Relegation zone seems boring this season, the three teams at the bottom are doing poorly and the closest team to them are spezia with 6 points difference its a big gap for teams unable to win to overcome, all of them will have tough games in the next rounds so no changes expected on the bottom of the table atlseast for a while.
What is surprising at this time is that Verona continues to sink to the bottom of the standings and most likely go to Serie B even though if you look at the previous season they have always been able to perform well and continue to be in the middle of the standings. But this season is very different for Verona, 15 matches just one win and 2 draws really made them crumble at the bottom and their defense this season is the worst defense for Verona when compared to the previous few seasons.
verona's situation is very serious, it doesn't even seem that last season they were a team that caused a lot of problems for all teams, but this season they are at the bottom of the table their next game will be against torino which is always a very problematic team that when playing against all teams they manage to lose points, in their last friendly games torino did well, while verona had a draw and defeat, i know that friendly games should not be taken too seriously, but in this case it helps to have more or less an idea about any change between these two teams
Perhaps Inter Milan - Napoli is the most important game of the season where the championship will be decided. There's quite a lot at stake. If Napoli wins, the backlog is almost impossible to make up for. But Inter can also win this match and then the differences will become smaller and Inter can slowly start working on catching up. And teams like AC Milan will also hope that Inter will win this match. But you have not suffered a single defeat in the league, you hardly see that in any competition if you take the rankings into account when you enter the winter break.
I think, Napoli are in a good position to win this match because they have showcased some skills that made them to achieved 41 points from their last matches that made their rank higher than inter Milan in this season. Inter Milan are among the strong teams in this season but it will be difficult for them to stop Napoli not to improve higher in this match, because Napoli strikers are doing well before FIFA world cup competition. I believe, Napoli will defeat Inter Milan 2-1 to improve their points and to maintain the first position to make their fans have hope of winning this Italian league title.
Inter Milan - Napoli isn't the most important game of the season but an important game of the week because both teams have a good form but Napoli has a better form than Inter. But this is a game where anything can happen and i don't expect a draw in this match one side must win and both sides will score. If Napoli defeats inter their position will stand more secure for them with higher chance of winning the title.
Like you said anything can happen. You know inter is not a weak team . Inter Milan is capable of playing Napoli a game of draw, if Napoli has being doing well. Who knows if Napoli can still maintain it good performance now the league have resume back. The results of the game is unpredictable.
the bookmakers are favoring inter because napoli in these last friendly games lost with some teams like villareal, LOSC and it wasn't just a defeat, napoli conceded a lot of goals, in just 2 games napoli conceded 7 goals, and that's not it's good since napoli had a good defense, of course they are friendly games so it could be that the napoli coach didn't take these games seriously, but the bookmakers are taking that into account because inter did well in the friendly games , inter did not lose in any friendly matches and managed to score many goals in these friendly matches, definitely in the case of inter it is something that should be taken into account
