Napoli defeated Milan at San Siro last night, extending their lead over Inter to 7 points. Since Conte took charge, he has quickly turned Napoli back into a title-contending team. After Osimhen’s departure, I never would have expected Napoli to be at the top.

In the match of Venezia vs Udinese team in Italian League, Udinese team is leading by 2 goals so far. The players of Venezia team have not scored any goals yet. It seems that Venezia team will not be able to score any goals in this match. The player of Udinese team is S. Lovric.  1st goal in 19 minutes and I. Bravo scored 2nd goal in 25 minutes. Udinese team is in 3rd place in the points table.

Sadly we forget the impact of a player easily because the club is doing well without him. Last season Napoli had so many problems with coaches and it greatly affected the performance of the players. Last two seasons Victor Osimhen was the highest goal scorer in the Seria A and he contributed greatly to the club which made them win the Ligue title. His relationship with the club became strained when he was mocked for missing a penalty and he decided to leave.

No doubt Lukaku is doing a good job in Napoli but insinuating that Osimhen wouldn't have done better is not right. In just six games the Nigerian striker has scored four goals and given four assists in his first season in the Turkish League. Antonio Conte simply chose Lukaku and I don't think he is wrong but I know that the Nigerian would have done better.

Conte is not the kind of coach who tolerates capricious players like osimhen and after his unwillingness to play at napoli and move somewhere else it became clear that Osimhen's career at Napoli is over and now without him Napoli is even stronger.
Lukaku is really show good play with coaches that believe in him, it was like that with Mourinho, it was like that with Conte.
Lukaku has already scored 4 goals in 8 games, which is not bad and if he keeps on scoring at the same rate, he can score more than last season when he managed to score 13 goals for Roma last season.

 To be honest, Inter haven't had that start to the season that everyone expected being that they won the league title last season but I believe that won't stop them from taking all three points from Empoli.
 Empoli in their last five games have just had one win and since they play hosts to Inter, maybe they can salvage themselves by getting goals or they could settle for another draw like they did to Parma.

 The game I'm more interested in is the Juventus vs Parma game though because the Old Lady have not recorded any loss since the beginning of the season and who knows if this will be the game to take their unbeaten record from them.

Here's mine



I am confident Inter Milan and Juventus will win. They played well in their last games, which gives me confidence.

As for Atalanta's game, they are unbeaten in their last three games. They crushed Verona 6-1 in their last match. It's important to note, Verona is above Monza in the standings. I think they're going to take three points by doing an effortless match.

Lastly, it's hard to predict the Venezia vs Udinese game. Their odds differ slightly, which is very weird. This is because Venezia is a relegation team, while Udinese is in the top 10. It seems to me that if there is a fierce game, I think Udinese is gonna win it soon.

I will go with the option of straight wins for the matches of Inter Milan, Juventus, and Atalanta as I don't expect all of them to score many goals. Juventus for instance, have not been scoring much goals even when they play at home but because Parma is a very weak team especially at away compared to Juventus, a straight win for Juventus is like a safer option than expecting 3 goals in the match. Inter Milan at away too will like play more of defense than attack with the aim of getting at least one goal.

Empoli don't like to lose at home, the last time they lost at home to Napoli 0-1 and before that there were mostly draws and rare wins. Another fact is that Empoli haven't scored at home for 4 games in a row, which is a lot, I think they will try to fix it today, but if their statistics are not very good, then you shouldn't count on their attack, most likely they will focus on their defense again, sometimes they do it better. For Inter today only a win is needed, because any loss of points will allow Napoli to pull away.

It is not surprising that even though Inter Milan is the away team, they are still favored in the match because if we compare the two teams, Inter Milan is far superior to Empoli. And in this match I think getting 3 points is a must for Inzaghi's squad because they are far behind Napoli, but in any case in a football match there are always surprises in this case Inter must focus even though their opponent is a weak team, because if they make a mistake of course Empoli will take advantage of it well.

Empoli vs Inter

Empoli (predicted lineup): Devis Vasquez, Saba Goglichidze, Ardian Ismajli, Mattia De Sciglio, Emmanuel Quartsin Gyasi, Liam Henderson, Youssef Maleh, Tino Anjorin, Giuseppe Pezzella, Jacopo Fazzini, Lorenzo Colombo.

Inter Milan (predicted lineup): Yann Sommer, Yann Aurel Bisseck, Stefan de Vrij, Alessandro Bastoni, Matteo Darmian, Nicolo Barella, Piotr Zielinski, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Federico Dimarco, Marcus Thuram, Lautaro Martinez.

Empoli have been struggling to win a game since when they secured win in an away game against Torino with 1-2 and they are working hard to position themselves in the middle of the table but it seems they find it difficult because they haven't secured a victory in their last four matches and now they are facing Inter Milan who have maintained unbeaten in away matches nearly half a year and that is because of their strength, Inter Milan are currently doing well but sometimes football teaches us lessons, conclusions can not be drawn until the final whistle.

Venezia vs Udinese
Venezia (predicted lineup): Filip Stankovic, Antonio Candela, Michael Svoboda, Jay Idzes, Francesco Zampano, Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, Alfred Duncan, Gianluca Busio, Ridgeciano Haps, Joel Pohjanpalo, Gaetano Oristanio.

Udinese (predicted lineup): Maduka Okoye, Christian Kabasele, Jaka Bijol, Lautaro Gianetti, Kingsley Ehizibue, Sandi Lovric, Jesper Karlstroem, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Jordan Zemura, Lorenzo Lucca, Keinan Davis.

