I don't think even AC Milan will catch Inter Milan in the table right now. Inter Milan are at the top of the table, where they have recorded 75 points, while AC Milan are in the second position with 59 points, so you can see that there is a big difference, and this shows that Inter Milan are going to keep their consistency till the final stage of the season. However, I think AC Milan should put in more effort in their matches because if they lose any match now while Juventus get a single win, they will take over their position in the table. Although Juventus performance is a little falling, they may get the second position if they do well; if not, I think the first position is not for them.


yeah. You are right. Inter Milan's consistency shows that they will surely continue this way, and with all indications, I don't think they will lose to any of the teams (AC Milan or Juventus). I think Inter have gone far already, so maybe these two teams are going to be the ones to fight for the second position, so let's see which of them will succeed in getting the position. 

Napoli is in trouble this year. They were great last year and had a dream season. This year, there is not even a trace of last year. I don't recognize Naples. After seeing this poor performance this year, I think they should prepare harder for next year. I think they will fight for the Scudetto again next year.

It is very unlikely that Napoli will finish in the European league zone because their performance has not improved so far, so there is nothing to expect from Napoli.
Their elimination in the last 16 of the Champions League was not surprising, this was predicted from the start.

If you look at the difference in points and mathematically it is still possible to compete fiercely, but we also have to be realistic in looking at the strength of the Napoli team as a whole so I think that in the remaining matches this season Napoli will not be able to take full advantage of it and that is the reason I am so sure that Napoli will not can finish in the European league zone this season.

Formerly, I believed that Juventus would challenge Inter Milan, but I don't think they can do that now. Juventus has been playing incredibly well since the start of the season, and they were also vying for first place in the serie A league, but they messed up in a draw against Atlanta, so they are currently in third place in the league table. Ac Milan is in second place and leads Juventus by one point, but even though that point is achievable, if Juventus doesn't perform well, they won't be able to overtake ac Milan.

Inter Milan currently leads the league table with more points than any other team in the serie A. They are ahead of AC Milan in second place with 16 points and ahead of Juventus in third place with 17 points. How can a team get a point to catch up to Inter Milan? No team can do it because their team is also in good shape to play any match they have. To put it simply, if Inter Milan doesn't win the serie A league, nobody will.

Thanks to the victory that Udinese managed to get against Lazio, Udinese has now managed to climb from 15th place to 13th place. And yes, that's quite a big advantage for Udinese. but also a big loss for Lazio. Because now Lazio will find it increasingly difficult to improve their ranking in the standings.

And I'm sure many people lost their bets on the Lazio vs Udinese match. Because no one would have guessed that Udinese could beat Lazio in that match. However, fortunately it was not only Lazio who did not manage to get full points. But several other strong teams were only able to get a draw in this week's match. For example Napoli, Roma, Fiorentina, Juventus and Atalanta. Everyone only collects 1 point. This makes Lazio not too far behind in the standings.

I was wrong in predicting this match, at the start I predicted that Lazio would probably win, because they were playing at home and they were actually playing better overall this season. However, it seems that the negative results they achieved in the last few matches affected what they got in this match too, so they had to suffer a third consecutive defeat, clearly this was a bad result they got.

In terms of play, they actually controlled the course of the match, but that alone was not enough to enable them to win this match. Even the goals they were able to get came from opposing players' own goals. Udinese managed to create at the start of the second half, and it seemed like they knew very well that early minutes like that are risky minutes for a team because usually they cannot fully concentrate, and they were able to take advantage of that. This result made Lazio record their 12th defeat in Serie A this season. Meanwhile for Udinese, this result means they can slowly improve their ranking in the standings.

Currently, Juventus' performance is a bit disappointing because they have lost the opportunity to regain the title they have always won, even though they have a very big opportunity to win the league but Juventus are not able to take advantage of it well and are actually getting further away from Inter Milan who are at the top standings. I don't know what's wrong with Juventus this season. The mentality of the Juventus players doesn't seem to have the motivation to have the ambition to win the league title. They seem to play like players in general. We can see from the total goals scored by Juventus this season, they are not really like the Juventus we have known for a long time this is with the strong performance they have had over the years.

Indeed, seeing the appearance of Inter Milan, who seems to be playing very well this season, makes it a little difficult for Juventus to compete, but that doesn't mean that Juventus can't because if Juventus continues to put pressure on Inter Milan then Juventus still has a chance to win the title, but instead they lose points in several matches so making the distance with Inter Milan even further and now Juventus no longer has the opportunity to catch up, and currently Juventus' position is in 3rd place because the previous position has been taken over by Milan because Juventus only achieved a draw against Atalanta while Milan themselves took advantage of that moment to achieve victory and overtake Juventus.

