The Italian side recently haven't had good strides in their league tussles and it's effect is gradually going to be seen. They ought to cover up their lapses but they aren't having what it takes. It only costed them a lot as care wasn't taking to repair these losses. There was no time left and their contests on the league tables were shaky, Mazarri only had to find a way around his team to cushion the drastic effects of their recent performances but since he couldn't they had to get a replacement that'll be able to place them rightly. Well the new coach hasn't really made any big impact but so far, the team's performance have been better, they're even far more competitive and aggressive on the pitch as they used to and kudos to their forward man and the team in general who have been striving to remain at the peak of their performances.
 
 They were able to gain the three points against Juventus, which is definitely a boost and push for them. One would hope that this tempo is maintained till the end of the season because it's only that way that the team would finish at a meaningful spot in the Serie A table. Their forth coming games hopefully will derive a better results for them at the end of the season too but if they can successfully conquer this season to some reasonable extent, it'll be advisable that they work generally on the management aspect of the squad as positive changes would need to be made by next season.

 Barely 4 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.

Sossuolo have had a tough decade, they haven't really improved significantly and never got the Serie A trophy, he had to go back to the B league to get the trophy again, it's unfortunate but they are aware of their limitations and they are currently preparing to compete again in serie B and I think there they have a greater chance of getting a win than in serie A because the competition is quite strong apart from the resources, abilities and facilities on the team really affect how a team develops well.

Losing to Lecce was quite disappointing, but if they can take advantage of their last match it is still enough to get out of the relegation zone, but the circumstances that make me not confident with them.

The change of coach is the main indicator why Napoli experienced a significant decline in performance, even though Luciano Spalletti left an almost intact squad for the manager after him, but setbacks cannot be avoided. Rudi Garcia, Walter Mazzarri and now Francesco Calzona have failed to bring Napoli to their target, which in my opinion means that the defending Serie A champions will also fail to finish in the European zone at the end of the season. It is clear that this is the worst season for Napoli, and it is also not certain that they will rise to become a team challenging for the Scudetto next season if they release their star players again.

In the last summer transfer window, they released one of their best defenders, Kim Min Jae, to Bayern Munich, then management failed to find a suitable replacement to cover the hole left behind. Now it is rumored that Victor Osimhen will also choose to leave the club in the next transfer window, which I think is the right decision for the Nigerian player. Expectations for Napoli have now dropped, it is quite difficult to build a solid squad again like last season, and it is also quite difficult to find a manager who suits what they need club.

Sassuolo has not been particularly lucky this year, between injuries and controversial episodes they are about to prepare for their return to Serie B. Yet this team has potential! They were the only one to beat Inter this season and now they can no longer get points against direct competitors for salvation, yet there are still five matches to go before the end of the championship and they can still achieve salvation and not relegate to the minor league

Game over and 3 points for Atalanta in today's match.
Daniel Maldini provided a consolation goal towards the end but it wasn't enough as in the end Atalanta's 2-goal lead didn't allow them to get nervous in the final minutes.
With this result Atalanta continue to stick to Roma in 5th place at the moment and I like this considering Atalanta is one of the clubs that I quite like where their players seem balanced but always give a good surprise in every season they always run.

Although last season they were a little shaky but it looks like this season they don't want to repeat the same mistakes and the positive results they showed towards the end of this season made the competitive situation in Serie A even more interesting.

It is not very surprising to see Juventus can't get full points against Cagliari because Juventus has dropped their performance in the last few matches. It is not so different with the last 2 seasons, they always wasted the chance of collecting full points toward the end of the season. Allegri is a typical coach who can't focus in the remaining matches in second half of the season. I don't understand why Allegri always did it, I think it is because he often gets a dismissal issue when the season is almost over. Honestly, it is very annoying to see Juventus performing very inconsistently when it is in crucial time.

I don't think Juventus will be lucky. We don't know if Roma could steal points against Bologna. Bologna is a strong team and they will try all out to catch Juventus. If Bologna can beat Roma, they have a chance to overtake Juventus position in 3rd place. However, Juventus will be safe in UCL zone, they will end the season in 4th place at least.

