This match is very important for both clubs, Fiorentina wants to maintain its position in 4th place because the difference in points with Atalanta, Lazio and Bologna is very narrow so the three clubs are trying to fight for 4th position so they can secure a place to compete in the Champions League, as is Inter Milan who is trying to took over the first position currently occupied by Juventus because Inter Milan wants to win the Serie A title, but Juventus is still Inter Milan's tough rival in the race. So the competition between the two is still quite fierce.

If you look at the head to head records, Inter Milan has a bigger chance of winning, but Fiorentina is not a weak club at the moment because sometimes this club can put pressure on the visiting team, and I think Fiorentina will perform as optimally as possible because this is their home match and of course will perform as best as possible in front of their supporters, but I don't think Inter Milan will let that defeat happen to Inter.

The match between Inter and Fiorentina will certainly be eagerly awaited by football fans (especially Serie A). The reason is that this match will be a very decisive moment for Inter to be able to overtake Juventus and return to the top of the standings. The reason is that if Inter loses this match, it will be a golden opportunity for Juventus to continue to top the Serie A standings. For this reason, Inter must really take advantage of this match. In order to prevent Juventus from coming to power.

But, I am very optimistic, Inter will definitely win this match. Because when compared to Fiorentina, Inter is far superior. The reason is that in the last 5 matches played by the two teams, the results were that Inter was superior to Fiorentina. With 3× wins, 1× draw and 1× loss. So if you remember the H2H of both teams, I think Inter will be ahead again in that match.

Meanwhile for the Lazio and Napoli match. For me, this match is definitely no less exciting and tense. Although recently the performance of both teams has not been good. However, this does not mean that the performance of both teams was bad. The reason is that in their last match, Lazio managed to beat Leece with a narrow score of 1-0, while Napoli managed to enter the final of the Italian super cup, even though in the end they lost with a narrow score of 1-0 to Inter. So I think the match between Lazio and Napoli will be very exciting too. Because the results of this match will have a big influence on the ranking of the two teams in Serie A, especially Napoli. Because if they succeed in winning against Lazio, Napoli has huge potential to rise to 6th or 5th place. Likewise with Lazio, if they succeed in winning against Napoli they have the potential to rise to 4th or 5th place. So basically this match will not be any less exciting also.

It is only true with Juventus because they don't play in either Champions League, Europa League or Conference League. However it is untrue with Inter Milan because this team actually played in Champions League and they will have two matches in round of 16 against Atletico Madrid, a club from La Liga.

Inter Milan have been showing their strength and unbelievable stable good performances in Serie A even they had to decentralize their player resource for Champions League as well.

Juventus only have to play in Serie A and Coppa Italia and their players have more recovery time than Inter Milan players. In a long season, if Inter Milan continues to go farther in Champions League, it will become big advantage for Juventus.

Not surprising to see these two teams leading in the Serie A because Juventus in the team they are not racing in tournaments like the Champions League and while they have many good and strong players in the team with a good coach, they also had good times for recovery and Inter Milan is the same team they were in the final match of the last Chmapnis League and they are still in the good format even after losing some palers like Lukaku. I think even Juventus can win the race against Inter Milan if they use the possible opportunities from the mistakes of Inter Milan.

Indeed, the contract is until June this year. However, if his ability is good enough and he can improve the team very well and consistently, this doesn't close the possibility to extend the contract based on evaluation. I am sure that Rossi won't waste this opportunity to do his best in Roma. Although many people still doubt his ability because he is still lack of experience. At least, his existence of being temporary coach here in Roma can really give him a very valuable experience and also challenge. This is probably one of the reasons why he accepts the offer without concerning about the salary. But for sue, this path won't be easy for Rossi because Roma performance has really decreased and he must rebuild it consistently.

