Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Ratash]

I expected Napoli to get at least one point in this match and they even defeated Juventus by 2-1. Juventus made me surprised by getting ahead first and ending the first half 1-0 ahead. But Napoli just dominated the second half and turned the game around. They got a totally deserved win. I didn't like Juventus' effort but they had missing players also. But even if they didn't have, they would still lose this game most probably I think. Napoli are the leader with 3-win streak and Juventus still have no win.

As expected juventus are too weak in this season and alegri is not able to find the proper tactic to even conserve the advantage i have never seen juventus dominated like this in these recent years plus they have a good squad so i dont i think is a mental problem.

[TheGreatPython]

I think that a quite easy match is waiting for Napoli today against Juventus. Juventus are not only in a bad form now but they have many important missing players also. And we see a Napoli that started the season really good. Juventus can't defeat them in Naples for 2 matches also and Napoli won both of them. I expect another win for Napoli here. And it may be with a 1-goal or 2-goal difference. I don't think that Juventus will be able to resist them.

Juventus faced mentality after missing Cristiano Ronaldo and now they need full points on this match because have failed last two match by draw from Udinese and loss from Empoli on Juventus Arena stadium. Now they will faced with Napoli and become most stronger for Juventus because their against success win last two match and now collected six points. Maybe Juventus looks little chance after back Moise Kane and will help Juventus to score against with Napoli, I know that very hard match for Juventus but optimist this match become the way for recovery to get three points and back to track winning.

It was always obvious that Ronaldo wasn't the reason Juventus was losing, and wasn't the reason they were winning. Whatever problem they are facing right now is not because of Ronaldo leaving, so they decided at least with him gone they could get some more money plus wouldn't have to pay him so much money neither. There are thousands of clubs that have smaller salary totals than what Juventus paid only to Ronaldo. This is why him leaving wasn't a big deal for Juventus.

However they didn't get another player to cover that difference which could be a small bit of a problem, obviously they couldn't act quick enough but at the end of the day they still have financials to recover. Yes they were not good last year, and they do not look like they will be good this year neither, but they could get financially better and build a better team in the future.

1:2 final = Disaster. Napoli 3 games and 3 wins. Juventus 3 games and no win, i do not know when there was that in the past at the beginn the season. And when i look at England and see Ronaldo scoring two goals in his first game, he did everything right. Juventus will have hard times in the next months. And there is no teamplay from Juventus...the stats from the game...bad...33% ball possession and only 8 shots on goal.

I would like to be wrong but it looks like this season is lost for Juventus in terms of the fight for the championship, maybe they should focus on the Champions League this season? The opponents are strong, but in a two-legged confrontation, each team has a chance. Well, it's obvious that the team needs some more drastic restructuring to qualify for the championship in Serie A.

[ingiltere]

Actually the teamplay was not so bad.
Juventus so far took 5 goals 4 of them (even 2 this evening) are gifted goals with errors from goalkeeper and in front of the door.

The time is running yeah but keep also in mid this evening they were without half of the team.

The goal Juventus scored is also a mistake by Napoli defender Manolas so it was a total errors game, Juventus made two errors and conceded two goals. Szczesny does not perform well for a long time. New transfer Moise Kean also started very unlucky, he made a crucial mistake in his first five minutes in the pitch with Juve shirt.
Napoli was favorite in this game anyway, score shouldn't surprise us. I don't see Juventus in the race this season, they are already way behind of their competitors and the gameplay don't show any hope.

BTW did you see Okereke's goal for Venezia? You should check him out on reddit or youtube. I know not many people follow mid class teams in Italy but that goal was special.

[AndySt]

1-1 between Napoli and Juventus, it will be a miracle if Juventus will keep this result IMHO.

1:2 final = Disaster. Napoli 3 games and 3 wins. Juventus 3 games and no win, i do not know when there was that in the past at the beginn the season.

Very bad performance from Juventus absolutely, 1 point from 3 first matches is a very bad start for team like Juventus.
I do not know what is wrong but I can say that Juventus was better with Pirlo although there were many fans got disappointed with him.
Will it getting worst next week as they have to play against AC Milan?

Let's not make far-reaching conclusions about the first three rounds of the championship that has just begun. Allegri has already proved his professional level throughout his previous career and I think that he will continue to prove it now. If you compare Allegri with Pirlo at a long distance, then given their experience, the advantage will undoubtedly be on the side of Allegri, although of course if the team does not start showing results in subsequent games, the club management may not allow Allegri to go this long distance. But still, I would not say that Juventus was hopeless in this match and both Napoli goals were scored after not the most impeccable actions of Juventus players Moise Keane and Wojciech Szczesny.

