Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[DU18]

Napoli and Milan both are dominating the league superbly right now. They both have 25 points in the standings now and they are seven points away from their closest competitor which is Inter. Having a this big point gap after only nine games played is a really huge achievement for these teams. But I'm pretty confident that not only Milan but also Napoli will have a bad period too. Then, the other teams will have an opportunity to catch them.

Yes, but I am so surprised by the performance of Juventus. They are not a mid-table team in fact they are always a top-table team for me, but their performance this season seems to deteriorate and the injuries of some important players are taking their toll on the team. But congratulations to Napoli and Milan. Both of them are on the top of the table and for some good reasons. They have played really well. But I am quite sure that I will see Juventus going up the table very soon.

Juventus is one of the big teams that is quite respected in Serie A and until now Juventus has shown us an extraordinary revival after at the beginning of the season they experienced a slump, but right now slowly Juventus began to return to a fairly positive path, especially now these players Their core players have recovered and it is very easy for Allegri to be able to find the right formation in the Juventus game this season.

Boring game between juventus and inter.
Inter scored a random goal and juventus got a random penalty in the end of the game.

This year could be a fight between Napoli an Milan only for the title.

Only 25% of games was played this season so I think it is early to say such thing especially that we know that Milan can't hold its breath so much and that Napoli could surprise you about losing vs weak teams sometimes..
The first 6 teams in the table will most likely divide European spots between them. I will not speculate about the first place before seeing 66% of the games played in Serie A. Too random results to get any conclusion

Napoli and Milan are playing much better this year and deserve to be in the top two places. Juventus is trying to recover but they are still far from the top. A point they got at the last minute against Inter was important. They prevented Inter from climbing up. They could overtake Rome and Atalanta in the coming weeks. When I look at the game they play, I like Napoli the most. If they play like this until the end of the season, they have a chance to become champions.

The winner in any case will be determined over a long distance and Juventus undoubtedly should participate in the championship race and will undoubtedly participate in this race. I am much more surprised by the current pace and the number of points scored by Napoli than by the place and the number of points scored by Juventus. I have much fewer questions about Milan's leadership, because there was something similar last season. By the way, it seems that an agreement on a new Juventus contract with Dybala has been reached and his agent will arrive in Turin in early November for official registration. In any case, something serious about the claims of Napoli and Milan to the title can only begin to be said after the first round.

What do you guys think? Will Juventus be able to get back on top of the leaderboard after still being 10 points behind?

There is a quite improvement in Juventus's performance lately, and they have high probabilities of topping the League. Although, they are presently at the 6th position on the table with 15 points. However i will like to see how they plays their next matches. Juventus next 3 League matches are probably against Sassuolo, Verona and Fiorentina. I think this teams are not that tough, and Juventus winning in these matches will surely boost their points, and also place them in the top 4 on the standings.

Juventus are playing well, they have been able to stabilize themselves from a terribly bad situation, everything is fine. But I can't agree that they will be at the top of the points table. A strong squad is needed to stay at the top of the points table. Juventus have conceded 11 goals and scored 13 in nine games this season. Napoli, meanwhile, have conceded just three goals and scored 19 this season. AC Milan and Inter Milan have scored 22 and 24 goals respectively. When I compare Juventus with such teams, Juventus team seems to me to be weak.

[ingiltere]

Napoli was my favorite way before this standings table happen. After Ronaldo gone I expect Juventus to fall down, that happened. Inter dominated last season but they couldn't show similar performance this year. Milan is going good like last season.
Napoli lost their first point but this is understandable. It was kinda expected after Roma's heavy loss in Europe, Mourinho played more defensive and Napoli couldn't find a goal against them. This was one of the hardest away games in Serie A so one point may be good in long run. As long as Napoli win their home games and beat their weaker opponents in away games there would be no problem. I expect another three matches win series from them, fixture is pretty good. They should win all games until Inter match.

I slightly agree with you. Juventus is far behind. Yet I would say they have the potential to go to the top of the table. For this, the performance of Juventus will have to be improved, just as the performance of Napoli, AC Milan and Inter Milan will have to be degraded. The season has not started for a long time. Each team will play about 21 more matches. There is still a long way journey left. If Juventus want to go to the top of the table, they will have to win every next match. Especially against Milan and Napoli.

They have the confidence,the winning spirit and the team work to thrash any team that comes their way,but this ponts they loose might put a loss of confidence in them,but hoping it won't  affect their moral,entering into the next game.

We are seeing Milan to be the only team to give them a tough time,may be Seria A is not like English premier league where you see small teams flog the big teams.
So Napoli can just continue their fine form until they meet Milan that will give them a serious test.

Juventus has indeed shown a stable performance, with the last 5 matches in Serie A unbeaten it has been a good achievement. But Serie A has
only been running for 9 weeks, which means there are still a lot of games to go through, if Juventus manages to be in the top 4 at the end of this year,
I believe Juventus can be counted as a candidate for champion this season. Moreover, Juventus can beat other big teams, it will make Juventus
more open to become champions. The most important thing for now is consistency, Juventus must try to win every game, they should have done it
with the quality of the players Juventus have. But for now, the strongest candidates for this season's title are still Napoli, AC Milan and Inter.
We'll see if the three big teams can play consistently or not until the end of the season. Otherwise Juventus has a chance to catch up.

