The match between Napoli vs Atalanta will be opening match for games week 30 after international break out almost two week, right now some teams fight top fourth position standings and some other teams try out from relegation zone. Napoli still drop on 7th position standings and try for getting Champion League or Europe League spot standings and has three difficult matches left from Atalanta, AS Roma and Bologna will be team loss points for Napoli.
Last match, Napoli success hold draw Inter Milan and must be capital for facing Atalanta in front of their home and take three points to make easily reach Europe League spot place. The other interested match on games week 30 between Juventus vs Lazio, both teams have bad trend performance and Juventus want to get top fourth position must defeat Lazio in this week or potential drop from fourth position standings place and fail qualify to champion league.

This is different from the peak of the temporary class. Inter already look comfortable with a gap of 14 points.  Even Napoli who were very superior last season were missing from the top 3 for this season. There are still 9 games, ranked 13-19 still have a chance to kill each other to stay safe playing in Serie A next season.  But for Selernitana it seems to take a miracle with the victory of all the remaining matches and that seems impossible.

In the first meeting of these two clubs this season in the Italy Serie A, Napoli won against Atalanta at home in the Serie A. Napoli will use home advantage to beat Atalanta in the league. Napoli can't win the Serie A title this season because Inter Milan is leading Napoli with big points. Even though Inter Milan decides to lose the remaining matches in Serie A, Napoli will not win the Serie A title this season.

The upcoming Napoli vs Atalanta fixture indeed promises to be an intriguing encounter, especially considering the implications it holds for both teams in the Serie A standings. Napoli have situation that they must win this game to get the gap closer considering Atalanta still have a game in hand that makes them could create a much wider if they win against Napoli. Securing a place in the Europa League zone is undoubtedly a realistic target for Napoli, given their form is not at their best.

A win against Atalanta would undoubtedly boost their chances of achieving this goal, providing them with valuable momentum as they strive to secure European football for the next season. While facing Atalanta is no easy task, Napoli has shown their resilience and ability to compete with top teams, as evidenced by their recent draw against Inter Milan. This result shows their real capabilities, and they will likely approach the match against Atalanta with confidence and determination. With their recent form and aspirations for European qualification in mind, Napoli will undoubtedly be motivated to secure a positive result against Atalanta.

Yeah indeed we cannot underestimate one team but we also have to understand that they have a reason for that, Atalanta played badly lately so that they thought Atalanta would lose more points, especially when fighting a strong team.like Napoli and they play away.

Indeed, lately the match in Serie A is more difficult to predict, we are fooled in several matches that we consider easy but in the end it ended not as expected, I have mentioned several teams that have the potential to miss points in some easy games they are teams that do not have any target in the race for tickets to the European League and the Champions League. Inter Milan is one of them, they are safe at the top of the standings and just waiting for the season to end.

By playing at home and with Atalanta's performance, which is indeed experiencing problems where in the last 4 matches they only got 2 draws and 2 defeats, it is very reasonable that Napoli will be the favorites in this match but on the other hand for the last few seasons Atalanta has always been one of the clubs that is quite troublesome for their opponents because Atalanta, although they do not have star players who can really be considered the backbone of a club, their cooperation is actually very good and it can undermine the spirit of the opponent even for big clubs so this must be a consideration for Napoli that this match will not be easy.

Napoli can still get 3 points if indeed they can take advantage of the momentum of playing home but they must remain wary of the movement of Atalanta in this match because after all when a club that is quite solid from cooperation and they will fight a club bigger than them then as much as possible they will definitely do the match more defensively and it is not impossible to find a match result for a draw so Napoli must be able to minimize that if they want 3 points.

Yes your points are valid but it is not good to underestimate a club like Atalanta because if you do, you may be surprised at what you will see tomorrow. No doubts Napoli have a very good record against Atalanta, winning them back to back last season and already defeated them in their first meeting of this season. It is more convenient to assume that they will also collect this three points especially as they are now playing at home. Napoli actually need this winning so they have to fight real hard to get it so as to keep their hope of Europa next season alive.

I agree that Napoli is the favorite team to win the match because Napoli looks to have a better stats. Moreover, it will be a home match for Napoli and 3 points is important if Napoli still wants to finish in the top 5 or top 4 at the end of the season. Sure, it is the good chance to overtake Atalanta in 6th place temporarily. Although Atalanta still has 1 unplayed match, but it will be easier to overtake Atalanta if Napoli can get 3 points in the upcoming match.