So will Napoli new coach also be fired after this? 
It's so bad that Napoli management is destroying its own club and confusing the players. With every change of coach there is always a change in strategy and of course the players have to adapt to the strategy given by the new coach which makes it difficult for the coaches to perform as strong as last season because whatever happens to the Napoli players. just do what the coach says and I believe that soon Napoli will change their coach.
I remember when the president of Napoli said he wanted Napoli to win the Champions League trophy but indirectly destroyed his club in a very ridiculous way, even playing against Barcelona without any ability.
In Serie A, I'm not sure Napoli will be able to reach the best position at the end of the season even though they don't have matches scheduled in other competitions, but still Napoli has lost its glory days.

It seems that many people suspected that Barcelona would ultimately win the match easily. In fact, I personally am also grateful for betting on Barcelona. We can't really hope for Napoli at the moment. In fact, I doubt they can handle the remaining 10 games of the season in Serie A well. The reason is that there are several matches that will be difficult for them to win, for example against Inter Milan, Atalanta, Milan, Roma and even Bologna. So I personally even doubt that Napoli will be able to finish in the European league zone.

But if you look at the difference in points between Roma and Napoli, which is not much different at the moment, then the opportunity is still wide enough for Napoli to catch up with Roma in points, which is currently ranked 5th. But the problem is that Roma is currently much more consistent than Napoli. Roma became better after De Rossi arrived to fill the coaching bench there.

Napoli was eliminate by Barcelona with the final result 3-1 and just like i said before this result is predictable because if we see based on head to head statistics Napoli was never able to win from Barcelona since 2020 even when they playing at Camp Nou Napoli always be lost especially during this season Napoli has got plenty of issues which makes their performance is decline and it also causes Napoli have to change the manager several times and these factors is makes some people predict Barcelona without any problem can able to overcomes Napoli and it just happend today that Napoli journey have to ended in Champion League

After eliminated on Champion League Napoli will not playing at other competitions unless Serie A only and i think Napoli have to focus for 10 matches remaining if they want to improved their position because if Napoli can be more consistent than now i think there is a chance for Napoli to finish at European zone but their first tested is came from Inter Milan because this weekend they will fight against the strongest team in Serie A and if Napoli can able to beat this team then i am sure it can boosted their morale to facing upcoming match but unfortunately it's not easy to beat Inter Milan even it is very hard because Inter Milan is too consistent among all of Serie A teams

I'm sure Lazio was upset because they lost the critical 3 points against a weak opponent in their home field. Immobile is far from its previous performance this year. They are 9th in the league and I think this is a big surprise. They managed to get out of the groups in the UCL and even managed to beat Bayern Munich in the first match. Scores like this push Lazio back.

In this match, especially in the first half, the match was actually quite boring. But in the second half I thought both teams fought very well. And yes, the match is getting more interesting. 3 goals were even created in the second half. It's just that I was quite disappointed with the draw that Juventus got. Because in this match I hope Juventus can play better and win the match. Because he was the host of the match. But it looks like Juventus' decline in performance is really happening. And because of this draw, Juventus had to let their ranking be shifted by Milan.

Despite the low position Udinese are in the table compare to Lazio position in the Italian league table, Udinese made their coach proud in the home of Lazio by defeated Lazio 0-2 without allowed them to equalize the goal or score a single goal from the match. Lazio defenders didn't performed well in that match because the way Udinese strikers gain the two opportunity to scored the two goals surprised many people that was watching the match and it make Lazio players to reduced strength from the match. Since Lazio coach was not happy about what happened in that match, I believe he will do something that will make his team to win their next match to make their fans happy again.

It seems like there is no need to change the coach because after all Alegri managed to give good results for Juventus as we saw previously Juventus when they got points deducted last season but Alegri's intelligence gave Juventus a finish in 7th place even though it initially discouraged Juventus fans but Alegri managed to help Juventus get the best results.
This season, Alegri also succeeded in bringing Juventus almost to the Scudetto title when all the popular clubs were busy and focused on arranging match strategy in the UCL or UEL and managed to reach first place even though in the end it was shifted again by Inter and until now it has been shifted by Milan because These are indeed the maximum results provided by Alegri.
We should not blame the coach because Juventus has only lost its consistency and there is still hope for the next season, the most important thing is that this season they will get the best position to get a UCL ticket.

