Napoli have found their identity this season, the players are starting to find their sharpness again this season and that is all a step forward for them to win the scudetto again. Beating AC Milan is certainly a tough job but Napoli managed to do it, of course it is the most important victory for them to focus on their target this season. Looking at their match records so far of course Napoli have faced two big teams, namely Juventus and AC Milan.

With that I quite believe that Napoli is not a weak team like last season but they have risen from their slump. Conte has managed to do a good job because it is not easy to reverse a bad trend to be better in a short time but Conte managed to do it. Trust in Lukaku is quite big this season but it has paid off quickly because Lukaku has performed well and often helped the team win. Napoli now sit safely at the top of the standings and they must be able to maintain it from the pressure of Juventus, Inter Milan and Atalanta.

Becoming the champions could be something they could reach out and I am guessing they are looking for a potential of something like that. I am not saying it won't happen, but they have a long road ahead of them and anything could happen during this period as well. What I believe we need to consider right now would be just focusing on how consistent they are. They are not just good against weak teams, as we have seen they are good against Milan, so that means the yare looking good against stronger teams as well. This is why I believe if they win the league this year, they will win because of this, the hard games part.

Everyone can win against weaker teams, it would be a shock when you don't, but if you win against stronger teams, that would be great and that's what makes you the winner. I am pretty sure this is going to face a lot of trouble for a lot of people but then I am guessing we are going to see this growing a lot more worse and could have different results.

Juventus seemed to have more attacking dominance over Parma in the period remaining. They long continued the severe pressure on the defense of Parma with diverse efforts. Unfortunately, from the dozens of shots launched, just a few of them were on target. It was still 2-2, a challenge for Juventus to make better opportunities count for goals.

Juventus has to maximize every opportunity and convert them into goals if they want to win full points in this match. Playing in front of their supporters should also give them extra encouragement. It would be a shame if this attack dominance was not balanced with profitable results. Juventus has to build a sharper and more efficient attack to break the deadlock, ensuring victory at home.

When I checked the score of the Juventus vs Parma match which is currently taking place, it seems that Juventus have managed to equalize the score at 2-2 thanks to a goal scored by Timothy Weah in the 50th minute. Well, with this, Juventus seems to have the opportunity to turn things around so that the advantage is on their side. . And it is only natural for Juventus to win this match because they are currently playing in front of their own supporters. And it would be very sad if Juventus did not succeed in winning today's match.

Will Juventus lose today against a team like Parma? This is very sad for Juventus fans. However, at the end of the first half, the Juventus team is trailing 2-1. Even though it's Juventus' home match, we don't see a better performance from Juventus.

We have seen poor performances from Juventus this season. However, Juventus are yet to lose any match. If Juventus lose against Parma today, it will be Juventus' first defeat of the season. We have seen poor performances from Juventus attacking players in most of the matches. However, we have seen Juventus defenders perform well. But today against Parma, Juventus defenders can't play well. As a result, Juventus conceded two goals in the first half. As the performance of Juventus' forward players is not good, it is likely that Juventus will lose this match 2-1.

But it seemed like everything really changed in the match in the second half. Because in the first half the score ended at 1-2, but then Udinese lost one player due to a red card received by Isaak Toure in the 53rd minute. This brought luck to Venezia who were finally able to take advantage of their superior number of players and score a goal in the 56th minute. And then Venezia got lucky again in the 86th minute because they got a penalty kick and managed to use it to score a goal. So the match ended with a score of 3-2. Venezia unexpectedly managed to beat Udinese. I never expected a team that was struggling in the relegation zone to win this match. And the key was because Udinese played with 10 players in the second half. 

Are you happy with Inter Milan's performance? I can't be happy with Inter Milan's performance this season. Inter Milan's performances have been erratic this season. And without consistency in performance, Inter Milan will fail to win the Serie A title this season. Napoli's overall performance is stronger and more consistent than Inter Milan's. Inter Milan is still 4 points behind Napoli.