Fiorentina Inter Is the big game of the day, even bigger then Lazio Napoli considering the bad shape of both teams

Yes that's right. De Rossi doesn't have much experience in coaching, let alone coaching a big team like As Roma. Imo, De Rossi was only made temporary coach by AS Roma, AS Roma will look for a coach who has experience in domestic leagues and inter-European leagues.

But even so, his debut as coach of As Roma went very well, Roma was back on the winning track even though the opponent they faced was a weak team like Verona, but this was a good start to increase the players' confidence.

And on his first debut as coach, the differences between coaches Mourinho and de Rossi were clear. Mourinho often brings Elsharwy on from the bench while De Rossi plays from the start, this is a good decision in my opinion because Elsharwy has good stamina.

yeah, their competition is very tight. However, it would be interesting if it ended like this. Juventus is currently leading in first place in the standings. Meanwhile, Inter is in second place because they still have 1 match less to play.

Juventus' performance here is getting better and more consistent. They have truly proven that they are indeed capable of remaining strong and leading. In the next match they will face Empoli. Juventus certainly has a fairly high chance of winning. so they must still be in their current position.

 The match with Verona was very difficult and Roma was simply lucky that Djuric did not score a penalty, otherwise De Rossi’s debut would not have been so good, although it is difficult to call Roma’s game good, especially in the second half. There is no need to think that De Rossi, by some miracle, can achieve greater success than Mourinho, in order for the team to achieve results, greater resources are needed, but I don’t see Roma striving for this. Lukaku alone won't fix anything.

Well Inter Milan and Juventus are both leading the Serie A and none of them seems to go slow for the other. At the start of the season, many saw Inter as favorites because of how sharp their attack looked and was shaped and they've maintained that very good form till this point, Ac Milan that made everyone believe athat they'll perform very well at the beginning of the season doesn't look very tough as they were.

 Juventus weren’t clinical in front of goal and this was one thing they were lacking as a team and this alone is what a team needs to win title. Surprisingly, Juventus picked up form and now scoring more goals than usual and this is pretty What’s needed to keep Inter up and doing.This has made the Juventus team pretty strong and fierce and one that’ll have to be defeated if Inter wants a shot at the title.

Inter Milan is currently in a tough testing period, where they have five matches that test their strength to the limit in two domestic competitions. So far in the Italian Super Cup, Inter have completed it very well, and managed to win the championship trophy. Their previous two opponents were Lazio (semi-final) and the latest was Napoli (final). Now Inzaghi has to shift his focus to Serie A, it's time to test the strength of his fleet again against three other tough opponents, Fiorentina, Juventus and Roma. With the capital they have obtained in the Italian Super Cup, I feel they can overcome this challenge to remain at the top of the standings.

Juventus has temporarily taken over the top of the standings from Inter, we know that Inter must be able to secure full points in every match if they want to reclaim it, even though they still have one match postponed, they should be used to create a point difference with Juventus in the future. The determination of who was most serious about fighting for the trophy occurred in week 23, where Inter strength was truly tested to the maximum by Juventus. However, before the big match, we will see how Inter finished the match against Fiorentina first.

It is very difficult for other elite Serie A clubs to revive the competition for the Scudetto, although this hope is still quite open. However, when this becomes small, it doesn't mean that teams like Milan, Napoli, Fiorentina and even Roma can't be a stumbling block in Inter and Juventus mission to hunt for the Scudetto. I think the Inter vs Juventus match really determines the top of the standings, but other teams also have a big chance of disrupting the competition between the two.

I don't think any of the teams are under big pressure here and both Juventus and Inter are both putting themselves in the same place. It is true that there are still so many matches remaining to be played and in fact the chances are almost not much different. As long as one of these teams experiences a decline in performance, it will be very detrimental and become an advantage for the team that maintains its good performance.

Of course, the meeting in the second round between Inter vs Juventus will be a very clear difference and the loser will certainly have a reduced chance of winning the Scudetto. Anyway, the big match between Inter vs Juventus that I mean will take place in week 23 (which won't be long) and with this we can see who will be stronger to be able to solidify their position at the top of the standings. Both teams will definitely not give up and I am looking forward to a performance that puts pressure on each other rather than seeing both teams play it safe.

