In the next match at Inter Milan's home ground it will not be easy enough for Juventus because Inter Milan still has a lot of strength to give resistance to the rival teams that are still strong this season. But I also do not doubt Juventus' efforts this season because no matter what Juventus is still included in the teams that can compete in the top four of the Italian League this season and Juventus also still has the opportunity to be able to stay in that position or even get second place when Inter Milan loses in other matches.

Of course Juventus does have a big fight in front of her, and that is every season in Italy; More so this season especially with dominative Inter Milan and a rebounding Napoli team after a rather bad performance last season. Juve sits third on the current standings, but that position seems rather precarious, particularly in light of the fact that even AC Milan, who are another Serie A team that has been having their fair share of issues with consistency of late, could start accumulating more points. A match against the Inter will be a great challenge because Inter is a team which is stable in the Premier League and has always been very defensive. Juventus have a big question to answer whether they want to go for a aggressive match to get the position they want or stay with an endanger and just defend.

The next round is definitely gonna be easier for Napoli and Milan, which is going to put Juventus in a tough spot if they can’t secure a full point off Inter. Essentially, if Juve want to push on and maintain challenging towards the upper echelons, they must take something out of the tough match; maybe, counter some of Inter’s strong points. But staying at third place is also not a bad thing as long as they can achieve a draw or lose few points.

But Monza really surprised me. because currently Monza is still ahead in the first half with a score of 0-1. I hope Verona can rise and turn things around. I favor Verona in this match because I consider that Verona is the host in this match and Verona is also much better in terms of ranking. But it seems that Monza managed to hold Roma to a draw in the previous match, not just because of luck. but Monza seems to be experiencing an improvement in their playing performance. And if Verona loses this match then I think this will be an important moment for Monza who have never won at all this season. And today's win will be his first win. but I still believe Verona will win. Because the game is still long and let's see what will happen.

Juventus is facing furious opponents this season, as usual Inter Milan is in the first places and this time Napoli is holding the first place for now after their failure in the last season. Luckily AC Milan dropped many points, otherwise they might shift Juve from the third place too.
This round all top teams won except of Roma because they faced Inter. The next round will be hard for Juventus since they will face Inter and easy for Napoli and Milan. It is whether Juventus try their shot and advance for good or stay in the back.

Verona vs Monza

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

Monza (confirmed lineup): Stefano Turati, Armando Izzo, Pablo Mari, Andrea Carboni, Pedro Pereira, Giorgos Kyriakopoulos, Warren Bondo, Matteo Pessina, Gianluca Caprari, Dany Mota, Milan Djuric


Monza about to go tonight against Hellas at Stadio Bentegodi, Monza are the only teams in series A who haven't secured a win since the start of the season, will this match be the freedom for them to clear that mark but I think it's going to be very difficult to defeat Hellas at Stadio Bentegodi with their current situation, it absolutely looks obvious seeing them in 19th place in the table but still am much confident that they can't go behind venezia despite there is not winning game because the have draw record than venezia which show that they are still far better than venezia. Hellas will make sure they don't give Monza a breathing space to allow them secure a win.

Roma were more in attack but their effectiveness was poor so there were a lot of wasted opportunities or even the attack patterns that were built had to stop in the middle of the field so they were difficult to do much in this match because when talking about the effectiveness of the attacks carried out, Inter did very well even though they lost possession of the ball.

To be honest, this match will definitely be very difficult for both clubs so that 1 goal is very good I think for Inter even though this goal was created because it was a mistake from Roma who could not intercept the fast counter-attacks made.  With this result Inter are still clinging to Napoli in the race for the Scudetto and IMO for the season with Napoli back in the race for the trophy the situation will be tough and quite interesting again for Serie A. Hopefully there will be something interesting in the next month because if you look at the schedule in mid-November Conte will come to his former club for a reunion in Inter's big match against Napoli.

