Fighting for the title is not an easy thing to do because clubs have to be consistent in order to be able to fight for the title. While currently Juventus no longer has the opportunity to fight for the title with Inter Milan again because Juventus' performance is slowly declining and they are already quite far behind Inter Milan. Even so, Juventus can still maintain their top 3 position so that next season they can qualify for the Champions League qualifying round because last season Juventus failed to get that ticket because they finished in 7th place.

After experiencing defeat with Inter Milan, Juventus became uncontrollable and had difficulty stabilizing its performance. In fact, initially it was quite far from Milan, but now Milan is closer to Juventus and is only 2 points behind. Now Juventus' position in 2nd place is slightly threatened because Milan performance has started is good if Juventus continues to perform less than optimally like this, it is very likely that Milan will occupy second place, so Juventus must start focusing now so that they don't lose points in the next matches so that they continues to be below Inter Milan.
I don't know about this news yet and on what basis did Juventus make a mistake to be banned from playing in the Champions League? while Juventus themselves are struggling to reach this stage this season.

Victor Osimhen recovery is going to have nothing positive with Napoli now because damage is already done, and they are going to be had no chance for the going into top five with for me most chances they will be going to end out of the top 8 teams because things are not positive injuries and change of coaches are going to have nothing if your strategy is not going to be good for the improving quality and having some consistency.

In upcoming matches, they are having few tough matches which are surely not easy for them with all teams are giving their best for staying into top spots and while they will face them things could be also not favourable for them with their players confidence level is also down, and they are surely needed to start from next season for having something good now this is all over for them with as defending champions they are having the worst performance at the end.

Juventus and Inter should surely win this match as they are both playing with a weaker team. I can't say much about Bologna but glad they won their match already. Best of luck to anyone who had played this game as it should be a winning game for them.

This is normal because it is certain that Juventus has no way to catch Inter Milan, Juventus is 9 points behind and Inter Milan still has 1 match to play, meaning there is a potential additional 3 points for Inter Milan so I can't imagine what Juventus will do to get closer. I believe Inter Milan is safely at the top of the standings while Juventus and AC Milan will fight for 2nd place, AC Milan is only 2 points behind and they have a chance to take over after Juventus played poorly in the last 4 matches. In the coming weeks we should avoid betting on Juventus as they could potentially throw the game away I mean don't expect anything losing and winning is not a problem.

With Osimhen recovery, it will be easier for Napoli to get an additional three points when they visit Cagliari. Napoli chance to finish in the top four of the standings is increasingly difficult with the current point difference, because Napoli have to wait for Bologna, Atalanta, Roma, Lazio and Fiorentina to lose points. Something that is very unlikely to happen, and now the competition is increasing because Roma is starting to rise too, De Rossi has brought improvements to the club. The most logical target that Napoli could possibly achieve is a ticket to the Europa League, but if they still lose points this will not be possible.

Statistically, the chances of victory tend to be in Napoli favor, and a change of coach is likely to be the basis for the Napoli squad motivation in this match. In the Champions League, Napoli managed to hold Barcelona to a draw thanks to a goal from Osimhen, I think he will again be the player who can make the difference in the outcome of the match when Napoli face Cagliari tomorrow. It was the first match for Napoli new coach at Serei A, I wish him luck.

The odds of Juventus lifting the scudetto have changed after their decline in previous league matches, huge blows on the club and the manager, Massimiliano Allegri will attempt to comprehend the club. Juventus have suffered this season, putting up an impressive start in the early sections of the current 2023/2024 Seria A campaign. Where are the Old Lady currently? They're in the second place and that doesn't pose any solid threat for the pre-eminent rival for the scudetto. Inter Milan will continue to win matches because they're the only team capable of handling tough and inferior oppositions this season.

