Osimhen is an excellent player. He has the ability to score a lot of goals. And with the help of Osimhen, the Napoli side dominated Serie A last season. Now Osimhen is in good form. If he plays well it will be easier for Napoli to perform well overall. But if Osimhen's performance is erratic I won't expect much from Napoli this season.

Napoli's opponents in the next two matches are relatively weak. The team will play against Cagliari and Sassuolo. These two teams are relatively weak opponents. If Napoli cannot return to form in this match, they will not be able to perform well in the upcoming matches.

Bologna has managed to have an impressive result in this season especially for home matches so yes, because Bologna is playing at home against Verona who is in the relegation zone then of course Bologna still manages to win in this match. Also, the truth is that Bologna has good dominance whenever Bologna plays against Verona. Moreover, in this season Bologna and Verona really have very different results and their positions in the table are also very different. So yes, it remains easy a predictable result for a Bologna v Verona in the match, and the result is really happening for Bologna win and keeps its position well in the temporary top four.

Sassuollo is the only team that managed to beat Inter Milan surprisingly this season, now their fate is very tragic after suffering another defeat to Empoli with a score of 3-2. Sassuollo is now ranked 17th in the Serie A standings, one level above the degradation zone, and has only been able to collect 20 points from the 25 matches he has played. I think if he doesn't get up soon, Sassuollo will fall into the red zone.

If you look at the match statistics, Empoli managed to achieve a dramatic victory in the 90+4 minutes, which made Sassuollo suffer even more. If Cagliari can create a miracle when facing Napoli, then Sassuollo will automatically languish in the degradation zone. A situation that must be taken very seriously, because there are fewer matches left in the future.

Bologna really has to play extraordinary like that at home, especially if the opponent is a team in the relegation zone and this is also very reasonable so that Bologna can aim for a top four position this season, because several other teams are also very close to it in terms of results. points at this point. If Bologna can continue to win like that in the next few matches, I think the team can be a serious obstacle to Atalanta and Roma who are also trying to get into the top four of the standings this season.

Empoli are in top form at the moment, in their last 5 matches Empoli have not suffered a defeat and it must be admitted that their performance has improved quite rapidly at the moment and this is a significant asset for those who will visit Sassuolo's headquarters.

On the other hand, the home team Sassuolo is in a slump, they have suffered 4 defeats in their last 5 matches.

The first half was over and Empoli were temporarily ahead by 1 goal through a goal scored by Luperto in the 11th minute.
Overall, Empoli can dominate the game and it is very likely that the Empoli team can confirm their victory in this match in order to move further away from the relegation zone.

Generally, Napoli's performance in this season very bad regarding they are the Scudetto winner last season, until matchday 24 Napoli have dropped to 9th position standings and remaining many points left for reaching to the top fourth position or Champion League spot standings. Left several matches before this season ended, Napoli has sacked two manager from Rudi Garcia and Walter Mazzari.
Not sure will the new Napoli's manager will secure his position until the end of this season or get sack too and make Napoli has new record with sacking many manager in one season.

Raise top fourth standings seems difficult for Napoli, I think they has chance  with Europe League or Conference League spot standings and improving their performance next season return in top fourth position.

I remind you that the result from juventus vs udinese. So, don't put a lot of expectation on the juvetus but this club has bigger chance to win the game against frosinone. Juventus may be bottling that match against soon. Im not expecting big from this club caused by many people have known that if juventus is back again to the unstable performance.
intermilan will be surely winning against its opponent but im fully doubting juventus's performance. The bad result against mediocre team has become my main reason to feel doubt with juventus. We may also see draw will be getting by juventus. Juventus's performance is very hard to predict these days.
Im sure that allegri will be doing something to save this club but let's wait what's gonna be implemented by him soon. Im feeling a bit scared to take juventus. Even though the risk to lost is pretty small though but juventus is not yet performing perfectly.

