Why are you feeling surprised about that? Juventus could still finish at the second place last year if there was not sanction. This means if juventus can still perform stable till this time. It was also making me feel that if juventus has been trying so hard to make it happen.
I think that juventus needs only to buy the nwe striker and it will make juventus to be even stronger than intermilan. Juventus is now equal opponent for intermilan at this time. The club has been trying so hard to survive from so many sanctions since last season.Allegri was just making happen to strengthen the mentality from the players and it's now at the second place. Juventus may be able to winning scudetto this season and im feeling very optimistic to say that juventus is playing better compared to the last season.
I must admit that the sanction has been giving a lot of impact to the mentality from the players. Juventus has been trying so hard to get up again and it will be paying off soon.

I have not seen Juventus targeting a good player so far this season, how will they compete with Inter Milan until  Tuesday end who have a more concrete squad than them.
Knocking them.out of the Champions league is not good enough,  they will return fighting back for the league competition and title.

A lot of non fans are excited with Juventus who have  kept some level of consistency. They lost Paul Pogba and another name they need them replaced.

Juventus have served all the punishments that hit them last season. So this season they no longer have anything to do with punishment because everything was decided last season. Juventus can play well this season to improve their performance which was quite poor last season. The fans certainly want to see juventus win another trophy and this season they have the opportunity to get the Scudetto if they are able to maintain their good performance until the end of the season.

Juventus is a big team in Serie A. They have quite good players this season, such as Chiesa and Vlahovic, so Allegri has a squad that is quite ready to be able to compete with Inter Milan. Juventus have only suffered one defeat this season and if you look at them overall this season, of course they appear quite impressive compared to last season.

Both clubs have consistency but which among them will last? Seria A first position is handed over to Inter Milan but the main battle is yet to begin, these clubs putting trending actions to be noticed. Juventus are more focused on the scudetto, because they're not holding any top matches other than the Seria A fixtures, they will ensure they make significant winnings to stay fit for the good position on the table. Inter and Juventus are the most watched club interms of performance in the Seria A. Inter Milan attention is divided because they're yet to face elimination from the top tournaments.

I did not expect Juventus to pull out this great performance in Serie A this season, because Juventus had a very bad performance last season in Serie A, they didn't qualify for the UEFA Champions League. But this season Juventus is challenging Inter Milan for the Serie A title and when the Champions League round of 16 starts, Juventus might enter the top of the Serie A table, because Inter Milan will have a busy schedule.

But I think the whole story about the penalties is now over, they are done with it in their minds as well. You can see that they are on their way back to become a reliable force in Italian football again. They are now facing a tough challenge due to Inter Milan performing on such a high level, but it is a good test for them to see where they are at. They can have goals against and don't need to fear any further penalties as far as I know. Whatever they achieve this year won't be taken away from them. I think that's the most important for them to now know that they can make plans for the future.

I did not expect Juventus to pull out this great performance in Serie A this season, because Juventus had a very bad performance last season in Serie A, they didn't qualify for the UEFA Champions League. But this season Juventus is challenging Inter Milan for the Serie A title and when the Champions League round of 16 starts, Juventus might enter the top of the Serie A table, because Inter Milan will have a busy schedule.

Roma are a good side. Their manager Mourinho has some kind of special ability to raise up a team into a pretty much successful squad. Even with the loopholes they're faced with, he's still been able to help the team stand out in some games. Injury has definitely been a number one deprivation of a team's performance but the manager has been able to make do with the players and squad he's got available and even though not perfect as expected, they're not relenting in their efforts. Although their performance against Atalanta didn't fully get good commendation but still they tried to secure the points to themselves.

 The European competition would definitely favour them, they only need to strive to win a ticket. Good thing also that their striker is at his peak performance and he's always capable of delivering the team to victory in dire moments. I'd admit that the team and manager are very much compatible maybe it's the resonance that's natural or maybe Mourinho's great coaching ability at work but at the moment, the situation in the team is in safe hands and patiently and gently, they'd stride to the spots they want to be.

The distance measured in points between Inter Milan and AC Milan may not be looking that big, but when you see how both teams present themselves in the games, I think there is clearly a huge difference in performance and consistency to be noticed. Inter Milan is playing in their own league. I wouldn't assert that it is a totally different league, but to some degree they are playing better than any other team for the time being. I am yet to see Inter Milan struggle hard for a few subsequent games.

With Inter Milan's current performance, Inter Milan deserves to be the favorite to win the Serie A title compared to Juventus. However, the problem is that in Serie A, there are still many people who believe in the curse that any team that manages to be in first place in the first half of the season will fail to win the title at the end of the season. However, I hope that this season, Inter can erase the curse of being champions in the middle of the season and not being able to win the title. With the complete squad that Inter has, I am sure they will go fast and consistently until the end of the season.

Because I see that this season Inter rarely win easily, in the last match of the half of the season, Inter also had difficulty winning against Verona. and usually the Serie A teams that are often able to achieve victory with great difficulty are those who often get the scudeto at the end of the season. Likewise, teams that are able to gain optimal points against small teams often become Serie A champions at the end of the season.

I don’t think Milan will be able to achieve more than 3rd position this season. The points gap between AC Milan and 2nd position Juventus is 7 points and the points gap between AC Milan and their rivals Inter Milans is 9 points. The gap is too much to get ahead. I don't think they need to work hard to be honest because clearly, they cannot get better than 3rd position this season. They should focus on the Uefa Europa League. But they cannot be careless about Serie A either and give away their top 4 positions. The gap between 4th position team Fiorentina and AC Milan is 6 points. So it is clear that unless AC Milan messes up too much, they will stay in the 3rd position.

