Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[RaltcoinsB]

In their last meeting, Juventus had to acknowledge Lazio's victory. Juventus lost 1-0 at Lazio's home through an early goal in the first half. The problem at the time was poor finishing.
This time, Juventus will play at home, and they certainly do not want to be embarrassed in front of their fans. The match is sure to be very competitive; Juventus could dominate the game, but the final result cannot be predicted.

One issue with Juventus is with their inconsistency and how they often not maintain a particular form for the longest of time, I actually did not have a particular expectations of them against Lazio and that is why when I saw this results I really did not get surprised because I was open to accepting any results knowing what Juventus can be likee at a time.

As I predicted, Juventus indeed dominated the match, but the result was not what Juventus expected as the home team. The game ended in a 2-2 draw, even though Juventus gave their all and created many opportunities. Juventus wants to secure their position in the standings, and of course, they would not be happy with a draw. But it is better than losing points.

They dominated, but they barely managed to scrape a point. Kalulu scored in the 96' minute and saved the team, and now they are three points behind Napoli, while they could have been just one point behind. They are playing much better than in previous years, but that is still not enough to win the title. They have matches against Galatasaray, which will not be easy, and if they perform like they did against Lazio, it will be very hard for them to go through. Of course, i would like as many serie a teams as possible to advance, but for now the only team that really looks promising is Inter

Inter currently seemed like the best Italian team in both the Italian league and the Champions League. Napoli surprised me by finishing outside the top 24. I had high hopes for them at the beginning of the season, especially with the KDB transfer, I thought their attack would be much stronger, but his injury affected Napoli very badly. All plans fell apart, and they were eliminated from the Champions League early. Now they are completely focused on the Italian league and will try to minimize point losses with the advantage of playing fewer matches. Juventus, on the other hand, will face two tough matches against Galatasaray, and Galatasaray has a chance to beat Juventus at home. They will need to beat Galatasaray in Italy because Galatasaray could get an advantageous score.

Well if nothing strange happens it seems like Inter is gonna become the champion of the serieA in easy mode. Napoli who was the title holder and best contender right now is a complete failure, i dont know how they can be this bad right now, i understand they lose a key player like KDB but come on, you cant drop points in every single game you play.

We must realize that the current team is different from the team in the past where Conte had solid players and this season, it is very different, Napoli's current state of development is not like last season because the core team was different from now, relying on KDB alone is not enough to compete at the top of Serie A now because we see other teams are quite impressive in their performance especially Inter Milan who now has the ability to dominate very high at the top of the standings, but if Napoli's target is 4th place in the league standings now for the minimum target, it is very possible.

Inter Milan did not begin this season well and smooth but with time, they have improved themselves and together with inconsistency of many competitors, they climbed up and took over a first position. Then Inter Milan in several latest weeks have never lost that first position to any competitor. Their strength, good performances and win results in latest matches make us thinking that it's easy to have the position but it's untrue.

Inter Milan, Chivu and players have to work very hard to get that position and secure it with good differences against below clubs. The season is long and with 14 more matches, Scudetto has yet awarded to Inter Milan, and other clubs still have opportunities to challenge Inter Milan and win Scudetto.

We must realize that the current team is different from the team in the past where Conte had solid players and this season, it is very different, Napoli's current state of development is not like last season because the core team was different from now, relying on KDB alone is not enough to compete at the top of Serie A now because we see other teams are quite impressive in their performance especially Inter Milan who now has the ability to dominate very high at the top of the standings, but if Napoli's target is 4th place in the league standings now for the minimum target, it is very possible.

Conte managed Napoli very well and no matter how they will finish this season in Serie A, a Scudetto in the last season is a milestone for Conte's career and for Napoli club history. He will be remembered as one of legendary coaches in Napoli history as this club don't win many Scudetto so far. Injuries of Lukaku and De Bruyne actually affected many plans of Conte and performances of Napoli in this season.

Let's have a look at what bookmakers are thinking:

Inter: 1.16

Milan: 7.50

Napoli follow these 2 teams with 15.00 odds. Inter are just seen as the absolute favourites.    If Milan win their missing match against Como the gap will be 5 points.

It would still be a decent advantage for Inter. However I still find Inter's odds too low for such a gap. They aren't Bayern Munich playing in the Bundesliga in the end. We can't announce them the champions just yet...

It seems bookies were putting such low odds for Inter caused by they rated their consistency. They're the only club who is only losing one game so far, though they have also played in the UCL as well. So it makes sense when they get such low odds considering how good player management by their manager.
They played in multiple competitions, but still able to consistently winning almost every game in serie a. So it sounds impossible Milan to surpass them, though the gap is only 5 points assuming Milan wins against Como. Hopefully, Milan fail to capitalize full points from Como, then it's still remain 8 points gap. 

