Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Jody.Drummer]

Rather than Roma actually Napoli seem to have a bigger chance for the title. I'm saying this considering their last season efforts of course. However now Roma are improving their squad more than before. Maybe they can make a difference and be more competitive than Napoli for top 4. Napoli still have some positions to improve in my opinion. After Milan and Inter it would be nice to see one of Roma and Napoli being the champions to surprise us. But I think they have a long way to go now.

Neither Roma nor Napoli have a serious chance of winning the championship, although I would be happy to see any of these teams win instead of the other three. They can show a good stretch of the season (as Napoli did) or win a separate cup (like Roma), but by the end of the season in the championship with less resources (depth of the squad and the possibility of player rotation) than the competitors, they will fall behind and lose the race.

In the end it will be the same although indeed they will provide something interesting at the beginning of the season but still for the end of the season they will slowly move away from the title candidates just like last season because it is very difficult for Roma and Napoli to be able to compete tightly even with the condition of the players is new but still they will lose in the end considering that Inter and Juventus are still one of the candidates who are quite difficult to be dropped.

For the new season I think Napoli's chances will be lower even though for the top four places, some key Napoli players have left and it will make the rotation of players not going well because it requires adaptation with new players. So for one team it would be Roma with Dybala wanted, but only for a place in the top four and not for the title. As the other three teams are clear especially about Juventus, this team could be a serious candidate for the new season and I have no doubts about it at all.

I don't think of a domination by Milan or any other team remaining in fact. Milan didn't dominate the league in the previous season as they were still in fight with Inter for the league title on the final weeks of the season. I will be expecting another competitive season now and these two would stay in the title fight again I hope. I'm wondering how much Juventus and Napoli will develop themselves. Juventus make me feel like they can be more determined this time but I'm not sure about Napoli for now.

Last season there was no dominance from AC Milan, they played with equal wins, draws and losses. Not so controlling as achieved by Juventus a few seasons ago. 2021/2022 season is the best chance for Juventus to win. I can say this from the new recruits achieved by Juventus. Lastly, they got Bremer, one of the best defender in Serie A. Milan may no longer be able to defend its championship title, Inter still strong enough. Napoli, I'm not sure. Maybe we can see Juventus, Inter, Milan and Roma as top 4.

Yeah, I wouldn't like to overlook Roma of course. I must have forgotten to mention about them also. Roma are improving themselves by new transfers already. Mourinho's last season performance was really promising for the future seasons. They even won the Europa Conference League in the end and their journey in the Serie A was decent also. With these new transfers I will expect them to be more competitive than the previous season. I don't know what they'd do in the Europa League but they need to be able to fight for top 4.

Their problem is still the same as in previous seasons in that the consistency is still not well maintained so it is indeed difficult for them to make a good breakthrough in Serie A.
Losing Koulibally is also something that might be one of the things that has the potential to give them problems next season, making their chances of getting the title even slimmer.

AS Roma most loyal after arriving Jose Mourinho as new manager last season because give much budget and money get new player with expensive transfer values, last season we still remember how Jose Mourinho spent much money to get Tammy Abraham, not different for this season after success with Paulo Dybala and right now AS Roma moving target with Georginio Wijnaldum from PSG. Success get UEFA Conference League last season make AS Roma management trust fully with Jose Mourinho and give much money how keep active on window transfer. I think AS Roma have bigger expectation for next season could be finish on top fourth and get champion league ticket beside have chance to be winner on Europe League.

As we can see, last season Napoli were actually a strong candidate with AC Milan and Inter Milan. But they had to fall so many times that they had to be knocked out of the competition and had to accept that they were no longer candidates for the trophy. The problem that we still often see in Serie A is that each club still cannot consistently maintain its game.

It's a shame Napoli have been left behind by their good players and the management was unable to convince all four to stay at the club

when i heard ospina was moving to an arab club i was sure that napoli will find it difficult to compete with juve, milan and inter this season

Yes you are right, Napoli decision to let go of some of the star players in this summer window received strong criticism from fans. Fans think that Napoli board of directors selling star players is the wrong decision because it can affect the quality of the team.

ought Napoli management should be able to keep their star players because next season they will compete in the champions league and domestic league of course they must be really ready to strengthen the squad for next season. but various rumors circulating there are several options that require the management of Naples to release a star player, one of which is the problem of a large salary. Is Napoli currently in a financial crisis because so far there has been no news linking them to a financial crisis situation.

Of the several names that have officially left Napoli, I see only Dries Mertens and Kalidou Koulibaly who are Luciano Spalletti's main choices, to overcome Koulibaly's departure, Spalletti can try Juan Jesus. And the arrival of Mathias Olivera will add to the list of defenders that Luciano Spalletti could choose for next season, defensive issues I'm sure can be overcome but I'm a little doubtful front line, they haven't looked to bring in a new striker, Kvaratskhelia still not convincing enough.

I still don't think Roma can be there for the season.
Indeed in this case especially this season they started off well by adding some pretty good players for Serie A, but this is not a reference for them in my opinion.
The top 4 will still be up for grabs by Napoli, Roma, Milan and Inter. Now Napoli are underdogs to some but sometimes they also have something to be reckoned with.

[coinlocket$]

Despite the win and despite having Pogba and Di Maria, I think that Juventus still has a lot of work to do. From the game, they still need 2 full backs, a central, at least a midfielder, a winger and a center forward to be competitive. However, it seems to me that for now that window is close and that they will have to wait for another year. By the way,  between Juventus and Inter, which has the stronger squad and is more likely to win the championship?

Well not so much

They will be ok with the minimum

1 striker and 1 midfielder. (rumors for Zaniolo, Parades, Morata are ongoing)



The back wings will be changed the next year when the contracts of Alex Sandro and Cuadrado will finally expire.

