Despite Napoli's recent victories, particularly in their recent matches like three games, I had anticipated a significant improvement in their performance overall. However, their game against Torino contradicted this expectation. Given that the match was held on Napoli's home turf, I had assumed they would emerge victorious. However, Napoli's performance fell short of my expectations.Despite their efforts, they failed to meet the level of play I had anticipated, especially considering Torino's comparatively weaker form. Their inconsistency raises doubts about their ability to secure a spot in the top four once again. Nevertheless, only time will reveal the outcome of their upcoming matches and whether they can rectify their performance to meet the desired standards.

It looks like this match will end in a draw and that is quite unfortunate in my opinion because even if 1 point is still quite good but this can be said as a defeat for Napoli because they have a loss if the match ends in a draw.
Though their momentum in the hands of Calzona is quite good but in this match they failed to get full points and have to start over with new momentum. Now the match has entered extra time and they are still unable to add to the score because of the good defense that Torino is doing.
Napoli played quite well actually but there were some things that I didn't really like in this match including their finishing which was very poor which made the match difficult to win.

However, Napoli doesn't seem to have the determination to do that and if the score doesn't change then Napoli will have to be willing to share one point with Torino. I wonder what's the point of beating Juventus the previous week to beating Sassuolo badly if they still can't be consistent until now and this is more like wasting an existing opportunity. I don't expect much from Napoli and this season they won't be in the top 4 either.

It's really hard to believe that Napoli who were once a fearsome force in the serie A last season would now be struggling to actually finish in the top four. And with the way things are heating up in this Torino game, I can deduce that they might actually end the game at draw a piece as the game is currently standing at one all a piece and this would certainly be a devastating results for Napoli as the chances gets slimmer and slimmer.

This match is a match that Napoli must win. I think Napoli will win even though Torino was able to hit back moments after Kvaratskhelia's goal to put Napoli ahead.
The statistics are now evenly matched, but in about 15 more years, Napoli can win again if I look at the way they play with the several opportunities that have occurred so far.
Osimhen will probably be the player who will score the winning goal even though Osimhen's accuracy level is still very low in this match at least until the 80th minute.

the game between Napoli and Torino is almost ended.

Napoli need desperately to score a goal for hoping to join the race of the top 4.

The fabulous left winger for Napoli Kvaratskhelia has found the back of the net with a brilliant finish on the 61st minutes of the match to take the lead, but not upto for minutes that Antonio Sanabria equalized the goal with a fantastic over head goal to balance the scoreline. The match is becoming difficult, and I don't think that it will be an easy match for Napoli since their visitors have equalized the goal not q I te long after Napoli opened the scoreline. Napoli should try their best to win this match so that they can keep their matches going, and adding points. Torino is on the 10th position on the league, and this is why they don't want to mess things up by allowing Napoli to win the match, they believe the worst thing is that they will share points with Napoli. Let us see if a miracle will happen here for Napoli. Napoli needs to win this match to get more motivated for their match against Barcelona in the Champions League.

It should be like that, this match will not be too difficult for Napoli. Just now, in the 61st minute, Kvaratskheilla scored the first goal of the match.
So the position becomes:
1 - 0
for Napoli leading so far.

In fact, Torino also made quite a significant attack on Napoli. However, that is not yet too pressing and in fact Napoli can still be recognized quite well. Indeed, this match was quite tough, especially since there were several violations committed by the two clubs during the course of the match. Napoli also have to be alert, don't get a red card whatever happens.

Torino also has just scored a goal,
1 - 1
right now

This match should not have been so difficult for Napoli to win, but playing against some lower teams makes it difficult for some big teams to win, even when statistics show that they have a better chance and a higher winning rate when compared to one another. So far, Napoli has had more possession and dominated the game than Torino, as well as more shots on target. This demonstrates Torino's defensive mindset, and they will not allow Napoli to take the lead in the game since it began.