From the beginning after the change of several coaches, it was already seen that for this season there was no hope for Napoli because they were very difficult to maintain the momentum they had built.
At the moment let alone to be in the Champions League zone, for Napoli to be in the Europa League also seems impossible if the performance is always like this and they have to accept the fact that this season is the worst season for them during the last few seasons they have always done their job well.


This is clearly unfortunate even though they are one of the big forces for Serie A in this period but indeed this season after they won last season it looks like Napoli returned to their factory suit in the past few seasons where Napoli only had to legowo be in the middle standings.

The departure of Spalletti changed everything in Napoli. The players motivation dropped, their game style be disordered, and the players become undisciplined. With this condition, it is very difficult to expect the players to play consistently. The new coaches failed to solve the problems, they even made it worse. Rudi Garcia, Walter Mazzarri, and Francesco Calzona never improved anything in Napoli. So, it is inevitable to see Napoli be an average team again.

Actually, we all know that Napoli is no longer the same as Napoli in the last season. After Spalletti left the team, the team suddenly becomes a weak team again. So, we can't expect much on this team, they have no winning mentality anymore. Even if they ever became a strong team in the past, it was just a story of Napoli in the previous season.

I don't see this team to improve their performance in the next season. I think everything will remain the same as long as Napoli fails to hire a proper coach. So far, Napoli only hired average coaches, I am not really surprised if Napoli can't play better. I even think the next season may be a worse season  for Napoli if Osimhen and other hey players leaving Napoli.

If you compare Napoli performance this season with last season, of course there is quite a big difference because Napoli this season is really weak and unable to show their good strength this season. Some of the star players who helped Napoli win the Scudetto last season, in fact this season they haven't shown their best qualities at all. Napoli is currently stuck in 8th place and in my opinion Napoli have no more chance of achieving their target of finishing in 4th position because they are already far behind Bologna.

Yes, in yesterday match, Empoli was able to embarrass Napoli because Empoli managed to come out as winners. If we look at Empoli of course they are not a strong team but they managed to beat the defending champions. It is still difficult for the Napoli coach to raise the quality of his players because there has been a change of coach this season, but in fact they are still having difficulty rising from their downturn.

Actually focusing on attacking is a brilliant idea if Atlanta is able to keep to it well enough but whats actually not enough is in the fact that they will most definitely not be able to maintain it long enough through the game a s Atlanta I'd a team that doesn't really have an attacking kind of mentality and most of their tactics isn't attack oriented so them now trying to be an attacking team in this game is actually not going to be sustainable enough.

The advantage Atlanta will be having is that the team they will be facing isn't a tough team neither bare they weak but then they are such that they can be handled if only Atlanta is able to be very tactical about their approach and making sure they identify their points of opportunity with Monza then they can be sure to get complete three points off that game because I'm very sure Monza isn't going to promise an easy game not for any reason so they are most definitely going to be able to making sure they are going to defend too as they wouldn't want to concede too many goals.

Monza this season hasn't really been of great performance and so they may aswell not been really hard enough for Atlanta even if Atalanta is just an average team like them but then by the record Atlanta seem to have recorded much more better performance than Monza has done this season So i doubt if they are even appearing strong but then they have what may be seen as relatively fair depth as compared to their opponent.

Juventus dropping points against Cagliari could become a costly mistake although they can be lucky that Roma is now taking on Bologna and points will be dropped. But Roma is still two games behind and if they win the game that was suspended against Udinese and then the game against Bologna, the table could be looking very scary for Juventus. I thought they had been through already weeks ago, but didn't think that they would start dropping points nonstop. A win against Bologna would definitely be the decisive step for Roma to make the Champions League qualification possible. De Rossi is doing a pretty good job and Mourinho must be asking himself what was going on with the team under his management.

I don't think Milan will be able to postpone Inter Scudetto celebration party tomorrow, although we understand the purpose of the derby match between the two teams, but we can clearly see the strength and consistency of the two teams this season, in my opinion Inter is slightly better. The best result that Milan could possibly achieve is holding Inter to a draw, but in my opinion the Inzaghi fleet doesn't want to share the points and postpone their party.

