Napoli has really pulled a huge surprise in the Serie A so far because after 10 games they are still maintaining the top of the table so i really applaud them for their resilience but for this match against AC Milan they ain't any thing special about them just that the defense of AC Milan is not solid hence they gave Napoli's Romelu Lukaku and K. Kvaratskhelia to score in the first half and put Napoli by 2:0 though Alvaro Morata scored for AC Milan in the early part of the second half but the goal was disallowed after a VAR check. AC Milan really got more of the possession but it's unfortunate they are unable to score and the match is almost at the late minutes of the second half. Napoli may be the possible favorites for the Serie A this season if they can keep up with this awesome performance.

Cristian Pulisic and Rafael Leao were on the bench, seemingly not fully fit, so Paulo Fonseca only introduced them in the second half. With little time remaining, it seems AC Milan won't be able to turn the game around. Napoli defense is very disciplined, and even to draw seems difficult. Conte is truly a cold handed manager, he has been able to transform Napoli in a short time. The experienced Lukaku has kept Napoli attack sharp even without Osimhen. Statistically, AC Milan dominated possession, but Napoli were more effective. It's certainly disappointing to drop points at home, especially since Napoli will be more comfortable sitting at the top of the table with these additional 3 points today. The score is still 0-2 for Napoli victory.

Milan were the favourites before the start of the game, but it looks like Napoli are confidently taking another 3 points. It may be too early to say, but what happened in previous seasons could happen again - a brutal dominance by one club. And who would have thought that it would be Napoli again. They are already clearly favourites in the title race and this is a surprise resurrection from last season's 10th place.

Yep, for this season (the beginning of the season) it seems like Fiorentina got a new energy that makes them really very good for now even for now they are one of the clubs with very good goal productivity because they only lost to Atalanta and Inter and have a pretty solid defense too.

This is certainly a very good thing because it is not impossible if in the end Stefano Citterio is able to maintain this dominance then it is not impossible that Fiorentina can be one of the clubs that can compete for the Skudeto especially for points other than Napoli they are not far behind.

But indeed when talking about the race for the Scudetto now there must be someone who can withstand or destroy Conte's dominance with the new Napoli at this time because the points are far enough and make Napoli like running alone for the start of this season.
Now they face Milan but it looks like Napoli are still too strong for Milan and it is likely that they will get 3 points again in today's match.

The second half has started and Milan has not been able to put up a fight even though they managed to get several chances.
Milan had a chance to hold a draw but I think the style of play and tactics used by Milan were a bit bad because they focused too much on controlling the ball without putting pressure on Napoli.
If Napoli manages to get 3 points in this match, they will be even stronger as a candidate for the leader of Serie A.

The first half ended 2-0 with Napoli on the lead. A beautiful shot by Kvaratskhelia after driving from the right hand side gave Napoli their second goal on the 43rd minutes of the match. Milan played very well in the first half with a lot of wasted opportunities that was supposed to bw converted to a goal. However, Napoli only had few opportunities that they were able to convert into a goal. Two shots on target led to two goals for Napoli. Milan needs to equalize these two goals in the second half for them to be able to share point with Napoli, what if Napoli scores more goals in the secind half, it means that Napoli will get all three points away from home.

Napoli definitely looks great, Lukaku is showing them they do not need Osimhen to score, and they are looking like a totally different team. Well not that different, they were the winners a year ago, they just had a terrible season last year, but with Conte they are getting better back in again. This is the important part, they should be considering how to get better results and we are getting there.

I believe the best thing to do would be just focusing on how to get better again and they did that. Conte is a world class coach and I believe he deserves all the credit he is getting for getting Napoli back on the top, and getting a win here again wouldn't be a surprise, I am not expecting Milan to score any goals or get a draw.

The Napoli team has been in great form this season. Since Napoli are not performing in the Champions League or the Europa League, they are able to fully focus on Serie A. And in every Serie A match we see Napoli perform well. The top spot in the table is also occupied by Napoli. Today's match is AC Milan's home match. But I bet on Napoli to win. Hope the Napoli players don't make any mistakes today.

Napoli took the lead in just 5 minutes with Lukaku's goal. It has now become more difficult for the Milan players to make a comeback in this match. Napoli's defense is strong, while the forwards are in good form. However, Milan's players continued to score goals.

What an outstanding finish from Lukaku with an early goal scored on the first minutes of the game to take the lead. Napoli is currently playing with pressure and Milan is trying to understand themselves in the game.. Napoli didn't make any mistake of hiring Conte as Napoli manager, because he is doing a great job in the club. If Napoli can win this match, they will be 7 points ahead of Inter. Napoli is not playing as if they are away in this match, and this shows how prepared they are for today's match.

Milan 0-1 Napoli.

Milan vs Napoli

AC Milan (predicted lineup): Mike Maignan, Emerson Royal, Malick Thiaw, Fikayo Tomori, Filippo Terracciano, Youssouf Fofana, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Samuel Chukwueze, Christian Pulisic, Rafael Leao, Alvaro Morata.

Napoli (predicted lineup): Alex Meret, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani, Alessandro Buongiorno, Mathias Olivera, Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, Billy Gilmour, Scott McTominay, Matteo Politano, Romelu Lukaku, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Since when Hellas Verona defeated Napoli in their first match and it remains their only lost for them, since then Napoli are able to maintain their unbeaten which is quite impressive for them to maintain the top on the tables. With Napoli current form I have confidence in them to win this match despite AC Milan are the host, AC Milan are also big team but they are finding it difficult to locate their consistency and that is were the problem lies, they manager to secured victory against inter Milan after a long period of being defeated but still that doesn't reflect on their performance to show an improvement, will l said they just got that victory because of the burden on them against inter Milan.

