Napoli will not repeat the mistakes of last season, they have learned a lot from failure by showing better performances this season. Napoli are still very consistent in Serie A, they will not waste the opportunity to win the Scudetto that has been a dream for a long time. This season is the best opportunity for Napoli when viewed from its performance, the match against Roma is a test that Napoli must pass. They must not drop points at the Olimpico if they want to continue to be at the top of the table.

Have important match at Champion League next few days later I sure with Juventus make some change with player composition tonight against Empoli, have some player rotation because winning from Benfica is most important if want have chance qualify to next round. Several players have rotation I think with Dušan Vlahović not in starting eleven depend Allegri need him keep fit at match Benfica.

Juventus keep favorite although still not guarantee will play regular player composition, I think home match still give advantage for Juventus and standings position Empoli have lower standings than Juventus. I think realistic for Juventus to win this match but under 2 goals, not bad for adding in parlay games for Juventus win.

Juventus are the favourites, I'm absolutely sure they will win today's match. There is no doubt about the potential for Juventus to lose in this match, but Juventus need to be aware of that possibility if they do not defend well during the match. Meanwhile, Juventus and Empoli both won their last matches, that might really motivate the players to continue their good form in this match. Juventus have a higher probability of winning than Empoli, so I don't think there's much risk for them today.

Juventus - Empoli is the opening match of the week. Unlike some people's expecting Allegri to make some rotation in the lineup I don't think so. Because there is no reason for Allegri to do this and take a big risk. Empoli are already an unpredictable team above all else. They won in Turin last season by 1-0. They wouldn't like to miss another chance against a rotated squad. Besides there are still four days to go for their Benfica match so they can play with their full lineup comfortably.

Juventus have a favourable odd like 1.42 to add to a multi parlay. I will be expecting a clear victory from them to boost the morale as much as possible before facing Benfica. Because that will be a much more critical match for Juventus and they had better be fully ready.

In addition, Pogba is expected to return not before Oct 27 according to Transfermarkt. So we might not see him against Empoli and Benfica both.

If Mourinho and Roma can play a strict match and reduce the space to play for Napoli, they can create disappointment on the opponent. After that, they can expect mistakes from Napoli and might have chance to punish Napoli.

Although it sounds like a very good plan, Roma must keep their goal clean first in the meantime of waiting for mistakes from Napoli. Honestly it is not easy for Roma if we take into consideration a very goal productive performance of Napoli. They don't rely on a single player to score goals in this season and it increases challenge for Roma to constrain Napoli in the match.

Think positively about Roma and Mourinho, they scored too little goals but won enough to be in top four. It verifies the quality of their defense and it can be a good foundation for them to beat Napoli.

Napoli's results from several games this season are still quite consistent, they are unbeaten in Serie A, but I have high hopes for Jose Mourinho's decision in this match, even though the chances for AS Roma are very small, but at least Mourinho's experience can help them in overcome these difficulties, so that AS Roma is not considered a weak club this season.
Even though Napoli are very superior in terms of quality, I'm sure they will play hard in this game and Mourinho will not let them play easy.

Yeah right, I also wouldn't be surprised if Empoli can hold Juventus to a draw or maybe get full points. But even so I will still put my confidence in Juventus because after all Juventus must get up soon, because if in this match they still can't win the match. Of course, Juventus should have taken a firm stance to find a new coach, because the big question is that they still look fine with a situation like this that has been ruined in all competitions.

By the way, Empoli do get points more often when they play away, but that is a draw and not about an away win. Because Empoli have so far only won once while playing away, while Juventus have yet to get a defeat at home.

At least so far and for the next few matches Napoli will still be safe to maintain player stability, because Napoli have also been confirmed to qualify for the last 16 in the Champions League. Therefore, Napoli can focus more on Serie A because Napoli will just play against Atalanta at the beginning of the 11th month after they play against Liverpool. At least it will be a decisive match if the two teams still haven't lost until that matchday, the competition in the race for the Serie A title this season is not about the usual teams like Milan, Inter and Juventus. This season will be different if this rivalry between Napoli and Atalanta can continue until the end of the season or at least, we can see their rivalry before the International break and also the half of the season. If they are still consistent, then of course their rivalry will continue after the break and until the end of the season.

Napoli's performance was good, but in the end they always couldn't win the title. I don't know what will happen this season for Napoli, but they are on a good track at the moment with 8 wins and 2 draws in 10 match. If Napoli are able to maintain a consistent performance and win, then maybe they will lead the standings longer than expected.

Until the 10th week, the distance between competitors in the top 4 is not much. This means that Napoli are still likely to be thrown into the bottom position if they lose in the next few match. And I think Roma will be a strong opponent this week for Napoli.

