Although the possibility is very small but I think Napoli chances of ending the season in the top 4 are still there, we don't know what will happen in the remaining few games of both teams and if Bologna slip up and Napoli rivals slip up of course provide an opportunity for Napoli to rise to the top rank, currently Napoli have performed quite consistently in the last few games and that positive trend will probably continue later against Torino,  If Napoli want to continue to compete for the top 4, it should be for them not to lose points in one remaining match.

This weekend Bologna will have a tough game against Intermilan so the chances for Bologna to drop points in that game Considering Intermilan's unbeaten status in the league since being beaten by Saosuolo, the possibility of Bologna losing points in that game is very big so I think now it depends on teams like Roma, Atlanta and Napoli to how to use that to their advantage to get closer to the United States. Bologna in rank 4 later.
With 11 games left, Roma, Atlanta and Napoli still have a chance to unseat Bologna in Serie A and what they need most now is to play with consistent performance to win.

I am sure that if Roma continues to maintain their consistency then it will only be a matter of time before Bologna makes a mistake, but as we can see Bologna have not lost in their last five matches which is already a good result as a club that is in the top four in the Italian league at the moment, a difference of four points are clearly not easy for Roma but with high self-confidence Roma could get rid of Bologna and become part of the top four in the current domestic league.

Since Mourinho left, it seems that Roma has become a better club in De Rossi's hands. This is De Rossi's opportunity to show his quality as a coach to be able to pressure his team to continue playing consistently in every match they face until the end of the season and maybe that will be an opportunity for them too. Roma can finish in the top four and get a UCL ticket next season too, because Bologna have not found a suitable opponent so that they can consistently get consecutive wins in their last five matches, Roma just need to wait for Bologna to make a mistake or at least experience two defeats, that will happen. allowing Roma to get rid of them there, Btw it seems you are right that Napoli have to accept unsatisfactory results this season.

Sometimes I'm very careful not to refer to any team as an underdog except if they been in the temporary relegation side of the table because I feel that even at every position where's they are, there's still much they can do regardless, one thing I know is common with such teams is the ability to utilize opportunity when they see one, so if any of them is been taken for granted then get ready for a surprise.

Bologna in my way of looking at teams isn't an underdog, they are rather few step belo average and I think that's how best I could categorize them because they have still got some wins already to their name this season, they in their last five matches they were able to secure a win in them all not have a single loss or draw so such team isn't one to be considered any less even if their most recent games which gave them such record has been with much more weak teams and not with strong teams, it's has still helped tem maintain the fourth position and aswell their confidence will be at a very good level as at this time.

AS Roma has in recent times been of very good and impressive performance that will definitely get them to be able to get amongst the top four if they stay consistent with some winnings streaks before the end of the season and that will be if bologna at some point drops point or fail to maintain their position as they have both Atlanta and Roma ready to displace them meanwhile Napoli may just have to accept their fate at the end of the season.

Another week with less matches for my weekly bet

* Napoli - Torino => Napoli
* Cagliari - Salernitana => Cagliari
* AC Milan - Empoli => AC Milan

the final is x4.33, so i bet 5 euros i can win 20 euros (if i win all single bet)

One thing I like about Bologna is that they are very strong and really want to maintain their current position against their competitors and they are doing very well so far. Seeing Bologna who are unbeaten in the last 7 matches makes you wonder what formula they use so they can be this consistent. The reason is that not a few mediocre teams like them can last longer and they are even now sitting in the top 4 by facing several other strong teams. Even other teams such as Roma, Atalanta, Napoli and Lazio have to shift each other so they can immediately shift Bologna's position.

Here Bologna certainly wants to continue the winning trend that they have worked so hard to build and the next realistic target for them is to be able to overtake Milan. That is something they can achieve in the near future and they just have to wait for Milan to experience a deadlock so they can get closer. I am happy that Serie A shows competitive competition and seeing these teams continue to compete until the end of the season it will be increasingly difficult for us to predict who will secure a top 4 place later.

The Napoli team may not return to play in the UCL next season if Napoli does not get the position currently occupied by Bologna. Meanwhile, Bologna itself still has the opportunity to maintain itself in the top four of the standings, although in general it is still not very safe from the pursuit of AS Roma and Atalanta, who are currently just below Bologna. And I think there will be more competitive competition from these three teams in terms of winning the top four positions this season because the points gap is not too far from Bologna, except for Napoli.

