Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[OcTradism]

Serie A is going on really interestingly right now. Because we witnessed very different results on last week. Milan and Inter really shocked me this time. Because they both had comfortable matches but the final scores weren't saying the same thing. Milan had a big problem on defeating the team at the last position in the standings, Salernitana. And there was a 2-2 draw at the end. And Inter were even worse than Milan because they lost to Sassuolo in their match home by 0-2. Milan still kept their lead for now as a result however this could change today. It can change only if Napoli defeat Cagliari.

A draw which is bad for AC Milan but because of worse result from Inter Milan, AC Milan expanded the gap a little bit. Inter Milan will waste their 1 unplayed match if they keep playing badly like this. Now they have 2 points less than AC Milan already and only 1 point more than Napoli. Top 3 in Serie A can be changed after one round and three teams are good enough to compete with each other in this race.

Inter Milan looks to have more experience than AC Milan and Napoli but with the tight difference, any team among three competitors can win Scudetto. The next results in Champions League and Europa League will be important for this race too. If they fail to go next, they will all focus in Serie A and if any team have to allocate resources for more than Serie A, they will have disadvantage compares to opponents.

I still can't believe Inter were beaten by Sassuolo, even though Sassuolo last 4 games were winless. Inter again dropped points, after the previous
two games failed to win. I don't know why Inter's performance continues to decline. If Inter play inconsistently like this, I doubt Inter can win
the Serie A trophy this season. We have to see the result of the match Cagliari vs Napoli, if Napoli manages to beat Cagliari will have the same points
with AC Milan. But if Napoli fail to win, it means that all the teams in the top 5 have failed to win this week. Competition in Serie A is indeed getting
more exciting, it is still a little difficult to predict which team will win Serie A trophy.

They lost the motivation, this is so embarrassing what else to lose in a row at home, we don't know what happens in the room. I certainly don't care if they lost versus Liverpool because we know Liverpool is a big club and have good players on each line. but when lost versus Sasoulo at home? I think they have the problem which has the team resolving past if they still want to continue to Scudetto. even though this is their chance to top after Milan draw versus Salernitana, but they missed it.

A very bad result for a team like Inter Milan, losing at home to Sassuolo was surprising to me. Inter Milan conceded two early goals 8 minutes and 26minutes that was crazy, how can you not know what to do after conceding two goals in the first half? I expected them to play a massive attack at least it would have helped them to get a goal may be they would have secured a draw in the game. I hope they get better in their next game.

AC Milan got a draw, while Inter Milan had to admit defeat over guests Sassuolo. Yes, it is surprising that the team in the top 3 did not get maximum results. With this result, this provides an opportunity for Napoli to be able to shift them. Yes Napoli will face Cagliari this week which will take place tomorrow. If they win, Napoli will certainly shift Inter in the standings.

If Napoli win, they will have 56 points means that they will take over the 1st position from AC Milan (56 points). Same points but head to head stat this season is Napoli leading with 1-0 but the 2nd match of them will be played next month. In case of goal difference, Napoli is better than Milan. Napoli with +29 while Milan +24 so I think Napoli will be on the first if they win against Cagliari.

[masulum]

Very sad, AC Milan should have won this match. However, what does the final result mean in the past, just a memory  . Selernitana players have a stronger motivation than Milan players. Those who are in the bottom position, play for important points in order to change their position away from the relegation zone, although this is difficult, but holding Milan to a draw is a moment that actually they can also win against other teams.

-snip- I think Napoli will be on the first if they win against Cagliari.

Well. i wish the match will be another surprise, Cagliari also makes napoli hard to win, at least draw, so Milan can maintain their positions this week.

Cagliari are struggling to get out of the relegation zone, Napoli must play consistently and should not underestimate Cagliari players, because this is an opportunity that must be maximized to be able to top the standings, because their rivals have stumbled, AC Milan were held to a draw by Salernitana, while Inter Surprisingly defeated by Sassuolo, Napoli must maximize the opportunities available, to be able to get a chance to lift the trophy this year..

I over-praised Inter, saying that they are the most stable and therefore have the most chances for the Scudetto. Now everything has changed, all three teams still have a chance to win. All teams except Napoli from the leaders lost points, it's very strange. do Napoli meet the same fate? Cagliari are currently struggling to get out of the relegation zone, thats why team are very dangerous, especially when they play at home. Napoli should win, but I think the match will be difficult.