Sassuolo might have some home advantage other than that they seem to be on poorer form than Empoli. Both of these team had last month played with Juventus, Empoli played a draw while Sassuolo lost by three goals. Sassuolo lost 4 of their last 5 games while Empoli lost none.
So I believe the game would be a tough contest with advantage to Empoli. Though the result might not affect any of those team much as they are well ahead of relegation zone and well below qualifying for conference cup.
Later today, Monza would play against Salernitana. It should be an easy win for Monza considering how poor the season for Salernitana had been.

Sassuolo v Empoli

Sassuolo StartXI: 4-2-3-1

Andrea Consigli; Marcus Pedersen; Ruan; Gian Marco Ferrari; Josh Doig; Daniel Boloca; Matheus Henrique; Cristian Volpato; Kristian Thorstvedt; Armand Laurienté; Andrea Pinamonti

Empoli StartXI: 3-4-2-1

Elia Caprile; Ardian Ismajli; Sebastian Walukiewicz; Sebastiano Luperto; Matteo Cancellieri; Răzvan Marin; Youssef Maleh; Liberato Cacace; Nicolò Cambiaghi; Viktor Kovalenko; Alberto Cerri

I see this match as an opportunity for Empoli to distance themselves from relegation zone despite Sassuolo have home record than away but with the recent record, I don't think Sassuolo have strength to withstand this game because their last five matches were very poor, they only had a draw, while Empoli are unbeaten through out their last five matches and this alone is the only hope I have for them that the courage of winning will still be with them, apart from that they have to be careful because among the five matches Sassuolo had four were all away matches and they draw when they host the remaining one.

I don't think anything would have changed for Juventus if they had Pogba in the squad now.    Because it seems like Pogba has already finished professional football in his mind. Firstly he was getting injured very often so this directly affected his career in a bad way. After that there is this ban situation as well. His presence at the team must be giving Juventus pain.

They have been paying him salary and getting nothing back from him. They should have found a way to get rid of him last summer. Now I don't think there would be any European team desiring him. Maybe an offer from Saudi Arabia could save Juventus. If doping ban lasts four years then Juventus will have no other choice than releasing him or waiting until the end of his contract.

Both of them definitely are performing similarly at this moment. I  thought I was going to search for which team had done better when both of them met earlier. but I don't think that is going to make any difference in this match. because in this match they are definitely going to be close competitors and both of them are going to try to win the match.

Something actually caught my eye which is that Atalanta has actually been better in this season in terms of defence, right?
So far in this season, they have conceded 23 goals which is 8 goals less compared to what Milan have conceded.

On the other hand, I know Milan have been better in terms of attacking. But not too much, right?
Milan has scored 49 and Atalanta has scored 47.

So Even though I  thought that this match was probably going to be a 3 pointer for Milan,  this makes me think twice about it. I believe this is going to be a pretty close match. Any outcome is possible to be honest

Bologna victory could have been predicted before the match started because Verona had not given an impressive performance from the previous few matches, whereas Bologna is currently very enthusiastic about being able to catch up to 3rd place and after the victory against Verona, Bologna position is a little closer to Milan, with a difference of 4 points which makes Milan I was a little worried because the 4 point difference was very close while Milan was prioritizing the match at UEL.

In fact, if Joshua Zirkzee kick was on target, Bologna score could have been 3-0 and Giovanni Fabbian performance was extraordinary, not only did he get 1 score in this match but he also provided 1 assist which was quite impressive.
He is still young and Bologna has the opportunity to develop the talents of young players like Giovanni Fabbian who currently still need a lot of experience and currently Bologna is a very strong club that will become a new challenger for 3rd place if consistent success in the next few matches.

I agree with you, but I think Napoli can beat Cagliari. Consider the big picture. Cagliari shouldnt trouble Napoli despite their inconsistencies. Cagliari is near the bottom for a reason. They havent done well against top teams. However, Napoli can challenge Cagliari even in poor form. This match could be a turning point for them with key players back and no major injuries. A win here might boost morale and help them climb the standings. Im betting on Napoli because of their history against Cagliari and because this match is a wonderful chance to get back on track.