For Inter Milan, they are increasingly under pressure at the top of the standings because the draw in the previous match was able to be utilized as best as possible by Juventus to reduce the point difference. If Inter Milan is not aware of the pressure exerted by Juventus then Juventus will be ready to take over leadership of the standings in the upcoming match. In the upcoming match, the two top teams in Serie A will face lower-ranked teams who might be quite easy for them to beat. But for Inter Milan they cannot afford to lose any more points because Juventus are currently very consistent in every match they play.

It is clear that Juventus ambition is very big to get the scudetto this season. I think Allegri will make the best use of the second half of this season and I even see them starting to look at several players to strengthen their squad in this transfer window. Of course, it will be quite interesting to see these two teams compete this season because Juventus is not focusing their energy on other competitions apart from Serie A. If Inter Milan they have to focus on the Champions League and Serie A, so if Inter milan is not consistent in Serie A it could be that Juventus will take advantage of it to take over leadership of the standings.

Serie A are clearly dominated by Inter Milan this season with Juventus closely following them and AC Milan not that far from both of them. The scudetto will be between these teams for sure. For Napoli, they are out of their form and with only four points collected from 15, I doubt they will be able to pick a Champions League spot, they better aim for Europa League after their bad performance and their defeat in Coppa Italia.
By the way, Coppa Italia games started with Fiorentina 0 - 0 Bologna in the first half.
Tomorrow Lazio - Roma and Milan - Atalanta will be more interesting to follow while Juventus will have an easy match against Frosinone

Currently, there is a strong chance that Inter can win the Scudetto again after 2 season the trophy was not obtained by them because it was obtained by Milan and Napoli. Now they have more opportunities to lift the trophy back with a performance that is still very good and their striker Lautaro who is in an onfire condition, they could be at the top until the end of the season.
Its just that the problem for Inter still remains the same because they still have to continue to maintain their performance so that the situation remains in their favor. Currently Juventus who are only focused on Serie A are still sticking tight and when Inter cannot be consistent in the matches they do it could not go well for them so apart from the Champions League which is still a priority, Inter still have to be consistent in Serie A because once a mistake is made then it could be that the top position of the standings is taken over by Juventus.

But what kind of disaster should they be facing now? Are you talking about the past season or about this season? I think I don't understand your post or I can't put it into context to be honest.

As for the last game played, it is how they operate at the moment. Win with the smallest margin possible, but as I mentioned before it can turn into a dangerous game when they repeatedly do that and always hope that a one goal difference is enough. But the thing is that they don't have a very good striker. I know that some will say Vlahovic is an amazing striker, but I disagree. His stats are definitely average and he wasn't able to improbe significantly for quite some time now.

Considering the performance of all the teams in the Italian Serie A this season, I don't think there's any one who would want to doubt the fact that Inter Milan are the strongest team in the league and the favorites to the scudetto this season but I also think that it'll not be an easy ride for them because Juventus who have also been consistent this season is closely in contention for the title.

Unlike Inter Milan, Juventus are not playing in Europe this season and are more focused on the league than any other competition. They had a poor campaign last season and are trying to make up for their fans. It'll be a close competition between the two top clubs in the Italian Serie A table

You are right, the draw that Inter Milan got when they faced Genoa in the previous 18th week, gave Juventus the opportunity to reduce the difference in points, now in the competition for the Scudetto this season the two clubs are only 2 points apart. Regarding Milan, I see that they are enjoying themselves in third place in the standings, not pressing Inter and Juventus seriously, and also not getting serious threats from other clubs below their position.

Napoli is like a club that has run out of gas in the race, there is no longer any talk of linking them to defending the Scudetto this season. In fact, their current position is very dire, although it's not too bad, in my opinion, Napoli doesn't deserve to be ranked 9th on the standings. We can imagine how the performance of Walter Mazzarri team has fallen at the moment. It crossed my mind that De Laurentiis will likely be looking for a new coach again to save Napoli from falling even worse.

Regardless of who will win the Scudetto at the end of the season, Inter, Juventus and Milan are believed to be able to secure tickets to the UCL next season. Several teams including Napoli will compete for one more ticket, their chances of finishing in the top four of the standings are still quite open. Mazzarri must be able to manage Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia properly like Spalletti did, if these two players can perform at their best then Napoli has the opportunity to finish in the UCL zone.

Inter Milan are the favorites to win the Serie A title this season. Juventus team is strong but their performance is a bit weak compared to Inter Milan. And I would say the biggest weakness of the Juventus team is their attack. The performance of the attacking players is a little weak. However, overall performance is stable and Juventus are able to play well in every match. Juventus team is only 2 points behind Inter Milan. The Napoli team is now out of the title race. On the other hand, AC Milan team is also 9 points behind Inter Milan. The battle for the title is mainly between Inter Milan and Juventus.

I only regret about Juventus this season, because even though Juventus only play in the domestic league this season but ya, the reality is that Juventus are still having trouble to getting better result in Serie A. Because yes, Juventus should be able to dominate Serie A this season, but the reality is not as easy as expected. About Napoli this season I think it is clear, that Napoli are experiencing a bad trend this season. So ya, it looks like Napoli will only be in the middle of the Serie A standings and of course, it will be a bad result because Napoli this season have the status of defending champions.

These two teams are very close in points and a win for one will make the team to go ahead of the other. There is just one point between the two teams and it lead to the intensity of the match. From number 5 to number 9 on the Serie A table are not more than three points difference between each other, so the league is still wide open and any of them can still fight for the Europa League spot and possibly the top four positions if the teams currently there lose points. Most of the European leagues this season are getting more interesting and competitive unlike previous seasons where the league winner would have already been decided just after few matches after the half season. We await to also see the results of this teams at the end of the season.