If you look at the results, surprisingly, the "top" team that took three points is Fiorentina, which is now in 7th place. Perhaps today Napoli will win their game and the situation will become less absurd, but given the results that we already have, we can say that this was one of the most unexpected rounds in the entire championship. Interestingly, bookmakers earned more or less from such results?

[LGD2Business]

Napoli will win today and want to sit in the leadership seat again. Cagliari is in the relegation zone. It will not be an easy match, but there is a big power difference between the two teams. Cagliari has not lost in the last three games. Still, Napoli win odds were very attractive to me. I'll make a decision when the full lineup is clear. A handicap Napoli win is another option. If the players are on their day and they score early, they can easily make two goals difference.

[herurist]

3 Points now will be very difficult for Atalanta to catch because Juventus are also currently in a pretty good trend even though in yesterday's match they also had a draw but this is certainly better than Atalanta who continue to have a series of bad results.
After they beat Udinese with a striking score they seemed to lose momentum with 5 matches after.
2 defeats and 3 draws of course is not a good thing for them.

Actually, if Atalanta wins their next match there can be e head of Juventus in terms of goal difference. Because they have led 25 matches where Juventus have played 26 matches.

So there is still a chance for Atalanta to go beyond Juventus in the points table. But I have to say that Atalanta played really horribly in the last match. They didn't make any good chances and only had one shot on target throughout the whole match. I think that they were getting really frustrated at the end of the match and also were committing a lot of fouls. They have to keep winning from the next match if they want to improve their position at the table.

This could have happened considering that the opponents they faced were Sampdoria, which in fact they could be said to be far from Atalanta in any case.
But on the other hand they will also definitely have a burden in this match especially in the last few matches they lost.
The opportunity is still there but it depends on how they use it well because in the last few games they have had a very big chance but the reality is failure.
They must immediately fix this situation because if it is allowed to drag on for a long time, it is feared that they will be worse than now

[snipie]

Even Lazio was unable to win this week.
I think I have never seen a week like this one, tomorrow is Napoli's turn can they win and take the lead?

We have some small rumor about Allegri, can he be sacked?

I didn't hear about this rumor and I would like to see some stability in the team so they can build itself correctly. Changing managers every so on will destabilise the team rather than making it better. They won't achieve anything this season?, ok big deal, next season try to compete for the title with a well built team.
Now Lazio continued the shocking round results for the top teams with a draw against Udinese. Up to the 10th spot, Fiorentina is the only team that got 3 points, we will see if Napoli gonna be the 2nd or not otherwise the odds look attractive in case Napoli lose this

[CryptoBuds]

look at the ranking of Rome a year ago
look at the ranking of Rome two years ago
the coach who was supposed to do better is not doing better
ergo it's money thrown down the toilet, in my opinion
my opinion of course

Roma's squad right now is not in great shape. the coach has done ok with this team. I am not saying that he has done a really good job and I am not also saying that he has done a terrible job.
But, I think if he is given a little more time with this team and if he can make some transfers I think this team is going to show the results that everybody wants to see from them.

Roma's opponent was Hellas Verona. Why do you think this team is weak? Hellas Verona is a good enough team. I don't think the 2-2 draw against them was a bad result. You are blaming Mourinho outright, but is Roma's squad strong enough? Roma squad is not strong, how can we expect good performance from them?

AS Roma's 2-2 draw against Hellas Verona is a deserved result considering AS Roma's not-so-good performance under Jose Mourinho this season, where they can only compete in the middle of the Serie A standings, while AS Roma itself is not a strong team challenging for the title like AC Milan and Inter Milan, the hostel was lucky not to lose to Hellas Verona in the continuation of the Serie A match even though they were two goals behind before finally being able to equalize to 2-2 this is a great result. quite appropriate for Jose Mourinho's men for a draw obtained from Hellas Verona

^ I know that this season Roma has done really average and has not shown the results that they did before. But, the squad is currently not that strong and they obviously could be higher up in the table, this should be okay for them at least for this season. Maybe if the manager is given more time he will be able to improve with this team and also make some good changes for the squad.

