Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Balmain]

I'm really enjoying the standings now as we are seeing Inter and Milan at the top again after the last season. I wonder which one of them will be able to make it to the Serie A championship this time. I hope that we will see Milan becoming the champions at the end of the current season. We saw Inter in the last season and now it is time for a change I think. But Milan should work really hard to make it real.

Both Inter and Milan have been really good in the last weeks, they won easily, I wonder which one will be the champion. I support Milan, even though Zlatan ibrahimovic is forty years old, he continues to score crazy goals in Serie A. I wish this man got the serie A cup at 40, He still works hard for this to always be good. The Napoli team was doing well, but due to the consecutive defeats in the last weeks, it fell to the 3rd place.

Inter finished the first half of the season as the leader. After chasing the lead for a long time, Inter managed to close the first half first after taking the lead. Let's take a quick look at the statistics. In the Italian league Serie A, Vlahovic is the top scorer with 16 goals, and Immobile is second with 13 goals. In assists, the first place was shared with 7 assists between two Inter players, Çalhanoğlu and Barella. The player who received the most yellow cards in the first half of the season is Bereszynski from Sampdoria with 9 yellow cards, and the red card belongs to Soriano from Bologna with 2 red cards.

The inconsistency of Napoli and Milan at the end of this season's break made Inter push to the top, whereas before when Conte and Lukaku left, many doubted Inter this season. But the facts say otherwise, the previously doubtful Inter are now a team that looks good under Simone Inzaghi, leading the top of the standings by four points from the team in second place at least Inter still have high hopes of getting the title again.

This is not like a brand new thing from Milan neither, they did the same thing last season as well. Remember how they started last season as one of the best teams and then suddenly reached to top and had a good point difference as well, this was like first 10 weeks or so I believe? Then they slowly started to lose more and have draws more and Inter took over and they became the champions.

Similar stuff again, I think it is about aging stars that they have, Ibra for example is a great player but that is not something you can rely on too much, he is amazing when he plays but he may not always play the way you want him or get injured very easily since he is 40+ years old now. I am pretty sure that eventually they will get better roster and be champions but with the current line-up there is no question that Inter has the better hand right now.

Long ago, especially in the 90s, the Italian League was known for its boring and sleep-inducing matches. Often it ended in 0-0, 1-1 or something along those score lines. We can conclude that fortunately that is a thing of the past. Would the defense have become less solid or do teams now just dare to take more risks to play for a win?

It was not boring, but the most rational and effective football - the fact is that until 1994 in the Italian championship (as in most European championships) two points were given for a victory, and one for a draw. The most effective strategy was not to lose and the Italian teams were famous for their ability to defend a draw or a minimal advantage. Everything changed in 1994 when the 3-point rule for winning was introduced.
All of Europe completely switched to this system already in 1995.

We are witnessing that Inter have really made a great choice by bringing Edin Dzeko after selling Lukaku for a great deal of money to Chelsea. Lukaku had two great and very productive years at Inter before leaving. And after his departure, Inter have signed Dzeko for free from Roma. And this must be the most profitable deal ever for Inter considering his performance in this season so far.    He got 8 goals and 4 assists in 19 Serie A matches so far. And in 6 Champions League matches, he scored 3 goals and made 1 assist.

I agree that Milan are weaker in their defense now because of Kjaer's serious injury. But I believe that they are still strong enough to keep up with Inter and fight for the Serie A title to the end. Because Milan are really good at especially in their attacking side. Their effectiveness in attacking would help them score more than they concede most of the time. This is another big chance for Milan in terms of the league title. We will see if they'll mess it up again.

Last season AC Milan failed to win the title just because it failed to maintain its performance. But I don't expect them to repeat the same fate again this season because the Serie A title is a sign that they have returned after too long a fast.

No guarantee, yes I know that. But AC Milan must try their best to get this title for the first time in 10 years. As we already know, Juventus is the king of Serie A title with 36 times and they have dominated the title in the last 10 years. Boring indeed, but AC Milan certainly has a chance to win it after last season's rivals Inter managed to do it.

