The 3 names you have mentioned in the attacking line were all missing in this game due to injuries and a red card also. If at least Dybala or Lukaku was able to play in this game at least they could have been able to answer Bologna with some goals. But it would have still been doubtful as for winning the game at the end. 

Let's say Bologna couldn't keep up with top 4 much and dropped from this fight on the later weeks. Still Napoli and Fiorentina could be very determined to finish in this area.

Moreover I think Inter, Juventus and Milan will finish in top 3 and the last quota for the Champions League will be earned by a solid rivalry among a couple of teams. Let's see whether Roma can be one of them and make it there too.

I expected Inter to win, in fact I predicted it and it came true. As annoying as Lazio may be, Inter are now aiming to win the scudetto. Only my beloved Juventus can bother him, if he misses a few matches we are behind us ready to take advantage of it.

unfortunately, roma lost the game and were unable to score at least 1 goal, the squad that roma presented in that game was a very weak squad, when I saw the entire squad before the game started, I was immediately sure that roma would lose, something that I can't understand why Mourinho has made terrible signings, in my opinion the good signings were Dybala and Lukaku and Tammy Abraham. but the rest of the signings were not good, roma are very weak, they are not at the level of top 4 teams, i'm talking about inter, juventus, napoli, milan, so how could roma expect to get a place in the european champions league when Are they very weak?

I think that Mourinho is failing a lot, in a team when the coach manages to have a good eye for choosing the ideal players, then the team manages to win games, we just need to see many cases that are examples of success, for example Leverkusen has a good coach who arrived and has already placed the team in the Bundesliga as a whole, even without the team having made large investments in signings, we have an example of Girona in the league, they are a small team but they are in second place in the league. So in my opinion, Roma's problem lies with the coach who doesn't know how to deal with the team and the club's management

Anyone who watched the match at that time will definitely see how Osimhen used his talent to control the ball that was flying at his feet when confronted by 3 Cagliari defenders and passed to Kvaratskhelia and produced 1 assist after Kvaratskhelia managed to score the winning score for Napoli.
I like matches like this to see how a talented player plays, scores goals and contributes with his skill.
Next, Napoli in the upcoming match will face Roma, while Roma yesterday was defeated by Bologna after Roma's mainstay player left the field due to injury and it is possible that Napoli will also be able to get 3 points from the upcoming match.

Yesterday, Lazio match against Inter, I was doubtful that it would end in a draw, but after seeing Inter playing style, I was convinced that they could win and the fact that Martinez and Thuram were still capable of scoring 2 scores was enough to secure 3 points and unfortunately Lazio could match Inter performance but It's a shame it seems like you lack focus so you can't score.

Lukaku and Dybala are core players who really influence Roma performance in every match, so the absence of these two players makes Roma have difficulties or experience decline, so that is natural thing.
And you are right that Bologna is quite strong team considering that they managed to occupy 4th place with 28 points. Moreover, Bologna this season is in good condition and they are one of the team that has progressed this season.
A 2 – 0 defeat meant that Roma had to settle for 7th place and this season was one that really couldn't provide any surprises as Roma failed in their attempts to occupy one of the top positions.

Actually, Lazio doesn't need to blame themselves because Inter is the top team and so far there is only one team that can beat Inter.
Lazio is not match for Inter and every Inter front line player is also quite sharp.
Lazio just needs to learn more from defeats against strong team like this so that in the future they can understand how to play strong ticks and can play much better defense.

Roma performed below standard with the absence of Lukaku and Dybala due to injury and sending off. Theteam faced significant obstacles that were beyond the control of their coach, Mourinho. But Bologna is an strong opponent this season sitting fouth on the table replacing Roma. It's indeed hard to hope Mourinho doing any better. Thiago Motta has really transformed Bologna into a formidable team that are able to pose a threat to any team in the league. His is doing a great job at Bologna with limited resource.

Lazio losing against Inter Milan has them self to blame for not able to stop Inter's attackers. Lazio might have put up a commendable performance but scoring is what matters for the outcome. Lazio being poor this season is something to do with the management's ability to maintain the quality of squad and the ambition to improve after finishing second in the league last season.

