Napoli already looks like a team that doesn't do that well, so it is not a shock that they ended up losing. That last goal was a bit more because of Napoli trying to attack and score, so their defense wasn't ready, but the first two goals in the first half was obvious that Atalanta was much better team. Doesn't mean that we are going to end up with anything wrong, we could definitely see them do fine in the end, we just need to let Napoli be bad this season, not expect anything from them and eventually they will get better again.

Last season was anomaly, you do not expect Napoli to win the title, but we can expect them to do better than this season too, I bet that they are going to end up being much better in the end.

Napoli not in any solid shape and this have become a burden for the club's president, Aurelio De Laurentiis who's relentlessly findings solutions to the team's problem and poor shape. I'm quite aware how strong the club was during the tenure of the former coach that resigned after winning the scudetto for Napoli over 30 years, Luciano Spalleti. There will be no better coach than him, he proves himself in events and also in top competition. Napoli will keep surprises alive because they're absolutely not in good shape to balance their winnings.

It was a really huge loss for Napoli home by the way. I never expected such result like most people. I thought Napoli would even win you know. They beat Atalanta once away. But this performance was just horrible. 

It seems like Napoli have given up and don't have any goal left to achieve. I mean their chance for top four was already really low and this result must have ended their remaining hopes. They can at least qualify for another European tournament but with this performance it isn't happening for sure. The players seem really unmotivated so Calzona wouldn't be able to do much in the remaining time period of the season I assume. They will need to get prepared better for next season.

In every major competition we will be presented with competitive matches from representatives of clubs from their respective domestic leagues. Inter Milan has tried its best to reach the final like last season but Inter Milan had to stop its progress in the round of 16 because it was defeated by Atletico Madrid, an elite club. from LaLiga. Indeed, this is very disappointing for Inter Milan and also the fans, but in competition there are always winners and losess. Inter Milan was just unlucky because they failed to take a penalty when facing Atletico Madrid in the second leg.

But that's all in the past, now Inter Milan has to forget all that in order to be able to perform well in the domestic league because if they continue to feel disappointed, it will actually affect the mentality of their players and their performance will decline, making it difficult to compete in Serie A in the hunt for the league title, but because of Inter Milan have widened the gap before facing a tough match in the Champions League so even though the players' mentality is affected it won't last long.

What is certain is that Inter Milan will win the Scudetto this season to reduce the disappointment of their fans. At least this season is not a bad season for Inter Milan because they won trophy domestic league, although it is not a big trophy, but the league title is also an important trophy for elite Serie A clubs.

Sassuolo will fight against Udinese today and during this season both teams has been failed to managed their consistency and this makes they have to fight to avoiding relegation zone especially for Udinese that under new manager Gabriele Cioffi Udinese have no significant progress because since he was handle this team Udinese total has been through an 21 matches in Serie A with him and from those matches Udinese only able to gets 4 wins and 9 draw so although currently Udinese at 14th place but with only 2 differrence points above to the teams from relegation zone obviously their position is not safe and Udinese have to win today to secured their position on league table

For Udinese all of their players in the good fitness and the players such as Lorenzo Lucca, Florian Thauvin and Wallace will be ready to play today and for Sassuolo unfortunately their main striker Domenico Berardi still unable to played because long term injured but luckily Sassuolo still have Andrea Pinamonti who can able to performing well as forward player for Sassuolo and actually it's hard to predict who is the winner of this match because during this season the performance of both teams is really unpredictable but Udinese and Sassuolo have been met on December and they can playing draw at that time and today too i am thinking possibility this match will be ended to draw again and this option has high odds @3.35

Every team have its own strong and weak spot. Lazio that's still struggling to meet up the elite standards are also triumphing over the Old lady's because alot of things have gone wrong for the club. This is no longer the Juventus we all know to be formidable and conqueror in Seria A matches. Looking at their current stats, we quickly noticed about the weakness openly spotted out and Massimiliano Allegri is aiming to fixed it but it's taking so much time.

Before the match started I was quite sure Juventus would be able to beat Lazio, not without reason I favored Juventus in the match because in my opinion Lazio is also in a bad condition at the moment in the league, although actually both teams are in bad condition but in my opinion Juventus is still better than Lazio in terms of squad and also head to head,  But the reality is that at this time Juventus had to get another defeat due to being caught off guard at the end of the game.

