Of course this is the most beautiful debut for AC Milan's future star, Jan Carlo Simic! I'm not surprised that he played well in this match, because his performance was proven when AC Milan played against Real Madrid on the Pre-Season Tour. He was also able to stop and frustrate Vinicius.

As for Bartesaghi. He has very good speed, marking and positioning. But his mentality was still not formed, and when he attacked he seemed confused by the rhythm of AC Milan's game. His bodyball balance is still lacking. But overall he is worthy of being included in AC Milan's main squad. This is a good win for Milan to stay within points of first place.

I actually think they need to be criticized. Because criticism is going to actually point out what problems they have. Now of course these things have to be constructive criticism. Because there is no reason for anyone to go ahead and curse. Of course, there is a difference between constructive criticism and straight-up trash-talking. I want to see them bring in better scores. They will have to improve their performance a lot if they want to actually defend the title successfully. But to be honest at this moment but then defending the title successfully looks to be very hard.

Yes, Simic's goal was great for him and Milan. Milan urgently need to find a solution to their muscle injuries, otherwise it will be very difficult for them both in the league and in Europe. When I saw the score 3-0, I thought dida, maldini, serginho, nesta, stam, pirlo, gattunso, kaka, inzaghi, shevcenko were back in football. You know milan can't score like that these days. In the 3rd goal Giroud made the same assist in the Newcastle match, it is inconceivable to think and play so fast in the penalty area. He was seriously so good and it was an amazing pass. I also think future looked brighter for Milan.

Napoli's win against Caligari is not surprising. After Napoli's victory, they sit in fourth position 1 point ahead from Fiorentina and Roma. They need to continue performing like this to confirm their spot in UCL for the next season. Victor Osimhen has to be consistent in the scoring department. Almost half of the season is finished and I don’t think they can defend their Serie A title. Their upcoming match in Serie A is against Roma. Lukaku is injured and Dybala also absent it is a big advantage for them. I think they can win the match if they can keep up the recent performance.

No doubt Lazio is a strong team whenever they are playing at home and probably would want to engage Inter on a final draw if inter didn't persist in winning the match, But with the strength I have seen in the Inter Milan team lately, I doubt if Lazio would be able to denied them that 3 points which will help them stand some points clear ahead of their major league team contender Juventus whom they are currently gapping with just a point.

For Roma, it looks like they will swallow a bitter pill in this match because the current score is 2-0 and Bologna got 2 scores which is a bit convincing that they will beat Roma in today match.

Next, for Inter milan, it is time to re-strengthen the first position in the points table beating Lazio is not an easy task because Lazio already knows what strategy to use to maintain a draw because looking at the history of matches, Lazio can always win at home and today Lazio is competing again. at home, but if you predict the performance of the two clubs, Inter is far superior and what is certain is that both clubs will score.
We hope that Inter will immediately provide a slightly larger point difference from Juventus because this club could be a threat to Inter If they don't immediately provide a slightly larger difference, Juventus will definitely continue to chase Inter points.

The first half was passed in the match between Bologna vs AS Roma and Bologna had scored first, anyone who thinks AS Roma will score should also be more careful because I don't see Lukaku in the line up including on the bench as we know Lukaku is always a mainstay for scoring goals without Lukaku I doubt AS Roma can do it especially now that their opponent is Bologna I mean it's hard to beat Bologna when playing at home even Napoli, Lazio and Inter Milan couldn't do it so don't get trapped and I think Bologna will maintain this position until the end of the match, with an additional 3 points Bologna managed to reach the top 4 shifting Napoli who dropped one level. The battle for 4th and 5th place will continue at least 4 teams are fighting for this position and we can't yet predict who will get it moreover none of them are consistent in every match, Napoli can actually be relied on but there are still problems on the defense line.

By the way, in less than 1 hour we will see a big match between Lazio vs Inter Milan and Inter Milan as the away team needs more effort to beat Lazio clearly this is not an easy task  but Inter Milan still deserves to be the favorite, I think Inter Milan can win with a low score 0-1 or 1-2 and 3 points were enough for Inter Milan to leave Juventus even further behind. Juventus made a mistake in the last match by only playing a draw although they have to win every game to keep getting closer to Inter but Juventus wasted that opportunity, if Inter Milan win then Juventus is 4 points behind.

AC Milan had a flashy and strong win. They get these kinds of victories from time to time. Milan started the match quickly. Tijjani Reijnders scored Milan's first goal in the third minute. Reijnders draws attention with his play in the central midfield this season.

18-year-old young defender Simic came on as a substitute in his first match and scored his first goal. It was a perfect start and I'm sure it was a great feeling for him. This match looked like Milan was showing signs of a comeback.

Looks like that's the big possibility but these type of games do scare me a little bit as well. I did not put this game in my parlay, I did bet on Inter to win as an individual bet but I did not put it in my parlay.

Because when it looks like a team is easily the better team of the two against another good team, that's scary. Like for example when Juventus plays against Verona, I like to bet on Juventus, but when Juventus plays against Napoli, they do still have the higher chance to win, and most likely will win but I worry about that one because Napoli isn't bad. It's same here, Inter is better than Lazio and will win, but it is not the same win feeling as Inter playing against Empoli or something, it is different and scares me a bit.