I agree with you. The overall performance of Lazio players was very good. Lazio players tried to dominate the match. At the same time, the group has also carried out many attacks. 70% of the ball possession in this match Lazio players. They also managed 18 shots, 6 of which were on target. Lazio's overall performance was very good. If the attacking players had performed a bit better, or if the attacking players had not missed so many easy chances, Lazio would not have lost this match.



I would say Udinese were tactical in this match. And that's why they were able to win. Udinese's players have 30% ball possession. In this match, Udinese kept their defense strong, and tried to break Lazio's defense by counter-attacking. Udinese players managed to make some excellent counterattacks. This is why the team was able to take a 2-0 lead in just 6 minutes of the second half. After taking a 2-0 lead, Udinese played their usual defensive strategy. And finally scored 3 points from the match.

If you say Lazio lost the game, I will agree, but if you say they didn't perform well in the game just because they lost, I won't agree with that. Lazio played their best in the game, and if it wasn't for luck, Udinese wouldn't have had the chance to win them. I can say you didn't even watch the match. That is why you just conclude, after seeing the results, that Lazio didn't play well, because if you had, you wouldn’t have even talked about that. Moreover, even though you didn’t watch the game, you can still go and check the lifescore. If you checked it well, you would have known who really played well. 

Although what everyone is after is the number of goals that determines the performance with is a nice one, if it is for the goals, I will agree that Udinese definitely win the game but Lazio perform more than them because if not for the own goal that Giannetti did, Lazio would have lost against two goals, but they are something that surprises me because Udinese have less hope of winning this game, but to the greatest surprise, they won the game because if you look back to their last five meetings, you will see that Udinese didn’t win even a single game in the last five games but went on a draw twice, so normal no one expected them to win but they did it, which is also a good one.

Honestly, I am quite impressed with Udinese, because in several matches Udinese always surprises us all. For example, when Udinese beat Juventus. In the middle, I think everyone watching the match definitely thought Juventus would win. But in fact Udinese surprised us all by beating Juventus.

Then this time Udinese surprised us all again by successfully beating Lazio with a score of 2-1. Even though in that match Lazio managed to dominate and Lazio also got many opportunities, unfortunately many of these opportunities were wasted. It was all because Udinese's defense was so good that Lazio players had difficulty developing their attacks well. As a result, Lazio always lacks focus when Udinese counterattacks. That's why Lazio suffered defeat.

And talking about Udinese, I think this club has huge potential if it continues to be developed well. Maybe if next season Udinese buys very good forward players, I think Udinese will be able to compete even better in Serie A. Apart from that, in the next match Udinese will face Torino, I think in that match Udinese can definitely bring home another victory.

I am not at all surprised to see a draw in this match. I even bet on the draw. Because in the last 5 matches of these two teams, four matches were drawn and one match was won by Juventus team. Also both Juventus and Atalanta are in somewhat poor form right now. Their performance is very erratic. That's why I predicted the match to be a draw. I won money.

However, the overall condition of the Juventus team is very bad right now. And if this continues, this group will face bigger problems in the future. It is also impossible for them to occupy the second place in the table now. Although Juventus is ahead of Roma by a big gap of 10 points, this gap may be reduced if such irregular and poor performance does not improve. Roma's performance is enough good now, the team is playing well consistently.

Inter Milan dominate Serie A and the league title is nearly on their hands. They are counting down match by match to lift Scudetto and very unlikely they will not get it.

Juventus were considered as a best candidate to beat Inter Milan in Scudetto competition but since January, their performances drop dramatically and now they not only lose Scudetto but also have to fight for a second position against AC Milan. With their latest form, it's not sure Juventus will succeed and take the runner up position as AC Milan are ready to take it too.

---

Napoli with a defeat hours ago against Barcelona in Champions League, will have to return to their home and Serie A with a big task, playing well in last 10 matches and get either a fourth or fifth position in Serie A to be qualified for Champions League 2024 - 2025.

Atalanta should not be a tough opponent for Juventus because it was proven that they managed to balance the game, even though in the first half Atalanta managed to penetrate Juventus' defense.
I think Juventus no longer has a chance to get into the top two positions, and it looks like they have to accept the fact that they will probably only end up in the top three of the standings. Hopefully, next season, Juventus will be successful in fixing this problem and using a new strategy to maximize their performance.
