Yeah Napoli has been excluded in the race since a few months ago their performance dropped dramatically and nothing could be relied upon, mainstay players like Osimhen are also inconsistent in every game and a bad defense completes their bad performance. Currently Napoli only targets tickets to the European League and we can't confirm whether they can get it because there are other competitors there.

By the way today Bologna was defeated by Inter Milan, this means that this opens opportunities for AS Roma to approach the top 4 or win one ticket to the Champions League, will AS Roma manage it? if AS Roma wins in the next fight then they are only one point behind Bologna.

This is not a good result for Napoli if you ask me, they ought to do better than this especially as they played in their home if home advantage is still something important in football. They needed that win to be at the same point with Atalanta at least for now until tomorrow when Atalanta will face Juventus, a match that is also very difficult to decide. With the result Napoli got, even if Atalanta loses to Juventus, they will still be in two points lead over Napoli. This season is really a tough one for some teams that were champions league regulars such as Napoli, Atalanta, and AS Roma.

Napoli who delivered one of the greatest performances in the Italian Serie A last season to win the league title have been very inconsistent this season in the league and even when they seem to have picked up form in their recent games that's made many to think that they're gonna finish the season in the top four of the league table, they still weren't able to beat Torino yesterday despite scoring first in the game. With their result yesterday, I think it's now almost impossible to see them finish the season in the top four. The club new manager who took over the team after two managers were asked to leave the club this season have been impressive with his results and that's why I think he should be pardoned for whatever is going wrong with the club at the moment.
Napoli travel to Spain next week for the second leg of their UEFA champions league round of 16 tie against Barcelona and must win that game to progress to the next round of the competition but for a team like Barcelona who knows how to perform well whenever they're playing at home in the UEFA Champions League competition, I think it'll be very difficult for Napoli to get a good result in that particular game.

I think Napoli missed a big chance this weekend as Bologna lost their game and Napoli dropped two important points in the fight for the top four positions. It's 7 points now, but this shouldn't have happened. It would make a huge difference if it were only 5 points instead of 7 points. 10 games are left to be played and Napoli isn't stable at the moment.

If Napoli still wants to achieve something to save the season, they have to win the remaining games, but I know that it is not very probable for them to do that. They could be finally falling apart after playing an impressive last season. The coach is gone, Osimhen could be gone. I don't think they will be able to repeat a season like last one anytime soon.

Napoli now have 44 points, and if they had won it would have been 46, Bologna lost to Inter and they had 51 left and we can say that Napoli missed the opportunity to reduce the gap. But in fact, there is still a huge distance between Napoli and Bologna (for such a small distance), plus there are other clubs like Atalanta and Roma that will be difficult to bypass. In fact, in the tournament sense, nothing has changed for Napoli, but psychologically the result is unpleasant. Maybe their thoughts are already in the Champions League game, and the result of the game with Torino will not affect them, it’s good if that’s the case.

Although inter Milan won their game but then I still wasn't impressed well enough so I'd rather not give credit to their victory but will say that getting the three points to still stay at the top of the table which was the most important thing was actually achieved, they have successfully kept the point difference between them and the team behind them even much more bigger giving the teams behind them lesser chances of getting to them.

Inter Milan got only a goal in the early minutes of the first half after which they were unable to secure another till the end of the game, the first and only goal of the match did came in at the thirty seventh minutes of the first half which got inter Milan a lead in the first half and after that they were unable to secure another through the first half and even in the second half, it was even more intensed because inter went all in to see if they would be able to further secure a goal adding to that which they have already got but sadly they ended the second half goalless.

Inter Milan is now currently at the top of the table with seventy five points having won all of their last five games without loosing or drawing any, they have been on a winning streak recently and they are now  twenty two points ahead of Juventus, that's quite a Long distance I doubt Juventus will be able to make up for but will rather have to just settle for the second position on the table and hope to do better next season.

The was just like a getaway game for Inter because Bologna did put a lot of pressure on Inter and Inter was just lucky enough to have been able to score because first of all Bologna  3 shots on target and six shots on target if not they lacked the creativity to score they would have been able to win inter because they were more dedicated and showed more devotion than inter but since the game ended 1:0  and from the stats it shows that Bologna possessed inter it was a sixty against forty so it was good news for inter but I know that Bologna is not happy because they tried there best during the game. and painful when you try your best and at the end of the day you still do not win. better luck for them next time and with this performance, they might have the chance of winning their next game.

Yea they are 18 points ahead of Juventus, who still have an outstanding match to play tomorrow against Atlanta. If Inter can win all the rest of their matches, it is possible for them to break Juventus highest point in Seria A which is 102 points.

Inter this season has been very lucky, and no matter how difficult they find the match they will always struggle to win the match. This has made them to give Juventus a very big gap difference. I am expecting a better performance from them on Wednesday night in Spain. Inter has being so consistent in their matches, which makes me think that it will be impossible for them not to be able to qualify to the next round.

Napoli wasted the opportunity to move up the rankings again, the match against Torino should have been easy, because previously they played well when they met Juventus. Maybe Napoli cannot be completely trusted this season, betting on their victory is quite risky and requires a lot of consideration.

Playing with his best squad, in front of his own supporters, and again failing to get closer to the top four. 8 draws and 8 defeats in 28 matches, personally I think Napoli will miss the Champions League next season. It has been very difficult to finish in the top four, with inconsistent performance.

