It was a lucky day for Genoa as Atlanta had series of wasted attempts more credit should be given to Genoa goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu who secured a point for Genoa as all attempts to breakthrough the keeper went void. Genoa can save the point they got from Atlanta it could save them in future games if they can possibly improve
I can confirm that when I review the match stats. Genoa had only 1 kick throughout the match and 0 on target. They were really lucky to end the game with a draw and of course that result will be very disappointing for many Atalanta fans. Poor finishing is the reason Atalanta can't score, it's not fun but sometimes things like this make a game that is considered easy to turn into very annoying.

Sassuolo 0 - 3 Bologna
Who could imagine that Sassuolo, who has scored at least 2 goals in the last matches, would have lost against Bologna and as if the defeat wasn't a painful thing, bologna didn't allow Sassuolo to score at least 1 goal. when people say that anything can happen in the field they are not lying
Well the last sentence is so accurate and I believe most people didn't see that coming, I assume even those who placed a bet for Bologna didn't expect to see this quite large score!Who could imagine that Sassuolo, who has scored at least 2 goals in the last matches, would have lost against Bologna and as if the defeat wasn't a painful thing, bologna didn't allow Sassuolo to score at least 1 goal. when people say that anything can happen in the field they are not lying
A second surprise after Atalanta draw. For the other games that started, Verona and Inter are leading 1 goal each
Sassuolo who in the previous few matches could put up a great fight against the top-ranked teams, but now Sassuolo have an opponent who is also in the middle of the table but Sassuolo looks difficult or deadlocked to get a goal. It's a mid-table competition but Sassuolo playing at home is not so good, with the 0-2 result so far I personally don't believe Sassuolo can turn things around, even to make the result a draw I doubt it.
I feel they are currently too busy pressing the opponent to forget their defense area which is not well guarded.different to the previous game when they were against top teams, they were focused on their defensive area but now they appear attacking by trying to take possession of the ball but it turns out to be a blunder so they can't anticipate the counter-attack

Crazy! And unexpected! But Bologna did steal the show and could have scored even more during the 2nd half.
We've got 3 more fixtures currently underway, I'm tuned into Roma vs Sampdoria, it's been a really square game, with Roma being the slight the better team over the 25 played minutes.

Sassuolo are dominating in the match, while they haven't been able to secure any goal. I literally thought Sassuolo was going to win against Bologna. But, it seems this match is a winning match for Bologna. Am quite surprised, because Sassuolo's performance in their last matches was a bit impressive. They drew their last game, and were able to beat Lazio. However, Bologna will be having additional 3 points, which will enable them to slide to the 10th position on the standings.This is common in a match even though dominating still can't score or win I saw Sassuolo players frustrated can't do much when entering the Bologna defense
It's a shame with statistics like that Sassuolo can't score even though it deserves to score 2 goals. In another match Lazio finally won but did not change the position in the standings.

What's wrong with Sassuolo? they seem very confident when they meet top teams, like win over Lazio and Juventus, draw vs Fiorentina, but, meet Bologna (currently on 54") they have conceded 2 goals so far.
although Bologna still lost possession, they got 2 goals in the first half. it's a very good achievement to break the trust of Sassuolo.with 61% possession, all of them just stay in the middle of the field. not many made it into the Bologna defense. especially with the current number of 10 shots made by Sassuolo. only 3 are on target.
Sassuolo has problems upfront and finishing. but in this match, Bologna also has a good defense. it makes Sassuolo attacks always fail.
Atalanta wasted a big chance last night. They had the game under control completely. But somehow, Genoa managed to get one point by a 0-0 result. Clumsiness caused Atalanta to lose points again. After having a great period of time in the Serie A, they have started struggling for two weeks. I still believe in them to recover soon. This happens for every team at some point in the end.

Genoa can save the point they got from Atlanta it could save them in future games if they can possibly improvethey seem to be losing momentum at the moment and their form has continued to decline in recent games.
whereas if you look at them they are actually very seeded in the last few games but they always lose momentum.
and this series with genoa is the umpteenth time they have dropped in terms of performance.
I hope they bounce back and can overcome something like this in the next game.

but when it comes to Milan (who surprised many times this season) I am not sure can they take down Empoli... I really don't have luck with Milan, as I said, so I am not sure should I play them or simply to skip that game totally!