There is no doubt that the Inter Milan team performed well against Empoli in the last match. But Empoli was not a strong opponent. If Inter Milan wants to win the Serie A title, they must play well and win against the big teams. Unless Inter Milan's performance improves, we will only see Napoli dominate this season.

Inter has been performing very strongly this season. Today they managed to beat Empoli with a score of 3-0. Simone Inzaghi preferred the dominant game as he usually does. Empoli tried to settle for counter attacks but Inter's pressure was intense. Although Inzaghi wanted to break the match early, the goals came in the second half. Anyway, it was an important victory for the championship and three points were earned.

Sometimes it looks like Inter Milan are playing with fire, the first half of the encounter against Empoli was suppose to be an easy one for the champions but they had to wait till the second half, which if it was last season the pressure they would have poured on the home team would have been much but Inter are slowly dropping that force and aggression. At first the both teams was playing like they have same strength but after the red card I was expecting Inter to rush these guys but they started playing as if they're looking down on the Empoli. Inter won the game but I expected more from them and all they did in the second half was suppose to be done x2 in the first half, I wish they have a stronger opponent let me see how relax they'll be when it's time.

Definitely, they are definitely doing amazing with Conte and they are getting the success they are looking for. I thought they would be very bad when they had Osimhen problems, I mean they looked like they were keeping a player against his wishes and nobody paid him the amount they wanted, and then they are looking for lesser than what people even wanted beforehand, they were willing to pay 100 and they still didn't sell and yet now he has 75 release clause.

When you combine all of this together, I assumed that Napoli would do badly and they were managed poorly. But now, I am looking at the results and I can say that they are doing very well and have no issues, definitely looks like something we can consider very good and we should be happy for them that it worked out.

Having another team doing great is always good for a league, if the league was stuck between Inter, Milan, Juventus trio then it would be boring, now we have Napoli too again. They won the league recently and they are showing they have what it takes to win it again as well, so it shouldn't really be a problem for them and I believe they are going to do very well when the time comes, should be proud to have this.

Conte truly deserve some accolades for a job well done. The season might still be long to finish but we can say that Napoli have done very well especially when everyone was expecting them to struggle after Osimhen left the team. For Conte to reform the team and put them in winning ways and high spirit. We can see the result of that effort in the consistency of Napoli as they cruise to the trophy this season. Other things being equal, they will finish the season strong.

It's 3-0 currently with Fratessi scoring the fisrt and second goal in grand style. goals. Martinez scored the thirdgoal on the 79th minutes of the match. The second is some how easy for Inter, because they are dominating the game and taking advantage of one man down in Empoli to create good chances for goals to pump into the net. Empoli lost their pace in the second half, and was unable to defend as they did in the first half.

The match is currently at second half, and the match is coming to an end. Inter Milan has managed to score, and the current score is 0-1. Even with Empoli down to 10 men, Inter Milan is finding it difficult to score. They’re not playing up to my expectations. How is it that Inter Milan is struggling to score multiple goals against Empoli with a red card? From the way I'm watching this game, it doesn’t seem like they’ll score more than the single goal they already have, which I’d say is a poor performance from Inter Milan. With the current result,if Empoli hadn’t received a red card, Inter might not have been able to score at all. Even from the start of this season, Inter’s performance hasn’t been as impressive as it was last season.

So far so good the second half of the match has already begin and from the results given, both the teams are leading the match by 2-2, the first half of the match was ended in the 2-1 but with the much effort of Venezia they try equalize back after came back to second; and the way Venezia performance is going correctly now I’m still expecting more goals from them again because they’ve changed patterns of their playing after back to the second half.

To be honest I don’t expect that this match can come in this way, because although that Venezia performance is not that strong that Udinese are more strong then them which I also believe: Because even if we look their possessions Udinese was leading Venezia by goals and possessions, but I have believed now that the game is not by possession.

It's truly annoying that Inter couldn't take advantage of Empoli's one man absence and get at least two goals in the first half. It's as if they just want to drag the whole thing, feeling like because there's still time they can get something. This was how bad they played in the champions league and if care's not taken, there may not be many goals because Empoli will want to defend more to see if they can get a point even with ten men.
 