I lost my bet in all 3 matches of Seria A held yesterday. Looking at Empoli's previous match against Juventus, I thought they would win today against Venezia. But they have been defeated. Juventus is not in good form. Thought they will get back on track by defeating Napoli. But they have performed very poorly. And they have only 1 point in 3 matches. Atalanta also lost to Fiorentina. Overall, it was a horrible night for me. I lost money in all the matches.

[xzone]

Juventus started badly in the league. Like Arsenal, they are on a bad road. Napoli was much more in shape this year and I thought they would beat Juventus, that's what I thought and they won. Napoli played very well in the second half and managed to win the match.
They must do something as soon as possible. Otherwise he will be at the bottom of the league this season

Last two game before when faced with Udines and Napoli many fault made by their keeper Wojciech Szczęsny and I think Juventus need to buy new keeper keep make defensive area safety, bad start for Juventus from three match loss twice and only get one points draw from Udinese. Last night when Juventus loss from Napoli with 2-1 I saw not any contribution from midfielder area and Juventus game not any style yet, they need to wake up if want keep get chance with trophy serie a before late and Inter Milan have begin with perfect season.

[Kusman]

After Cristiano Ronaldo left Juventus, they lost second time in a row in the Serie A. But it was really obvious that they had only a little chance against Napoli in an away match. Even if it was in Juventus' stadium, Napoli would still be able to win I think. Napoli played really solid in general and deserved to win this match.

[Zilon]

Will it be said Rolando did more of the work last season for Juventus. His departure has created lots of loophole in their matches this season just like Arsenal matches. Juventus against Napoli was a draw game which kept Juventus at Mercy of Napoli. I don't think Juventus is in form this season

Flourentina against Atlanta was just a festival of penalty the match wasn't exciting at all for me it was a waste of time

I can't say anything, Juventus have to move on!, don't let be the club be a Loser. Arsenal just won, it should be a motivation for the club!. I think they still have Ronaldo in their hearts and still miss him, Alegri must change the formation when don't have a real forward, this is the same as what another club did, this means mildfider can be a forward and vice versa. I bit surprised when Morata created a goal on minutes 10, I think Juventus was changed but what happened was the other way around, they can't manage midfield after.

That's gambling is not just a winning that could be got, no matter how detailed we try to find out about the match we will choose to gamble the results can be very different, if you still have funds you can continue to bet for the next match maybe choosing a team with a winning trend even with small odds it will be a little more safe to get bet winnings.
Big match today, Milan vs Lazio, both teams will try hard to get 3 points, it looks like there will be a lot of goals in this match.

[W Jr.]

While everything was going very well with the goal of Alvaro Morata, Juventus disbanded in the second half of the match. Napoli played very well at home. They took 25 shots against Juventus goal. Juventus finished the game with 8 shots. Napoli got a well-deserved win. The fight between Allegri and Spaletti after the match was not good at all.

[kassex]

Yesterday's game shows that Juventus is in a deep crisis. And the situation is unlikely to change in the coming months. Juventus needs younger and stronger players. Such a game in the Champions League will not be successful for many years. The team also needs a leader who can lead the team. At the moment there is no such player in Juventus.

[snipie]

Yesterday's results are funny, 3 games ended with 2 goals to 1. Unexpectedly, Empoli lost to Venezia and Atalanta failed vs Fiorentina with 3 goals from 3 penalties lol.
Now I won't consider Juve defeat as a surprise since bookies are already backing Napoli but for sure seeing Juve sitting at the end (almost) with only 1 point after 3 games is very embarrassing
Milan - Lazio and Roma - Sassuolo are the best matches to follow today imo with bookies supporting the home teams.

With all the existing players in the squad, basically they should be able to play better. There is something wrong with the strategy by Allegri imho. Losing against Napoli is still considered as acceptable, but losing against Empoli is not acceptable. Allegri should do a big change in the strategy, a hard homework for him to find the best starting eleven for Juventus.

[masulum]

AC Milan will today play against Lazio, the first strong team AC Milan has faced this season in serie-A. Many people predict Milan will have difficulty in this match and potentially lose. but I am optimistic about AC Milan's performance in the last few matches. I think Milan still can get 3 points in this match.

Juventuus winless seems been exist even when cristiano was there , guess what .. by the end of the season juventus turned into beast mode and unbeatable.. classic juventus with its lots of scandal involved, a fixing match scandal and that is hard to erase bad image on them .. people still curious whether are they done or still in the business .

i wont surprised if then juventus climbed up very quick to the top and win everything in domestic, its been normal thing for them.

This won't be possible for Juventus, a top notch team as Juventus needs to start winning matches, less itbe late for them.
A long way to go down the season, I don't think they can win Serie A this season.
Jose Mourinho is the perfect one for this one, with great experience and tactics that has successfully won Trophies here.

I remember the times when most Serie A matches ended 1-0, which was really funny (but it was a big pain for football fans not cattenacho fans)  Inter unexpectedly lost points today, I think something similar can happen with Milan, but they are certainly favorites in today's match.
