Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[jakdanyel]

There has been a big decrease in Lazio's performance in this season of the league. But their recent results weren't very bad. They lost only once in their last five matches. But a tough match is waiting for them now. They are going to host Empoli in two days. Empoli could be having one of their best times in the Serie A after years. They are right behind Lazio in the standings now. But their last result was really bad against Milan. They lost 4-2 home. Maybe Lazio can benefit from this and make their win streak three matches.

Empoli lost vs Milan but they won vs Napoli earlier. Meanwhile, Lazio played lately vs teams standing at the end of the table which means winning vs them isn't a surprise.
I would say Lazio is favourite indeed but I don't consider the game easy for them and Empoli can manage to grab 1 or more points depending from its performance that day.

I remember Empoli's match against Napoli also. It was a really unexpected win for me honestly and most people were thinking the same too. They are capable of shocking any big team this season. This is a sure thing. But on the other hand, this is a must-win match for Lazio too. Because only three days after this match, Lazio are going to be playing an away match against Inter. And they'd like to win before this one surely. We'll see if they'll succeed.

Some games could be postponed from the next turn in 2 days.

It's a crucial situation here in Italy game technically could not be postponed and if not played will be a loss for the team who cannot play the game.

Let's see what happens, teams like Napoli, Udinese are at risk.

I guess it is the same in every league where if you cannot postpone then you are forced to play since technically if you can name enough players including reserves you have to play. And maybe clubs would prefer to lose the game then do that. And the opponent who has a free 3 points will of course make it even more difficult to postpone. Let us see. Spain already making it a farce,,, Italy usually can do better

It's not a great situation but they have to accept it anyway, because if it can't be postponed at least they should play maybe with only the remaining players. It's a shame I think that's the only choice because after all, this concerns human safety and of course they have to make a rule that is in favor of the whole. Indeed, there are many schedules that must be passed ahead, but if the situation becomes not conducive then it will have a worse impact on the schedule that is ahead as well.

[Slow death]

although ac milan managed to bring home 3 points in their first meeting at home to rome yesterday, but ac milan also have to play carefully, because as roma is now playing very consistently, as roma will play all out to get a place in the top 4 of the temporary standings, At this meeting, it was very unfortunate that many players from both clubs returned to their hometowns, because they strengthened their respective countries, from the AS Roma Amadau Diawara and Ebrima Darboe camps, from the AC Milan camp who was called to defend the national team, Fode Ballo Taure, Frank kessie and ismael bennacer..

Theoretically Milan have a better team than Roma, and have more winning skills tomorrow.
But Mourinho team, despite having lost the last two games, has been playing better and better, and will certainly do everything not to lose this game.

So I think this game will draw. No goals or one goal for each side.

Milan is not a strong team, they were lucky to score 4 goals in the game against empoli after they were coming from a streak of games where they didn't score many goals and in some games they lost and in others they drew, while Jose Mourinho's roma is strong when he plays, they have good defense and attack, I wouldn't be surprised if the result was a victory for roma

It's ironic, FIGC shouldn't have done that. If, the club postpones the match without reason, then FIGC may apply the rule, WO in which the delaying loses 3 points. This is not the will of the club entirely, but because of the problem of infectious diseases. There should be exceptions to this rule. If the FIGC doesn't want to change it, then the club where the majority of the main players are infected with COVID-19, they have to force them to play with minimal players which might reduce the strength of the team as a whole.

