Inter Milan's force this season is not highly appreciated compared to last season, but in return, they have perfect chemistry. Losing 3 pillars in the summer of 2023: goalkeeper Andre Onana to Manchester United, Romelu Lukaku not continuing his loan contract from Chelsea, and veteran defender Milan Skriniar. Recently, A double from the duo Hakan Calhanoglu and Lautaro Martinez, plus a goal from Marcus Thuram, helped Inter Milan win 5-1 at Monza, firmly consolidating their leading position in the Serie A rankings. Inter Milan was Halfway gone. Inter Milan has qualified for the Champions League knockout stage from a complex group and is progressing strongly domestically. But it's too early to say Inter Milan is the strongest team in the domestic tournament.
Juventus is pursuing them. Juventus clearly understands that they are not allowed to lose points against Sassuolo. Only then will Juventus have hope of overthrowing Inter Milan this season.

Believe me he cannot leave the African Cup of Nations Competitions for Napoli right now, at this point it's the National Team that comes first. Even if he decides to leave right, lots of clubs are already chasing and trailing the big man for a long time now, this won't be a difficult issue, all he need do Is come to agreement with a club he likes them project. The Afcon is as important as the World Cup for Africans, very important.

They have Khivicha Kvaratskhelia, he can do the work for them!

For Jose Mourinho, there's no way possible he'll stay another year with As Roma, what a awful show last night, no creativity to Lukaku to score was seen.

When discussing Serie A, of course Juventus is king there because they are the most successful team in the title race and have the most titles. Juventus experienced decline only last season and it looks so significant with the case that befell them so they had to experience points deduction.
Juventus is also the most successful team in Italy because its achievements in Serie A and also the UCL can be said to be quite impressive, no team from Italy can surpass Juventus achievements.
In the last few seasons, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Napoli may have been teams that could be at the top and become one of the strongest team, but this season only Inter Milan has the chance to hold off Juventus in the race for the title.
AC Milan cannot yet optimize their performance and beat Inter Milan because they still need lot of changes to be able to make all of that happen.
I sure that this season only Inter Milan and Juventus will have chance of winning the Serie A title.

We all know that AC Milan is on fire but it is still not comparable to the performance that Inter Milan has.
The difference in points between the two alone reaches 9 points and this is very large difference, Inter Milan itself has only had 1 defeat while AC Milan has suffered 4 defeats.
I still think it is impossible for AC Milan to be able to compete with Inter Milan, unless AC Milan can minimize losses and increase wins from the start, then they can have the opportunity.

We know that Juventus still have a chance to win the Scudetto it's just that Juventus doesn't make it easier I mean Juventus missed some of the previous opportunities for example Juventus only drew against Genoa, if Juventus won the match they would have the same points as Inter Milan but in fact not. Besides that Juventus have the advantage because they don't play more busy this month but they can't use it. What Juventus do now is waiting for Inter Milan to fall while they do not take advantage of the situation.

Fiorentina was almost embarrassed by Udinese in front of their supporters, an additional goal from the penalty spot saved Fiorentina from defeat. A record of four consecutive wins at home was stopped by a team that should have been beaten easily. Previously, Fiorentina also managed to keep clean sheets in the last three matches played at home, but this record had no effect on Udinese.

Udinese managed to break the initial predictions that led to Fiorentina victory, their play was very aggressive and made good use of opportunities, making Fiorentina have to work hard to avoid defeat. Luck was still on Fiorentina side as they were saved by a penalty goal before three minutes of normal time ended.

Victor Oshimen is indeed an important player for Napoli considering that last season Oshimen was a player who contributed greatly to winning the Scudetto for Napoli. However, this season it seems that Victor Oshimen has lost a little of his confidence even though he is playing with Napoli but winning feel like it is difficult to get, like the last 2 matches he played with Napoli against Frosinone and Roma. Victor Oshimen was not able to create any chances at all and Napoli had to experience defeat. I don't know what happen to Oshimen so he wasn't as sharp as last seasons.

And now Victor Oshimen has to defend his country. I hoped Napoli can still look impressive even without Victor Oshimen and in their last 3 matches Napoli can only win 1 match without Oshimen even though they have to struggle against the weak club Salernitana, and in the next match Napoli will play against Fiorentina in the semifinals of the Italian Super Cup. Let's see if Napoli can continue this wins trend against Fiorentina and whether Napoli will be able to get rid of Fiorentina in this semifinals round.

Inter Milan really doesn't want to waste a good opportunity to win the title. However, you need to remember that in Serie A Juventus can still be a strong competitor preventing Inter Milan from winning the title this season. In my opinion, not only Inter Milan is performing well this season, Juventus is also performing well this season and Inter Milan needs to be aware of this to ensure they really maintain their performance and maintain consistency in matches. That way, the points they have remain safe in the standings and their chances of winning the title are even greater.

It is a bit pessimistic that Calhanoglu can continue to show improvement in terms of scoring goals, even though his position is not a pure striker because he plays in the midfield position. Martinez may have a much bigger chance because he is a striker and will definitely have a better chance of becoming the top scorer. Monza's defense did look much better, but in this match they lost their anticipation so that when Inter Milan had a chance to score they had difficulty keeping up.

Ranking in the top four will be the target of several clubs and may be quite competitive in the race for the standings. Lazio, Bologna and Napoli managed to maintain their wins in previous matches so the race for the top four will be even more interesting.

Udinese actually had the potential to win the match. Fiorentina wanted to be in the top 4 and they had to win this match, but they could not do it. They even achieved a draw with a penalty. With this draw, they left the field in a way they did not want and made the possibility of top 4 a little more difficult.