[Pmalek]

Either because of the shortage of defenders or Spalleti wanted to experiment, but it is clear that he should not try to put Koopmeiners out of place, just look at today, Koopmeiners' rating is very bad when placed as a defender.

Koopmeiners has some experience in defense, playing there on the left side in his youth. Spalletti isn't experimenting. He can't put Koop in midfield because of his awful form and his incapability to impact the game in any positive way. He has already lost almost half of his market value since coming from Atalanta due to the way he has been performing. Not performing is better said. He keeps him in defense sometimes, hoping he can find some consistency to regain his form and market value so they can send him and get some of their investment back. That's not working out.

[Slow death]

Today we have 2 games. They are:

Atalanta BC - US Cremonese

In this game, Atalanta is seen as the favorite. I don't know if it would be worth betting on this game; I'm still thinking about it.

Atalanta @1.36; Draw @5.20; Cremonese @8.60

It's not a very good odd, but Atalanta hasn't lost in their last 5 games, while Cremonese hasn't won in their last 5 games. I think Atalanta will win this game.

AS Roma - Cagliari Calcio

In this game, AS Roma is seen as the favorite.

AS Roma @1.50; Draw @4.30; Cagliari @7.20

Maybe if I put a parlay on Roma and Atalanta to win, it could be advantageous, giving odds of @2.04. If Roma wants to dream of reaching the European Champions League next season, then they need to win today's game and be consistent in their next matches. They've dropped points in two of their last games, which is not good at all because they are now in 5th place and a defeat could cause them to drop further down the table.

Roma will definitely win Cagliari because this is an important match for them. Their chances of moving down on the table will be high which might affect their qualification to the Champions League next match. I will also bet on Roma to win the game but I wouldn't stake on Atalanta game because I don't fancy the match.

I don't see Roma winning the match for sure, they have a good chance of winning. However, Cagliari's recent performance should be a cause for concern for Roma. Maybe Roma will try to beat Cagliari easily by taking advantage of their home ground. Since Roma is a defensive team, I don't see an easy match for Roma. Rather, the match will be a fierce battle and a low-scoring match.

Although Atalanta has a chance of winning, their performance is questionable. However, Atalanta should get an easy win against Cremonese, who are at the bottom of the points table. I don't see much of a threat for Atalanta.

Atalanta BC - US Cremonese

Atalanta can win this match today, because they will be able to perform in a very serious and challenging way in this match. Atalanta team is in 7th place in the point table, and in today's match they can easily collect three points and they will be able to rise to a higher level. However, we definitely think it is necessary to bet in favor of Atalanta team considering the difference between the two teams in this match, because if we bet in this match, it will definitely be easy to win. Because if the opposing team is weak, the strong team will definitely be able to win.

Let's hope they manage to win, even though Cremonese is a very tough and difficult team to face.
It's clear that Atalanta's small comeback has given me a bit of hope, hope as always is the last to die... let's hope they do better in the second half of the championship..

[beerlover]

We're now halfway through the league season, and they'll face a tough Champions League playoff match. Hopefully, these points losses and poor form in the league won't affect their performance in the Champions League. The Champions League is a very different and important competition, but they should also take the Italian league seriously. They are fighting for a top four finish in the Italian league, but it will be difficult if they lose points at home.

While it is not even in doubt that Serie A is very important, if they can finish fourth place and also go to quarter finals of UCL or something that would be ideal. Being third place or being fourth do not have that much difference, both go to UCL next season and the same result, whereas we are talking about UCL being much more important, if they win this playoff game, and then one more round then they will be in quarter finals.

This time they are facing Galatasaray, certainly not an easy team to defeat, but not that difficult neither and very much possible. This is why it's clear that we are going to see them have a chance, and if they are lucky with the matchups, they may even reach quarter finals, which would be amazing for them.

Juventus, on the other hand, will face two tough matches against Galatasaray, and Galatasaray has a chance to beat Juventus at home. They will need to beat Galatasaray in Italy because Galatasaray could get an advantageous score.

Inter, during the last years, have always been the best Italian team. Let's not forget they even played two Champions League finals in the last three years! If they didn't win enough Serie A titles is just because they lost them, not because the other teams were actually better than them. And I'm saying this as a Juventus fan. Napoli and Milan won't probably be able to keep up with Inter's pace.

