The results of this round may have created major headaches for some coaches. For example:
Verona 3 - 2 Roma
I honestly see that Roma is on its way to competing with the teams in the relegation zone. Roma has only won 1 of its last 5 games. I wonder what the club's management is thinking at this moment to change this very bad scenario, because it is clear that Roma cannot compete with the top teams and is now having difficulty beating weak teams.
Napoli 0 - 3 Atalanta
Well, I confess that I am very surprised by Atalanta's performance. They are managing to fight for the title and if they continue like this, they could even become champions if Napoli and Inter make mistakes in the next games. The Napoli coach must be having headaches with this bad result. They didn't score a single goal and lost in a humiliating way and now Inter are only 1 point behind Napoli

After watching Napoli's last weekend convincing away win against AC Milan, I told a friend that watched the game with me that though Napoli was four points clear at the top of the table but the Italian Serie is far from being decided and just after one week after I said that, Napoli are now just one point ahead of second placed Inter Milan. Atalanta today pulled a very surprising and extremely impressive performance against the league leaders to stun them in their own home ground with a 0:3 away win. Now, the difference between 1st placed Napoli and third placed Atalanta is now just two points. I think the Italian Serie A this season will be more competitive than it's been in recent years.
Yeah the match in Serie A is really difficult to predict obviously no one thinks Napoli will be defeated at home because we know that Napoli have been very consistent so far with several consecutive wins including at home and away but unfortunately Atalanta stopped that good record. Now the competition in Serie A is getting fierce and only 1-3 points adrift this means that the hunt continues, previously I placed the bet on Both Teams to Score in this match unfortunately Napoli did not do it.
After a run of poor results in the league, Juventus away win against Udinese I think will go a long way in helping them get back to their best one more time. Thiago Motta started this season on a very impressive form with his Juventus side but just like you said, their results lately have been disappointing and unexpected of a team that's managed by the young Italian manager. There's still time for Juventus to fight for the Italian Serie A title this season but they'll have to be more consistent than the rest of the other teams in the league to catch up with league leaders first before they can start talking about winning the league.
And now it's just a matter of whether they can be that consistent to be able to win the match, so they can accumulate 3 points per 3 points in each match. because if there are more draws, then the less chance they have to be able to return to the top race of the Serie A trophy. And this must be considered again by Motta for his squad in the future, so that they can score more goals in each match.Napoli suffered their 2nd defeat in a good season.It is not a good result for Napoli who lost 3-0 at home against Atalanta.I did not expect this match to end like this when Napoli were in such good form and despite the fact that they were the hosts of the match.
And what's interesting is that their competition is actually very tight, quite balanced if you look at how each club carries the ball and also dominates the match, they are quite balanced. if you look at the number of shots, it's almost even. It's just that, what's cool about Atalanta is, they can really optimize 3 shots on target and all three of them become goals, while Napoli is the opposite, none of them go into goals at all.

A very surprising result, I did not expect Atalanta to come to the Armando Maradona stadium to slaughter Napoli 3-0. It seems that many bettors suffered losses in this match, where before the match many parties saw Napoli chances of securing full points higher. Conte admitted that Gasperini team played more effectively, Ademola Lookman and Mateo Retegui managed to embarrass Napoli today.
On the other hand, Inter Milan seems to be able to secure full points when facing Venezia, it was a relatively easy match, we can clearly see the gap in strength between the two teams at this time. If the match ends as predicted, Simone Inzaghi squad is only 1 point behind Napoli. I think it will be very interesting, because Napoli will face Inter Milan in the 12th week later, we will see who deserves to sit at the top of the points table.

Napoli second loss of the season is seriously a huge setback for them, in this match against Atlanta I expected them to actually be more offensive but they should get exposed at the back, the Atalanta team weren’t great like that when the season started but they were on a 5 match winning streak before the game against Napoli as such I knew it will be a great game ahead, Atlanta are a team that loves to sit back and counter the players and that’s one thing that I think Napoli forget was go going happen. And they sticked to the high line formation and they hit to beat Napoli,
Now Napoli is just a point ahead of Inter Milan as they both go head to head next weekend at the San Siro stadium with the likes of Fiorentina and Atlanta just three points behind Napoli I think that both teams must avoid defeat to keep them locked in on the title
Unfortunately, the golden opportunity that Napoli should have been able to take full advantage of to stay longer at the top of the standings, they were unable to do. With Napoli's defeat yesterday, for the time being we will be shown that the competition for the Serie A trophy is getting tighter.
And it must be admitted that Atalanta's performance is very impressive, especially Ademola Lookman who is getting sharper in attack in every match, it seems that many big clubs will be interested in him.
Regarding Inter Milan vs Venice, I will not consider the match easy, Inter must play seriously even though their opponent is weak because it is possible that Venice will play well because in their last match they beat Udinese.
As for Inter Milan, twice they have displayed a poor performance. On a normal day, they should have torn Venezia apart but I saw them struggling tonight and even though you'd say they are saving their best performance for champions league game against Arsenal, it's still no excuse as to why you can't deliver against a weak side like Venezia.
I mean, if not for Marin Sverko's goal that was cancelled after a VAR review, the hosts would have gone on to draw the game! I think Inzaghi's men have to do better this season and show not just fans but their other competition why they were able to win the league last season and strive to do it again so they won't like a one- season wonder.
Napoli suffered their 2nd defeat in a good season.It is not a good result for Napoli who lost 3-0 at home against Atalanta.I did not expect this match to end like this when Napoli were in such good form and despite the fact that they were the hosts of the match.If Napoli had won this match, the difference would have widened and they could have taken the psychological advantage, but they failed to do so.
Torino, on the other hand, lost to Fiorentina at home.Fiorentina is one of the teams that continue the season in a good way.They have only 1 defeat so far.In that defeat, we can say that they lost narrowly.

