Yeah you are right betting on Napoli is just the right thing because Napoli is very much in a good form this season compare to Cagliari because irrespective of the matches Napoli had lost they have also had so many winings since the beginning of this season and even if they were unable to be on the first or second position on there table but they have manages to secure the 6 position on there table so if perhaps they win this match they will push bologna down from the table and enter the fifth position, so they really need to win the match.

Although with the performance of Cagliari on there last match I'm not even sure if they can be able to challenge Napoli on the first half without conceiving a lot of goals , however with the look of things there will be a lot of goals on the match.

With Napoli higher current standings position from Cagliari they are not any option yet except have to win, Napoli performance in domestic league very poor after losing last two matches before from Juventus and Inter Milan make their position stuck on 6th standings. Comparison with squad composition no doubt wit Napoli but they have bad trend in domestic league will can stoppable against Cagliari with teams has one points remaining from relegation zone? Cagliari performance not actually quit well yet although last match won against  Sassuolo but Cagliari loss 8 of 15 matches in domestic league.
Cagliari opponent next match is chance for Napoli break to top fourth standings with AS Roma has one points left and Walter Mazzari can make their squad get confidence back after losing two matches in domestic league.

Yeah previously Milan even won the Serie A title in the 2021/22 season. However they are struggling to be a part of a title competition for two seasons. Napoli dominated the whole season previously though so no other team were able to keep up with them. But right now things are different. More than one team are in this competition now.

Milan need to deal with their defending first I assume. Because their scoring capability isn't that bad however I can't say the same for their defensive side.    They are one of the most conceding teams among the ones at top positions right now.

Italian clubs are increasing their strength but sadly in this season we have poor run from the defending champions Napoli which is currently at the sixth spot as they have just three points from their last four games and their defence is consistently giving them problems they are conceding enough goals even their attack is much stronger but still they are having not good performance and their chances for the jumping into top two is already ended but if they want to stay into top four they need to work on their defence otherwise they are going to have problems for staying in top ranks.

Victor Osimhen is now return from his injury and now already announces about his extension which will be going to have positive impact but if they want to stay as defending champions then still they need to be much better and consistent side for the rest of this season.

Now chances are ended for them to have anything near the top two spots because they are having 12 points difference from the Juventus which is second behind Inter Milan which is having top spot in Serie A table and their performance is also not good for having top spot in this season with we have to blame management which not able to bring suitable players for relative spots which are creating problems for them in this season but now from here if they want to stay at better spot they need to do much better and board also needs to bring quality players which give them better performance and quality for having good end of this season while they are currently defending champions which is surely having another impact on them.

Juventus have that advantage, and that's what they're utilizing right now. With a schedule that's not as hectic as its competitors, it's certainly an advantage for them to be able to maintain the fitness of the players they have very well.
Juventus seemed to realize it all since the beginning of the season and they immediately gave proof with their good performances this season. Although on paper Inter Milan are slightly better than them, it's not a huge difference and that's proven by the draws these two clubs have had against each other.
In terms of readiness it also seems that Juventus are better prepared this season.

Napoli should have everything to win the match against Cagliari. First, this match will take place at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. And secondly, Napoli's ranking is much better than Cagliari's, which is even having difficulty avoiding the relegation zone. The third reason is that Napoli has much better squad depth, and the last is that Napoli has a performance above Cagliari. So betting on Napoli for this match is really the right choice. Because there is no reason for Napoli to lose to Cagliari, who have only just been promoted this season from Serie B. In fact, I have a feeling that Cagliari might return to the relegation zone. And maybe they won't stay in Serie A until next season either.

I really agree with you, in the end Lautaro is really proving to be very strong. If Napoli worked well and Victor managed to score it would be a good challenge, the competition for the top scorer this year is not very interesting in fact.

AC Milan this season has been very inconsistent so they are many points behind in the current Serie A standings and that is the best comparison with Inter Milan and also Juventus who have been quite consistent so far but this season is still a very long way to go and AC MIlan is one of the teams that deserves it. to be wary of because they have strong power.

Regarding the points behind, I don't think it's a big problem as long as the AC Milan team can improve and maintain its consistency, this season is still very long and anything is still possible.

AC Milan which was fourth in last season due to 10 points deduction of Juventus they have this spot currently they are at the third spot and most chances they will be able to stay at this spot for few more weeks but if they want to stay here until end of this season then surely they need to improve their performance and also having consistency which is currently not available.

In last few matches they are suffered by lost of 7 points and having problems against weaker sides which are giving them setbacks, but they are also having not enough funds for improving their defence which is the most problematic area for them but if they are able to increase strength then surely we can expect they will end with good note in this season.

Victor Oshimen will remain an important player for Napoli, even though the club condition is currently unstable, but his presence will always be a priority for the club in facing various matches, so it is only natural that Napoli continue to extend his contract with Victor Oshimen.
Last season the player brought Napoli to the title but was coached by a suitable manager like Spalletti. Maybe if the manager was still at the club, Victor Oshimen would still be a striker who created many goal for Napoli. This season, Napoli was forced to use a new manager where Victor Oshimen need time to use the strategy used by the coach to be able to show his best.

This decision is indeed the best for the team and also for him, regardless of previous mistakes, but they are both aware of the management mistakes and have forgiven each other so that Victor Oshimen still wants to make his contribution to the club.
Yes, this award deserves to be given to Victor Oshimen because he is indeed the best African player at the moment. I am also happy with the title that Oshimen won.