The game score is now 0-2 in favour of the visitors. Goals from Orsolini and Odgaard might be enough to take Bologna to the tenth position. They have not had a win for the past three games, so a win in this game will be a boost to the team. I thought Cagliari would be able to put up a fight after their recent loss to Udenese due to the early red card their player Makoumbou got. It seems they will have to remain in the 14th position if they don't come back to get a least a draw in this game.

Lecce  1-0 Hellas Verona

The match between Lecce vs Hellas verona I thought would be a draw. But at the moment the Lecce team is leading by 1-0. Lecce's chances of winning are high at the moment. Because I don't see Hellas Verona players performing well today. Hellas Verona had a big chance to stay away from the relegation zone by getting 3 points from today's match. But Verona is likely to lose in today's match.

In the 40th minute of the first half, Hellas Verona defender Tchatchoua received a red card and was sent off. And this made Hellas Verona's defense even weaker. Lecce took the lead at the beginning of the second half with Dorgu's goal. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the match ends 1-0.

Bologna is currently leading 1-0. Although Cagliari's home match, Cagliari team cannot be considered as favorites in this match. Because the performance of this team is not so good this season. Compared to Cagliari, Bologna's overall performance is quite good. Bologna has lost only one match this season. However, the team has shared points in most of the matches.

Riccardo Orsolini's goal scored Bologna in the 35th minute of the match. Bologna players are trying to dominate the match with 66% ball possession. Even so, Cagliari's players could not break Bologna's defense despite several good attacks. Bologna has more chances to win this match.

Yes, they took over early in the match, Bologna should have scored in the first half. but they have to be able to increase their chances first because even though they made control of the game, they didn't get many chances that they managed to finish well.
Cagliari actually got some chances too. That means Bologna also has to be aware of their opponent's game which might give them a surprise that they never imagined.

After yesterday's match was postponed, Milan's players have returned with physical performance on fire to face Napoli at home, a situation like this can be utilized again by being ready in all aspects. In the match between Milan - Napoli, I prefer that the final result will be a draw.
However, even though Milan was able to win against Napoli, the score was not much different because both teams both had good performance compared to last season. I hope Milan can steal the opportunity to create more opportunities to score goals. I think Napoli can also change the situation against Milan and take points to stay at the top of the standings.

The match between Cagliari vs Bologna in Italian League has already started. I am waiting to see the performance of Bologna team players in today's match. I hope that Bologna team will perform well in today's match and win the match. Bologna team players are much stronger than Cagliari team players.  So Bologna team has more chances to win this match.

Yes crazy, it seems like a different team from one mont ago, without going too far.
I honestly can't explain this change of gear and i cant understand what and how it could have happened.
Either they got into scary athletic shape, or i dont know, i dont understad
I wouldn't have bet 1 euro on it

Well, because the previous match got a delay about the Bologna v Milan match, then this moment Milan should have a very good situation with better fitness because at least get a longer break. With this factor, Milan should be able to make a good performance against Napoli because after all, in this match also that Milan played at home. But indeed, even so at least I personally also still have high confidence for Napoli to keep getting points, whether it's with a win or maybe a draw. But yes, because Milan are in a good situation then I hope also Milan are able to make a few goals in this match so as to produce a good number of goals too, and not just end with a low score.

Cagliari vs Bologna

Cagliari (predicted lineup): Simone Scuffet, Gabriele Zappa, Yerry Mina, Sebastiano Luperto, Tommaso Augello, Razvan Marin, Michel Ndary Adopo, Nadir Zortea, Nicolas Viola, Zito Luvumbo, Roberto Piccoli.

Bologna (predicted lineup): Lukasz Skorupski, Stefan Posch, Sam Beukema, Jhon Lucumi, Juan Miranda, Nikola Moro, Remo Freuler, Riccardo Orsolini, Giovanni Fabbian, Jesper Karlsson, Santiago Castro.

Unipol Domus is a special place for Bologna because it have been long when they defeated Cagliari at Unipol Domus which I think is not anywhere close due to their current form, Bologna haven't won in their last five matches in all competitions. Despite the both teams are not in their best form but Cagliari seems to have more chance of winning, if not because of anything at least they should continue their home unbeaten against Bologna, let see how the match goes.

Lecce vs Verona
Lecce (predicted lineup): Wladimiro Falcone, Andy Pelmard, Kialonda Gaspar, Federico Baschirotto, Antonino Gallo, Ylber Ramadani, Balthazar Pierret, Lassana Coulibaly, Lameck Banda, Nikola Krstovic, Patrick Dorgu.

Hellas Verona (predicted lineup): Lorenzo Montipo, Jackson Tchatchoua, Daniele Ghilardi, Giangiacomo Magnani, Domagoj Bradaric, Reda Belahyane, Ondrej Duda, Tomas Suslov, Casper Tengstedt, Darko Lazovic, Amin Sarr.

Lecce are hosting Hellas Verona at Stadio Via del mare this evening, Lecce have been suffering in the hands of Hellas Verona for for almost two decades, for this periods they met six times and Hellas Verona secured five wins and one draw, Lecce haven't win a game in their last five matches, they only have five points and today they are playing their 10th game. Despite the the number of matches that remain I don't think Lecce will make any U-turn. Hellas Verona have the higher chances of winning despite they are playing atStadio Via del mare.

I also expected this match to end in a draw but I did not expect this match to end like this or have a result like this first of all and if I have seen any recent match that probably should have had a winner, it probably is this one. Both of the teams played really well in this match. Scoring four goals each is not something that we see every day. And this is something that Juventus gets criticized for a lot. They are able to play well but they are available to win matches when it really matters. This was a great chance for Juventus to actually get ahead and get to the second place. But they have failed to do that. I hope they will actually be able to win some matches. Otherwise, it is going to be hard for them to actually compete for the title.
