Well, even though Roma won in last night's match but the opponent is only Spezia and also, Roma still has to fight hard to win at home against the bottom ranked team. Indeed the result was good with clean sheets but Spezia had a goal disallowed and it shows that Roma are still not safe enough against a higher team especially when the opponent is a top team so it looks like Roma are still difficult to overcome stronger opponents up front.
Moreover, the team that Roma will face in good condition and Atlanta will not waste the opportunity to continue to still compete on the championship title track, a draw or loss is quite detrimental for Atlanta because it will make them have a further point difference with the team above them, especially if Milan defeat from Napoli there's a chance for Atlanta to take second place.

At least they got 3 points and stopped their bad streak. It is helpful for them and they can reunite and do better after Chrismas and New year holidays. Every club will have good and bad matches even they are at 1st position and play with club in bottom. Roma are not have strength of club at 1st position and their form is bad recently. It is a good and very acceptable result for them.Spezia fighted too aggressively and they should have 1 point but it is life. Congrats Roma for come back with winning!

Inter are a really lucky team for this round of the Serie A. Because they are going to play one of their easiest games vs Salernitana. I have no other expectation than a clean victory for Inter by a two-goal difference in the worst case scenario. And all of their closest followers are going to play very tough games. Atalanta are hosting Roma while there is even a bigger game like Milan - Napoli. Inter would maintain their position for sure.
Yes for sure, but they don't have luck on Champions League, vs Liverpool which is likely to prevent them is not progressing to the next round. It's really hurt for Milan as an eternal enemy, especially Calhanoglu which is an outcast player from Milan, he appears very well who make inter Milan reached the top. we can see the very fierce competition when Milan got the win vs Napoli also.
Inter are really going to be very comfortable this weekend. They should be able to tear Salernitana apart and keep their lead in the league table. And maybe the gap between them and Milan will be opening more after the Milan vs Napoli match. Because I think that we can see a draw with goals for this match. And Atalanta can even have a chance to take the second position from Milan if Napoli defeat them.
I think no one can challenge Inter for the title this year.
It seems a fight between Inter and Atalanta now, but Inter has a more competitive squad.
Milan can also recover their gameplay now without the euro cup and focus on games of the series a with only 1 game a week.
I see no chances for Napoli.

Now here in Italian League no team going to challenge Inter for this year's title as they have done very good job after some poor start currently they are at top with just 1 point difference, but surely it's going to be increased as this week we have few very hot competitions in league first we have Atlanta vs Roma where Atlanta is going to have very good match for approaching second spot in league second good match is going to be played between AC Milan vs Napoli which is going to hurt one team for losing more points as right now both losing points very frequently and now staying at 2nd and 4th spot with Inter and Atlanta are leading teams with very good record and safe future here at top in presence of some very good teams.

Two corners, two goals. Roma remembered the victory thanks to the corners. Smalling and Ibanez defeated Spezia 2-0. Mourinho also failed to carry Roma to the top of the league.
Considering the recent statistics in the Serie A, it is like Milan and Napoli have changed roles with Inter and Atalanta now. Now, they are the teams which have incredible forms recently. But this would certainly change on the coming weeks. I just hope to see this fierce competition going on until the end of the season. I don't want any team to pull away from the others and win an easy title.
That is the joy of serial A this season. I am do much inlove with the developments unlike before when Juventus used to Lord over them all.The league might not be decided till second to the last day of the season. Goal differences might also play a big role in deciding the league standings.
I must confess, I am very happy with the performance of Atlanta and wish they can maintain the momentum to the end.

If we talk about the domestic championship, then maybe yes, but if we talk about European competitions, I would rather say that there are no more strong teams left in Italy and I think the first knockout rounds will confirm this. However, I will hope that Napoli will be able to beat Barcelona.
And I'm glad that Mourinho's team finally won and caught up with Juventus (though this is not a race for the championship
).
There is no doubt in recent years Italian League is going down in quality and their teams facing some serious issues in European Leagues with right now just Juventus and Inter are teams which are going to be in knock out stage and from these teams Juventus has chance to be in quarter-final inter is going in front of Liverpool which is currently best team in Europe so it is very hard time for them.And I'm glad that Mourinho's team finally won and caught up with Juventus (though this is not a race for the championship
). In Europa League Napoli is going against Barcelona which is struggling but still some better from Napoli as they are also having poor result in last few matches with Lazio is also having very hard time and Atlanta is better hopefully they will do good in this round for having some better result.
Thankfully, there is another awesome match this week and it is Atalanta vs Roma. I'd like to start with Atalanta's great form. Because it is too good to overlook. Atalanta have a run like six victories in a row. This carried them to the third place by Napoli's interesting point loss against Empoli. I'm very sure that Atalanta will be preparing for this match in a great way. On the other hand, Roma are not very trustworthy these days. They finally won last week. But they still don't seem like they can resist Atalanta too much. I expect a certain victory for Atalanta at the end of this match.

And I'm glad that Mourinho's team finally won and caught up with Juventus (though this is not a race for the championship
). It's true that in European competitions, Italian teams have lost their strength/ power/, and they don't cause the past years "fear". Still, Inter can be considered a strong team that can beat any opponent. However, almost all the teams from all the major leagues (besides EPL), have faced the same issue. Probably because the best league is EPL?
In elimination matches, even Lil has a chance. Formally, the EPL is undeniably the best: Spain - Real (and Atletico in crisis, Barcelona dropped out of the top clubs), France - PSG, Germany - Bayern (Borussia was eliminated, although it was never considered a top club), Italy - a large group of strong teams, but for the most part it is the power of the name, in general they can be assessed as Atletico Madrid +/-, England - City, Liverpool, Chelsea (+ United in crisis) - super squad.
Inter will do it today and will lead the standings. I was sure that Milan will not be able to remain the leader in the championship for a long time.
~snip~
It looks like Milan are having the same problem as last season. They were great at the start of the season and lost in the middle to the end. They should learn from this problem. They failed at UCL and they started to get exhausted. It seems that pioli's rotation of players is ineffective. Yesterday against udinese he rested Franck Kessie, it seemed like a pioli mistake. They should dare to field the best players because their fixture schedule is still next week against Napoli. ~snip~

We can guess the results of the Roma match against Spezia, nothing special. However, this result will certainly bring good motivation for AS Roma before againts Atalanta. Atalanta have 5 wins in the last 5 matches. This proves that Atalanta is on fire. They are not an easy opponent for Roma players, I am more sure that Atalanta will be the winners in this match.
After seeing Juventus draw, then Milan draw and then had a big surprise when Napoli lose the game so nothing surprises me anymore, there are no weak teams in Serie A, in any case the provisional result:
Rome 1 - 0 spezia
Rome 1 - 0 spezia

Roma didn't destroy the hopes about a comfortable win and ended Spezia in their home game by 2-0. But there was a balanced game most of the time and Roma couldn't dominate any half. They were just a little better than Spezia in the first half. But they still got the win they were aiming to get. The only and most important thing Roma need to do from now on is to improve their effort week by week. Mourinho should search for a way out of their bad form and they should be able to go up in the league standings.