I am sure that if he does very well during this six months, he will be kept as a manager, why would you want to change a manager who can do so much for your club, of course you are going to end up with signing him for longer and longer but I do not believe that will happen. I am not saying it is impossible but he is not the type of manager who had seen so much success, he is not the guy who will make this team top four neither, I do not see that as a possibility.

Roma will continue to do as well as they have done with Mourinho, that is the limit to that team and they will just make it happen that way, the result will not be much different and he will not be really doing anything that would be considered extraordinary at all.

in theory Milan also have a good chance of winning the scudetto if they start to have a consistent performance
clearly Inter and Juventus have a better chance, given that they are essentially leading the table
I would like more to compete for the title
more fun!

There is no doubt win is win but as they were playing I was expecting we are going to have extra time or penalties because Napoli having red card in 60th minute but still Inter Milan were not able to score any goal and things were going completely worst too many punters were in sweats with this performance but thanks to Lautaro Martinez who score 92nd minute goal and completed hat trick for the Super Cup and now their confidence level is also at the top which will help them for having better results in Serie A and Champions League as well in coming matches.

In February is going to be toughest for them with teams which are going to face them are Fiorentina, Juventus and Roma in Serie A and Atlético Madrid in Champions League which need more effort from them for having better results.

Yes, both of them have the same chance of winning the Serie A title this season because they have both shown significant changes, especially since Juventus in the last few matches has always been able to achieve big wins. Juventus usually wins by a one goal difference. This proves that Juventus is indeed a serious challenger to Inter this season.

I think the games in February will be very decisive for Inter and Juventus. If Juventus can be consistent like this they can definitely beat Inter. If Inter lose mentally, they will definitely slump and lose points in the following matches. Juventus is a little calmer because they got three points against Lecce and maybe against Empoli they will fight to get three more points to put pressure on Inter Milan, while Inter Milan currently still has one match postponed, of course this match cannot be confirmed that Inter Milan can get three points. But whatever it is, I think the Inter vs Juventus match next February which will take place at the San Siro will be an event to compete for the top of the Serie A standings.

They have one match missing because of the cup match, but they are still playing great. Napoli had a big problem as they were missing in the Super Cup final and they could not prevent Martinez's goal in extra time. So they gave the championship to Inter. Now they can focus on the league. There is a fight with Juventus and it looks like the championship race will continue until the last match.

I don’t know if Juventus is progressing in strength, but they are progressing in results. And based on the results, I would say that these quotes:

Inter 1.33

Juventus 2.94

Ac Milan 20.58

are unfair. Even though Inter statistically looks a little better and they have two points more, there is still a head-to-head meeting ahead that can change the situation by 180%. But even if there were just 17 rounds ahead without a head-to-head meeting, I would say that the distance is too great to give Inter such a clear advantage. Betting on Juventus looks like an easy decision here.

No, this is not the final story and there are still 18 games left.
Inter's mistake at that time was only to be able to end in a draw against Genoa and the absence of Martínez meant that Inter's attack line was not very strong and on the one hand, Thuram also did not have his usual performance so the draw made the point difference very narrow while Juventus had a great winning streak.
I think the competition will continue until the end of the season and Juventus must be ready to accept a lot of pressure.

The strength of Juventus continually grows by almost every game they play as seen in their last three games and that's a very impressive move that's giving them a chance at the trophy this season because they are now looking very formidable to contend inter Milan against the trophy this season.

I still believe Juventus still have a very great chance at the trophy this season and the chances for inter Milan is as well equal as none of them have got a greater chance against each other, they are just a point apart which means anyone who wins their next games stands the chances of been some more points away from the other, looking at the attacks of both teams, that of inter was looking much better before but currently I think they have almost equal strength as Juventus has shown some more strength in their recent performance within their attack line.