What are the nice picks here? It is what 95% of the people would do that want to play it safe even though this doesn't guarantee they will win, but the it is still a 3-way multibet and the odds are yet pretty low because it is all about the huge favorites in these games. The only game that gives the odds a little boost is the game Bologna - Hellas Verona, but hell what can you do. Going for a draw or a surprise? Nobody would do that. And if I now get corrected because it is not supposed to be a multibet, then I wonder what's to be won there if you go with Lecce - Inter and pick Inter and Juventus - Forisnone and pick Juventus at home? Does it even pay off? Or is it just betting for fun and then watch the game and see if you were right? Not gonna get rich with those picks I guess.

Napoli who happens to be the reigning champions of Italy have failed to replicate their impressive performance of last season in the league this season and have been totally the opposite of the impressive Napoli team of last season. Because of their consistent inconsistency in the Italian Serie A as well as in the UEFA Champions League, it's now very difficult to predict their games. Despite being managed by three different managers this season, Napoli is still very unlikely to finish the season in the top four of the Italian Serie A and that I think is a very bad record for the club.

Tomorrow in the Italian Serie A, Napoli will play an away league game at Cagliari and would need a win in that game in to increase their chances of battling their way into the top four of the Italian Serie A table. Cagliari who happens to be unimpressive as well this season I don't think should be a big challenge for Napoli tomorrow but considering the fact that they'll be playing that game in their own home ground, I think they also stand a chance of getting a good result from the game but if I'm to bank on the game, I'll go for a Napoli win or draw in that particular Italian Serie A fixture

Nice picks though as Bologna stood very strong and defeated Hallas Verona 2:0, for the Inter Milan and Lecce game, it's going to be a sure winning for Inter as they are looking forward to securing the league by not dropping points unnecessarily whi h could hinder their chances of increasing the gap difference between them and Juventus even though they stand in a better chance of winning the game. Juventus is also a good pick to win as they are looking for a win that will increase the teams motivation as they have been in poor performance in their last two  matches but hopefully they win against Frosinone.

The problem of Napoli is their own president.
He believed that he could won just changing the coach since he believed he got a strong team.

But this is not an easy game and they can't win just with a random coach even if the players are the same.

And not only this, their president was also the man who did the market session with catastrophic results.

In fact, after Spalletti left, there were many assumptions that Napoli would experience a decline in their performance this season and that was true because Napoli looked very weak in Serie A this season after they became champions in the previous season. Yes, now Napoli have fired Mazzarri again because his performance was not as expected. Meanwhile, the Napoli owners have appointed Calzona as their new coach for the remainder of this season. Napoli have changed their coach three times this season starting from Rudi Garcia, Mazzari and now Calzona who is their new coach. For this reason, I think the very limited time will make it very difficult for Calzona to bring about changes for Napoli.

However, apart from that, we hope that Calzona can perform better compared to Mazzarri because this season Napoli is still competing in the Champions League so Calzona has a good opportunity to show his expertise in bringing the Napoli squad to go far in the Champions League. The second leg will be proof for Calzona in coaching Napoli because if he succeeds in beating Barcelona, ​​of course he is the coach that Napoli really needs.

The fight for title race is usually even more fierce because if you are able to win the title race you automatically qualify for the champions league and if para venture you miss the title and finish at the second position you will still qualify for the champions league so I think usually the fight for the title is usually paramount because alongside you could still qualify for the champions league if it doesn't pull through.

Juventus has really been inconsistent and has been at the three points of the the table which includes the bottom, top and than the middle but currently if they are able to maintain their form along side some strength they will be able to be amongst top four but then qualifying for the champions league, I don't know much about that except their ban has been lifted because I came across a news rho not really verified, that stated Juventus been banned for some seasons form the champions league but that asides Juventus may most likely get to finish amongst top for and they have still got a fair form.

Your loss of bets to them doesn’t make it conclusive that this team will always be poor and they won’t be able to be at their best again just like they were last season. Napoli’s performance is really shocking to everyone and we all thought they’ll play better this season after a spectacular season last year that gave them the league title. I am not also expecting too much from them this season again but playing against Cagliari should be an easy win for them even though their performance is not encouraging anymore. I hope things gets better for them by next season or they’ll lost their glory they’ve recently built after so many years.