I am sure its going to be on the 1st place if it wins the upcoming game today. I am sure its going to add up another win to the table as 17th win but not sure how many points its going to be getting to move to 1st place in the table. When comparing the first 3 teams, Napoli is really performing so good in the recent matches and setting an example for other teams. Expected Juventus to win the last match against Torino but did not get through. Hope it comes back with a win in the next semi final match against Fiorentina but its going to be challenging as Fiorentiana is a good performer as well.   

[coderben]

We have left nearly half of the first half behind and there is still a 0-0 tie in the Cagliari - Napoli match. This is a big chance for Napoli to take the first position from Milan. As Milan and Inter both didn't get any win, Napoli have to win to be able to become the new leader. So far in the match, there has been a balanced game. Napoli will need to do better than this to defeat their opponent. Because Cagliari really seem like they also have a potential to surprise Napoli in this match.

[kro55]

Cagliari VS Napoli

Napoli are now playing against Cagliari. So far I am not satisfied with their performance. Since Cagliari is a team in the relegation zone. We expect Napoli to play well and score a lot of goals against them. But no team has scored a goal in the 40th minute yet. And Napoli has made only 3 shots, while Cagliari has made 4 shots. But I have faith in the Napoli team. They will be able to get full points from this match.

[Maidak]

Those who are in the bottom position, play for important points in order to change their position away from the relegation zone, although this is difficult, but holding Milan to a draw is a moment that actually they can also win against other teams.

AC Milan played well but they did not create enough chances in my opinion. And now they are in danger of getting dethroned from their first position.

-snip- I think Napoli will be on the first if they win against Cagliari.

Well. i wish the match will be another surprise, Cagliari also makes napoli hard to win, at least draw, so Milan can maintain their positions this week.

Both Inter and Napoli played 25 matches each and after they play their next match it will be clear who will be the first in this League. Napoli has to win and Inter has to lose or draw for Napoli's sake otherwise Napoli will not be able to go to the first position. I think in their next match both of them will go for the win.

Interestingly, Napoli did not play well this week and entered the first half together goalless. The team that played more with the ball in the first half was Cagliari. Napoli could score a few goals if they can unlock Cagliari. In the week where Milan drew and Inter lost, they should play a very good game in the second half. Otherwise, they will miss this opportunity.

[perfect999]

If you look at the results, surprisingly, the "top" team that took three points is Fiorentina, which is now in 7th place. Perhaps today Napoli will win their game and the situation will become less absurd, but given the results that we already have, we can say that this was one of the most unexpected rounds in the entire championship. Interestingly, bookmakers earned more or less from such results?

Suddenly we have few big changes in league table with few worst results from top teams like Atlanta lost 12 points in last 5 matches and inter lost 10 points in 5 matches even with some advantages inter is still very strong for this year's title but now against after today match Napoli can take their top rank back for few days because inter is having one match in hand if they won this match then surely they could be on top again currently Atlanta and Roma are surely big disappointments because now these both are going out of top four which is not good for them and Juventus with the worst start now having some good hands on fourth spot which is very good for them.

With again start of Champions League and Europa Cup few teams feeling pressure, and they have some negative impact in performance but surely now after one or two rounds all will be under control again, and we will watch some entertaining games from these top ranked teams.

[blackened515]

68 minutes, and Napoli is yet to equalize the score against Cagliari. They are playing quite poor in the game, and if Cagliari continue to play more defensively, am afraid Napoli won't be able to score, which will lead to them losing the game. While, losing the game will cost them dropping to the 3rd position on the standings.  Although, they have a tough match ahead. I never expected Napoli to struggle against Cagliari. Initially, I underestimated their host  

[Velvet78]

I really don't know what is happening to the top three teams in the standings this week. First, Milan drew with Salernitana and after that Inter lost by 2-0 home against Sassuolo. And now, Napoli are 1-0 behind against Cagliari and they are playing really bad in this half especially. If Napoli win this, they are the leader in the standings but it doesn't seem likely to happen now. Maybe they can save at least one point but we will see. I believe that many people lost a big amount of money in total this week.

That seems to be an expensive loss of points for Napoli. 1-0 behind and another 10 minutes maximum to play at Cagliari, who are almost at the bottom. In this way they miss the connection with Inter Milan, while Cagliari seems to be slowly escaping the relegation zone in this way. But 10 minutes to play, a lot can happen in 10 minutes. This is not good for their confidence from Napoli for next week match against Barcelona.