It is hard to compare the past with the present. Many things changed in technology, tactics, rules...etc Situations where it was possible to waste time were reduced a lot nowadays.
Serie A was shining and was one of the best years ago before La Liga then EPL take the lead by far. Overall we have many good attackers in many clubs but the defensive line is kind of neglected which might explain why we find big scores in many games. Ask most people about a good forward and they will name more than one for every club, ask him to name one good defender and they will tell few.

[AakZaki]

Inter Milan sits at the top of the league with four points above Ac Milan.
In seven game's, they had six clean sheets, isn't this good enough for them ahead of the next round.
Pallo Maldini will be a role model, too many young players won't know how good he was.

Only Inter will face a mid-table team, namely Bologna. Milan will against Roma, while Juve will against Napoli. Entertainment at the beginning of the year with lots of interesting matches. Maybe Inter are a bit more calm because of the difference in points four from Milan. It is quite difficult to predict the final result of the match. I'm not going to bet, maybe I'll just look for this match.

Don't get your hopes up on AC Milan if you don't want to be disappointed in the end. AC Milan always failed from the middle of the season until the end of the season where they had to let go of the clutches of the title (at least the previous season).

Inter currently lead the standings in a better way where they already have 4 points more than AC Milan. Competition in Serie A might be better if AC Milan and Inter are able to compete until the end of the season with good consistency and performance. But in the last few match I have only seen AC Milan weaker than usual.

Since Napoli haven't been at their best of late, then I think it would be a reasonable reason to see Juventus take revenge. Napoli lost their last match vs Spezia so one should think twice before betting on them. I thought Juventus would win that game even though in reality it wasn't easy. Juventus is expected to take advantage of Napoli's current situation to get 3 points.

Juan jesus own goal proves that the problem Napoli are facing is in their defenders

If you look at how Napoli played against Spezia, I'm sure that against Juventus next year, Napoli will be in trouble and lose if their defenders are not improved

Napoli's performance continues to decline compared to the beginning of the season, this is a positive thing for Juventus. Actually I don't agree that
only Napoli's defense is to blame. If you look at the data this season, Napoli is a team that has conceded a few goals compared to some other
big teams. Even Napoli conceded only 14 goals until the 19th round, while Juventus had conceded 17 goals and even Inter conceded 15 goals.
Maybe Napoli's performance is bad because they have difficulty scoring goals, so Napoli's front line also needs to be improved. Juventus must be
very motivated to beat Napoli and avenge the defeat in the previous meeting at the start of the season, Juventus vs Napoli match will be very
interesting to watch. Both teams definitely want to win, even though Napoli have been very poor in form in the last 5 matches. But still Napoli
cannot be underestimated, because Napoli managed to beat AC Milan when playing away, meaning that there is a possibility that Napoli can
beat Juventus again if Juventus are not careful and play disciplined. I predict the game will end in a draw, because that's a possible result,
because Juventus also haven't been doing so well this season.

[nurilham]

Well that's what I mean when checking the history of Juventus matches looks fine last lost against Atalanta Next 4 wins 1 draw not bad results right

Yes. Juventus last 5 matches look good, no lose anymore and almost win all the matches. But no one knows that they can maintain their current performance or not, let's see how's the result of the next remaining matches, especially against the top team in Serie A.

Juventus has 2 important games this week Against Napoli and Roma here Juventus is tested if Juventus won both matches then this is a positive thing for the title.

The upcoming matches against Napoli & Roma will be crucial for Juventus. They will be tested if they have already improved their strength or not, both Napoli & Roma are strong teams. If they can win both matches convincingly, I am optimistic to say that Juventus will be back in the top 3 very soon. And they already fix their crisis in mentality of losing Cristiano Ronaldo in the early season. But I am not sure if they really can compete for the title although beat Napoli & Roma.

