The battle for the top of the standings is getting fiercer now that Juventus is at the top of the standings after beating Monza and Inter Milan's match will of course be decisive in securing their position, of course Intermilan must win against Napoli if they want to take back the top of the standings from Juventus, but it looks like Napoli will be a difficult opponent for Inter Milan in this week's meeting.

I know that Napoli haven't looked consistent since having a new coach, Rudi Garcia, but it looks like they might be able to give Inter Milan a surprise, which could happen. They are ready to play optimally against Inter Milan this week. Playing as the host should also be a favorite. Napoli can show all fans that they can get full points by beating Inter Milan or at least can hold a draw and not lose points.

This is the most exciting match this week in Serie A. How could this match not be so important for both teams. For Napoli, this match will be an opportunity to strengthen their position in the top four. and for Inter, this is an important match that must be won in order to overtake Juventus in first place.

I predict the Napoli vs Inter Milan match will be tough. because both teams have equally good quality players. In this match, Napoli are slightly favored because they are playing in front of their own supporters, but considering that Napoli is with its new coach, I will bet on Inter Milan's victory in this match because usually with a new coach, Napoli needs to get used to it, so during a big match like this, the coach's decision is also determine the final result.

Of course this will not be easy for AC Milan because AC Milan's current performance is inconsistent, but considering that this match is being played at AC Milan's home ground and in terms of quality the AC Milan team is slightly superior to Frosinone, it must be admitted that AC Milan's percentage to win this match much bigger.
Frosinone is a pretty good promotional team this season, now they are in the middle of the Serie A standings with 5 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats, this is not too bad for a promoted team.

AC Milan must be careful with Frosinone, although they are a promotion club this season, but they can show something good as a promotion club. As a promoted club they are not that good, but I can say they are not disappointing either. Usually it is clubs like this that will make it very difficult for a club as big as AC Milan.
Lack of focus will greatly affect the outcome of the match, and indeed that is one weak point that AC Milan currently has.
As the hosts, they must present a victory to their supporters.

Napoli facing Inter Milan, a tough one and I wouldn't blame Naooli if they lose that match afterall they're not in good shape this season. Napoli have excellent players, these players are extremely good but they lack the require qualities to access in matches, they really need to step up their game if they still want to win matches. Napoli is the defending champions and I've watch their highlights in previous games, it doesn't mean anything other than inconsistent performance and stats, recording impressive game today and losing next weekend, that's how they operates.

Napoli seems not a tough opponent for intermilan. I think that intermilan will still win the game against napoli. FYI, napoli was not on its best. I have no reason to call that inter will lose against napoli. Napoli needs to be careful caused by it was facing the strongest team.
I hope that napoli will able to beat intermilan caused by im willing to see juventus to stay even longer in the top position right now. I don't really care so much about how napoli will play against intermilan.

As long as napoli will able to win the game and that's enough for me. Osimhen needs to put more effort into the game. He shall also help the defensive line rather than only waiting for the ball at upfront.
Intermilan will be playing defensive against napoli. Napoli needs to play offensive if it was willing to get three points from intermilan. Inter will do everything to make sure it will not lose three points.

I didn't expect Monza to be able to put up quite a good fight in this match. And the goal scored in the 91st minute really succeeded in surprising everyone who bet on Juventus. In fact, I immediately fell silent when I saw Monza equalize. Well, luckily Juventus was able to get another goal from Gatti in the 94th minute. And this victory is very important for Juventus to be able to move up to 1st place. But now what all Juventus fans can hope for is that Inter Milan loses the match against Napoli. But if Napoli fails to beat Inter Milan and Inter Milan wins the match, Inter Milan will return to 1st place quite proudly. But I think Napoli could have a pretty good chance this time. Because currently it seems that Napoli also has a slight improvement in performance after the change of coach at the club. Napoli's attack line is a little better than usual. And maybe this time Osimhen can start from the first round if his condition improves.

I really understand the condition of Juventus, while this team was able to perform extraordinary to reach the top of the serie A standings even with only the existing players, but this is all thanks to the coach who has a very appropriate strategy to take advantage of the situation of other big teams who focus on other competitions so that Allegri has more freedom to be able to compete in the long term in series A to defend the Scudetto title, even though at this time it is not guaranteed and can only be temporarily at the top of the standings, but we will see later whether Inzaghi team can perform consistently in 2 different competitions and that will definitely be a difficult task very heavy.

I speculate that if Juventus can be at the top of the standings, maintain their points and provide a point difference of at least 9 points, it will definitely make it difficult for Inter to catch up because Inter will face Napoli, who was a strong team last season and the return of the mainstay player has a very good advantage.

The game yesterday was great entertainment. There were two goals in the 8 minute overtime. Of course the game should have been easy for Juventus, Vlahovic missed the penalty in minute 11 and Rabiot then quickly made it 1-0. A second goal should have been scored in the first 45 minutes. No matter, the game was won and the 3 points are enough for first place in Serie A.

Juventus managed to win at 94" after taking a goal at 91".

It was a thrilling ending but the only thing that matters is that they are in 1st spot for now, until Inter will face Napoli.

Finally, Juventus can overtake Inter Milan at the top of the standings, one mission has been successfully carried out, all that remains is to hope and support Napoli to overcome Inter's steps so that they can stay in first place. Alleggri will be very grateful if that happens, however I tend to think that the Napoli versus Inter match will end in a draw, but we'll see. What is clear is that this match is really worth waiting for, because it determines the top of the standings.

In terms of quality, Inter is still better than any team in Serie A, even Juventus. Not without reason, we can refer to the standings as proof, the number of goals scored, the number of goals conceded and the depth of the squad between the two puts them ahead in the hunt for the Scudetto. But this time, Napoli will test the advantages that Inter has, with new coach Walter Mazzarri.

