Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Joca97]

Ibrahimovic's goal was fantastic. When will this man stop working wonders even at this age, looks like he will continue to create, he is still very strong physically. If Roma had found the first goal a little earlier, maybe they could have scored the second goal, they were too late to score. It was a clean win for Milan, I can say Ibrahamovic carried the game.

I admit that Jose Mourinho's strategy was actually good enough to make Roma dominate the match but Milan was much luckier. the match between Milan vs Rome was really very exciting and made many people more amazed by ibra, he is really an old lion.

Roma didnt defend the entire match,but Milan was attacking the entire match and overall it was an amazing match.Milan was better in most of the game and thats why they won,after the red card for Milan,Roma started to dominate the game and scored a goal and i think if they played for 5-10 minutes longer Roma would have scored another goal.

As Roma still nothing right now and closes opportunity to get scudetto because almost bigger team against with AS Roma always loss, last night AC Milan defeat AS Roma with score 1-2 and most awesome Zlatan Ibrahimovic have fourty years old success made brilliant goal. Just Napoli can get one point for AS Roma and other bigger team like Juventus and AC Milan they can't win and get three points. I think AS Roma need new way how they can get many points exactly against with bigger club.

Zlatan played another amazing game. Can't believe that guy is 40 years old. Most players turn to being a manager by that age, this dude is still playing being awesome.

Just to give an example, Xavi is only 1 years older than Ibrahimovic and he has been managing a team for over 2 seasons now I believe. He was a barcelona level player in 2015 the latest, after that he went to Qatar and played there for a while, meaning his last super competitive game (qatar is fine and all but not a la liga) was 6-7 years ago whereas Ibrahimovic is only 1 year younger and still putting Milan at the top of the list. That dude is definitely a machine and it is lovely to keep watching him.

Ibrahimovic is really amazing dude because with the age of 40 he is doing still great job for his club AC Milan, and he can bring them as champion with current form. We have very few players like this in sports those never have any age factor and done great job currently after Ibrahimovic I love Federer because he is also great sportsman with his great body language and sports ability. These are God gifted and role models for new generation right now, mostly players have some serious issues in very early age because they have no stamina and power like these players. Right now as Ibrahimovic playing I am feeling he can spend some more good years as player instead of as coach in soccer.

Seem Milan has come back on track, I still doubt they can get the points on Roma home but they did. Roma same as before, when fighting versus the big team they can't get the win (lost vs Juventus and Lazio, tie versus Napoli). They can't also move even though Milan only plays with 10 players on minutes 70 and can only make goals on injury time which does not change for something. Maybe Mourinho focusing on Europa Conference League vs FK Glimt next.

It was a beautiful night beating Roma at the olimpico and breaking the record of never losing at home. Milan was great, Zlatan played incredible he broke the record 400 goals in the league he has ever participated in. That's thanks to a hard free kick that went into the goal of As Roma. Milan's next task is against Porto in the UCL. The first match they lost, then Milan will play at the San Siro should they win.

I have checked the games of the next week out and seen that the biggest game seems to be Milan - Inter in San Siro. Considering the recent look of both of these teams, Milan are the far better side that's for sure. Because they won 10 out of 11 games in the Serie A so far. And they have the same amount of points as Napoli now. Inter only lost one time but they got 3 draws which caused them to be 7 points away from Milan and Napoli. When we look at their last head-to-head game here in the Serie A, we can see that Inter defeated them by 3-0. I feel like this is the revenge time for Milan. But the safest option seems to be both teams to score.

It would definitely be a tough game for sure. But my only problem is that Milan has a way of messing things up. That's why I won't be surprised if they end up losing against San Siro next weekend but it might not happened if the team has actually improved from the one that lost title lead last season to Inter. Should be a well contested game and my pick would be over 2.5 goals.

Millan will have a chance to prove that they are not joking, if they manage to win against the inter and get another 3 points no one will have a doubt that millan play this season for the missing trophy, it will not be easy for sure but i believe that winning this match will be a real push up for ibra team

Bologna 2 - 0 Cagliari



Bologna took advantage of the good opportunity to have 3 points

I admit that Jose Mourinho's strategy was actually good enough to make Roma dominate the match but Milan was much luckier.

the biggest disadvantage of the rome is that the rome does not have players who have great individual talent who can score a lot of goals or who can create big problems for the opponent. I hope Mourinho can sign more good players if he wants to think about winning Serie A or the Champions League.

Ibra is a special breed and everyone knows about that, but one funny thing is that he does not stop praising himself. It was an interesting match. To me Jose men were good and played decent football, but the luck was at the end of Milan.
Football is a game of luck and skill and it is also good to have a saviour in your team who can act at anytime unexpected.
Ronaldo is that man;
Messi is that man;
Ibrahimovic is that man;
Age is just a number.