Personally I think nobody expected the is outcome of the match between Napoli and Atalanta to end in 0:3 defeat with Atalanta taking victory from away, their was no much difference in the performance of both teams in the match and both team shared same number of possession 50:5, goal attempt 3:3, but Atalanta open the goal scoring very early with the Nigerian striker Ademola Lookman scoring in the 10th and 31 minutes to set the away team ahead of Napoli.
Napoli is still on top of the league despite losing to Atalanta, they are 1 point ahead of Inter Milan who managed to win 1:0 against Venezia today and Atalanta and Fiorentina are 3rd and 4 4th in the table Fiorentina looks good this season they will be ahead of Atalanta if they drop any point.

Inter Milan vs Venezia
The Venezia team is very close to the relegation zone. And the defense of this team is very weak. So Inter Milan fans really expected that Inter Milan will win today's match by a big margin. But Inter Milan's players could not create many attacking opportunities. Inter Milan's gameplay in the first half was very boring.

At the moment the game is over, Inter can win but the margin is small, but the Inter team attacked a lot in this match. Most of the play in the first half was weak and the attacks were ordinary, but in the second half they managed to make a call. Inter team striker Lautaro Martinez scored a goal with the magic of his feet to ensure victory for Inter Milan team.
Although in this match the Inter team made a total of 20 attacks and seven attacks by the opposing team. So there is a big difference between these two teams, but the Inter Milan team's attacks were very weak due to which in the end they won by only one goal and collected three points to occupy the second place in the points table.
When Napoli lost 3-0 to Atalanta at home, I remembered Leverkusen, who had the same score. Leverkusen was also seen as the favorite in the Europa League final and they conceded 3 goals from Atalanta. Today, Napoli lost 3-0 at home, despite being the favorite. Atalanta is a team that carries big surprises and they played perhaps their best match of the season against Napoli.
Inter Milan vs Venezia
Inter Milan is not able to perform well against teams like Venezia today. I expected to see better gameplay from Inter Milan. As the match is Inter Milan's home match, I expected the Inter Milan team to dominate and win today. But in the first half we don't see good performance from Inter Milan players. Inter Milan may be able to score in the second half. But since Venezia was a weak team. So Inter Milan should have performed better.

Atalanta is really a very impressive team when it always manages to beat the leading teams since last season, although at the beginning of this season Atalanta did not start well but currently Atalanta is right below Napoli. Yes, Atalanta are currently in second place, although previously Atalanta were outside the top four. Well, Atalanta really continued to have good results after the defeat against Como, I personally did not expect Atalanta to be able to return to the top four so quickly.
What is even more impressive is, the way Atalanta returned to the top four was by beating Napoli with a very heavy score. Playing away really didn't make Atalanta play badly, and it was really very remarkable to beat Napoli with a big score of 0-3 because Napoli is clearly still in a very good trend at this moment, but Atalanta managed to destroy Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Juventus definitely needed this win, they are still not looking amazing, there are many teams that could get ahead of them, they need to do much better but a win is a win and they can't do better than that so they should be happy with what they got so far. Motta turned this team into some defensive good team but they are really having hard time on offense, only 7 goals on their goal this season, amazing situation without a doubt, nobody is even remotely close to them, but they have only 19 goals, which is the lowest among most teams around them.
The only one who is capable of doing this better is Napol, who conceded only 5 goals this season and only scored 18 goals as well, both lower than what Juventus has, but they are leading the league so Napoli could be considered not doing that bad at all. Juventus needs a bit more scoring if they want to finish higher. This was a simple game, Udinese isn't a tough team, so it was an easy win for them.