I think with the defeat of course the current condition of Juventus will no longer be helped in the standings and their mission to reclaim the number 2 position from Milan has now been difficult because Milan managed to win another match against Fiorentina, currently Juventus are starting to fall in the top 4 of Serie A and will get worse if Bologna manage to win in their week 30 match against Salernitana,  So if Bologna wins, it will certainly make the difference in points between Juventus and Bologna to 2 points, so the possibility of Juventus getting out of the competition Top 4 is likely to happen if Roma can also consistently win, besides that I think it is difficult for Juventus to rise because facing Lazio alone they lost then how could they win when facing Fiorentina, Ac Milan, Roma and Bologna in the remaining games of the season, quite pessimistic to see next season Juventus will return to play in champions league.

Juventus' losing points was no surprise to me honestly. They have already been in a really bad form and this was a tough match for them on paper. But the last minute goal must have devastated Juventus players anyway. Bologna and Roma are quite likely to get much closer to Juventus in the league standings now.

They both have matches they can win tomorrow. If this happens Juventus' Champions League chance can also be under threat. Because as long as this bad form continues they can lose their place in top 4 in the remaining 8 weeks. Scoring problems are likely to cost them quite much. 

Lazio really used the time well towards the end of the match because Lazio was able to put up quite a good fight which made it difficult for Juventus and Lazio also played by dominating the ball well, this victory was a very deserved victory because Juventus' performance was indeed declining and in the last few matches only achieved 1 victory. I don't know what happened to Juventus in the last few matches, they seemed to lose confidence towards the end, even though Juventus' position in the UCL cannot be said to be safe because Bologna is close to Juventus with a close point difference.

The Lazio team was always on the attack from the start, but despite the strong defenses, the Lazio players were not able to make calls easily as the goalkeeper was full of skill. At the end of the game, Marusic was able to score a goal with a header, according to his technique, going into extra time. The goalkeeper is not able to block the goal because he is inattentive and is slightly to the side of the goal line. Juventus team players are mostly experienced but relatively weak. They made attacks but not strong, in the whole match Juventus team had only 9 attacks but one of them was not successful. Juventus lost 1-0 at the end of the game.

Lazio deserved it. Igor has improved the club's performance compared to when Lazio was still using Sarriball as a strategy. Igor helped Lazio play even more offensively than they did when Sarri was still in charge and some minor improvements are also happening for lazio, i can see a pattern from any of lazio's attack which was good. Lazio is much more structured in terms of attack, but the only main point that remains from the club is lazio requires a capable attacker with proper positioning considering lazio could be scored more than it if there would be a good attacker. Lazio has repeatedly attacked Juventus, but due to a lack of good attackers, almost all of Lazio's attacks have failed to result in goals. Juventus is under threat of withdrawing from the UCL spot race. Thanks for marusic by helped lazio to get perfect result in this match. He deserved a lot of credits.

Roma is also closing the gap, as is Bologna, which is currently third in the league. Allegri's situation has become even more difficult as his club is poised to exit the UCL if Juventus continues to lose.
It's ridiculous to see Juventus play completely defensively against Lazio and still lose. Juventus has parked the bus, but it was unable to draw against Lazio, which is a dismal result for Allegri. His dismissal by Juventus management is becoming increasingly likely.

Lets look at bigger range, Juventus last 10 matches result: 2W, 4D, 4L or 10 points out of 30 possible points to grab. They have lost their performance for 2 months, they were better in January but I dont understand why their performance is dropped significantly. Not only bad on the final result of every match they play but also really bad in terms of strategy, ball possession and other things regardless which team they were playing against. Something need to be done by Allegri to boost their performance in the last 8 remaining matches if they want to stay in the top 4 at the end of the season. If they keep doing like this, it wont be a surprise if they will not qualify for the CL or even Europa League next season.

That late goal was enough to give Lazio a home win against Juventus in the Italy Serie A league. Lazio has been a strong club in Serie A for the past few years, and they know how to beat big clubs in the Serie A league. I know Lazio could beat Juventus because, ever since Juventus lost the Serie A title race to Inter Milan, Juventus has been inconsistent in the Serie A league. 