When it comes to a team that can hold the other, I believe Torino will reach a point where they will be unable to withstand the pressure from Napoli and will simply have to allow them to score. If this occurs anytime soon, I expect more goals to come out of this game as the pressure on Torino will increase. Napoli is back on track and will not let this match break their winning streak as they aim to finish in the top four of the league before the season ends.

It was a goalless first half, and Torino didn't give any space to Napoli for them to find the back of the net, as they sealed up their defense in the first half. Napoli is playing at home, and this should be an advantage for them to win their visitors, who is also equal to the task of the challenge.

I don't think that this match would end in a draw, because one of the team will not be able to hold on till 90 minutes is over. If a change is made by the coach maybe this will bring light to one of the clubs to take advantage on that to score their opponent. Torino is a stubborn club that would not accept defeat until the final whistle. The second half is currently ongoing.

The game between Napoli and Torino is ongoing and as expected the host is dominating the match. The visitors have not had a single shot on target but Napoli have tried to get a shot on target but the scoreline is goaless. Coach Francesco Calzona came up with a strong squad and will also consider rotating some players by substituting them before the end of the match to prepare them for the second leg second round UCL match with Barcelona. Cyril Ngonge and Jens Cajuste were left out if the squad due to injuries but they team has good players who can replace them. Napoli will want to win this game to boast the chances of featuring in European competition. But it will not be an easy game because Torino is also are well organized side.

The last time both team met was in January when coach Walter Mazzarri was in charge of Napoli and Torino won the game by three goals to nothing. Maybe Napoli might want to revenge the last the last loss against the Torino but they just have about 50minutes to get some goals. If Napoli allow Torino to score first, they might find it difficult to level up because the visitor is a good defending side.

Juventus and Atlanta are both not in their best form at the moment, Juventus have dropped couple of points recently and they are already 15 points behind Inter Milan and as it seems they have already lost the fight in the title race they need to regain their form to retain their second place so they don’t miss out on the top four spot and make it to the Champions League next season.

Atlanta on the other hand are also not in good form at the moment they have failed to win any of their last 4 matches and facing Juventus can be problematic as well. It will be an interesting game and i think juventus have the upper hand to win the game.

This should be an easy win for AC Milan if they play well but if they don’t then they should be ready to drop points because Empoli will not want to go easy as well.

De Rossi just came and should be given time to show himself. They're playing the league games and as well as the European games, their attention is on 2 trophies, European trophy will be difficult for them and I don't think that currently De Rossi would be able to scale through all the clubs that will be presented to him to face in each advancement phase of the tournament. Even in the Serie A, it'll be difficult for them to gain the top stand so it's just best that they focus their strength and struggle to maintaining a good result that'll see them scale through to the European cups next season.

 De Rossi can still make a great team from Roma and their next games encounters are awaited. They played away to Monza last weekend and the game outcomes actually went in their favor. They were able to confidently net in 4goals and this gave enough goal margin in the match today. Monza who were the host didn't actually make much effort, adding that they were up against a better side and nothing less or different from the final outcome was expected to happen. The odds were in Roma's favour and in their own part, they were able to perform and deliver rightly, adding an extra 3points to their league table points and this as well adds to the push and morale ahead of their next European cup game against Brighton.

 The game ended last night in Roma's favour as once again the ensured a clear 3points victory with a wide goal margin too. This only assures then of a bigger possibility ahead of the second leg clash which seems to be in Roma's favour. They did a good job putting Brighton in that tight corner even though majority of us thought Brighton would stand up to the fight and try to reduce the goal gaps regardless. Roma have been able to gather enough confidence ahead of their domestic league games. Even though the top 2 spot isn't assured to them, they've been able to fight to maintain relevance and as well ensure that they secure an European ticket next season, just their consistency matters at this point. The advancement journey won't be easy, the forthcoming league games too won't be easy. But I believe De Rossi is set to give his best for the team judging from the result of their last two games.

The games for this turn will start this evening.