Bologna successfully maintained their good performances and with this winning, they created pressure on competitors that will play later on like Atalanta, Roma, Lazio, Fiorentina and Napoli.

Bologna did not start this season as a potential underdog but they are surprising all of us by chasing the fourth position very seriously.

The return of Osimhen can help Napoli in next months if he won't get other injures and absent in future. Napoli generally perform bad in this season and it looks unacceptable to see a champion which has to defend Scudetto is struggling beyond not only top four, but top six.

Napoli's chance to get in top four is very small and they firstly have to aim at top six to join either UEFA Conference League or Europa League next season. When they enter top six, they can think of higher position and see how good their chance to achieve it is at that time.

In my opinion the Bologna team played really well in today game against Verona. They did a great job throughout the match. On the other hand it looked like the Verona team had a hard time making a difference in the game because they didn't score any goals. We should recognize the good play of players like G. Fabbian and R. Freuler from the Bologna team who scored important goals during the game.

Most of these mediocre teams get punished because they choose to be on the losing end, they don't have what it takes to fight for three solid winning points on the table. Bologna was not here to jeopardize three winning points, they conquered and are standing strong enough to face tough oppositions this season. Hellas Verona boss, Marco Baroni and his team climbs near the relegation zone after their surprising 2-0 defeats against Bologna. This was particularly a game they would have put in their very best but they display relenting efforts, we're did that get them? Losing end right.

Bologna vs Verona Today's match between two teams, Bologna team played well from the beginning to the end of the game. Verona team could not score any goals in today's match due to the bad play of the Verona team players.  Team players G. Fabbian scored the 1st goal in 27 minutes and R. Freuler scored the 2nd goal in 65 minutes.

Napoli team is not in good form this season as we know. Their overall performance is very erratic. Is it still possible to consider this group as weak? I would say the Napoli team is not weak at all. They still have the ability to perform well against big teams. But the Napoli team is not able to maintain the continuity of the performance.

Napoli's chances of defeat against Cagliari are slim. Cagliari is not a strong team. Napoli's performance in the last 5 matches against this team has been quite good. Out of 5 matches, Napoli won 3 and drew 2. I would say if Napoli can keep their defense strong in this match they will be able to win.

Napoli's president was so skeptical with the condition of his club right now and this is not something that needs to be argued. he has been doing his best to save napoli but since spalletti was leaving the club by himself and why he can do to save the club? People were judging him without even try to knew the main reason why napoli president did it.
He was so skeptical with the performance from his club and it's also really annoying if you are an owner of club. Napoli has no chance anymore to win the competition. What club can do to make sure it will able to perform better till the end of season.
The only choice for napoli to qualify for the UCL next season. I don't even see a better target rather than this. it's caused by napoli can also add more money to the club. There will be many benefits received by napoli. The most important thing will be keeping the UCL spot for the upcoming season.

Napoli has won scudetto last season and club must have higher target compared to the previos match. Things are not going so well for napoli. I think that napoli's president shall not give the new coach a lot of burden. The club played so badly and it goes even worst than before.
I can't even believe how napoli president was doing the bad things to the its club but it's not totally his fault. If spalletti was willing to stay and i thought that the president will allow him.

You are really late about your views because now it's almost more them 4 hours Bologna won their game against Verona by score of 2–0, and now they are surely doing good for the having 4th spot even Atlanta is having 2 games in hand but currently with their performance they are third-best team in Serie A in last few weeks, and they are going to have good fight for the fourth spot in coming weeks as well because their defense and attack both are doing good job and allowing them to have good run of these wins now in next round they are going to visit Atlanta which is currently at the fifth spot and their two games are going to have big impact on their spot first they will visit AC Milan and then going to host Bologna.