[Btcdeybodi]

Juventus are going to lose today too, I actually don't understand why this team is in silent disarray. In the quarter-final round of the last Coppa Italia we noticed that Juventus were inattentive and tired against Atalanta, as a result it became difficult for them to win the game that everyone had noticed. Similarly, Juventus faced Lazio in the Serie A today but at this stage it seems that they are making this game difficult because 72 minutes have passed but I can see that Juventus is still behind. At this stage, it seems that if this team loses at home today, Juventus could drop from fourth place in the points table.

Pierre Kalulu injury time goal saved the night for Juventus as they ended the match in a 2:2 draw. Juventus were the cause why they didn't win Lazio because they were careless to concede 2 goals and struggled to an equalizer. They should know that their priority this season should be about finishing the season within the Champions League positions so that it will guide them to have an edge of what they are expected to do before it can be possible. Juventus has been unable to win the Serie A title since 2020, they should try and start being competitive so that they can come back to their good days when they won many scudetto titles sequentially.

[pewboy]

Lazio had taken a 2-goal lead, but they couldn't withstand Juve's attacks. Juve took 34 shots in the match and finally scored 2 goals. They only earned 1 point though. The second goal came too late. It's difficult to turn the match around when you're 2 goals behind. Still, Juve could have gotten more out of this match. They failed to do so.
They are already far from the top this season. Kenan Y?ld?z has signed a new contract, and they are building the team around him. They will be better next season. Third place might be a more realistic goal for this year. There's no way they can catch up to Inter, and Milan seems to be pulling away as well.

34 shots is a really high number, Juventus looked truly possessed.
I'm happy that my favorite team is starting to play properly again, i couldn't be happier about that.
And I'm happy that a team like Lazio, which isn't weak, has endured this. It means we're on a good path.

Atalanta BC - US Cremonese

Atalanta can win this match today, because they will be able to perform in a very serious and challenging way in this match. Atalanta team is in 7th place in the point table, and in today's match they can easily collect three points and they will be able to rise to a higher level. However, we definitely think it is necessary to bet in favor of Atalanta team considering the difference between the two teams in this match, because if we bet in this match, it will definitely be easy to win. Because if the opposing team is weak, the strong team will definitely be able to win.

Atalanta will win their match, 2-0 in the 83rd minute, and it's already clear Cremonese won't even be able to equalize. As for Roma, I have my doubts, I think there won't be many goals, and I'd even venture a 0-0 draw, but I don't like betting on the exact score because it's too difficult to predict. Roma have a lot of attackers out today, and their attack wasn't very convincing anyway.

Atalanta still won even though Cremonese were able to score in the stoppage time making the score 2-1 in favor of Atalanta.

Atalanta were the better side in this game and I think that win was well deserved, they could have had more goals in this game but the Cremonese goalkeeper made some wonderful saves in the game.

Roma already have three shots but they all ain’t on target and it’s just the 20th minute and they’re playing really good, so they should definitely win this game against Cagliari.

[Sexylizzy2813]

They better start getting things on target if not by the time Cagliari start engaging it won't be easy at all. Roma better get the 3pt to level up with Juventus and wait for the moment when they'll move to a better position. I expect Roma to be the bigger side and snatch this win because they have a target more than the visitors who doesn't have anything they're chasing...just hope for a better score line before the end of the first half, Roma should be on top by the end of the first 45'mins.

Well, I think they’ve really start getting ‘things on target’ because they’ve already scored a goal and they’re now leading with one goal in this game, and also they’ve got two shots on target so far and I really think they’ll score more goals in this game and they’d grab the three points and gave the same points as Juvetus.

Cagliari shouldn’t also be unrated, they might pull sone wonders in this game because they won their last three matches against Juventus, Fiorentina and Verona even though in those matches they are the first to score and they usually secure the lead in the first half, so let’s wait and see…

[MK-74]

Atalanta defeated Cremonese 2–1 at home. They scored two goals in the first 25 minutes and secured the win, but after conceding late, the match ended 2–1.

Roma are currently leading Cagliari 1–0 thanks to a goal from Donyell Malen. There is very little time left in the first half and Roma are the dominant side at the moment.
I think they will win this match.

[bastisisca]

At first, I thought Napoli would come out stronger and look more convincing after being knocked out of the UCL. But their performance still feels the same as before. Conte should be able to bring new motivation and a different tactical approach so Napoli can get back to being real title contenders.

It's had its downturn, with many injuries and many players who unfortunately got hurt.
Antonio Conte is doing his best, but with a skeleton squad he certainly can't perform miracles.
I don't understand the people who are so ferocious against them.