AC Milan must win if they do not want to be left behind from Inter too far. Milan should be able to take advantage of the draw obtained by Atalanta. Because from these results, Atalanta failed to shift AC Milan's position today. Juventus is getting closer, this will be a threat for Milan, if in this match against Empoli they don't get 3 points.

So unfortunate that Covid still leaves among us... I suppose vaccination for all should be the way to go to help ptotect the next person unlike whats happening were vaccination is actually an option.

Samdoria vs As Roma will be an interesting match, Roma are in top form they won 4-1 against Atalanta. If roma win big again maybe they are on fire. Samdoria had to be afraid against Tammy Abraham he scored 2 goals against Atalanta. My prediction
Maybe Roma can win by more than one goal.
Roma can win tonight, they are playing good and indeed their last win was amazing! But I also think that Sampdoria can score in this game, they are playing open football, and in all their games they score, I think there's a huge chance for tonight for more goals, over 2.5 and both teams to score is my bet!
I think Napoli and Milan will have good games as well! They need to win if they wish to get closer to Inter... I guess Napoli at home has an advantage and I expect an easy win, but when it comes to Milan (who surprised many times this season) I am not sure can they take down Empoli... I really don't have luck with Milan, as I said, so I am not sure should I play them or simply to skip that game totally!

The game between Udinese and Salernitata has been canceled due COVID.
Juventus will play in 30 minutes.
Aware of Empoli <3

Whatever the case good to see that we have some games that are coming.
For today's games, Napoli, AC Milan, Florentina, Inter Milan and Lazio should all win! I guess its a day for favorites.
Meanwhile, the game between Venezia 1-1 Lazio has been a difficult one after the early 3 minutes goal. Both teams have strengthened there defense line that, ball hardly crosses. Making any shot that goes through count.
It was a big disappointment for Atalanta. Even though they deserved to win the match by a great performance, they missed the chance to defeat Genoa. This is their second bad result in a row. There is a worrying problem on their finishing for two weeks. They should find a way out of this problematic situation. They were much better normally as they had a great winning streak. But they can leave these days behind soon I think.
Yesterday's result, on the one hand, is illogical (a favorite against an obvious outsider), on the other hand, such results are inevitable for Atalanta - if it did not lose points in some matches with outsiders, then now it would be on a par (and maybe ahead) with Inter. But to expect that Atalanta could win the Scudetto would probably be too optimistic.

Young forward Vlahovic is doing great things for Fiorentina. With 16 goals scored, he is in the leading position in the top scorer in Serie A. It is a huge statistic for him to show such a high level performance at the age of 21. He is the second top scorer in the five major leagues. Bayern striker Lewandowski is in the first place. The Serbian striker, who scored 1 goal in 10 matches last year, is showing an excellent performance this year.
Sassuolo vs Bologna nothing special in this match just bet for fun just checked the history of the two teams' matches Sassuolo dominate some wins
But I won't place a bet there because Both teams to score catches my attention more at least both teams did in the last 7 matches so it doesn't matter who wins.

To be honest, I doubted Juventus would win, but I didn't expect Atalanta to be unable to beat Genoa! I wonder how the favourites will play tonight? I think there could also be surprises, for example Lazio might not win against Venice... Or Milan might lose away to Empoli...
Week 19 will bring together Juventus versus Napoli, who will manage to get 3 points?? If according to my own predictions I will bet on Juventus, although Napoli's performance is now very consistent because in Week 18 yesterday Napoli managed to beat AC Milan with a score of 1-0, but I am still optimistic that Juventus will be able to get 3 points, when dealing with Napoli in the weekend. 19th..Dont be so optimistic, Juventus indeed shown nice result in their last several match but in term of how they play as a team, Napoli is still a little bit better especially in attacking.
I think the best option to bet on this match is BTTS or over/under 2.5goals.
Placing a bet on which one to win is risky in this kind of match, there were some suprise results in Serie A recently including the draw of Atalanta against Genoa.