It wasn't easy today for Roma to play against Bologna and without their most representative attackers such as Lukaku and Dybala who are excluded from the starting lineup due to injury and sending off. I don't blame Mourinho either, but facing Bologna this year is very difficult and the statistics don't lie, 25 points and fourth place in the table, 20 goals scored (4 less than Juventus second in the table) and 12 goals conceded (third best defense of the championship) unfortunately Roma's defeat is more newsworthy than Bologna's victory, Thiago Motta is doing a great job and we must acknowledge it. As for Lazio they are not meeting your expectations, they are losing against Inter 0-2 even if they are not deserving

As Roma went from being down 2 players last game to being down 2-0 against Bologna  but I really can't blame Mourinho here as the players looked a bit tired and not really in the mind set to play football to win.

However , Lazio might avenge Roma as a city tonight against Inter and maybe win but a draw should be great for Lazio as well , especially when they need to recover a lot of lost points during the first games this season.

Well, the truth is that Napoli, which has always been in a position that was very good, is so inconsistent, because this confirms to me that things with Napoli to win last season helped a lot because Juve lost those 14 putnots. and apart from this , Things with Napoli were too lucky, and at the same time disappointing, because a team that defends the title must be difficult, tough, with no inconsistency, but things are very much the same as I think, which was Pure luck, so in the UCL they didn't do anything, in Serie A they are still in the same situation, they are losing more than they deserve, the players who were there last season apparently no longer understand each other in the team, Well, these things can happen in a team, it's like when you go into a Crisis , But then it's good to get out of it , Recover, so that there Aren't any kind of Consequences like they are Happening now.

In this order of ideas we can say that you can always do things to think about it, but I also start to see the performance of a team like Juve, even though they have had such a bad time, because they can and are moving forward, they can only be is competing in Serie A and nothing more, they were Banned from every competition, which Seems very unfair to me, so in this order of ideas one can think that UEFA and Serie A itself are always as if they wanted to Destroy this team, and that's something I don't like, because I could think that they are angry or something, I don't Know , maybe it's not like that, but I see that things can be quite hard so sometimes you can think like tha t, in This order of days things can be decisive and can give as an Example that in UEFA it can make a Difference with some teams, I hope that the situation if Juve wins Serie A , then it can enter the UCL and the entire competition.

Napoli boss Walter Mazzarri praises Osimhen after spectacular performance against Cagliari




Source: https://soccernet.ng/2023/12/napoli-boss-walter-mazzarri-praises-osimhen-after-spectacular-performance-against-cagliari.html

Bologna are such a tough team to beat this season... Right now they are on the way going to beating Roma also as they are 2-0 ahead already. Bologna are a team that beat Lazio home and stole 1 point from Inter in Giuseppe Meazza.    They are also a challenger for top 4 this season which is a big improvement by them.

It seems like the top 4 challenge is going to be even harder this season. This isn't good news for Mourinho at all. Because if he can't carry Roma into top 4 places once again or can't join the Champions League in any other way then he might be shown the door by the board.    His contract already lasts until the end of this season as you know.

Inconsistent Napoli is like ManUtd under Solkjaer and Ten Hag. They are aware of the situation, that is why they sacked Rudi Garcia in November and replaced it with Walter Mazzari and this guy is not a new guy for Napoli.
Just give him more time, Im sure Napoli will be back to their top performance next year.
Napoli should win easily against Cagliari, they playing at home and Mazzari was an ex Cagliari coach from 2021 to 2022.