Bologna may be the underdog team when they face Inter Milan later, but overall Bologna is a pretty good team this season and Inter Milan must remain alert because Bologna managed to beat them in the 16th round of the Coppa Italia which caused Inter Milan to fail to advance to the quarterfinals, even though in the end Bologna also had to accept defeat from Fiorentina in the quarter-finals and Bologna was quite strong when facing a strong team, especially when playing at home, Bologna performed better than in the away match so Inter Milan had to be aware of all possibilities.
Inter Milan probably won't be too worried in the match against Bologna because the 15-point lead over Juventus will not be easy for their rival to catch up with, less is possible but being surpassed by Juventus can be said to be impossible so even if Inter Milan gets a draw it will still make them comfortable at the top of the standings.
Bologna being chased by Roma looks like it will be difficult because Roma has just improved in the last few matches, so it is not certain that their performance will continue to be as good after being handled by De Rossi.

That's the reason and we don't just look at the difference in points but also at the team's performance which makes it impossible to compete.
Atalanta continues to experience a decline in performance in the last few matches which has kept them further away from the top 4 positions.
I think the most likely ones to compete for the top 4 positions in the standings are only Roma and Bologna and these two teams are currently in pretty good form even though Roma is 4 points from Bologna but this is still possible to happen because this season there are still 11 matches left, still quite a lot of points will be up for grabs.

I also think about this, Roma and Bologna in terms of performance have better quality than Napoli, Napoli need to work hard to overthrow the position of the two teams and take fourth place, on the other hand I am sure Bologna will not quickly be complacent about fourth place what they get, they will fight hard to move up further or at least stay in their current standings

Francesco Calzona can make Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia has return to their shape because in the last 2 matches these players always scores goals even Osimhen was made a hattrick when Napoli beat Sassuolo so these statistics is proven Napoli players can restore their mentally after through an several times poor results and today Calzona was targetting win result from Torino because if Napoli win from Torino then this result can boosted their mentally because after this match Napoli will playing at Champion League against Barcelona

In the first meeting this season Napoli has been lost from Torino with huge scores 3-0 and i am sure Napoli want to taking revenge from this match besides that Napoli is really required more points to improved their position on league standings and to compete for Champion League spots and i think big possibility Napoli will be able to beat Torino today because although they still not fully consistent but Napoli performance under Calzona has showing slightly progress and about squad update i have seen Napoli squad and most of the players in the good fitness and ready to play for this match and Napoli win has good odds to bets @1.78

I forgot about Atalanta being only one point behind Roma yeah, you are right about it.    They also have a chance to go for top four despite its being a bit more difficult than the other teams mathematically.

But in these eleven weeks left in the season anything can happen really. Atalanta could also manage to close the gap of five points with Bologna. However I just don't like their performance recently. They lost eight points in their last three games. They could have technically been at the fourth place now. If they don't make improvement in their performance I'm afraid they will probably lose their chance earlier than Roma. 

Yes what you said is true because so far we know Bologna as a mid-table team and even they are more often at the bottom of the table so far, but it is surprising for us if Bologna this season has broken the competition to go to European competition next season, I think the consistency possessed by Bologna at this time deserves to be praised because with only modest players it was able to make a big team this season get defeated, even Intermilan, which is quite spectacular this season, had to get a defeat from Bologna when playing in the Coppa Italia.

I think with the consistency that Bologna has at this time it is not appropriate for us to underestimate Bologna, because if only later Bologna managed to give another defeat to Intermilan on Sunday then it is certain that Bologna is very worthy of consideration to get 1 ticket to the Champions League next season, besides that there is indeed competition from several rival teams but if we compare the performance of Bologna and their rival teams Bologna is still very good this moment, I think the match against Intermilan will be very decisive for Bologna in the fight for 1 place in the big four.

The most interest match for the upcoming match day guys.

Intermilan will face bologna which is still on fire. This is gonna be the biggest obtacle for intermilan this week. Even though intermilan was still consistently winning the game till this time but it's still remain unbeatable. Bologna came with very good head to head against intermilan

This is head to head between inter and bologna

From the data above, we can draw a conclusion that Bologna was very often giving tough games against Intermilan. I'm feeling so skeptical about the performance from Intermilan, which caused Bolgona to win three times from the 5 matches  last head-to-head against Intermilan.

Here's the odds for the upcoming games



Bologna has very good odds in this match. The club is on fire, and playing at home has become a perfect combination to take the risk. 3.50 is very good odds for Bologna. Intermilan was always struggling to beat Bologna, and this could be a good reason to pick Bologna in this game.
Intermilan must be careful even though it's still at the peak performance but i think that intermilan can also to lose against girona.

