Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[laurenB7742]

8/7 points gap from  #1 and #2 with 7 games left means they need Inter, Milan, Napoli to each lose 3 games! Seriously, football is crazy but not that crazy.

Yeah exactly, football is not that crazy XD.  I mean it can happen but seems highly unlikely. At this moment Milan is at the top of the table and I really believe that they will lose points and get dethroned from the first place. I really want to enter to win the match that they have in hand somehow, because then the top three will become really interesting.
I really expect Inter to win the league title this season. Even though Milan has played well enough in recent times I still don't believe that they will be consistent enough and eventually win the league title.

We have seen crazier things in football for sure but the odds for that to happen is probably something like 500x. I mean, just look at odds statistically and we have the answer.
Using opponent ML odds roughly with Inter Milan and Napoli as favorites, and I am being conservative I guess,,, we can say each team to lose 3 more times (3x3x2 = 18 let us put it to 20). Then 20x20x20 = 8000.
THEN Juventus to win all games odds is,,, even higher!

Considering all odds I really don't see how Juventus is going to win the league title.

They have to win every match, and the teams above them need to lose every match and there are three teams in front of them so it is obviously quite impossible.

Obviously, it can happen. but surely will be really surprised if it does.

Anyway, the next match for Juventus is against Cagliari and they should be the winners in this match.

Nothing impossible in soccer especially when we are dealing with Serie-A. We have seen it ourselves how great Inter Milan from the beginning till the half of the season. No one predicted that they will lose too many points after the half season and dropped the position to 3rd. The same may happen for other teams and losing 3 matches each are rarely happen but not impossible. Each team has their own pressure to win all the remaining matches, the team that can overcome the pressure and take all the chance effectively will be the champion.

Yes, I know nothing is impossible but sometimes it is just a little beyond achievable. It still looks good because Inter has one match in their hand and that point has not been counted. If they do end up winning that match it will look a lot worse.
But, if Inter actually loses that match then I think Juventus has a good chance of at least finishing in the top 3.

[terrorJR]

It is very difficult to predict who will get the title this season, because the three teams still have the same chance of getting the title, for now Napoli are playing well, while AC Milan is playing less consistently, the previous week AC Milan was held to a draw by Bologna, in week 32 AC Milan will face Torino, while Napoli will face Fiorentina, Inter will face Verona,
My prediction this season is that AC Milan will win the title, even though in the previous match AC Milan was held to a draw by Bologna, but I still believe that AC Milan will win the Scudetto.

I might focus on the top 4 teams instead of 3 because Juventus is also currently still one of the clubs that can have that potential, even though their points are currently quite far behind Milan but with the performance of Milan, Inter and Napoli now I think their chances are still good. There's remembering there are still 7 games left there and indeed it will still be very exciting now.

[KTChampions]

I think the match between Napoli and Fiorentina is quite interesting and can be considered as a big. Plus, given the generally poor average win percentage among the Serie A leaders, I would imagine that even in matches with outsiders, an unexpected result can happen. Most of all, I am suspicious of Milan - they will play away and possibly lose points.

True, it is still very difficult to predict even though Napoli have the advantage but as you said the poor performance of the big teams always surprises every week.
the current odds of Napoli 1.77 and Fiorentina 4.60 even though this is quite decent but on the other hand maybe I will still avoid betting in Serie A now because it is still unclear the performance of the big teams there which makes me quite hesitant to place a bet

I think I'll take a chance and bet on Napoli. After all, it is the second team against the eighth, the home game and in the previous round, Napoli won against the seventh team away. If you think purely logically, then Napoli is the clear favorite here. Bookmakers give such a generous odds only because the entire group of tops in Serie A is unstable. But I think 1.77 is a fair compensation for the risk.

Milan still has a tought schedule, there are 3 teams that have the potential to beat Milan, they are Lazio, Fiorentina, Atalanta, and there is one team that often makes it difficult for Milan, Sassuolo. If from these 3 schedules Milan lose 7 points, then Napoli and Inter are likely to shift Milan's position, but if Milan manages to win 2 matches and draw 1, assuming Napoli and Inter manage to maintain the difference in points as today, Sassuolo will be the team that decides the champion for Milan.

[CLS63]

I believe that the toughest matchup belongs to Napoli this week. They are hosting Fiorentina this Sunday and it is going to be a really difficult game for Napoli. Maybe Fiorentina have lost their most important player who was Dusan Vlahovic. However they are still doing very well in the league. They are in the rivalry to capture the sixth or even the fifth position in the league standings. And they haven't lost a league game for four weeks as well. Napoli got a crucial win against Atalanta away the last time. Now they are only one point behind Milan. I think that they will somehow manage to win this game and hope for capturing the lead too.