Exactly, I was thinking that too, exactly the same words
He truly got a team back on track in just four months!

And the team hasn't changed, it's still the same one that won the championship and the following year with Rudi Garcia sank into the abyss.
This thing really drive me crazy.

Atalanta vs Monza

Atalanta (predicted lineup): Marco Carnesecchi, Berat Djimsiti, Isak Hien, Sead Kolasinac, Raoul Bellanova, Ederson, Marten de Roon, Matteo Ruggeri, Lazar Samardzic, Ademola Lookman, Mateo Retegui.

Monza (predicted lineup): Stefano Turati, Armando Izzo, Pablo Mari, Andrea Carboni, Pedro Pereira, Giorgos Kyriakopoulos, Alessandro Bianco, Matteo Pessina, Gianluca Caprari, Dany Mota, Milan Djuric.

Atalanta started the season with a very good motive but along the line they tend to reduced in speed but I will say maybe because of many engagement in other competitions, currently they are laying in 5th place with a 16 points, tonight they will be hosting Monza who are currently in 16th place in table with 8 points, Monza head to head against Juventus in their last five matches Monza happened to secured a win and faced four consecutive defeat with 12 conceded goals in all four matches, sometime football change but I don't expect that here.

Juventus vs Parma
Juventus (predicted lineup): Michele Di Gregorio, Andrea Cambiaso, Federico Gatti, Danilo, Juan Cabal, Manuel Locatelli, Chico Conceicao, Khephren Thuram-Ulien, Weston McKennie, Timothy Weah, Dusan Vlahovic.

Parma (predicted lineup): Zion Suzuki, Woyo Coulibaly, Enrico Del Prato, Botond Balogh, Emanuele Valeri, Mandela Keita, Simon Sohm, Dennis Man, Adrian Bernabe, Valentin Mihaila, Ange-Yoan Bonny.

Parma are seriously facing setback with their performance and tonight their go one against Juventus in an away match, since the starting of the season they only recorded a win against AC Milan which everyone thought the are back to secure position for themself but after losing two consecutive game then people tend to give up but up till now they couldn't prove anyone wrong about their performance, they continue to decline day by day, I hope they woke up in time. Juventus are also struggling too but for the title race, currently they are in third place while inter Milan are second and they have a point different but it will be very difficult for Juventus to overtake due to inter Milan performance.

It was a difficult first half for Inter to find the back of the net despite Empoli having one man down on the 38th minutes of the game. S. Goglichidze was given a red card, and I thought it'd be a good opportunity for Inter to find the back of the net easily, but I was wrong. Inter played all their best but Empoli sealed up their defense making it a big problem for Inter to pass through for a goal. I hope that Inter will improve their attack, and become more aggressive in the second half, if they want to get full three points, otherwise, this match might end in a draw. Napoli have won their own match yesterday leading with seven points, it will be better for Inter to win this match to close the point gap.

This match has begun and the first half will end, although the two teams have not scored goals but Inter Milan chances of winning greater after Empoli played with 10 players because of the red card. Indeed, Inter Milan's game was not impressive throughout the first half and they only have 1 shot on goal of course this is not something we expect when they are eyeing full points, yeah we can still hope in the second half and there should be no reason to miss the opportunity against 10 players.

About the match between Juventus vs Parma in general we can predict who will win, Juventus as a home team certainly has a greater chance and so far Parma hasn't played optimally even they were trapped around the relegation zone. We know sometimes Parma is unpredictable and most of their matches have a draw it's just that I'm not sure Juventus let other teams take over their position in the standings.

Serie A is ongoing this mid week, dont' forget about it.
2 games are on set right now.

Almost 1st half done and we have Inter 0-0 with Empoli.
Empoli is quite a good defensive team when they play at home. Inter can win for sure but it will be not easy to score the 1st goal.

Venezia Udinese 1-2
Udinese great improvemtn from the past years, with this pace they can end in Eurocup positions.
