS Roma can recover even a little under his coaching. But everyone will also understand how difficult it is to rebuild a team that has been in decline since the season started. So that everyone's expectations will not be too high for Claudio Ranieri, which means he will not have much greater pressure. The pressure will always be there but maybe it won't be too heavy.

This is the third time AS Roma has handed over the manager's chair to Claudio Ranieri after previously being in that position in 2009/2011 & 2019. Ivan Juric's failure to get AS Roma to be considered for this season meant he was fired after losing to Bologna a few days ago, which is it's a tough task for Ranieri because currently AS Roma is in 12th position. I think Ranieri is definitely under a lot of pressure at the moment.

Yes, yesterday Lukaku proved his great qualities to his former team, Inter Milan. Then now Lukaku will also return to play with Roma, his former team in the previous season. So of course this match will be very interesting to watch. Because in matches like this it usually always feels very emotional. So I personally definitely won't miss this match. Apart from that, talking about Roma, this year Roma has changed coaches twice. I think with this, Roma will definitely have a hard time getting back on their feet. Even if, for example, Roma brings in a great coach, I think Roma will still have difficulty rising from its current downturn. Because as you said, the adaptation factor will indeed be quite a big obstacle for Roma. Therefore, I think that this season Roma will most likely appear mediocre. Moreover, if for example Roma gets another bad coach, Roma will definitely get worse.

And according to news circulating currently, Roma will bring in Claudio Ranieri to fill the empty coaching seat at Roma. I personally don't know for sure what kind of coach he is, but what is clear is that we will see, for example, that Roma really recruited Claudio. Then regarding Roma's match with Napoli, I personally will place a fairly large bet on this match, because it would be a shame if, for example, in this match I placed a small bet on Napoli. So I can't wait to see this match.

I think Juventus have also thought about this at this time because they themselves can also see that their attack line really needs better improvements so that Juventus can progress well and remain a candidate for the Serie A title this season. Because of the several teams that currently have the same number of points and are only two points away from the current leader of the standings, of course Juventus' opportunity to seize a much better position is still very open because goal productivity will greatly determine the position of each team to be in which position when the number of points can be the same as what we see now in several other teams in the top standings.

Juventus this season have drawn 6 of their Italian Serie A league games while winning 6 after playing 12 games to remain unbeaten but despite being the only team in the league that's yet to suffer a defeat, the Old Ladies are on the no.6 spot with 2 points behind league leaders Napoli. Like you rightly said, they'll be facing AC Milan after the international break and I think that game will pose a big threat to them because AC Milan in their day can defeat any team just like the did against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League. That game will be played at San Siro so I expect a very tough game for both sides but I predict a Juventus win or draw in that game

It would havee been a better result or outcome if they had win all matches against weaker opponents and draw with the bigger teams that way it would be easier to call them the most interesting but having to share the points with teams like Parma, Cagliari, Empoli and Roma proves they have not yet completely mastered their craft and that is why they found themselves on the 6th position. Being unbeaten they could have easily occupied the 3rd or 2nd or even 1st spot but it’s a good start though not a perfect one as you make it seem. The league is very competitive this season with 6 teams fighting it out already and 6th place Juventus is just 2 points behind Napoli.

The match against AC Milan will determine if Juventus can be a strong contender, they need to do all they can to win but it will not be easy as they will be the visitors.

Juventus are only 2 points behind Napoli. Even so, I think Juventus are not the team that deserves to win the Serie A title this season. I am not happy with Juventus' overall performance this season. Even last season, Juventus' performance was very weak. Juve's performance, I think Juventus' players' main goal is to draw the match. And if they perform like this, it will not be possible for Juventus to occupy the top position of the table.

Fiorentina and Atalanta are in better form than Juventus at the moment. These two teams have been able to continue their good performance consistently. Atalanta has probably won all their last 6 matches and Fiorentina has won all their last 5 matches. Also, Atalanta's attack is very strong this season. Atalanta's players have been able to score 31 goals in 12 matches.

Even though they are currently stuck in 6th position, Juventus are not too far behind the leaders, they can still compete in the title race if they can increase their goal productivity. I don't see any problem in the defense line because they were able to get a clean sheet in 9 matches, the midfield also played very well. The only problem they have is in attack as they often struggle to score against teams they should be able to beat easily. If Juventus want to bring in new players in the January transfer window, they should prioritize a striker to add to their attacking firepower.