I still believe in a draw in this match but it is possible that Napoli will win even if it is slim.
The performance of both teams is quite good for now even though Fiorentina are still under Napoli and lost their mainstay striker as you say but they are not easy to beat. they also still have ambitions to be in the Europa League next season so they might be a bit more insistent in playing

[coinlocket$]

Among the top 3 teams, Milan will have the hardest games left in the final part of the season and Inter will have the easiest games.
I consider Juventus already out of the race, after the robbery .

Keep also in mind Inter has 1 less game played versus Bologna.

Considering all the above it should be a race between Inter and Napoli, only Inter can lose this Scudetto.

Wow, this is tough. I thought AC Milan had the upper hand but the upcoming fixtures really takes the AC Milan out of contention. Will be interesting to see how Milan handle these fixtures. Milan's last match against Bologna really took their comfortable position from them. I think even one defeat for Milan and win for both Inter and Napoli will pave way for both Inter and Napoli to overtake them. Things will go out of hand if they drop in at least 2-3 matches considering Inter and Napoli don't drop points.

[izsara]

With the current top 3 performances, which in my opinion are not very good, their chances are still there.
Juventus are still good enough for their current form even though they lost last week but their performance is still quite good in my opinion.
Their chances now are still quite open following the results that Milan received before and it's like you said if they can win all the games now or at least 6 wins and the clubs in the top three are still experiencing the same form their chances are very wide open

Talking about the chances of Juventus winning the Serie A trophy this season is honestly still open. Moreover, Juventus performance near the end of
the season is getting better, even before the defeat to Inter, Juventus managed to achieve a record 16 matches unbeaten in Serie A. After all, the 3 teams
that are above Juventus are still likely to lose points, then Juventus just need to focus on winning all the remaining matches in Serie A. Because in
the world of football surprises often happen, so for Juventus to win the Serie A trophy this season is not an impossible thing to happen, this opportunity is
still open, although we must admit that Juventus chances are the smallest compared to AC Milan, Napoli and Inter. That is what makes the Serie A
competition even more interesting, because it is still difficult to predict which team will win the Serie A trophy.

That's right, as long as they still get the victory, the opportunity is still there.
The performance of the 3 teams above is also quite good but they are still not consistent in maintaining the victory, especially Milan and Inter now they are also still quite difficult in their goal productivity.
There are still 7 matches left this season and the chances are very big if Juventus can continue to win and hope that the 3 teams above are still in poor.

We won't know who will be the champion until the last game comes and I think this situation is very good. It's good to see the quality of the Italian League improve.
Milan lost points in their last match and they are again only 1 point away from Napoli. Inter will play 1 more game and if they can win this match, they will reach the same points as Napoli. Any team can still be a champion

these three teams still have the same chance to win the Scudetto this season and who can be consistent that will be the champion, I think Napoli and also Inter Milan have a bigger chance than AC Milan, Ac Milan's game is really very cheap at the end of this season and I think they don't have the mentality to be champions, so many games against weaker teams but they fail to get full points.
from the games the three teams have a chance to win I think Inter Milan have a very big chance because their game is quite good especially after last week they beat Juventus of course it will increase their confidence.

I always chose Inter Milan as my champions this season because I don't too rate Napoli and AC Milan that are ahead of them, Inter Milan winning juventus last week will give them the confidence they really need to boost their challenge for the title, Napoli has not won the Italian league for up to two decades now,they have been nearly men, AC Milan have lot of inexperienced players in their team that have not tested glory excluding the likes of zlatan ibrahimovic and Oliver Giroud but Inter Milan are the defending champions and they keep same squad just change the coach and a couple players so I see them as the favourite.

After very good performance against Atlanta now I am feeling Napoli will be in good shape against Florentina and try to win this match at home because now they are a strong contender with Inter for winning this year's title after watching remaining matches of this season AC Milan can lose few points which can hurt their cause, and they can drop to third spot for giving space to Inter and Napoli.

Juventus is already settled for fourth spot because they miss their train and specially after losing home match against Inter they need to settle few issues for next season.

Florentina is good side, but their performance are unpredictable which is the big problem for them in all season and just because of this problem they are currently at eight spot with very few chances to advance in top six spots.

[lulumiya]

Napoli really have a difficult fixture ahead of them now. Fiorentina are one of the tough teams in this season. Maybe they are weaker in offense due to losing Vlahovic but they are still doing just fine. And as they haven't been losing for some weeks, they can be really durable against Napoli too. Even if Napoli win this game, I don't expect it to be a similar one to the Atalanta win. Even in that game, Atalanta played great but Napoli got a win like 3-1 unexpectedly.