Napoli - Cagliari should be that game where a draw might be possible just because Ranieri as a coach always knows how to approach important games but on the same time his players must do all they can in order to get at least 1 point today. They also come with great mentality after a shocking victory in extra time last week against Sassuolo ( 2-1 ) so this might be another important factor for them. F

For Napoli...what can we say about them ? They really don't have a great season so far but they are good in UCL where they qualified from 2nd place and that's why I think they will focus more on UCL.

in itself, each match is difficult to predict! it is necessary to evaluate and analyze the progress of the teams, the results obtained, the statistics whether they decrease or increase such as shots on goal or expected goals, a series of statistics that can be useful for choosing how to bet, but sometimes they are irrelevant. It would be a mistake to bet on Inter always winning just because they are first in the table. I personally always analyze the goals scored and conceded in the last 5 matches played, for example if team A has a total of 37 goals scored, 8 of which in the last 5 matches, but has conceded 19 in total and 5 in the last 5 matches, I focus on betting goal/goal or Under/Over. then I evaluate team B and if the statistics are similar then I go straight to those bets

In my opinion, this season is very difficult to predict, because if you only predict in terms of the name of the club and its ranking position it will be very difficult, because in a match we never know what problems might occur on the field, whether their stamina will decrease. It could be that a lower team beats a bigger team, we never know what the final score will be. For example, as you have said, Atlanta can be beaten by Torino who are below Atlanta, therefore it is not easy to make predictions this season and you really have to do in-depth research to be able to find victory in this match.

If we talk about Napoli line-up, they really need players for the front line, such as midfielders and stickers, because so far there has been no good development in their front line.
But if this can really be used with mature strategy it can still produce a very good game and of course coach plays big role in this, Garcia has failed and now Mazzarri will be in control.
I sure that if Mazzarri can use strategy that is mature and suitable for every player to understand then Napoli will not experience such serious setback and in the next transfer window Mazzarri can add several players to strengthen Napoli.
Moreover, in the round of 16 there are really strong teams and if Mazzarri does not decide to change the performance of his players then there is no hope that they will continue to compete in the UCL.
But it seems that until now there have been no rumors or reports regarding the players that Napoli will bring in to strengthen their squad in the future, and I think this is wasted opportunity if there is no activity in the upcoming transfer window.
Several team are trying to bring in various great players who they feel can make good contribution but unfortunately not Napoli.

Yes, maybe I can think more positively about Napoli's future with its new coach, but I'm a little skeptical about clubs that always replace coaches in the short term and for reasons of failing to achieve targets that have been set, but changing coaches always doesn't make a difference. positive and as fans it is normal for them or me to have negative thoughts about this, whereas a club needs a long time with a coach to reach a higher level.
Maybe I could always believe and even always think positively when Spalletti was still the coach at Napoli and after that I haven't seen Napoli's best performance again.

A common occurrence that often happens every weekend when you choose several favorite clubs to enter into your betting slip. Usually one of the popular clubs will experience a loss or give a surprise that makes the betting slip lose and this often happens to me myself when choosing several clubs. popular from several leagues and I put everything in the betting slip, there will definitely be 1 club that loses while the other club wins.
So a better way, as said by @Lillominato89, is to only choose 4 matches to include in multi bets and analyze them in depth and choose the lowest risk or if not it is better to choose a single bet.

you unlocked a memory for me! how wonderful Fantasy Football was, we had a private league with my friends that lasted from 2002 until 2019, how many memories, how much swearing but above all how much fun, then I became a dad and the time available dropped drastically. but I saw that there are platforms that allow you to play it using satoshi, I've never tried but in my opinion it's worth a try

Of course, there is no guarantee for any match on any week. I just wanted to state this: Let's say you bet on Napoli, Milan, Inter, Juventus and Roma all at the same time - You are picking all teams to bet on from the same league as well. I think the chance of your betslip to win like this is smaller than the chance you can win by betting on only a couple of them the most in a single betslip - for example betting on only Inter and Juventus instead.

Because most of the time at least one of top teams lose points in their match on a week. By betting on all of them at the same time just increases the risk of your betslip to win quite much.

it also depends on why you play, if you play to get rich as well as never getting rich, you risk slipping into pure gambling addiction.
If you play to talk about it with friends and have a laugh together then it makes sense. In the past I also played fantasy football, which was much more fun, but it requires a lot of time which I dont heve now.

when I analyze the matches I want to bet on, I never include more than 4 events in the bet slip and I try to obtain a potential win that oscillates between x2 and x3. it is obviously not a reliable strategy but it is less risky than putting 5 or 6 events. or I never bet on matches on different days, I always prefer 3 or 4 matches but that they are all played on the same day
