I think if this season Napoli or Atalanta win the title, it will be the case like when Leicester got the EPL title at that time where the big teams were having problems. At this moment the top teams in Serie A or teams that usually win titles are in a phase where it is difficult for them to get their best form, then it is very possible that these teams will be able to maintain their performance this season whether it's Napoli or Atalanta. It's hard to predict what will happen for sure in the future, unless top teams like Juventus and Inter can get back to their best before this half of the season. Then at least they still have a chance to get the title again this season but if not, then we will get a new team to win the Serie A title this season.

It is hard for every team to maintain a good form from beginning to end of a season.

However you should be clear about your definition for good form, what is good form? What is good ending for them? Top four or Scudetto? I believe Atalanta and Napoli have chances to complete in top four but if it is Scudetto, I am not sure. It is too soon to say about Scudetto.

On the table, differences in points amongst teams are not too big and everything can be changed very considerably after two or three match days.

This defeat raises a risk of sack for Max. He must improve Juventus soon if he want to secure his job.

I think when talking about big clubs selling some of their players maybe it can be a good consideration to make the efficiency of the players and cut the monthly salary that the management has to pay, as Barcelona did some time ago and now they are back up and being strong.

selling players doesn't seem like a good solution to me
decrease the squad available and then in the cup how do you do it?
no the right solution is to try to do the best possible with what you have
there are no other solutions unfortunately

That's why juventus was looking for an alternative way for that to replace allegri once this coach will be sacked by the club. I have seen that some rumours about juventus think for twice before it will be sacking allegri caused by due to the financial problem and then juventus would not able to sign a new coach for the club. Remember some players from juventos already offered by another big team like chelsea or MU but they didn't wanna go to those clubs due to the some reasons.
In my opinion if that would be good if juventus try to sell some players that didn't contribute a lot.

When they have games with these teams, the mood will be appropriate. Look how Juventus played with PSG, even though they lost, but the game was decent. Perhaps there was an underestimation of the opponent from Monza, although the team already has enough problems. As for Napoli, they also started very well last season and stayed at the top of the standings almost until the end of the season, and then they just deflated. Something similar happened with Atalanta. Now it sounds unrealistic, but I think that when all the injured players can play, then Juventus will be a formidable opponent. In Serie A again nothing is clear and that's probably a good thing.

Looking at the performance of Atalanta and Napoli so far this season, I think there is an improvement in the teams especially team Napoli.
Personally, I think the two teams can go far may be one of team winning the league if they should maintain form and consistency because they may not be gappingg the other big teams with much points but the teams are not in good shape to fight for the league now so if a team like Inter Milan can be defeated 3:1 by Udinese and Juventus defeated by Monza that has not recorded a win since the beginning of the season, I wonder what will happen if they face Atalanta and Napoli that is the most informed team in SerieA now. I think so far the league will either be for Napoli or Atalanta.

Atalanta and Napoli had a good trend at the start of the season but I don't think these two teams will be able to maintain their form until the end of the season. up to the 7th game of the season the mid-table teams last season were able to take over the top spot this season like udinese and atalanta but seeing the points gap between the leaders and the teams ranked below them is not too far so I sure there will be a fierce competition when they  have to meet in the upcoming match. Juventus were shocked by the defeat of from AC Monza in the previous week this was a bad blow for Allegri.

I don't know from what side you said Conte and Gasperini much better than Allegri because of we see from trophies achievement on 2014 until 2019 Allegri can bringing Juventus to dominated Serie A with get the champion 5 times streak and that's why the management giving him long duration contract because they believe Allegri can success on Juventus again but unfortunately after he return to Juventus last season Allegri seems cannot makes Juventus to compete for race title and failed but regarding this news Conte seems had good chances return to Italy and train Juventus because until now Tottenham hasn't renew his contract yet

I also expect Roma to win this match. Roma has a good squad this season. Players are able to perform well enough. The squad players are performing well. They have some talented players in their squad. However, AS Roma's main weakness is their inability to maintain consistency in performance. But the match will definitely be competitive. However, it is essential for both teams to get full points in this match. Both the teams will play for the win in this match.

Napoli was top of the table for a long time last season. But they lost consistency of performance in the middle of the season. As a result, they lost the top spot in the points table. Napoli needs to learn from last season's mistakes. If they want to win the title, they will have to perform consistently well. Otherwise, they won't be able to occupy the top spot in the table this season. Several teams are fighting for the title this time around and almost every team has a strong squad.