Yes indeed, I believe there seems to be no more chance for Napoli to be able to defend the Scudetto because yes, with Napoli's current situation that is not entirely good. Moreover, it seems that Napoli's new coach is also not entirely appropriate to overcome the problems experienced by Napoli at this time. Therefore, it will certainly take time for Mazzarri to be able to provide a good performance for Napoli and it is unlikely to happen quickly either.

Therefore, because other teams besides Inter are still difficult to maintain a good trend then yes, at least at this moment Inter have a good chance of getting the Scudetto. Perhaps, it's too soon to predict the teams that will win the trophy as there is still the next half of the season. But, for now it seems pretty clear and I recognize Inter have been the best in Serie A so far this season.

Strong win for Ac Milan vs Monza.

Pioli is safe for now but it will be probably leave at the end of the season.

Not really, I appreciate your perspective, though I may not entirely share the same sentiment. They was a good and better side that season only for AC Milan to leapfrog em from behind and won the league.
The previous coach must have learnt his lessons and buckled his squad to win the Scudetto Competition last season. AC Milan won, I get  that to be part of my ticket, got disappointed with a draw game in the french league. Inter Milan tonight against Lazio, they win and they'll set a good gap between themselves and the Old Ladies ( Juventus ) who shared points with Genoa.

Hopefully Napoli qualifies for the Champions League next season. They're not too much of a bad team, they've just had a wrong coach tjis season Rudi Garcia who drained the energy of the squad with his poor tactics.

Yep, the match ended with a unanimous score for Milan and although my expectations were not well realized because Monza could not score a single goal there but I am quite happy with the results that occurred in this match.
On the other hand for the Inter match I think it would be a good advantage if it was bet on because whatever the probability is at the moment Inter are ahead even though they are playing away.
With the odds currently at 1.90 I think it would be a good bet and you're doing the right thing in this one because after all, it looks like Inter can still win this one.
But looking at Lazio's performance now I don't think it's a problem to bet on both clubs to score even though it's still risky especially Inter are still very good in terms of defense but I think it's still very worth it.

Also, Napoli current position is still being targeted by Roma and Bologna, which is 2 points different. If Bologna or Roma get three points in today match then Napoli position will drop to 5th place. But the Bologna vs Roma match also is unpredictable, both of team at the same level and I think there's still a possibility this match will end in a draw result.
Yes Napoli situation in the standings is full of pressure, but also Napoli performance seems already improve after Mazzarri leadership as head coach, and I hope they can back their good trend in every match to get a UCL ticket.

As Roma still have confidence in taking points in tonight's match, even though they are in difficult conditions without Lukaku and Dybala, it looks like Roma will still be able to get points at home to Bologna, there is not enough chance that Roma will play attacking because they have to win this match to continue. be consistent this week, because this victory will lift Roma to 5th place in the Serie A class to overtake Fiorentina who always overshadow As Roma, the conclusion is that they are still confident about Roma's situation without Dyala and Lukaku, even though they only rely on Andrea Belotti and El Shaarawy both still has the instinct to create goals and is still sharp for both attackers...

Indeed, this is a normal thing and should not be brought up and I would be prouder if Napoli could win the match against a similar team. But yes, this is a pretty good result as Napoli need points to maintain their current position. Osimhen performed well but it has become commonplace when he can only do it in weak teams and if he also did the same against Juventus or Inter maybe it would be something that doesn't need to be discussed.

Apart from that, Napoli will not be able to just sit still against Roma and be able to prove the expectations of some people to immediately get up and close the match with maximum results. Napoli must take advantage of Lukaku's absence due to a red card to score first and increase its attacking effectiveness.

Now Napoli is also starting to be chased by other teams such as Fiorentina after the Fiorentina team won in their home match today and Napoli's own number of points is also the same as Fiorentina. So Napoli are now really feeling the pressure to maintain their position in the top four of the standings and must be able to do something to stay in that position during this season. Because this season it will be very difficult for Napoli to get a trophy like they got last season, but at least Napoli can get a top four position so they can enter the UCL competition again next season.

You are right, Napoli continues to decline if we compare it to last season lower total goals and more conceded this is the impact of the defender move to Bayern Munich so that the defense area seems to have lost half its strength. Apart from that, Osimhen is also less productive this season we don't see him playing like last season where he looked more aggressive, we don't know whether this is due to internal conflict or whether Osimhen hasn't found his best game yet clearly we see something is missing from this player. In fact, next season Napoli has the potential to lose their place in the Champions League since AS Roma and Fiorentina were fighting for tickets there so far these 3 teams still have the same chance with only a difference of 1 - 2 points.

Napoli still remains one big name in the Italian league regardless of their recent set back of they are still performing a little above average regardless of the challenges, they have won a few games, in their last five games they were able to win two and lost the other three which were obviously due to absence of a few key players.

I don't think we should start blaming the changing of coach on the recent performance of Napoli because the immediate past coach wasn't doing we and the current have to take over from there where the past Coach dis stopped and see how well he can fix the team and so far he has been trying so I think basically more time should be given ro him and let's see how well he will further do probably before the season ends, mostly likely Napoli will get back strong again buy I doubt if they will be able to win the league title by the end of the season.

Roma will have to suffer the absence of two of their key players. I don't know how Jose Mourinho will cope without Lukaku and Dybala, maybe the combination of Andrea Belotti and Stephen El Shaarawy will be able to produced the expected results.

In reality, it will be difficult for Roma to win Bologna who have only lost 1 match at home this season against AC Milan. A draw in this match will be a great result for the away side.