The inconsistency of AC Milan still does not affect them too much but they must be more careful because in the season, there are more competitors than the past one. In the last season, AC Milan most competed the Scudetto with Inter Milan but we already see in this season, there are Napoli, Atalanta, Roma and even Lazio are ready to create more difficulties for AC Milan to protect their Scudetto.

Not all of those clubs will be able to continue their good form and some of them will fall behind in the competition. However, when they have good form, they can beat or make AC Milan and other competitors lose points. They will contribute and make a competition becomes more interesting and more unpredictable in general.

Atalanta will be like Napoli and they both must maintain their performance after the World Cup. That will be an important period for them, whether their clubs will have injuries from the World Cup matches, whether their players will be able to play well after that tournament.

What clubs can play well one month after the World Cup will have big advantage to break out in the competition and increase chance to win it.

AC Milan has also not been completely consistent this season and even AC Milan's achievements themselves are still slightly inferior to Atalanta when compared to this season after ten games. Atalanta still haven't lost this season, neither have Napoli and I think these three teams will make the Scudetto trophy even hotter. Especially considering that the three points are not that far away and if Napoli or Atalanta get a draw in the next match, then the position will change if AC Milan is able to win again in the next match.

No, it looks like we still have to wait about Chiesa because Allegri's decision is still the same as letting Chiesa appear in the juniors before returning to play at Juventus seniors.

This is obviously very unfortunate even though I personally have been waiting for this player for a long time to play again but the coach's decision seems difficult for me to accept now.

I know the ACL injury seems to be the reason but with Juventus' performance now actually bringing Chiesa directly at Senior is definitely better.

In Juventus vs Empoli, the hosts are of course the favorite, although I would not rule out a surprise in this match. Juventus is playing quite unpredictably and alternating good matches with very bad ones. Empoli similarly, but interestingly more points Empoli got in away matches, in which they have lost only one match so far. I will not be surprised if Empoli will get some points today.

Pogba is back from injury but Cheisa returned earlier and is expected to feature against Empoli. Pogba might not join the line up against Empoli but has resumed training with the squad. We will expect to see Pogba again in action in the champions league clash against Benfica but if not so then in October 29th against Lecce. But for Cheisa if he misses to play against Empoli then he will have to be in the starting ix against Benfica

The consideration is whether they are really ready, considering as previously reported, both of them were injured some time ago, especially Pogba, I heard he had a pretty serious injury. It would be more effective to save both of them for the next important match, is the Juventus vs Empoli match today important enough?
Massimiliano Allegri must consider Pogba carefully because he is the hope for Juventus' future change, Allegri's decision will have quite an impact on Juventus

Yep. Football in this era is not purely a sport, Clubs not only compete to be the best but also become profitable business entities.
The football business is not ordinary business. Achievement, business, and entertainment must be aligned to generate profits for the club.
Even in the transfer of players, sometimes there is interference from sponsors.

So welcome to the modern era of Football

You see what I always say, the problem is purely economic. With a small squad you have to be lucky that no one gets hurt and that they don't get too tired.
When you have to play at a high level both in the league and in the cups, or you have a good turnover or you are doomed.
See the example of my beloved Atalanta, the year of the cup has broken out.

Both of teams in the positive results after get wins from their previous matches so this is interesting match to watched but last season Empoli has successfully beat Juventus at their home ground so this proven Empoli is the team who can surprised Juventus and this season Empoli has a habit they were very effective for using counter attack style and from this strategies Empoli has wins the matches several times so Juventus should be careful with Empoli strategy
It is not wise for Allegri to using his second players composition or reserved players in this match because Juventus has losing so many points from their previous matches so if they want reach to top 4 on standings league Allegri should be used his best starting lineup for each matches

Napoli has tried many seasons in the past, but just that luck is not on their side, especially when Juventus was very hot and its players playing very good. During those seasons, Napoli did play good and being on the first position, but Juventus later would win the league title. At least if not happen often, I have known like two seasons like that. It would be good if Napoli can start good and maintain it, this season has be started good, I believe Atlanta can not maintain continues perfect performance too, although it is still too young for us to predict what this season will end up being.

Last season they may have dropped some important points that made them finish third, seven points behind Ac Milan that won the Scudetto, i feel that wouldn't happen to them this season, they are stronger than they were last season and playing with more confidence, both in the seria a and in their champions league group, i feel this season is theirs. They usually come close until the last few weeks, but with the confidence they are playing with now, i feel they are ready to be the third Scudetto champion in the third season in a row, that will be great for the Italian league, and it will make the league the most competitive in Europe.

This was same performance Napoli put out last season did they win the tittle
They usually starts dropping off those important points last season once it's a new year
If they maintain same consistency then they can win the tittle