As I was expecting to see another failure from Massimiliano Allegri. I think the best Juventus can do is to get Allegri fired from this team before it gets late and make the team ready for the next season. In fact, Juventus could have won the Serie A title easily in this season because they were not playing in the Champions League like Inter Milan and they could have had a much more and better chance to rest between the games but they didn't do that.
Juventus lost the game against Lazio with a 1-0resuolt and Adam Marušić the Montenegrin player of Lazio scored the goal for his team in this match, However, this match was about to end with a draw but Lazio scored the goal in 90+3' in this match.

If Juventus are still in the top 4 until the end of the season, Allegri will not be fired. because there is nothing they can do after failing to compete with Inter Milan. In addition, I have also said that there is no need to expect more to Juventus in the coming matches because it does not have an impact on their position in the standings  yeah you know Juventus, they are a team full of controversy. By the way, Atalanta beat Napoli this means that Atalanta is ready to return to get a ticket to the European League and they are only 1 point behind.

Unfortunately, Napoli in this match against Atalanta failed to win and lost 3-0, which was a very embarrassing achievement because last season Napoli managed to become champions of the Serie A League. In the last five matches, Napoli also only managed to win 2 matches and the rest were draw and defeat in this match. Hopefully the new coach who was brought in at Napoli will not have the same fate as the previous coach who only coached for a short time after which he left and was replaced by another coach.

So your opinion is that the coach won the games last season but not the players? I just want to understand where you are coming from, but as far as I remember Spalletti has never been wearing a jersey and scored goals or took free kicks or saved the ball when there were shots on target from their opponents. It is your opinion that with Spalletti they would have won the Scudetto again, but without Spalletti it was obvious that they would turn into a losing team. Hm, this is interesting, but does that mean that whatever club Spalletti will train next will also win the title no matter what which league it is? Maybe you know more than me, but I think Spalletti has done a great job and a lot of things worked out. Alonso is going to win the Bundesliga and since he now won the Bundesliga he has to win the Bundesliga next season as well, right? Because it is Alonso. It has nothing to do with the players.

FT for Milan vs Fiorentina, even though Milan won by a narrow margin, it also demonstrated that Milan is still substantially better than Fiorentina from this game. I'm glad to see RLC scoring in this match, it shows how good he is, as does Leao, who is also putting his name on the scoreboard at this game.
Fiorentina is a tough opponent, as evidenced by its ability to perform consistently across all minutes and it was also making milan to face some difficulties at some moments. These three points are critical for Acmilan to ensure that its club secures a UCL spot for next season due to Intermilan's ownership of the Scudetto.

There is no chance for acmilan to stick to the intermilan because the gap is too large. I recall hearing rumors that Italiano, Fiorentina's coach, was being considered as a replacement for Pioli.
The outcome of this match demonstrated that the Italiano is not even better than the Pioli itself who would be sacked by acmilan and it's a wise decision to keep him. It also confirms this. There is no need to change coaches if the replacement is Italiano from Fiorentina.

I would prefer to see Spalletti stay for another season because he is very important to the club until Acmilan can find a suitable candidate to replace him as manager. I hope Milan can find someone capable enough to replace Pioli soon.
As long as it is not a coach with even lower performance than Pioli, I'm fine with it. Milan requires someone who can push the players to play beyond their capabilities.

All blames should be on the management for them poor handling of the coach that won them the Seria A Competition last season. I don't know what happened between them both, but they shouldn't have let him go that way. It was the early stages of the season and his exit affected the players.

They're far from qualifying for the Champions League Competition as the current situations stands. It was a great game for Atalanta those two goals from the first half was even enough to decide the game. Last goal was indeed fabulous one that lad really deserves a bigger team next season. I won't be surprised seeing him leaving.

For Juventus, I'm sure they'll part ways with Max Allegri. I'm not so sure they'll entertain all of these. They should do all they can to go for the next Champions League Competition. The run of bad games gradually increasing.

Napoli had had good weeks, in fact, they were starting to recover in terms of points, and they gave the impression that they would go consistently, just like the game they played last season. I don't understand why they were so bad in this match. They showed a lower performance than Atlanta and conceding three goals was enough to make Napoli look weak once again.

They lost to Juventus today, their match was again a closer match. Atlanta officially dispersed Napoli today. The pressure of this score will be heavy for Napoli in the coming weeks.