Milan is not a strong team, they were lucky to score 4 goals in the game against empoli after they were coming from a streak of games where they didn't score many goals and in some games they lost and in others they drew, while Jose Mourinho's roma is strong when he plays, they have good defense and attack, I wouldn't be surprised if the result was a victory for roma

both teams don't seem to be in good form. The last few matches that have been undertaken also have a pretty bad history. Roma even lost 0-3 to Inter, lost 1-0 to Bologna.
in the match against Milan, of course, Roma can also be in trouble because they compete as a guest team. I believe the chances of victory still belong to Milan. as some bookmakers give, at least a 45% win for Milan.

the last 3 games of roma, they won 2 games and drew 1 game.

roma 2 - 0 spezia

roma 4 - 1 atalanta

roma 1 - 1 sampdoria

the game against inter they did before these 3 games

while milan had the following results in the last 3 games

Milan 1 - 1 Udinese

milan 0 - 1 napoli

milan 4 - 2 empoli

[$crypto$]

Milan are getting close to a big exam in two days. Their next fixture is going to be versus Roma in San Siro. And Roma are a really unpredictable team now. After seeing what they did to Atalanta even in an away match, I've started expecting everything from them. Milan must be very careful in this match. And as far as I can see, they have some important players missing already. Especially the absence of Zlatan and R. Leao could influence them in a bad way. I hope that at least one of them can be able to play in this. But Giroud would still fill their place nicely I hope.

However, the difference is that Milan is not Atalanta who was easily slaughtered by Roma. Now Milan is definitely being tested with the best performance of Roma which has improved drastically. I believe Milan can overcome this if they realize that what Roma has done makes all clubs who will face Roma more careful and not too low on dangerous attacks from the side and midfield that often make the opponent's defense falter.

Home play gives certain advantages, but here they will be minimal - because the match will take place after the break and Napoli will have enough time to prepare for it. Plus, considering that Napoli will be satisfied with a draw, and Juventus will have to win, plus the fans will put pressure on it and force it to run forward, then I would say that Napoli will be in a more comfortable situation than Juventus.

In this case Juventus will probably play more offensively in this match. but indeed after losing chiesa Juventus still cannot play as usual especially in setting the ball up in their front line.
That's true, even though Napoli's performance in the last few matches is still far from expectations but it is possible that in this match especially after enough holidays they can make something good.
but this one point is still vulnerable because atalanta are under him very tightly and I'm sure with verona later atalanta will win

As I wrote above, the fact that Napoli is in crisis does not mean that they cannot win a separate match, as happened with Milan. There was also an away game and everyone rated Milan as a favorite, but Napoli won. This may happen again tomorrow.
By the way, the Salernitana - Venice match has been canceled and there is a possibility that some more matches will be canceled. We are waiting and hope that this will not happen and tomorrow we will see interesting games.

[terrorJR]

The problem is that their current performance is erratic which means that Milan will be slightly underdog.
Besides that, the San Siro this season is still quite haunted for several teams in Serie A.
On the other hand, this does not mean that Milan is superior here because their performance in the last few matches is also less consistent.
but i will start a risky bet by betting on milan in this game

Milan slightly underdog? Never at home and definitely not according to the odds I can see right now though and it was the same a few days ago, they are still very much the favorites,,, even if not by much. Which then makes sense to bet on the opponent for 50% more winnings? As risky as it can be to bet on Milan this season,,, even riskier to bet on Mourinho. BTTS is the most sensible option for this match I would say.

their current form is even but sometimes roma is always unpredictable, for example when they lost to venezia but managed to win against atalanta.
Their performances are always unpredictable which makes me doubt them.
even though this is in line with current milan which is almost playing the same way but indeed i am more in milan for now

So I think this game will draw. No goals or one goal for each side.

I see the chances of both teams 50-50. Both Milan and Rome have a chance to win. I think the probability of a draw is more. Still, I'm sure we will watch an enjoyable match. Mourinho seems focused on showing a good Rome this year. However, it still has its shortcomings. Milan, on the other hand, does not want to lose. They have to pass without losing points for the championship.

Inter are going to have another easy game next time. Their opponent is Bologna. They are not one of the biggest teams of the league but they seem to be capable of stealing at least one point from big teams. But at the same time, I remember their game against Juventus too. Even though it was a home game for Bologna, Juventus still defeated them by 2-0. When it comes to Inter, I think that they should be able to win even easier than Juventus.