Juventus could sack Allegri at any time? I do not think so. Judging from their finances, which always suffer losses every year and this season is the biggest season in terms of losses, it is clear that there is nothing that they should be able to decide quickly because of course there must be some considerations first seeing their financial condition is not good just.
With conditions like this, paying compensation is something that must be difficult until they have not yet brought in a new coach with a new contract which will make their finances even more drained at this time.

I totally agree with you. Juventus is not aiming for the Scudetto, I think the whole problem is economic. The years of the pandemic have truly devastated the budgets of the big teams.
It is no coincidence that the (failed) Super League solution was studied.

that's better than still let juventus to face another lose. Juventus can fire allegri anytime but the problem is whether conte wants move to the juventurs and leave from totenham. Juventus is still in a very difficult situation for now. There was another choice to take a new coach from its junior club. this may work as a replacement for allegri to make juventus to have better performance. Juventus gives 1 more match for allegri to proves if he is still reliable to be a coach for juventus.
I think that juventus doesn't need to give a long time for him to prove it

I don't think Juventus are strong enough to fight for the title. Because their squad is not stable. Attacks are not strong. Napoli and Udinese managed to score 15 goals in 7 matches, while Juventus scored only 9 goals in 7 matches. If the attack is not strong, winning the title is impossible. I would say Allegri's only goal should be to qualify for the Champions League. and coordinate among team players. The stronger the bonding between the players, the better their performance.

although as a fan I would really be happy if they hired another coach, the reality shows that this will not happen anytime soon, on the contrary what I see is that the coach will remain the cleaning agent in the team which will consist of bringing in young players and removing the players old ones and then they will reduce costs, that is, they will remove the players who earn more money. I heard this on a news channel, and if I go along that line then Juventus will not spend money on hiring another coach, unfortunately we are lost and I don't see anything big this season.

Indeed. Conte and Gasperini seem much better than Allegri. If they can replace Allegri, Juventus may have a chance to improve its position in Serie A standings. But, I don't think it will be easy to sign them and fire Allegri. Juventus seems still consider to keeping Allegri although it may result in a worse situation for Juventus performance. I know that Juventus is in a financial crisis, seems difficult to sign a new coach, especially a top coach. I suspect Juventus will give more chances to Allegri, probably until the first half of the season is over.

League is getting a bit to a confusing level if you ask me, I can see like maybe 5 teams at the top by the end of the season, it's not like that exactly for now, but it looks like it could get there at least and that's a bit scary if you ask me.

In the long run, Inter and Milan look like they are by far the superior ones to other ones, but it's certainly something that I would not be sure about, they are still not at ease, other teams like Juventus, Roma etc are still coming for that title and would be very hard to stop them if they get on a roll. Roma's game against the big club would certainly make a big difference, it would allow us to see the situation.

Serie A is about to enter its 8th round and one of the most awaited matches is the Inter vs Roma match. Because both teams need a win to be
able to move up to a higher position or to get closer to the points that Napoli have. Which is now Napoli are in the top position, whether Inter or
Roma this season are indeed ambitious to win the Serie A trophy. But looking at the head to head of both teams  it's like you said Inter are better,
so Inter should be the favorite to win the match, moreover the match will be played at Inter's home. Inter players should be more motivated to win
in front of their own supporters. The problem is Inter have played inconsistently this season, Inter in 7 matches in Serie A have lost 3 times.
It's a bad result for a team as big as Inter, so Inter do have to beat Roma.

Likewise Roma will want to stop the bad record against Inter, Roma will try to win. But as we know Mourinho always uses a defensive strategy
when facing strong teams, Roma will take advantage of a quick counter-attack against Inter. Then for Inter for sure they will play attacking,
but Inter also have to be careful when facing Roma. My prediction is Inter will dominate the match, but Inter's performance has decreased
this season, it looks like the match will end in a draw.

Conceding 11 goals in 7 games is proof that Inter's defense is not good but I don't think they are too weak to be expected to concede a lot of goals in one game. Prestige and rivalry will keep many players highly motivated to play better, but when it comes to luck then I can only think that whichever team is able to maximize their chances will win.

Inter and Roma both need points, so this is sure to be the most exciting game to look forward to early next week. In my opinion, both teams have equal chances, but Roma will be a bit of an favorite because they are playing in front of their fans.