Currently Milan is experiencing a decline in performance, especially after being beaten by Roma in the Europa League in two legs, so I think Inter are favorites in this match. Indeed, there are no guarantees, and it is possible that Milan will be able to create a turning point in performance and avenge their defeat in the first half of the season.

In essence, the Milan derby match will not have a big impact, because Inter just wants to lock in the Scudetto more quickly and Milan wants to solidify its position in second place in the standings. On the other hand, there is another quite interesting match tomorrow where Bologna will face Roma, we know that this is a competition to win a place in the Champions League zone.

What can Napoli expect now after management ruined Napoli's performance?
I say this because it is very clear that initially everything was fine when Spalletti became Napoli's coach, but Napoli very stupidly fired Spalletti and that's when Napoli's downfall was seen, while the coach managed to give an initial sign of Napoli's improvement in Serie A.
Empoli deserved to beat Napoli and it was not luck because in the early minutes Empoli was able to steal 1 score from Napoli and that is the bad thing about Napoli at the moment that you should avoid betting on every match of this club.

After this season is over and if Napoli continues to try to use the trend of changing coaches in succession, Napoli's future will definitely get worse and will even become like a weak club.

Sassuolo lost again today and now their situation is critical.
Without their key players Berardi they can't compete.

With this pace they will probably relegated back in serie B after a decade in Serie A.

This happens when you only think about profit and you keep selling your best players.

The problem Napoli is currently facing has got a whole lot to do with their management and the way the team is actually been coordinated because before now when they had some kindempo of stability in their management the team was actually see as one of the prestigious in the whole of the Italian league, although they have not been really characterized with outstanding and productive performance but then they had some respect

Until last season they weren't a really top team and after last season that they were able to break out of the long streak of been not productive enough they needed sustainability to help them keep up with such that they were able to achieve las season but sadly they allowed negligence made them feel they will be able to still achieve such results again without having to really do much and that was the beginning of the crisis in the team the point the got to change their coach and since then the rest has been history. Napoli needs to do a whole lot of improvement if not they may never get to lift the trophy again not even in the following season.

 Empoli is actually even doing much better then Napoli and this may actually get Napoli to be in terrible position especially in the fact that they were performing against such a weak team as I'd they were playing against an average team which should be seen in their level i think it will even get worse by next season when their key player will be leaving them as he's not willing to stay back because he wasn't giving the honor due him as some one who got them the trophy after a very long time.

With this information it seem that atalanta willy fully focus on attacking and despite monza also.let see what will really happen at the end of the match. But from my observations the favorite team to win game is Atlanta because it seem their more in form than monza,  despite that Atalanta is not recently consistency. But as the game will be play in monza home I will say that Atlanta will really found the game hard to win but I believe that atalanta will find way to win the game.

There is no hope for Napoli this season, they have experienced something difficult for them to accept which shows inconsistency in their game. Their game has changed very significantly if we compare it to last season, where last season they were able to show very good things, they even had nicknames when kicking off, such as Spaletti kick off. Now they have transformed into an "ordinary" team.
It's a shame that last season they performed very well, whereas this season they have to accept the fact that they have to decline very deeply and even in the standings they can't occupy at least the Champions League zone. This is a sad thing for the team that holds the status of defending champions this season. They have to improve it next season, they have the opportunity to perform even better. They must take advantage of the time they have to make themselves better.

Exactly the point, Napoli has lost that prestige unlike before, the have been unable to secure some point that ordinarily if it were to be before now they would grab them easily, for bettors, no one will like to bet on napoli again because of their poor performance, they have not been in their peak this season, talking about empoli being in the relegation line thougb one thung is for sure, relegation zone teams always play spoiling part more when the season has reach this level thats a fact but for a team like napoli we wernt expecting such degradation, for me i expected that even though napoli didnt win at the end of the day atleast a draw would have been better, they have to really up their game atleast for a little push up in their league before the league comes to the end.

Is it that all their players lost form at the same time or what, because I could remember in the middle of the season Vlahovic was in form, and he do score in almost all their matches, but now it is the opposite. It is quite surprising to see a strong club now vulnerable to defeat by medicore teams.

As for Napoli, I think that the problem the club is facing now is a good coach who will bring them back to the lime light just as what Spalleti did for the club last season. Napoli struggles to draw matches recently.