[sana54210]

At the age of 34, still too many clubs are interested to sign this most decorated full back from Real Madrid who spend their nearly 16 years and now already end his career with most chances he is going to Italy even Marseille from France, Juventus from Italy and Fenerbahçe from Turkey all are interested to sign him for rest of his career but where he is going to landing it's a big question right now as Lazio is most favorite in market for having him but nothing is sure.

Certainly with the age factor is also having his impact in last season mostly he was absent with few issues it's risky signing but still few clubs are going to take this, hopefully he will be stayed here in Italy and enjoy next few seasons with Lazio.

He could be good as a player at his age, maybe not enough for Madrid and maybe he decided that instead of being a player who would be a veteran leadership in a team and not a great player there, he could move to a club where he would be seen as a great player in another club.

Let's face it, him as a left back to many clubs would be something decent, it is going to be something serious and he would play better than any other option that club has. Even at 34 years old, he is still a great player, not just pace or defense but technique that he has is amazing as well and the vision he has is still amazing which is why I think it is going to be a good addition to Serie A as well.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

There are rumors that Lazio is interested in Marcelo. His contract with Real Madrid expired last season. There are rumors that the 34-year old star player wants an annual salary of 2.5 million euros and a 3 year contract. He didn't play for most of his last season at Real Madrid due to injury. Nobody says no to a healthy Marcelo. But Marcelo is a risky transfer right now. It would be a good but risky transfer for Lazio.

A very nice player but I can not bring him into my club.
Reduced in almost all round, speed and vision.
He should go end his career at the Brazilian league.
A very outstanding player with how strong that league is he won't end there.

Left footed players are always very few in number. That's why they are valuable. Marcelo is a technical and experienced player. He's not just a defender. He's also a good offensive player. I think he still has a chance to play in Europe. We should watch him in the major leagues for at least a year or two more. He can transfer his experience to young football players.

[Alanaz]

This is a good thing for them because indeed they should be able to make something interesting for their current premiere tour match.
It will be interesting to see what Allegri will do now whether they will use the standard 4-3-3 formation with Di maria on the wing or do something interesting at 3-5-2 with the number of midfielders he has now.

I noticed that the match a few hours ago Allegri made  a little change in the middle position by placing Di Maria between Graca and Kean, I felt the 4-3-1-2 formation used in today's match was not the main formation prepared by the coach, this looked like a trial for new power of Juventus, overall this is almost the same as the previous 4-3-3 formation. Initially I hoped that Federico Chiesa would be in the previous match, but until the match ended I didn't see it there.

A less predictable formation by placing Di Maria in Second Striker and featuring 2 Strikers in front.
But the result is quite good I think with 2 goals scored by Da Graca and Mattia Compagnon this clearly gives something good for their confidence.
I hope the same because I want to see him duet with Dusan there, but it seems we will have to wait longer for this.

It is quite hard to be consistent in serie A. All the teams in this league play very well. I am talking about the top teams. But the problem with teams is not consistent enough in this league. So at times, it feels like a team that is going to win the title cannot perform consistently end draw if you find which gives the other teams a chance to go forward. I think Inter Milan is also one of them. I honestly thought winter is going to win that title last season but they also could not perform constantly.

Napoli are not making any good moves in the transfer market, this weird considering the fact that they still can't win any titles, and by the looks of it, I agree with you, it's going to be a tough season for them.

[Velvet78]

There is an interest for Anthony Martial by Juventus currently. However Manchester United don't intend to sell him now according to rumours. I don't have any idea about why they are still eager to keep him in the team now. He wasn't even in the team last season as he was loaned to Sevilla. He couldn't play so much there as well and couldn't do anything as a result. It seems to me like obvious that he won't be beneficial for Manchester United. I think that they should listen to Juventus' offer first.

Napoli sold player, they last season in the last games they dropped in performance, for this season we have:

1 - Milan it is strong

2 - Inter it is strong

3 - Juventus it is strong

4 - Roma it is strong

I see napoli fighting to be in the 4th or 6th position of Serie A

Napoli are not making any good moves in the transfer market, this weird considering the fact that they still can't win any titles, and by the looks of it, I agree with you, it's going to be a tough season for them.

I also wondered why they are not hiring great players, it seems that they think they can win something with these players that they have, something that I sincerely doubt they will manage to get between the 4 places and in the European competitions they will not get far

Martial is playing an active role during their pre-season tour now and it looks like this could signal another opportunity for Martial next season.
At least from the 4 matches he played on the pre-season Tour there were 3 goals that he managed to score and obviously this is something good for Manchester United so it should be when the striker and Ronaldo have problems up front then Martial can be an option.

Well i think a 34 years old marcelo could be really promising for serie a teams , he would fit really well .. as serie a well known as a place for the old players to keep shining for at least 2 years or more , he had no club currently .. and if lazio mean it to land him ... then the asking salary of 2.5 million euros must be filled soon before there is a better offer coming to his table.

Fenerbahce looking after him as well as Olympique Marseille offers him a champions league competition. They need to be placed as a first choice so he can get his last chance into the world cup squad.

At the age of 34, still too many clubs are interested to sign this most decorated full back from Real Madrid who spend their nearly 16 years and now already end his career with most chances he is going to Italy even Marseille from France, Juventus from Italy and Fenerbahçe from Turkey all are interested to sign him for rest of his career but where he is going to landing it's a big question right now as Lazio is most favorite in market for having him but nothing is sure.

I'm going to choose lazio if i was marcelo though.

He will be respected a lot there and to compete & writing more records , achievements in different league like serie a might would make him a bit more motivated to play more than 2 years in his last career as a professional footballer , lazio could fill his hunger for sure.