For consideration, I prefer the match between Napoli vs Inter to be avoided. Because it is quite difficult to predict the final result, although I have said above that this match is likely to end in a draw.

I thought Juventus' victory last night was almost lost because in the minute of injury time Monza was able to equalize the score at 1-1 and not long after that Juventus immediately reversed the score to 1-2. Juventus almost drew against Monza and it would be very painful if the victory in front of them was lost.

Luckily, Gatti managed to score the winning goal in the 90+4 minute, otherwise Juventus would lose 3 points and the bettors would be very upset with the draw. Juventus should have scored more goals because the previous one goal advantage was still very little to secure victory and I think that should not happen again. Currently Juventus is at the top and Inter must win against Napoli if they want to regain their position.

That game against Benfica was really awkward. But Inter still managed to make a huge comeback from being 3-0 behind. I assume there was some complacency by Inter side there. Because they already guaranteed last 16 so they didn't need to show their best performance.

But against Napoli I'm quite confident that we would see a much better effort from Inter players. Especially Lautaro Martinez is on fire so his goal contribution will be really crucial here as well. But I won't bet on a side here for sure. I didn't do so for the Juventus - Inter game too. 

I honestly don't know if Juventus will be able to stay at the top of the table for a long time, considering Juventus' next matches, they have to face Napoli in the next match on the calendar and they have the match against Roma in 2023. Inter have one less match to play, but they have no more direct clashes scheduled other than Napoli in this match, so on paper they have a lighter calendar

Yes, even though Juventus took over the first position, they are only 1 point different from Inter Milan so Inter Milan can still catch up, Inter Milan's win or draw results will be superior because Inter Milan's goal productivity is more than Juventus, this is the match that Inter Milan will play later. a little difficult because Napoli is not a weak club, especially since Napoli is playing at home, of course Napoli will show their best in front of their supporters.

Napoli doesn't need a draw because what is certain is that Napoli will defend the 3 points so that Inter don't steal them. Napoli is very ambitious to reach first place like last season so I think the match between Inter Milan and Napoli will definitely be fierce and if Napoli wins then Napoli can Shifting Milan to 3rd position.
However, if there is a draw, Inter Milan will return to first position, so the competition in Serie A will become more competitive, seeing that the distance between the top clubs is only a small difference.

Yes, even though Juventus has now been able to return to the top of the standings, if we look at its performance it will be very difficult for this team to compete for the Scudetto. Allegri certainly has to evaluate his squad in order to set targets. This season the Bianconeri only benefit from the schedule because they only focus on local competitions so the players have more time. But what is clear is that the hard-won victory at Monza is important capital for the old lady to solidify her position at the top of the standings.

I don't think Monza is weakness opponent team for Juventus looking how difficult to get three points and need waiting until last minutes for scoring winning goals trough Federico Gatti. Actually  Juventus have chance for winning above three goals but Dusan Vlahovic failed scoring goal from penalty kick on 11th minutes match begin. Crucial winning from Juventus on last minutes although they have lead awhile from Adrien Rabiot goal on 12th minutes but AC Monza success comeback on last minutes from Andrea Carboni goal on 92th minutes before Federico Gatti become man of the match for Juventus.

Its not really important with how Juventus crucial winning achievement because three points more enough move up to the first standings and waiting Inter Milan match result against Napoli. If Inter get chance miss three points will give advantage for Juventus keep on the top position place until next matchday.
 

Massimiliano Allegri have to thoroughly work on the squad because with what I've seen them play, they don't have all it takes to compete for long time for the scudetto this season. Juventus have decline in performance this season with their current play, it's not improving at all. Watching the highlights and dominated football from Monza, I would give credits to the losing home team because they settle and dominated both halves without an atom of facing difficulties, the only one they tend to face was winning not able to net goals against the Old Lady.

Yes, when they played with Atalanta they managed to win well and when they met Real Madrid in the UCL it wasn't that bad because they were still able to play by scoring 2 goals even though they had to accept defeat with score of 4 - 2.
I just want to see how Mazzarri works for Napoli if they have to face strong teams from Serie A like Inter and Juventus because matches like this can be proof that they are still worthy and Mazzarri arrival can bring change.

So that why we have to see the results of this match, after all, this match is very important for Napoli to be able to improve the standings.
And when they succeed, there is possibility that Mazzarri can get trust or ticket for longer contract extension.
But this is difficult match and will indeed make Napoli experience some pressure.

If we talk about Napoli development with Rudi Garcia and Mazzarri this season, it can be concluded that Mazzarri is much better because he managed to provide glimmer of hope and there have been some quite significant changes.
But this is not about Rudi Garcia and Mazzarri but about how new coach Mazzarri works to prepare their squad to face match where it is clear that the opponent is the favorite team with truly undoubted strength.
We can only wait and see how Napoli will face Inter and Juventus to be able to prove that Mazzarri is indeed worthy of being the right coach.

Yes, Juventus gets the advantage that they played against a weak team like Monza. So, they could get 3 points and lead the table now. Although it is still matchday 14, leading Serie A standings will boost the motivation the whole players to always perform with their best in each match.

I thought Vlahovic and Chiesa will score goals but it didn't happen. However, 2 goals made by Rabiot and Gatti is enough to get 3 points. Vlahovic and Chiesa seem to play better in the next matches, so the productivity of goals can be better.

It is true that Napoli will play against Inter Milan. Since the match will be at Napoli home, I think it won't be an easy match for Inter Milan. I guess Inter Milan has a chance to miss point in the upcoming match.