2 big games this week, maybe.

Can Bologna stops Inter?

I think this is the right bet, because Juventus and AC Milan both want to get three points to maintain their position in the standings. AC Milan will most likely win smoothly in this match, while Juventus will try harder if they want to win this match. The reason is that in the previous meeting Juventus also had difficulty getting three points, they only managed to achieve a draw when they hosted Atalanta.

Moreover, these two teams also experienced a decline in performance. Juventus is currently conceding easily and having difficulty winning. In their last 6 matches they lost 3 times, drew twice and only won one win. Atalanta is also like that in its last 4 matches, Atalanta drew 2 times and lost 2 times. So this match will be fierce, but Juventus' superiority in playing in front of their own supporters is what will make them win. My prediction is that Juventus will win this match with a difference of one goal.

odds given the bookmaker are equivalent to the risk that the bettors have to take because of the difficulty of predicting this match.
both teams are unbeaten in the last 5 matches, but if you look at the last 10 matches, Inter is far superior because they were only able to get a bad result, a draw and 9 wins, while Bologna got 6 wins, 2 losses and 2 draws.
maybe taking an analysis of the remaining 10 matches is a little impossible because there have been a lot of changes, but looking at the performance of these two teams, it is quite tough and neither wants to worsen the 5 consecutive wins, while Inter wants to continue to add a bigger gap to Juventus and Bologna wants to continue to reach 3rd place because Roma continues to chase Bologna's points.
from several players that I analyzed, both teams don't have any problems because maybe there are some players who are injured but it's not too much of a problem, there are still main players who can be considered.

however, from my thinking, it is impossible for Inter to lose this match because Inter's strategy will only be to hold a draw if they are unable to beat their opponent and maybe if Bologna is able to get 1 score, Inter will definitely try to hold a draw so that they can still get a point, even if it is only 1 point.
betting on one team winning is risky but will be very profitable but consider a draw and I prefer betting on BTTS even though the odds are not too big but the risk is not too big.

The difference in points between Napoli and fourth place in the standings is quite large, it is a bit impossible for Bologna, Roma and Atalanta to fall at the same time, thus opening up the opportunity for Napoli to move up to the Champions League zone. Moreover, Roma is now starting to appear impressive since management appointed De Rossi as manager, and Napoli chances are lower than Roma's to finish in the top four. Soon Napoli will face Torino, getting 3 points makes them move up to 6th place, shifting Atalanta.

But at this moment I personally might just be more confident about AS Roma because honestly, AS Roma really managed to improve their performance and quality in De Rossi's coaching. So, although currently AS Roma still has a four-point gap with Bologna who is in fourth place, but I think AS Roma has a better chance of being able to finish in the top four compared to Bologna. Likewise about Napoli, because after the change of coach that Napoli made that Napoli also experienced an increase in better results now. But unfortunately, Napoli do not have a close gap to be able to return to the topfour because after all, at the same time the teams above Napoli also have good performance such as Atalanta, AS Roma and Bologna. So ya,although Napoli are also experiencing an increase in performance, but I believe that Napoli do not have a good chance of being able to climb up to the top four.

In the last 6 games, Juventus have won only once, which is why the odds for the game with Atalanta are so generous. Considering the fact that Atalanta has maximum motivation (if the situation goes well, they can even get into the top 4), I’m not sure that the risk is worth the profit.
The bet on Milan looks reliable, I would even take it with a handicap of -1, but I am stopped by the fact that Milan is already in the top 4 and can neither compete for the title nor fall lower - I’m not sure of their motivation as in the case of Juventus.

This week its really difficult to bet and for my beloved Juventus, they have a potentially difficult match against a truly angry and hungry Atalanta. But i want to trust in Juventus

• Juventus - Atalanta BC i will bet on my beloved Juventus
• AC Milan - Empoli i will bet on AC Milan

the win of Juventus is 2.15! If I win this bet it will be nicer to have won