The AS Roman vs Inter Milan match was an interesting match to watch yesterday. AS Roman displayed a good performance and dominated Inter Milan in ball possession but failed to win this match because they were not offensive off front, which caused them the three points against Inter Milan yesterday. Inter Milan were more in form this season and had more experienced players than AS Roman in this game, and that is the reason why Inter Milan were able to edge AS Roman in this match. This win Inter Milan had against AS Roma is important for them, and it has also made them close the gap with Napoli in the Serie A table.

If Juventus can find more sharpness in their attack line then this team will really be very scary in Serie A. Because if combined with their very strong level of defense it will make this team really solid on all fronts. But this only happens in Serie A. I mean Juventus only has difficulty scoring goals in all Serie A matches. Meanwhile in the UCL we see that Juventus has even scored 6 goals in 2 matches.

First, when they played against PSV, we saw Juventus win with a score of 3-1, then Juventus also won with a score of 2-3 against Leipzig. It's just that Juventus' defense also seems to be quite open in the UCL. This is different from Juventus in Serie A which has a very tight defense. So it can be said that Thiago Motta's performance there is still quite good so far.

Juventus' main problem so far is low goal productivity. The team's performance is good in defense, but they will not be balanced if they do not have the sharpness and high goal instinct of their striker. Juventus has only scored 11 goals in 8 matches, that's a small number of goals in my opinion, but Juventus is the team with the strongest defense so far in 8 matche.

Dusan Vlahovic has contributed almost half of Juventus' goals in 8 Serie A matches so far, of course he has scored 5 goals in 8 appearances. Other players are expected to help the team to increase productivity, meaning they should not fully expect Dusan Vlahovic to score goals. But maybe it's natural that Juventus doesn't have a high goal productivity at the moment, because I haven't found a better striker than Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik (injured) in the squad.

We have to admit that Roma's performance has improved tremendously. Roma had a poor start to the season. But Roma's overall performance at the moment is very strong. Roma's overall performance against Inter Milan was very strong. If the players of Inter Milan had made any mistakes in this match, they would have failed to get 3 points. The performance of the Inter Milan players was very composed from the beginning of the match. This is the reason why the player of Inter Milan was able to secure 3 points in this match.

Inter Milan narrowly won 1-0 against Roma. However, in this match, Roma's players attacked more than Inter Milan's players. Roma players had 55% ball possession in this match. At the same time, Roma managed to make a total of 14 shots. On the other hand, the players of Inter Milan managed to make a total of 11 shots. The performance of the Roma team is quite good now. If this trend continues, I think this team will be able to finish in the top 5 of the table.

There is only 1 match remaining this week, namely Verona's match which will face Monza.

At first glance, this will be a fairly easy match for us to guess the result. Because Verona should be the favorite in this match. Because Verona has a better ranking this season than Monza. Verona is currently ranked 12th. Meanwhile Monza is ranked 19th. But actually this match has now turned into a match that will be difficult to predict. Because we saw that Monza managed to hold AS Roma to a draw in the previous match. And I don't think Verona as the host in this match will be able to beat Monza easily. It's just that I can't imagine Verona losing to Monza this season. So yeah, I will still favor the home team, namely Verona.

What I can see in Juventus is a missing supersub for Vlahovic or other players who can score goals from the 2nd line.
Anytime Vlahovic is out of form, there is no player who can fill this missing task to score goals so Juventus seems to be frustrated to score goals regardless which team is the opponent.
Yildiz and Cambiasso are great young players but they need to have more playing time to make them as the real star players who can help the striker and the whole team to score goals.
I think Motta need to consider to find more strikers to cover Vlahovic in the next upcoming transfer window and maybe he also need to buy a great playmaker to control the strategy in the center.

I admit that Inter appeared stronger than Roma and the match was very interesting because both teams were equally careful not to concede. Unfortunately, Roma had to concede 1 goal which gave Inter full points.
The victory was very much deserved by Inter because in terms of player quality, Inter is far superior. But unfortunately my bet lost because I hoped Roma could put up a fight but Roma chances could not become any score.