On the other hand, this is a big opportunity for Napoli to overtake Atalanta, where Atalanta will face Juventus tomorrow. I predicted Atalanta would lose points, but unfortunately Napoli failed to take advantage of the opportunity even though they did not lose to Torino. As defending champions, Napoli should be able to finish in the top four of the standings.

Inter in the end won.

They are now at +18 from the second and they can attack the all time record of point of Conte with Juventus of 102 points.

They can reach 105.

Didn't you know that Napoli have made a change of coach, that Mazzarri has been fired and Napoli appointed Francesco Calzona as his replacement. The results can be considered good because after all, Francesco Calzona first match to become Napoli manager was playing in the Champion League against Barcelona and until now Francesco Calzona managed to make Napoli not get a defeat after five matches that have been played. Amazingly too, Francesco Calzona managed to make Napoli win big against Sassuolo with a score of 6-1 and then Francesco Calzona managed to make Napoli beat Juventus with a score of 2-1 . Althoughindeed, in the match that has just been completed Francesco Calzona failed to make Napoli beat Torino but even so, that Napoli still has good statistics in this match and thus, I think Napoli is currently better than before.

I wasn't really surprised by that result, even though Napoli have had good results in several matches, but in my opinion they are no longer the scary team they were under Spalletti. This season, Napoli has had to accept the bitter reality due to management errors in managing the team because until this week they are still in 7th place. I think it will be difficult for Napoli to get back up to compete at the top. And Napoli's appearance really made fans angry.

Basoni Alassandro sharp cross landed on the head of Yann Bisseck who scored in a superb style on the 37th minutes. It is only that goal that has been scored in this match, as Inter is finding it difficult of finding the back of the net the second time. Bologna lost a lot of chances that would have made them to win this match, but they were not lucky enough to equalize the match. I think that Inter do not want to take this match too serious because they are preparing for their champion league match against Atletico Madrid who lost 2-0 to Cadiz today.

Napoli is really not doing all that well anyway, so this didn't really change all that much for them. Not like they were about to be in top four and barely missed out, that's not the situation we are in and that means we are not going to end up with anything crazy anyway.

We should realize that it's part of the bad season they are having. I know it sucks for their fans to see it change this much, and that is not that good at all, but we should probably see the situation to be a little bit different, and not really all that easy to handle. I feel like it has to be something that needs to be taken care of, and the best way to do that would be focusing on the manager, because after their manager change they started to be so bad, they need a better one.

Inter is winning once again.
This is a good news for everyone behind them but not for Bologna ofcourse.

Motta is doing a incredible season, where he will be next year? in Milan?

This was an unfortunate result and I didn’t expect the match to end like this because Napoli as we all thought were back to their winning ways and would have won the match against Torino yesterday, whom are a smaller team when compared to Napoli. A draw is still a fair result to me, at least they had to share the points with them and not lose all three points. Their next match should be full with a lot of courage and confidence and not allow themself to be regard by the result in the Serie A game. They will get over it and play well in their next match against Barcelona which is expected to be more competitive than the Serie A match.

1-1 draw isn't really a bad result in my opinion, considering the fact that they got a Champions League game to play next week, at least they got a point, which is much better than losing the game, I kind of think their performance was really affected due to the fact that they got a bigger match ahead to face, and those players played in such a way that they won't sustain any injuries that could spoil their chances of winning their Champions League game come next week.

They didn't deserve a draw if we go by match statistics, but that's how it was, they managed to score the first goal and in a short time Torino managed to equalize the score which means Napoli played carelessly by allowing their defense to be easily broken by Torino. It's true what you said, they don't have any mission anymore in the league, everyone has gone in this competition, the only thing they can possibly fight for is the UCL competition, what they need next is a win, hopefully they can play well there later.

57 minutes have been played in this match and as expected, inter is leading right now. The current score is 1-0. Of course, there is still quite a long time to go in this match. But I believe Inter should still be able to win this match. The first goal came from a defender though. Anyway inter has not been able to dominate the match by themselves to be honest even though they are leading. They are getting a good competition from their opponent. Let's see if they end up conceding or not.

good luck

Barely 11 weeks left to the end of the season and Napoli are long behind Bologna, yes, they'd want to strive to gain enough points so as to get tickets unto next season's European contests but it'll be a difficult task for them because even if they managed to cover up the points gap now, how can they be so sure that Bologna would sit back and be consistently poor in these last weeks. Last season, Napoli were a better side even in season's before last but this season, there's been a big switch to that and now it's seeming like a difficult task. Most less active teams of before have now taken it up on themselves to make long lasting differences this season and they've sure been consistent at it. It'll be difficult to break small teams as they've just developed a hidden confidence and strength to maintain their stiffness and just keep being ahead this season.

 Napoli can only reduce the track of points gaps between the teams but I'll really be longing that they're able to outstand and come on top the table to ensure the ticket  is kept intact.Yesterday's game would have been a bit of a push to the top spot on the Serie A table for Napoli but sadly they weren't able to maximize their chances and advantages possessed which in turn ended the game in a draw against Torino who are currently a team not really fighting for the top spot and have as well been able to secure their safe spot on the league table. A 3 point victory is very much essential for Napoli. Just 10 games left and they've got a task of finishing the season in the fourth placed position on the league standings.

 They don't have to continue the season at this tempo and performance rate either. Their last games have been fruitful and it's believed that they can still make a difference, just that yesterday's game would have been an added advantage for them. They were the host and so they should have garnered up all useful paces in them to cover up the position they are just to be able to get out of it. Let's just watch how the next weeks would turn out for them and hopefully they'll be able to make bigger use of the chances before them to finish the season at a positive spot.