I also think that Inter can beat Juventus more easily. It will be an easy match. Inter have been playing very good matches lately. Bologna is not good enough. Another chance for Inter will be Milan's tough Roma match. If Milan lose points to Roma, Inter will have a very good advantage in the championship race.

No easy game in football. Players can have good and bad games. They can make fantastic moments or terrible mistakes and a whole team will get benefit or be punished by such moments.

Inter Milan are not in a position of a dominating club in Serie A. They can win many matches but not in a position which can bring fear to opponents before match kick-off. Such clubs can be Juventus seasons ago in Serie A, Barcelona with Messi Xavi Iniesta Busquet etc in their golden time, Bayern Munich in Bundesliga.

I am sorry to say Inter Milan will have to fight seriously and play carefully to win against Bologna.

[lulumiya]

If Inter manage to defeat Bologna and get their eight consecutive win, Milan will be under pressure for sure. And Milan are being favoured for their game against Roma this week. Maybe their job will be really difficult but I believe that Milan can win this game and maintain the gap with Inter at worst. I really want them to fight till the end for the Serie A title. They are powerful enough to do this.

Both teams were both in a pretty bad trend before the Christmas break, both Milan and Roma both got negative results so that their position experienced a decline in the standings, Milan which previously continued to dominate the top of the standings but actually experienced a decline in performance before Christmas, and even they were only able to won 3 wins from eight matches, and as a result Milan had to give up the top position of the standings to Inter Milan, as well as Roma performance which doesn't seem to have found the right path in Mourinho hands right now, sometimes Roma play quite well but not infrequently Roma game becomes very bad, and they even won only four times in nine matches, the condition of the two teams which is still less stable now makes a draw seem more realistic to be obtained by both teams in the match later.

Another chance for Inter will be Milan's tough Roma match. If Milan lose points to Roma, Inter will have a very good advantage in the championship race.

I don't think that for Inter, the game against Juventus will be easy. Juventus is gradually gaining shape and now they are not as easy to beat as it was at the beginning of the season. I even think that Juventus is able to take points away from Inter, it can even beat them. Definitely, for Juventus, the priority tournament will now be the Champions League, because in Serie A, Juventus let their opponents go too far into the lead.

The good thing now from Juventus is that they managed to find a good form in the last few match. But the thing to note is that they did it not with the top teams but with teams of lower quality than them like Cagliari, Bologna, Genoa and Salernitana.

So there is a possibility that Inter will be the toughest opponent for Juventus to prove that they have returned to hunting for points in the standings. Inter are at the top and it won't be easy for Juventus. It's a game that might motivate Juventus to get back into the top 4 if they win, but if they lose they don't deserve it.

I am sorry to say Inter Milan will have to fight seriously and play carefully to win against Bologna.

By the way, if you remember even earlier times, then the difference between the top clubs and the clubs in the last places in the standings was much greater. If carried over to today's time it would be like the difference between the first club in Serie A and the middle club in Serie B. The level of the teams is getting closer (this is especially noticeable on the national teams) and now no one is afraid of anyone, and the favorites are gaining points in a difficult struggle.

[Pulsar77]

I believe that Inter will have a really hard time beating Bologna in their next game. Because Bologna are not one of the teams to be belittled. Just because they lost to Juventus home by 0-2, we can't say that they will lose to Inter too for sure. I'm expecting the opposite. Inter won so many games consecutively so far. This might be the game they are stumbling I believe. But we will see what happens.

Against Bologna will actually be an opportunity for Inter to continue to advance as a leader in the standings. If Inter are able to score without a match then of course this will be their provision so that they can silence the Juventus players. In terms of classification, the match against Bologna is almost 68% in the hands of Inter in terms of wins. We'll see later that Inter performance will be fine. Control of the ball is the key to confining Bologna defenders.