The meeting should be interesting, because there is a lot at stake and if Juventus wins, they will be only two points behind Napoli. Accordingly, the victory of Napoli will allow you to break away from Juventus by 8 points. Although I will not be surprised at the draw result of the match, which will leave the current state of things, because there may be a situation that players will be afraid of excessive risk, knowing what the unpleasant consequences of this will be. Also, a lot depends on who scores the first goal, because then the match can slide into the scenario of Milan versus Napoli, when Napoli scored a quick goal and then played the whole match. Juventus also knows how to do well.

In the beginning, we don't believe Inzaghi can continue the performance like the previous coach, but the reality is this guy is making it possible. Inter so far create the record like most goals half session and win 6 clean sheets in the row. I believe AC Milan will be in trouble to defeat them when don't make a change in midfield, they have to find the player to fill up that position on winter transfer.

Juventus next 2 matches will indeed be very tough for them. But, also Juventus is a strong team and they have what it takes to win this matches. Although, they have to be well prepared, as Napoli lost in their last match, and won't want to lose their next game. While Roma is a difficult team to play. However, Juventus are 4 behind Atalanta and if they win in their next 2 matches. Am quite sure, they will probably be in the top 4. Inter are keeping 14 points gap from Juventus, which means that Juventus wont be able to compete for the Serie A trophy this season.

The addition of several new players who can contribute a lot to the team is needed, so indeed they need to get some players in this transfer market.

In addition to the midfield, I think AC Milan also needs to get some defenders where at this time they are losing concentration in defense so they are not able to defend well. If they really want to win the title then buying some suitable players is mandatory for AC Milan. Let's see who they sign in the transfer market, I don't think they will go after a top player but it will be a needed player.

Both teams has seen lots of improvement after a long while. It would be even more competitive now as the top four teams would like to go for the league title but chances are either Milan or inter would play in the final.game of the season  but it would take extra effort to lift the league title inter is at the top of the league currently but remember the league is more competitive compared to other times

[ILuckyGuyI]

Milan are one of the teams that are close to the Serie A title this season again. And we have the same candidates for the title again: Inter and Milan. Last season, Milan started making simple mistakes after some point and this caused the point difference with Inter to rise a great deal. But this time, I'm hoping not to see the same scenario. I like Inter and Milan teams both actually. But it would be better to see changes as much as possible. Milan should be able to make use of Inter's probable mistakes in the future and capture the lead again.

[leea-1334]

I totally agree here and I hope they realized this mistake. Football is a team game and this is also why I am okay if my team Spurs finally lets go of Harry Kane. Loyalty and teamwork makes your team attractive to watch too!

Big mistake with getting Cristiano Ronaldo and make Juventus playing as individual when attacking should focus to give assist and chance for Cristiano Ronaldo to make goal, but now without Ronaldo have show many potential player and Dybala become new top scorer for Juventus except have Morata and Moise Kean, I think the same like Real Madrid after leaving by Cristiano Ronaldo show Benzema as top scorer for club and he success hot only created many goal but also can give assist for his team.

Well yes,,, but anyway that was not my original point of discussion and we all already probably have discussed this to 1 million deaths.

Dybala and Moise Kean like you say are the way forward, just as many other clubs see in their youth.

One thing for sure though,,, with the old stars now fading there is much more wider roads for the new stars to take their place,,, this is in every league we can witness now

Dybala is no longer young but Moise Kean is. However, it looks like Moise Kean can not grow up more considerably. It seems he already reaches to his limit. Dybala reaches his limit too and a worse thing recent years is he is getting more injuries. He becomes more vulnerable to injury in last few years and it restricts his contribution for Juventus.

Moise Kean belongs to a new generation with Mbappe, Haaland, Saka and Vinicius. Among them, Mbappe and Haaland are the best as we see so far.

Dybala is still quite ideal with his current age of 28 years, but that's how it is because of injuries that have made Dybala's contribution to decline, maybe it was due to a prolonged injury that made him vulnerable later.
Dybala can still contribute better in my opinion he still deserves his new debut with Juventus and he has to work hard with Moise Kean to give Juventus more goal chances.
And this generation will go on for quite a long time.