Napoli lost to Atalanta in today's match by a margin of 3–0 goals, where the two teams are currently in the first and second positions in the points table. We have seen that Napoli has played very well in Serie A this season and is in the top position of the points table, where teams like Juventus are currently facing a lot of competition. Although Napoli is currently in the first position of the points table, if they cannot win in the next matches, they will definitely be able to take their place. Fiorentina and Atalanta are equal in points in these two teams, so these two teams will compete a lot to get to the top position of the points table. Moreover, in Serie A this season, they will face a lot of competition, Inter, Juventus, Fiorentina and Atalanta are only a few points apart, so they still have the possibility of advancing to the title fight by the end of the season.
With the victory, Atalanta moved ahead of Juventus and Milan. Napoli is currently the team in first place, but Atalanta can easily beat them with a score of 3-0. Atalanta has no problems scoring goals anyway, their only problem is that they can sometimes make mistakes on the defensive side, today was not one of those days. Lookman scored the opening goal, then scored another goal, and Atalanta closed the first half 2-0 with Lookman goals. With a goal in the 90+3rd minute in the second half, Atalanta closed the match with a victory.
I do not get why they are showing Inter to be leading the odds, it's obvious that Napoli is looking much better and I couldn't find any place that gives that right now but if I see any place with 3.00+ odds for Napoli then I will certainly make some bets on that, looks like a bigger possibility for them to win without a doubt. In the end, we are going to see Napoli probably win this league, doesn't look like we are going to see much changes, and should be looking to get a win here.
Things aren't always that easy though, while Napoli does look like they are going to end up with a win this year and they may become champions, we still do not know what will actually happen, we are just making assumptions in this case. This is why it would make more sense if we could see Napoli win this season because they are ahead so much but they may lose anyways, it's just that odds of 3.00+ seems like it wouldn't be fair for how they have been doing so far.

Let's not forget that Inter are the team that won Serie A last season, and their strength should not be underestimated even if Napoli look superior this season. Indeed, Napoli have been playing superbly, and many have dubbed them the clear favourites for the title. However, the recent crushing defeat to Atalanta can be taken as a signal that there are still gaps that other teams including Inter can exploit.
The defeat should make us realise once again that in football, everything can change in a matter of weeks. Napoli may look more solid than ever, but Inter are an experienced side with fighting spirit and a winning mentality: they proved that last season. So, Napoli still have to prove that they can be consistent until the end, especially with the pressure coming from some of the other top teams.
Surprisingly, the current title odds are:
Inter - 1.90
Napoli - 3.25
Juventus - 7.50
Milan - 17.00
Inter won Serie A last season in dominant style, but still, to regard them as clear favourites in this situation is, in my opinion, wrong. Napoli clearly deserve better odds than 3.25, but for outright fans this is a great opportunity to secure a good odds. I wouldn't even be surprised if Napoli repeat their performance from the year before last, when they were close to 100% right up until the moment they won the title.

A bit disagree with you. Napoli's odds is already tempting enough. They're very consistent since the early season, despite a summer manager change. If they beat Atalanta, they will take three points. Then, they can beat Inter next week. They will have some serious scudetto and UCL hopes.
I'm sure their odds may be getting lower if they can take three points from the two important games.
Well, in general, at the time when I wrote this, I meant exactly that Napoli's quotes should already be less than 3. Now that they have suffered a heavy defeat against Atalanta and have a game against Inter ahead, the assessment already looks reasonable.
It might even be good that it was 0-3 and not 0-1 or 1-2. Sometimes it's good to stop the euphoria and come down to earth.

Atalanta is one of the challenges for Napoli who is trying to maintain the difference in points from Inter, the final result of this match is very difficult to guess because of the second performance that is neat. Napoli won in the last 6 games, while Atalanta came to Armando Maradona Stadium with 4 consecutive wins. Napoli's home record this season is very good, they always won victory, but Atalanta also won and 2x clean sheets in the last 4 away games. This match became the most productive team meeting with the team that conceded the least, Atalanta has packed 26 goals in 10 matches, while Napoli conceded 5 goals, a draw might be very fair for both teams.
I also think that a draw for both teams could happen today, but because Napoli will play at home in today's match, I am still more confident in Napoli's ability to win than Atalanta's ability to make Napoli lose at their own headquarters. Currently, Napoli is very aware of the gap in points they have with several other rivals in Serie A, so Napoli will continue to play as well as possible in order to get full points and create a bigger gap with Inter Milan even though they have to compete quite fiercely in today's match.Napoli 0-2 Atalanta
We expected that match will be 2-1 but that was 3-0. Napoli team need to note down their mistakes and emit them because these will destroy that team in future.Atalanta team players confidence was at top and I will give 80 percent credit of that match to Lookman because he applied pressure from start .
Your guess is correct. The Napoli team is in great form, but the Napoli team cannot take the advantage against Atalanta in today's home match. Napoli lost the home match 2-0. We all expected good gameplay from Napoli but Napoli did not do that well in today's match. Napoli players were able to make several strong attacks to score. But Atalanta's defense was very strong today.
Hien and Djimsiti played very well today. Ademola Lookman also scored two goals for Atalanta today. And both assists were made by Ketelaere. Atalanta's overall gameplay was very composed and they deserved the win.
Napoli were overwhelmed today by Atalanta who are in a different class far from Napoli and proved very difficult for the Napoli side to deal with in today's encounter. I think coach Gasperini has a great team and has successfully moulded Atalanta into a team that are capable of winning big matches especially against teams like Napoli, though Napoli were currently having a great season since the introduction of Antonio Conte as head coach but Atalanta were superb in today's match beating them thoroughly by 3-0 at the home ground of the Napoli side which is quite unusual but an important win for Atalanta who are currently in second place on the table. Hien and Djimsiti played very well today. Ademola Lookman also scored two goals for Atalanta today. And both assists were made by Ketelaere.