If we look at the current 5 matches, Napoli looks better. Napoli got 0 lose, they win 2 matches. Meanwhile Atalanta looks having bad stats, they only won 1 match, they got 2 loses and 2 draws. This is the right time to beat Atalanta because Atalanta is in bad performance lately. Napoli shouldn't miss this opportunity because it probably won't return in the future.

While we are getting close to the game between Lazio and Juventus, the thing about this match is about Allegri and what he said before the match. I was expecting to see Juventus aiming for the Serie A title because of the chance they had and because they are not playing in the Champions Leauge but it seems this goal is out of reach for Juventus and Allegri just started talking about getting the Champions League ticket.
For a team like Juventus, that's too cheap to think about this goal because I was expecting to see much more from this team.
Now while they are going to play against Lazio I think that's even not surprising to see Juventus losing some points and Lazio winning this match.

These elite teams will never relent this season, they will find ways to hook up together. Winning the scudetto have become challenging for these teams and we know that only the stable teams will be able to earn the winning points. Inter Milan are the only team leading #1 on the table and they don't understand or comprehend the current changes of the Seria A table. Taking closer watch on Inter Milan and AC Milan, both team fighting really hard to be in the close range this season.

Napoli has been in a series of decline in most recent times and it has really affected their results and has aswell also their position on the table making it not possible to be able to defend the trophy as the defending champions this season again, but then they can be able to try to finish amongst top four as they still have an opportunity with that this season but they don't have the chance of defending the trophy.

The problem of Napoli this season began after they had issues with one of their key player who had been of great impact to the team and after that it's been so different as he's not even performing as he should for.the team and the team is suffering it and at some point he was absent in the fact that he went to participate in the African cups of nations whenever he had to defend his country but then Atlanta has just generally been average this season, not with a really poor performance but that which could be enough to probably challenge Napoli enough to not be able to just get a win.

I will probably say for this game we would just keep an open mind because both team are of average form and anything can actually happen as either could win and the worse we could expect should be a draw because both team are of relatively equal strength and cannot probably be seen as above each other in any way but then Napoli stands to look like the favourite in this game .

Napoli vs Atlanta will be the first Serie A match this week after the international break ends, this match will be a very interesting match in my opinion, at the moment Napoli are in seventh place and if they win of course Napoli will take Atlanta position in 6th, currently the Europa League zone is the most realistic target for Napoli and I think beating Atlanta can further pave their way to get Europa League tickets next season,  Although it is difficult, but I think Napoli will be able to beat Atlanta in the match, especially in the last match Napoli managed to hold Inter Milan draw with score 1-1.
My prediction is Napoli 2-0 Atlanta.

For the Juventus and Lazio matches, it seems that the match will also be quite exciting, because both of them currently need a win to end their negative trend in Serie A, and I think with the conditions and performance of the two teams that are not much different at this time maybe Juventus will win with a narrow score especially so far Juventus has a good record when meeting Lazio,
My prediction is Lazio 1 vs 2 juventus.

Don’t you think Juventus can win their match against Lazio to end their three matches winless run so as to still have faith on qualifying to the Champions League next season.

And don’t you also think that Napoli can use their home advantage to win the match as well?
Although I understand the point you coming from because they are the sixth and seventh team in the Seria A table, but I think the defensive champions are more in need of points than Atalanta who even have one outstanding match to play. If Napoli win the match, they can because they won their last four matches against Atalanta.

Lastly, I believed you that both Milan and Inter Milan can win their matches.

Milan have a very difficult away game. Fiorentina have been up and down this season, but they play much better at home. It's a must-win game for Milan, because they feel Juve on their heels. Even a draw would be a bad result for them. In their remaining games, it will be the most difficult away game after Juventus. If they want to play more comfortably in that game, they have to win games like this. After a 3-match winning streak, Milan will extend it to 4. They don't have a problem scoring goals, someone always comes up. They will score in this match as well.

Nono, you are oversimplifying things here obviously. Inter Milan has by far been one of the best teams in the Champions League last season and that was a time when they weren't performing outstandingly in Serie A like they are doing now. They were doing ok last season, but it was nothing special. However, in the Champions League they blew everyone's mind because Manchester City has had big problems beating them and they needed a deflected ball in the end to win that game with a single goal scored while Inter Milan had several chances to score the equalizer. This season Inter is again an amazing team, but the Champions League is a competition where it is not always the best team that wins the title, but the one that was most efficient with their chances and maybe had some luck as well. I think that Atletico Madrid would more often lose against Inter than vice versa if they played a dozen times against each other. But this is the CL and Atletico made it in two games.