Verona played a hot game tonight; they were badly beaten by Bologna. Although I even thought Bologna wouldn’t be able to have more goals, when the game started, to the greatest surprise of my life, I saw they were giving Verona a hot dinner. Honestly, Bologna's performance today was so amazing and nice because they played a game with experience and passion. Seeing their performances in the first half made me impressed, but I never thought the game would be so hot for Verona. 

Verona also knows they can’t win the game that is hot; they lock so weak in the game, but they also tried their best more over the last game they played; if I am not mistaken, they also lost against Bologna, which was on December 22. For sure, yes, that was how the game also happened, but they always try their best because I wasn't even thinking that the game might end up in a draw until Bologna scored their second goal, which is when I lost hope in Verona. 

I don't think so, in yesterday's match Torino played better than Lazio, but they couldn't score a goal in this match because many of the opportunities they had were wasted. Well for Lazio when they built their attack they managed to score a goal, even for the second goal I think Cataldi was in quite a tight space but he managed to complete his shot into a goal.

For this reason, Torino performance was considered good but they failed to score a goal and Lazio managed to score even though they were in a pressured situation in this match. Indeed, this season Lazio, when playing at home, was defeated by Torino in their first meeting, but in the second meeting Lazio managed to get their revenge by beating Torino in front of their supporters.

Juventus are still very good but their performance in 90 minutes of matches is still experiencing some problems including in the problem of productivity which is not very good.
This still has to be improved if their goal is to compete with Inter because after all with the conditions they are experiencing now honestly competing with Inter in the midst of poor finishing conditions is not very good and maybe even this cannot be done.

The situation for Inter now is that they're very comfortable in Serie A and if their form doesn't drop I honestly doubt whether they'll be able to catch them or not because at the moment the only hope in the competition is for Inter to have a dip in form and a poor result in a match. If that doesn't happen then it's definitely Inter who get the Scudetto this season.

Indeed, in this match, Torino did not provide enough tough resistance for Lazio. Because of this, Lazio can really control the match. Even though Torino basically had that opportunity, their attack was not strong enough.
Next, Lazio has to play Fiorentina, in this match, at least, Lazio also has to win again. And they have a chance to win again in a bigger way.

And on the other hand, Milan will meet Atalanta and if one of them loses, it will be an opportunity for Lazio to narrow the points gap with Atalanta. This is a good thing for Lazio, oh yeah, Roma does it, too.

It seems that Bologna will win this match.
Current score live:
Bologna 2 - Verona 0
The match is also almost over.

Lazio performance proves that they are more in a good shape than Torino because the kind of pattern Torino was playing was not encouraging at all and also they could not even use there home advantage against Lazio because of there inconsistency and Lazio had to use the opportunity and win them but although I was thinking that Torino will fight back after Lazio had the red card but they could not take advantage of the opportunity. Lazio is actually lucky because this wining has greatly helped them a lot by improving on the table so perhaps if they also wins there next match they will advance the more on the table.

This is the influence of a coach on a football team, really big. Even with the same players, tactics, strategy, training, mental strengthening, and also the bonding between players and coaches are very important and interrelated. That's why it will be quite difficult if one or even several of these factors are not met. I don't know when Napoli will be that solid again. We can't possibly have too much hope for the new coach this time, maybe even the same as Gracia. Just waiting for next season whether there will be another breakthrough that is more reasonable and successful for Napoli or not.

Bologna's performance so far has been quite impressive. And currently, the match between Blogna vs Verona is still ongoing.
Bologna is leading with 1 goal
Yes, the current match is 1 - 0.

Not only that, Bologna really dominated the match, Verona seemed quite difficult to keep up with Bologna's attacks. It's just that unfortunately several shots on target for Bologna still failed and were pushed over by the Verona goalkeeper. This is quite impressive.

When it comes to the title race and champions league slot fight, stability is one of the major factor that is considered because even if a team is good and well know for playing good football the consistent factor still needs to be there and the moment that teams is never consistent then securing a top four slot will be very hard for them and Juventus is an example of such team that lacks that consistency and I if they fail to do so then they should gladly say bye bye to the champions league slot .