Roma has been declining since it was getting bad results in europa league. This thing should be anticipated by roma and the club was not able in maximizing its chance to beat acmilan. Things are changing a lot for roma caused by there may be internal problems happened with this club.
Im not seeing that acmilan has improved a lot but im concerning about the decline happened to the roma. This club lost its consistency since it was unable to beat slavia praha in europa league. Roma's level will never go up if club will always try to spend minimum budget to build the club.
The owner is also responsible for the result received by roma caused by the club was signing so many cheap players who can do nothing once these players face the big clubs in serie a. Roma will be having some important matches soon. Im expecting roma to perform better than this time.
Roma needs to work even harder in strengthening the club. It was rarely getting chance to score against acmilan which was very bad.

Roma got another defeat and they are now falling to the 9th position with 5 points less than Fiorentina at the fourth position. The ranking looks bad for Roma but the temporary gap with Fiorentina is not too big, 5 points. However, if we look at it in another side, there are 6 clubs from Fiorentina to Roma are fighting for only a fourth position, this is a very competitive race.

AC Milan with this winning against Roma, continue to maintain their gap with under clubs and continue their hope that they might be given chances by Inter Milan and Juventus to join Scudetto race again. It won't come soon with very excellent form of Inter Milan and Juventus.

The gap of level between both of clubs is very far. Napoli was only lucky enough last season but im thinking that this is going to be very different this season caused by in fact that if intermilan has been performing very well till today.
Juventus was the only competitor for the scudetto and intermilan can get it easily as long as juventus will be missing an opportunity to get three points. The key is how to make the gap to be even bigger than before.
This is also the main concern owned by intermilan. In fact, intermilan is always showing consistent performance when the club played with lautaro martinez. Intermilan has not become the favorite to win the UCL and this sounds strange.
Simeone has been fully preparing his team to perform even better in the upcoming matches. Winning scudetto becomes the main target owned by intermilan this season. The club needs to keep up with the current performance.
Im sure everything will be going very well soon. Scudetto has very big chance to be owned by intermilan this season.

Don't forget that in Serie A things like this often happen I mean when we hope one of the teams will win the match easily but in the end they only draw or lose
Somehow we see it too often and we ignore the games in Serie A more often, for AC Milan it is really impressive that they were able to beat AS Roma but currently AC Milan is on fire, they have won 4 of the last 5 matches but still AC Milan had no chance of winning the title from Inter Milan.

Of course Inter Milan did not want to miss this opportunity, especially at this time they did not have strong competitors so this is a good opportunity to win the scudetto, If we compare with last season they have strong competitors like Napoli and for next season there is no guarantee that Inter Milan can play better so this season is the right time for Inter Milan.

Juventus are indeed considered one of Inter Milan's competitors this season but so far there has been no more effort from Juventus, they are still playing normally as usual without great ambitions like Inter Milan.

Don't expect too much from Napoli this season, they are no longer a strong team in Serie A this season. Napoli will not be able to record their best performance like the previous season. Their game is not as attractive as last season, many of their players have experienced a decline in performance this season so it will be difficult for them to achieve victory when facing Inter Milan, Juventus or AC Milan.

Of course there is a good reason if it is the change of coach that causes them to lose their strength. Because Spalletti was able to set a better strategy compared to mazzarri. I think it will be difficult for napoli to close this season in the top 4 this season. Osimhen is not in his best form and has struggled to score goals this season.

Bologna previously can be considers as dark horses team this because they can able to beat several strong teams just like Inter Milan and Alatanta so i thought they will gets easy win yesterday especially their opponent Cagliari was not very consistent because we all know Cagliari was very weak and they are as relegation candidate but surprisingly Bologna lose from Cagliari that playing as the favourite Bologna was starting to attack since the beginning of match they even can leading the game after Orsolini scored but unfortunately Cagliari was performing well and they have made epic comeback and scores 2 goals so this result is make Cagliari gets their 4th winning this season and for Bologna this result make they out from European zone and because their position on league standings was overtaked by Lazio

Fiorentina were expected to win its game home against Udinese and they were lucky to get a draw thanks to the late penalty. Now they are 8 points behind of AC Milan which won against Roma with 3 goals.
Bologna was the other team to lose points in this round among teams sitting in the first half of the table.
Roma defeat could be explained by the fact that AC Milan were more powerful but the defeat of Bologna against a team that was sitting in the relegation zone isn't a good sign for them!

They still do have a slight chance since the fourth place is still in reach for them. But they are too erratic. They almost never manage to win two or more games in a row and without that, thinking about the Champions League qualification makes no sense for them.

This game against Milan was a key moment as this now sets AC Milan so far apart from them. It is a huge difference if they win the game as then it is 32 to 39 points. Now it is 29 to 42 points and this would mean a miracle is necessary for Roma to close the gap between them and AC Milan.

I agree that most likely Mourinho will be gone by the end of this season. Maybe he won't let the golden opportunity go and he decides to become a coach in Saudi Arabia.

The dark days are not going to be over for Muriniho and again they lost another match. So far Roma has lost most of the important games they had against strong teams and they got bad results in these games which are disappointing and this can even get this famous coach fired from Roma.
Olivier Giroud the player of AC Milan had an epic performance in this game and scored one goal also he had one assist while there was news about Giroud leaving AC Milan for Inter Miami.

Roma lost once again and now they are basically out of the possibility of qualifying at the next Champions League.

There is no way that Mou will sit next year here again.