If we consider this aspect, Napoli should have a greater chance of winning than Atalanta because some of them are fit to play at home. However, actually that is not enough to guarantee that Napoli themselves are not able to optimize it. If you look at the experience of previous matches, Napoli actually does have a chance to win. They were superior to Atalanta last year, even when Napoli were in quite bad condition at that time and they played away, Atalanta as the host at that time. Meanwhile, now, at least, Napoli's condition has improved quite a bit, although not very good, but at least there has been quite a good improvement. So, most likely, they will win this time too.

It would be a shame if the result of Lazio vs Juventus was a draw. Lazio is not a bottom team, but Juventus should be superior. In terms of squad strength, Juventus is superior. And Juventus should be more motivated to win this time, they were quite bad in 3 consecutive matches yesterday. So, if they don't do their best, really, they will get ridiculed again and again.

This result was quite surprising at the time, because many thought that Inter Milan, as last season's UCL finalist, would qualify. But everything ended because Atletico Madrid was able to get rid of them. Yes, this time, Serie A ended at UCL. The only further hope is in the UEFA Europe League, that alone is still quite worrying, because there are Liverpool and Leverkusen as strong competitors.

This is a crucial match for both teams to chase sixth place this week. Napoli is currently in seventh place with 45 points and Atalanta with 47 points. Napoli is two points behind Atalanta in sixth place. So whoever team wins this match, that team will be in sixth place.

Apart from what you mentioned, Napoli in terms of play has also improved since being coached by Calzona. Even though they were eliminated from the UCL League, Napoli managed to achieve two wins and three draws in their last five matches in Serie A, including when Napoli beat Juventus 2-1. The Atalanta team itself has a very difficult time getting points in away matches, so I predict that this match will also be won by Napoli with a score of 2-1.

 The final games in the UCL round of 16 was played and the result of Inter Milan against Atletico Madrid is one that was just in between expected and unexpected. The Italian side have been able to this season stay in shape in both the Serie A and the UCL until their disqualification days ago.

 They've played to win and they've secured good number of points gaps between them and Juventus. Yes it's not so surprising as they've in all time being a competitive Italian side. Atletico's encounter wasn't really much of a petty game for them as the both teams were strong though Inter being stronger in terms of league standings but experience wise, Atletico knew how to get what they got. Well it's a motivation ahead of next season for Inter Milan.

 The quarter final games have been drawn, now it's seeming like a reincarnating battle. The rivalry continues and it all seems unpredictable. The odds for team qualifications are a bit difficult to predict as  the game only gets tougher now and a lot has to be put into consideration without neglecting how different the performance may turn out on the field of play. PSG will battle out with Barcelona, Arsenal with Munich, Real Madrid with City and Atletico with Dortmund.

 The toughest game of these schedules would have been all except for Munich and Arsenal but as it stands, Arsenal still has a shot against this German side considering how poor Munich have been in passing weeks and then Arsenal giving their all to their games. Though they've not had a good UCL record, so in records, Munich stands a chance. So comparing both teams, it's just best to leave the decision to be decided on the pitch. Real Madrid and City are title contenders too in their respective leagues, UCL title is as well their natural aim and so one of them would have to surrender it off at this stage of the competition.

if we look at the results obtained by atalanta and napoli in the last 5 matches, we can see that the strengths of the two are no different.  atalanta in the last 5 matches was only able to win 1 time while napoli never lost in the last 5 matches they only got a draw, the match that will take place between the two will also take place at napoli's home ground, so even though betting on napoli is quite risky, i will choose napoli in my bet this time, i believe they will win narrowly rather than losing to atalanta.

It is too risky to bet on Napoli seeing that from the last three matches in all competitions they were unable to win at all, Napoli's last victory when they managed to beat Juventus but in the next three matches in a row Napoli failed to win after being held to a draw by Torino then losing to Barcelona in the Champions League and finally before the international break out Napli drew with Inter Milan.

The opponent teams Atalanta has motivation break to Europe League spot standings position behind 4 points gap from AS Roma, actually Atalanta performance not qit well but the victory in Europe League last match against Sporting Lisbon and success qualified to quarter final make more confidence for facing Napoli in Serie A.