AC Milan have really proved to us that this season they are strong enough to face any team in Serie A. It is hard to believe how they lost 3 time in a row in the Champions League while they have not lost in Serie A in the last 11 match. Is it because of the effect of being absent for too long in the Champions League?

they are so superior in Serie A at least for the start of the season until now but indeed they are so bad in UCL.
Maybe as you say they are out for too long so they forget about how to deal with opponents who are always here Apart from that the opponents from ac milan are also all great teams Atletico madrid were la Liga champions last season, Fc Porto are runners up from primeira league and liverpool although they didn't do anything good last season but it was based on because their players had a lot of injuries and when they recovered now liverpool have started to go crazy again

In any case, performances in the Italian championship and performances in the Champions League are different competitions with different motivation and different level of opponents. Although, of course, it is surprising that despite such a successful performance in Serie A, where almost all matches were won with the exception of one draw, it was not possible to score even one point in the Champions League. Perhaps Milan needs to concentrate more on the domestic championship, but still good results in the Champions League give a solid increase to the club's income and they should not be neglected in any case. Also, in terms of image, the leader of the Italian championship should not lose all the matches in the group stage of the Champions League.

very true what you say.
at least even if they can't advance to the next round but they must have points so that they are not underestimated by other teams.
on the other hand they must also focus on the championship because indeed with a very good result at the start of this season they at least have a great chance of destroying the hegemony of Juve for several years.
although indeed there is also a rival Naples whose performance is almost as extraordinary as Milan.

in the last 3 matches they must be able to make something and at least the 3rd position must be up for grabs in the final standings of the UCL.

We have left another great match weekend behind. I follow especially Napoli and Milan closely these days as they still have a spectacular performance. Napoli had an easy job as they played against Salernitana away. They did what expected from them and won the game. However, a 1-0 score was quite risky that Salernitana still had a chance to find the equalizer and steal a point from their competitor. When it comes to Milan's game, they had a really tough one against Roma away. Roma were not the best on the last weeks, I agree with it. But they still had a big potential in important games like this. I thought that maybe Milan would stumble here and maybe even get a loss. But they somehow managed to win again by 2-1. And they proved how much they want the championship one more time.

at the age of 40, it is very rare for a striker to maintain the stamina and performance of Ibramovic, I think he is a typical striker who works hard and has been able to perform extraordinary things with AC Milan in recent years, a goal against AS Roma proves that Ibramovic still able to be the focus of Milan on the front lines. Waiting for Ibramovic's consistency to be able to give Milan the Scudetto title this season or even appear inconsistent like last season.

It is very possible that Ibrahimovic really maintains his pattern and/or healthy lifestyle, so that in his old age Ibra is still very productive and I really admire that because not all players of old age like Ibra in his 40s still have a proportional and strong body of course. Regarding the scudetto title if we look at the current equal acquisition of 31 points for Napoli and Milan, then of course we can say these two teams are candidates for this season. I'm pretty sure right now that these two teams will continue to compete until the end, but it looks like the teams that have a tougher schedule in the near future might be a bit behind.

it would be the most beautiful gift for Ibrahimovic if he managed to give the Scudetto to AC Milan. It is not impossible that if he succeeds in the Scudetto, he will announce when he will retire. Will this scudetto be his last title as a footballer or will he continue his career in a few seasons with another club like return to Malmo. These were difficult times for Ibrahimovic to let go of his career.

As a Milan fan, I am happy to see many world football legends playing at AC Milan. I wish, after Ibrahimovic, i can see another star players join AC Milan, even he just an old players, but giving good contributions.

^ Things Ibrahimo is still doing even at this age is insane. He is one of the fittest players on the field and that is why he still has gas left in his tank even at the age of 40.  I still think that he can serve Milan for another 2 years and maybe after that he can play somewhere like MLS where he can play pressure-free. And in addition to that, Milan is in great form - they have won their last 5 matches and with Ibra's good form, they seem like a heavy contender for this year's title.

That free-kick is amazing and it is too powerful and accurate. Roma goalkeep could not do anything in that moment. At the age of Ibra, we can not say anything, because his career will depend on injury. If he is healthy, no serious injury finds him, he can prolong his career to 2 more years or longer.

I still think that he can serve Milan for another 2 years and maybe after that he can play somewhere like MLS where he can play pressure-free.

I think Ibra won't leave Europe again. If he retires, he will do it in the Europe.

Ibra contributed too much for Milan and his participation brought confidence back to the team, helped young players improving themselves and helped to improve the performance of the club.

Milan is too successfully when they signed with old players and used them. In the past, they bought Cafu from Roma and used him for many seasons.

I rememebered Paolo Maldini won his last title with Milan (Champions League) and retired after that. Will Ibra do the same? He is too ambitious and I think if he wins Scudetto, he will keep playing.

This is very unfortunate, I don't know what's wrong with them. Though they are in kind of a death group with Liverpool, Atletico, and Porto, but I expected them to win at least against Porto. Milan in their league and in CL looks like two different teams. Maybe the pressure of CL or not playing CL for quite a time has become a problem for them? But whatever it is, they need to figure it out soon in order to qualify for the next round.

Apart from being a striker, ibrahimovic also has an important role in the ac milan squad as one of the senior players who does have an influence to raise the mentality of other ac milan players and i've read that ibrahimovich is a player who can unite the team, be a role model for other players, and he will continue to encourage his colleagues before and after the match, even though he is now 40 years old, I see his game performance is still very good and of course with his experience so much will certainly be able to help Milan to compete for the Scudetto this season.

That's right, the presence of Ibra gives encouragement to young Milan players.

Regarding Milan's success in choosing old players, it is true, not only Cafu, the most successful is also Van Bommel, many say Bommel will only be a player who only sits on the bench. In fact, he was able to make a positive contribution to Milan and this was beyond expectations. Unfortunately, this strategy failed to repeat itself when signing Mandzukic.

Ibrahimovic is indeed very ambitious, and this season Milan have the opportunity to prove that last season's mistakes must not be repeated. If he does not suffer a long injury, Ibrahimovic may be able to maintain the consistency of Milan's performance to win the title this season.