Venezia are hosting Udinese for the tenth round of series A league, Venezia are still struggling to get themselves together but it seems not working out because they keep on declining in their performance since when the recorded their first win of the season against Genoa, after the win Venezia began to concede two goals in four consecutive matches they had, in their last match against Monza which they have opportunity to win the game but they didn't make use of the chances they dominated the entire game and score goals but later Monza equalised to make it draw. Udinese have secured three victories against Venezia which I believe this match will make it fourth but let see how it will go since they draw the last game

I also don’t know about the Seria A match of today because I never expected Mid week games to have started soon.

On your predictions, I think they are right but I don’t know the courage you have in Juventus to predict above three goals in the match, but the remaining games can go well because they are all realistic.

Inter Milan will win this match will full force because they will not want dropping any point because Napoli under Conte has become very serious and they will like to catch up with them.

We are all seeing what Conte is doing and how well the team is becoming and also the other teams are noticing the force the Napoli side are bringing, they know Napoli is becoming difficult to defeat and the improvement is massive compare to when they played their first game of the season. But I still can't say they'll maintain this consistency because the season is still young and we are not yet done with the first half of the season, teams like Napoli can make that crucial mistake when is time to stay consistent.
Ac Milan still have time to change their mentality but it has to be fast because we're getting to the stage of the competition where if you lose a game to recover will be very hard and other teams will make sure they too get point to top any team that falls behind. Where you have Napoli, Juventus, Inter, Atalanta, Lazio and Udinese, Ac Milan are suppose to be struggling to be in the top 4 and not outside the top 4. With the good players they have the coach is suppose to make these guys to be more aggressive than what we saw last night.

This is a good position because of their strength and good play but if they don't work hard and didn't play well they need to be careful. I think they will be a strong team but they are not interest in that which is why they lose matches. In these matches Fiorentina has perform very well and score more goals.  Those who bet on the opposing teams would have been surprise by their performance.  Because Fiorentina score a lot of goal in these match and won the most matches.Their next matches will be watchable as many are wait to see if Fiorentina will keep their win streak or lose the match.

Last night in the Italian Serie A, Napoli defeated another big Italian team AC Milan with a 0:2 scoreline at the San Siro stadium. It was Napoli's 6th consecutive wins in all competitions and their 5th successive win in the Italian Serie A as the league leaders are now 7 points clear at the summit of the table. Khicha Kvaratskhelia and Romelu Lukaku's strikes was what ensured the visitors left with a clean sheet and a three points. After a poor defense of the league title last season in the Italian league, it looks like Napoli are back to their best thanks to the tactical strength of the club new manager Antonio Conte.

Napoli are playing well and their fortunes are doing very well. Due to which they are able to win regular matches. In today's match they scored 2 goals in the first half. And going into the second half, they didn't try to score themselves, and they didn't allow their opponents Ac Milan to make any mistakes. Always try to keep the ball in the middle of the field. And finally Napoli won the match by finishing the whole match 2-0. Their performance is definitely good

Do you realize, why Milan have better statistics than Napoli in this match, but Milan still lost?
That's because, Napoli had a quick goal in the 5th minute, with the quick goal, the team that conceded will certainly increase its attack to make an equalizer. But unfortunately, by having higher statistics, Milan conceded for the second time before the first half was over. Thus, it is very natural that Milan has high statistics or dominance in this match, because Milan also plays at home and its position has fallen behind or has conceded at the beginning of the first half, it makes Milan continue to make efforts to attack but the results still fail.

But apart from that, I personally am not surprised by this result because obviously, Napoli under Conte can promise good results and maybe even the Scudetto, so I also do not hesitate to choose Napoli in the match.

Your picks are to me of a big chance because the teams you picked as your favorite are actually bigger than the opponents so they are invariably going to most likely win them except if football happens or they get to draw the games. Atlanta isn't doing bad, they have had a relatively fair performance this season at the fifth position on the table with sixteen points meanwhile their opponents is at the sixteenth with just eight points so far this season, this statistics is enough to give the justification that Atlanta has got a bigger chance.

After Spalletti left Napoli before, we don't see a coach who has made many changes to Napoli performance, but with the presence of Conte this season has actually brought significant changes for their, victory after victory they can get even from a strong team like Milan and bologna , the consistency shown by Napoli  this season is real proof of conte strategic and tactical abilities so far, with a consistent performance like this at the moment of course napoli has a great chance to win the trophy at the end of the season, However, I think to maintain consistency throughout the season is a big challenge, so Conte needs to make sure that the his players stay focused and free from  injuries until end season.

The stat was in the favour of AC Milan  team but that team could not become successful to win this match.  The shots of AC Milan team were 13 and shots of Napoli team were 9 . AC Milan shots were only 5 which on target but Napoli shots only were 4 on target.The possession of AC Milan was 62 percent but Napoli possession percentage was 38 percent. The passes of AC Milan team were 560 and the passes of Napoli team were 359.Now Napoli football team is fully prepared to play next match against Atalanta team and we will good competition between these teams.  Napoli is best team of this tournament and that is winning the matches with consistency.

Empoli vs Inter today match we will pick Inter as favorite for betting. We know Inter are in very good form at the moment, their team is very strong which is why they are currently in a better position than all the other teams. If they win today's match against Empoli they will go ahead in the points table, Inter and Juventus are currently one point apart in the points table. However, looking at today's match betting odds, we can confirm that Empoli are strong favorites to win this match, so today's match is going to be a win for Inter.