In terms of focus, Juventus should be more superior. because they will only compete for Serie A and the Italian Cup. compared to other competitors such as Inter and Milan who have to divide the players' focus on the Champions League and Europa League. Of course, fatigue can occur in players in the main squad if player rotation is not carried out well by the coach.
Sometimes coaches are reluctant to replace their best choice of players, but this actually harms the players' own performance.

This is a big match but because Lazio is not very good, this could be a match that Inter Milan wins quite convincingly, especially since Inter Milan has not managed to beat Lazio on their opponent's home field for quite a long time, this can increase motivation and also because Inter Milan only two points ahead of Juventus, which is relatively having an easier match because it is against Genoa, so Juventus' chances of winning are very big, so Inter Milan must win this match against Lazio to maintain the point difference with Juventus, what's more, Inter Milan cannot be stopped yet and their game is very impressive, especially their striker who can be said to always score a goal in every match, in contrast to Lazio who had very few goals, Inter Milan got 3 points in this match which was very wide open, so Juventus will still not replace Inter Milan at the top of the standings.

@hd49728 Juventus definitely have the advantage of playing only in the Serie A because they’re able to concentrate all their resources to win the league title. Furthermore I strongly feel that Milan won’t win the title because of dropping in the Europa League as playing Thursday night football will effect the player’s and it may even cause them lots of fatigue if they keep progressing ahead in the Europa League tournament.

They have chance, small but not too small and we have to count a big factor that AC Milan will no longer play any more match in Champions League. After the group phase in Champions League ends, AC Milan ends their group at the third position and will play two play off matches with a club in Europa League. Even they will a winner from play-off and go next, matches in Europa League will be less pressure than in Champions League. It gives AC Milan more time to focus on Serie A matches and they can use it to chase Inter Milan and Juventus.

Juventus of course has biggest advantage by only playing in Serie A while Inter Milan will have most difficulties as they will play in Champions League.

Yeah of course the opportunity is still available but it is definitely very low especially Milan is already 11 points behind, of course it is very difficult to catch teams like Juventus and Inter who continue to consistently win I mean almost impossible, unless Juventus and Inter get 6 consecutive defeats in the upcoming match well, maybe Milan can catch up but that obviously doesn't make sense   Basically, this season the race only takes place between Juventus and Inter Milan while AC Milan and other teams are only fighting for the remaining 2 Champions League tickets and AC Milan is not really safe there because Napoli, Fiorentina and Roma can still catch up, 5 points behind is not something that is difficult to catch especially there's still half the season left.

If we pay attention, Inter Milan has gone further just look at their total goals almost 2x more than other teams they also conceded the fewest goals this means that overall they are ready to fight with anyone especially Juventus, although actually I hope Juventus win the title this season but somehow they can compete with Inter Milan. Juventus still has a chance if Inter Milan advances in the champions league then they will have a busier schedule well Juventus can take advantage of that it's just that this is an unconfirmed hope 

I think AC Milan has a small chance to chase Inter and Juventus. AC Milan played inconsistently during this season, they no longer played well like the previous season. In the previous season, AC Milan can compete with some teams for the runner up position. But this season, I think AC Milan only has the chance to finish in 3rd place. Inter and Juventus look in a different level this season, they could play more consistent than other teams in Serie A. If Juventus and Inter Milan don't experience bad things like injury players, I'm sure these teams will stay in the top of Serie A standings until the end of this season.

Yes, the point gap is 7 points. It won't be easy for AC Milan to shorten the point gap. Moreover, Juventus looks very stable in playing, they are unlikely to miss points against smaller teams.

I agree with you Napoli has not been very strong as they were when they won the league last season probably because they didn't add more Stars to their team but I think they have managed to maintain a good performance in the champions League as they are able to make it out of the group stage. I think one of the things that affected the performance and a little poor form of Napoli was a change in the coach that won the league with them. Though I think Napoli may not have the opportunity to win the league this season but I believe they will go far in the UCL and they will make it to the top4 in the league

There are presence of top teams in Italy and the best club wins the scudetto. Napoli will start winning matches but for now, they don't possess the require options to explore in games. Napoli are in possession of Victor Osimhen who's exceptionally one of the best attackers in Seria A and also the present best player in Africa this season. With him in the frontline, everything becomes very tactic and important for the club. The new coach, Walter Mazzarri can make good use of the Nigerian in matches and experiencing defeats becomes minor thing for the club.

Well, if you look at Napoli this season, of course they are easier to beat by their opponents when napoli play at home, so the upcoming match will be difficult for Napoli to end their bad streak. Yes, in terms of strength, Napoli is quite strong compared to Cagliari, but in the last 5 matches in Serie A, Napoli lost a lot of points and was easily beaten by their opponents. So for Walter Mazzarri, of course this match will be a crucial match for them because if they lose again it will be difficult for napoli to get back into the top 4.

Cagliari previously won the match against Sassuolo and this victory was an asset for them when they came to Napoli home ground. We'll see whether Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia will be able to bring Napoli to victory in this match or fail to return to winning ways. In another match, Bologna will face Roma and this match will determine their fate as to who will be able to maintain their ranking this week. If Roma fails, it is possible that Napoli and Bologna will move their ranking and if they win, Roma will be able to widen the distance from the pressure of Napoli and Bologna who are below their ranking.