But in other matches it was very profitable for me because Atalanta played very well and Torino had to suffer a defeat from a weak team.

It seems that the competition for the Scudetto this season will involve at least three teams, Napoli, Inter Milan and Juventus. In my opinion, AC Milan is still worth considering, only they must rise and perform consistently in the future. The match between Juventus versus Inter Milan will be beneficial for Napoli, especially if the match ends in a draw, besides I think Lecce will not be able to hold back Conte squad in the same week. Juventus unbeaten trend will be tested by defending champion Inter Milan, of course the strength of both teams will be clearly seen in the big match. On paper, victory tends to be on Inter Milan side.

Napoli and Inter are not separated by many points. there is a gap of only 2 points. so Inter need to win just one match more than Napoli to make up for it. which we will see happening very soon. Inter won the last series as well but Napoli won the Italian league after many years in the previous series. Napoli have been playing well since the start of this series as well. however, it is doubtful whether they can compete with Inter. Napoli had a good luck in the 2022-23 series which made them win the championship after a long year[/list]

Juventus dominated their game against Lazio over the weekend no doubt but to think that they failed to find the back of the net until the 85th minute when Lazio defender Gila scored an goal before they could find a winner strongly suggests that there's something wrong with the team. They weren't convincing in that game against Lazio over the weekend and if they must be strong enough to contend for the league title this season, then they'll have to improve from what we saw in that game. Though they won but there was nothing convincing about their win if you ask me

Although losing Roma play very well, Inter Milan is quite difficult to get a goal, even though they always get a goal easily in every match, a few weeks later after the new coach comes to AS Roma and starts to adapt to make Rome better in terms of the game, seeing them Playing more regularly and disciplined, yes I mean there is a development than previous matches.

I think that Roma will compete again at the top of 5 standings if they succeed through this drub period.[/list]

A win is a win and it doesn’t matter how those win were attained. Juventus are very important team in this fight for the Scudetto, they’re well positioned and playing a very great football in the league which should really give them that confidence to push more for the title. They’ve been a major contender for the league title since last season and even this season, their performance is still quite encouraging and can be placed in that position as one of the team that can win the league title amongst others currently competing for it. The Serie A is very competitive with many teams doing greatly well and all fighting vigorously for the same course. If you get to stand out as a team in that league, you should have a very big chance of winning the title alongside others that have that same potential like your team.

Neither team could score until half time, I predicted that inter would win the match with a goal going into the last minute but they took the lead in the 60th minute.  And after that there is no mistake in the entire match.  Inter is a very good team.  And they often do very well in the Italian league.  However, in this series, Napoli have been ahead of them in terms of points.  So Inter will have to play well in their next matches to compete with Napoli[/list]

That's why I'm not too happy with Juventus this season, although Motta makes Juventus better than the previous season but Juventus are still very weak in their attack. Juventus only more often have high ball possession but do not have clear goals or targets in attack, so often Juventus get deadlocked. Even worse, even though Juventus played at home only playing against mediocre teams, but Juventus also got a  deadlock in making goals and that happened when Juventus played against Cagliari because I watched the match and only ended in a 1-1 draw.

About the match against Lazio, it was clear that Juventus again only controlled the match with ball  possession but poor in their efforts to create attacks. To make matters worse, Lazio had been down to 10 player since the 24th minute after Alessio Romagnoli was shown a red card, but during the period of time until the end of the match Juventus were really bad at building attacks. After all, the goal for Juventus was also only an own goal, because Juventus could have won with a biggerscore if Juventus had a better attack.

About the match between AS Roma v Inter, I personally wasn't surprised about the result, because I just predicted Inter would definitely win even if it was only by a narrow score it was enough for Inter to maintain its position  in the Serie A standings.