Basically, before Napoli against Inter it seemed that Napoli's position was very safe, even though at that time Napoli had to play in the Europa League but the opponent was only Legia which I think it's not a big problem for Napoli. Unlike Inter, at least Inter got a tougher opponent before against Napoli. Yes, Inter have to play against Milan first before against Napoli, the obstacle for Inter is definitely tougher here and with that factor too I'm sure Napoli will be able to take advantage of the situation well.

[poldanmig]

What do you guys think? Will Juventus be able to get back on top of the leaderboard after still being 10 points behind?

They will, they show that they are improving their performance after very bad start in the first few matches. Slowly but sure they will back on the right track, 10 points behind is not that big because there are still 29 matches remaining to be played by all team where there are still many possibilities to happen in that 29 matches.

Even though currently Juventus are starting to return to their best performance, it is very difficult to assume that Juventus will be able to penetrate the top 4 in the near future, besides the fairly consistent performances of several teams at the top of the standings, it will certainly make it very difficult for Juventus to break into the top 4 , because in addition to juventus must remain consistent in playing, they also have to hope that some of the teams above it can achieve bad results in the remaining matches, besides now Juventus always get negative results when they have to deal with big teams like Intermilan and also AC Milan and victory against Roma I think it's just luck for Juventus.
If Juventus are able to consistently get full points when facing big teams, maybe they have a chance to be able to catch up with these points.

Napoli won't spend too much attention and player resource for Europa League because to win it, they need to fight and need luck too. In Serie A, they have a very good season so far and they don't want to lose this advantage. Especially Juventus are rebuilding their team with the first season of Max.

The biggest competitors of Napoli in Serie A are AC Milan and Inter Milan and they will try to focus to protect their chance to win Serie A with more pressure from Milans and perhaps Juventus.

Decentralize their player resource to Europa League will be harmful for Napoli. So I don't predict result of this match.

Juventus only have to beat AS Roma to join top 4 and I think they can do it. Roma don't have too many good players and in a whole season it can bring troubles to Roma and Mourinho. If Juventus can resolve their own problems, they will get the fourth position from Roma. I don't hope so because I am Romanista but it is a fact that Roma and Mourinho have to fight against.

Then, the other teams will have an opportunity to catch them.

If you mean the decline in functional readiness, then Napoli is in a better position than all the other teams fighting for the championship (I mean the real contenders). The reason is simple - other clubs play in the Champions League and cannot ignore this tournament, while Napoli plays in the Europa League and can easily do it (this is not an important tournament compared to the championship in Italy).

Actually, Napoli has a better chance at winning the league which for me seems like more important than the EUL. Also, they can somewhat qualify for the next round by playing some average players. The coach will play an important role over here. Squad rotation is very important as he would surely not want his main players fatigued before a crucial match in the league.  Also, their next EUL match is against Legia so maybe the coach can rotate some players here and there.

Napoli hasnt won a title in a lot of years and they want it so bad.Their fans are fanatics and if they win the title i can only imagine what they will do.They are currently playing really good and i see them winning the title but they need to keep winning every match.If they drop couple of points it can cost them a lot like it did in the previous years.

You have a strong point, as they started the season badly, now 2 factors will work in case of them being back on the top 4.
1. They have to play consistently good, even against the top teams, and
2. They have to hope that the top teams lose points among them making the gap less for them to get on top.
Even though there are 29 matchdays left in the league, but both of the things I mentioned happening are hard ones actually. But it's worth trying. Even if not for the title, they can still go for a top 4 placing.

Everything is very possible. But it takes consistency. Not only applicable to Juventus, but to all the clubs, if your club can win match today, lose tomorrow, draw the next, lose the other and maybe win next, you can see the level of inconsistencies. For Juventus to bounce back, they should be able to be winning like 3 consecutive matches before any draw or loss. They should be able to get fair results in all round matches. There are alot of chances for them, especially in Italy that is not that competitive.
Even if they will not contest for the title, they should be able to join next season's Champions league flight

If the consistency of the Juventus game remains like this, the difference of 10 points from Napoli and Milan has the possibility to be equalized by Juventus if in the end the most consistent is Juventus.

Exactly, the gap between Juventus and 3rd position is a matter of 1 match only so the chance for Juventus to break into top 4 is widely open if they keep their consistency.
I have no idea why poldanmig says that it is very difficult for Juventus while the point difference is not that big.
He may say it is difficult for Juventus if there are only few matches left in the season, but the fact is that there are still so many matches left.

Calm down mate, it seem Poldanmig only considers Atalanta and Roma as a strong team in Serie A so far that is difficult to beat by other teams like Juventus. The thing that is most likely to be done by Juventus is to continue to be consistent with its game so that it managed to rank 4th with the victory it won. Considering that Juventus has now returned to finding its good performance, the hope after that is to enter the top 4 of the standings to replace Roma or one of the other 2 teams.