Because Napoli are playing at home so I don't think it's a problem for them in a tight race situation Napoli don't want to waste the chance
Pretty sure Napoli can handle it with a difference of one goal is enough and for a while they will take over the standings.
AC Milan also played on the same day against Torino was a little unexpected Torino held Inter to a draw last month.

I understand why you doubt AC Milan can win the Serie A trophy this season, because like you said AC Milan's weakness is always difficult when
facing a weaker team. Maybe AC Milan is not building attacks creatively, so AC Milan always has difficulty facing teams that are playing defensively.
It is very natural if we look at AC Milan's midfield there are no players who have the character of an advanced playmaker, so AC Milan players often
choose to shoot long distances if they have difficulty getting into the opponent's penalty box. Unlike Napoli and Inter, who build more creative
attacks because they have advanced playmakers.

If you choose Napoli who will win the Serie A trophy, I have a different choice with you, I prefer Inter who will win the Serie A trophy. Indeed
Inter's performance has decreased compared to the beginning of the season, and also Inter are in third position. But I have faith that towards
the end of the season Inter will find their best form. Moreover, Inter still has one game pending, so if Inter can win the match, Inter will have
the same points with Napoli and only one point difference with AC Milan. So it's quite a chance for Inter to win the Serie A trophy. Moreover,
the last victory against Juventus made the confidence of Inter players greatly increased.

I think AC Milan needs to improve their movement without the ball. They have good movement with the ball. But I think they need to look at some other teams like  Barcelona who can move the ball and also make space by moving without the ball.

When a player moves without the ball he can get into certain spaces that are really great and not defendable. At that moment the player who actually has the ball works as a distraction when the actual trick is happening somewhere else.

I really expect Inter to win the league title. Napoli is not the best choice in my opinion but right now looking at the points table I think they have a good chance.

Oh, I wouldn't attach too much importance to Inter's victory over Juventus in terms of the quality of the game. All Inter could achieve in this match was a penalty goal, especially since Chalhanoglu could not score the first time and Schensny was able to parry the shot and had to punch a second time. Also, let's not forget that there was also a shot at the crossbar of the goal performed by Chiellini and a shot at the goal post performed by Zakaria. Juventus fully deserved at least a draw, but Mrs. Fortuna did not want to help the club on this day. Therefore, I would not say that Inter has more chances, although of course this victory should inspire the fans of the club against the background of the team's not the most successful results in recent matches.

[bering]

Win result is mandatory for Inter against Verona if they want to compete with Milan and Napoli for race title because if Inter draw or even lose again for next several matches then Inter have to forget to get SerieA trophy this season and actually from whole side Inter very much better than Verona especially for head to heads statistics between them that Inter unbeatable 5 matches in a row in all competitions against Verona so after seeing these records Inter should be able to win the match

I feel that this is one of the most interesting season of Serie A in a while, because if Ac Milan wins all their remaining games then they’ll win the title irrespective of whether Inter and Napoli lose or win their remaining fixtures. Lastly if Ac Milan drops points and Inter and Napoli end up with the same points then Inter will win based on the GD, hence it’s extremely difficult to say who’ll win the league title.

Although Inter is unbeatable in their last 5 matches but their overall performance is not really impressive. The 2 draws were against teams that should not be a hard opponent for them, 2 (lucky) win against bigger teams (Liverpool in CL and Juventus in Serie A). If we look at these 4 results, they did not play that good as what they did earlier in Serie-A. Today against Verona will not be easy for Inter imho and Inter may lose points in this match if they cant improve their performance.

[Oneandpure]

Still long journey because all team have 31 match and have 7 match left to know who are the winner of Serie A trophy, still have potential with third team so far from AC Milan, Napoli, Inter Milan and little doubt with Juventus remaining 8 points from AC Milan. I think will be interested for this week match because behind 1 points between Napoli and AC Milan will give chance each other team lead as first standing position. Napoli will lead as 1st standing on this week if success defeat Fiorentina because play early than AC Milan against with Torino. Excited if Napoli can lead as 1st standing position for this week and hope AC Milan failed get 3 points.

[3meek]

Inter play Verona tonight... I have no doubt they will win, but the bet that both teams will score is very juicy at 1.85... I think Verona can score a goal tonight... In the other match Juventus will play away against Cagliari... Juventus should have no problems here... They need to pick up points to catch up with Inter!