Intermilan's odds is quite good but since it was playing away and intermilan didn't have good result against bologna and this makes club a bit risky to bet. Intermilan got 2.19

Although Bologna is a small team, Bologna has an extremely successful season with 4th place on the Serie A rankings. Bologna showed their bravery in a decisive match to the top 4 race against Atalanta, They had an impressive comeback to help them take 4th place. The upcoming challenge for Bologna is extremely difficult when they face the strongest team this season, Inter. The gap with the chasing group is 4 points. Roma and Napoli are two clubs that will likely surpass Bologna to take 4th place. Because both have just replaced the coach, those coaches are bringing a new source of wind to the club, which is gradually stabilizing. Don't forget last season, Napoli was the defending champions. Although this year they cannot keep the Scudetto. But Napoli will have to make a lot of effort to reach the top 4.

I'm still yet to say that Napoli are back to form because these wins were not supposed to be a determination of their return. We need to see more winnings from them. However, if you compare Napoli's performance with their last season's performance, they still have a lot to do. However, I am not sure if they will even take over Bologna's position in the standings because Bologna are doing better than Napoli, in my opinion, so for them, change coaches. Although their former coach needs a replacement, beating Juventus and playing a draw with Barcelona should not determine their performance yet. Let us wait and see if they will continue this way. because, if we should say, they are back to form now and later disappoint it somehow.

Don't underestimate underdog teams like Bologna, however, football can still give surprises, even teams with no experience can still compete there if their performance is impressive and that's what Bologna is doing now, they are performing impressively and consistently so they managed to occupy fourth place even though they still have a long way to go. long and AS Roma and Atalanta still have a chance to take that position but Bologna also still has a chance to maintain their strength and for Napoli I don't know whether next season they can compete again in the UCL because their performance is not so stable.

So far De Rossi has shown good progress since he became coach of AS Roma, there is nothing special about what he has shown, but slowly he is able to show a good game and that prioritizes teamwork, for me this is something that is important good for a team because the main thing you must have is good teamwork. If I'm not mistaken, they have only lost once while being managed by De Rossi and that was against Inter Milan, I can say that is a natural thing because the team that beat them is the best team currently in Serie A.
He is showing good things, but I still want to see whether he will be able to consistently maintain his performance with AS Roma, or whether this is only happening at the beginning. I don't mean to underestimate him, but learning from experience I have seen many coaches who were only good at the beginning but then they became coaches who couldn't be any better after gaining more trust from management. He has to prove that he is not only good at the start, but he can bring AS Roma to an even better level of consistency.

It can be their start of recovery and run faster to try participating in top four which currently is far of their hands. Though it is not easy to catch other above clubs but Napoli are on a good form to fight for that target.

Beating Juventus is a very strong performance of Napoli to strengthen their confidence for coming matches. Juventus don't have good form but beating The Old Lay in Serie A is never easy.

Bologna don't have experience to compete for top four position and potentially they will have problems to maintain their good performance in future. It will give chances to Napoli and some other clubs like Roma, Atalanta. Napoli can not control how Bologna play but they can control their performances. It is what they must focus on first and wait for green light from Bologna, Roma and Atalanta.

Yes, the clubs you mentioned above still have an open opportunity to occupy the top 4 positions, but if you look at the consistency aspect, Bologna has played quite consistently in their last few matches, while the clubs you mentioned are not so consistent so far so they are not yet completely convincing, but what is clearly starting to rise is Napoli, they are slowly starting to show progress in the last few matches so that their ranking is increasing and is currently in 7th position and the difference in points with 4th place is 8 points but in my opinion the points are big enough to pass if Bologna did not experience defeat in the next matches.

Juventus and Milan are both fighting for second place, who knows who will end up occupying it at the end of the season because Juventus' performance has recently declined, yes, it seems that Juventus really needs to improve this by changing their current coach because the coach is the one who has full responsibility in building a club while Juventus had a big chance to win the title but Massimiliano Allegri failed to make Juventus players play optimally.

Yes, maybe these 2 wins make everyone believe that Napoli has returned to trying to be consistent, but I don't believe that Napoli will return to having stable performance because if you say this is a good start, but for me this is the start of a bad thing for bettors at the moment. looks very strong but against Torino it only ends in a draw or even a loss.
As long as Napoli can't get consistent wins like last season I will never believe in Napoli or even shifting Bologna's position seems very difficult because Bologna's performance is much more consistent and on the other hand Napoli will have the pressure of competing against Barcelona in the CL competition and also the pressure of the match. against Inter Milan.

Napoli at the moment is really very bad in terms of the quality of their performance which is uncertain and I will not give an excuse which I often repeat that it is the management that has this mistake and there is no other choice but to just perform as hard as possible to survive and try to get the best results even though it will end in bad position but there is a chance next season to get the right coach and without firing him.
To compete with any club Napoli is very difficult to predict and the right choice is simply to avoid betting on every Napoli match before giving a more consistent performance.
