Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Jody.Drummer]

I think the chance is quite to very small that Milan will become champions again. The luck they had last year is that no one considered Milan as a serious title contender and Juventus in particular made a big mess of it in the beginning. Juventus will now put things in order again, right? The 10 years before that they became champions effortlessly, an amazing achievement if you think about it. Inter also have a strong team. I expect a duel between Inter and Juventus, but if both don't start well and AC Milan do, then AC Milan also has a chance to become champions. I think the chance of AC Milan winning the championship is 5%.

I agree with you, no one thought that AC Milan won last season, and that is a reasonable reason that the big teams (Inter, Juventus and AS Roma) in Serie A don't think AC Milan is their competitor. In this season, I believe there will be no chance for AC Milan even to finish in 2nd place. IMO, the biggest opportunity to win Serie A belongs to Juventus.

AC Milan came out as winners of the Scudetto last season, but they did not fully display a consistent performance. They were lucky because at the same time their closest competitor (Inter Milan) also experienced the same thing, even more often than AC Milan did. This is an event that will not be repeated this season (slip together).

Seeing the tight competition in the standings last season and the big changes made in the transfer market this season it is difficult to predict the winner of the Series A next season.

Seeing Inter, Simone Inzaghi made a change in attacking position by bring back their striker from the previous season Romelu Lukaku, also Inzaghi added Kristjan Asllani as Inter's new midfielder for next season. This makes it possible to see Inter will play with a more attacking priority next season.

As for Juventus, we can see Allegri's ambition to win Serie A again after failing this season. Allegri's changes to several positions make it even more convincing to see their ambitions for next season. And Napoli, although not very involved in the transfer market but we know their game is improving season by season and that cannot be underestimated.

A new winner will probably be predicted when the matchs is at least halfway through the season.

all teams feel it. playing consistently for a full season is a bit difficult, especially when you are in a league that does have strong teams like Serie A. maybe it will be different when we look at the French and German leagues.
not to mention the competition that was followed in the European league. Of course, it makes coaches have to think about their squad to stay in a good performance.
AC Milan and Inter will probably remain strong contenders for the Scudetto this season. not to mention there will be pressure from Roma and Juventus.

In this case it is true that Sassuolo are indeed below them but Juventus now still need adjustments there such as their midfield and back line which will definitely be lacking chemistry considering De Ligt is there leaving.
I think even though Juventus are favored but that doesn't mean they can win easily in this match although indeed I don't doubt that Juventus will win even with a narrow score.

It is true that it will not be easy for Juventus to beat Sassuolo, even though the quality of Juventus players is better than Sassuolo. But not
necessarily Juventus can beat Sassuolo, because Sassuolo is not a weak team, even the previous season Sassuolo had beaten Juventus.
So Juventus really have to be careful when facing Sassuolo, moreover Juventus can't play some of its main players. It all depends on how
Massimiliano Allegri prepares an effective strategy with the available players. Juventus should be able to beat Sassuolo if Allegri's strategy
goes well, because when the friendly match against Barcelona in my opinion Juventus performance was quite good. So the chance for Juventus
to beat Sassuolo is huge.

It was only one time they lost last season but indeed last season, although Sasuolo's performance was not good, they were able to make some tackles for the big teams there, so it's possible this season will be like that too.
But indeed for the opening match I expected something more interesting here.

I personally will not doubt Juventus for the first match of the new season, because even though in the previous season Sassuolo could beat Juventus but in fact Juventus' unbeaten record against Sassuolo was even better. With a head to head result like that and also considering the quality of the current Juventus squad, then I personally will not doubt Juventus to win at Allianz Stadium. Although indeed, we are not justified in underestimating the opponent because it would be a big mistake, I am only optimistic that Juventus' dominance will be re-formed for the 2022/2023 season after the previous two seasons its dominance was broken.

Juventus team is strong compared to Sassuolo. Juventus may have lost Dybala. But as Dybala's replacement, they took Di Maria in the team. Moreover, Vlahovic, Moise Kean and Chiesa are all doing well with Juventus. So beating a team like Sassuolo might not be difficult for Juventus. But if Juventus drop points in this match, I doubt they are favorites to win the title this season.

[Alanaz]

At the current situation, Juventus will have a lot of missing players in the 1st game with Sassuolo.

There are still some reliable midfielders there although they will have a little difficulty in forming a formation like Allegri usually does by stacking 4 to 5 midfielders.
At the moment there are still Zakaria, Locatelli and and Cuardado who can be promoted to midfield and maybe they can get Di Maria in midfield too with 4 midfielders and Dusan in as a lone striker.
It will be interesting to see how Allegri will move at the start of this season.

Juventus really need a new striker and Juventus reportedly wants Memphis Depay, so far from the news circulating Chiesa is still recovering from his injury. the match against sassoulo will take place in the next few days, juve should be able to get depay.

Yes, I think Juventus should move. quick to secure depas because depay is also in demand by Chelsea. Juventus must get a pure striker to compete with other big teams. Roma have also been very aggressive in overhauling their squad this season, and not only Roma, many other big teams are like that too.

[Velvet78]

Sassuolo can be unpredictable from time to time but honestly I don't have any expectation from Juventus to lose points on the first week. The game is in Turin as well which is another advantage for them. Allegri must have bigger goals in this season therefore they should start showing this by winning this game. Pogba's absence is still a weakness for them in their midfield maybe but I still believe in them to do this. Juventus should fight for the title from now on.

I think, the situation will really affect Juventus because some of their players that are facing injury in the team are among the talented players that make the team strong in any match but in this first game I don't think Juventus will win the match. I believe Juventus managements will do something fast that will make all those players to recover quick so that they will be part of other matches to showcase how prepared Juventus players has prepare to win this season title without experience any challenge from the tournament.

[KTChampions]

Agree. There is incomparably more money in the Premier League compared to other leagues. If I remember correctly, last season the last team in England earned more from broadcasts than the first team in Italy  This cannot but affect the overall results of the teams. I'm afraid to imagine what will happen if this trend continues and results in the total dominance of England. Even now only the top clubs from other countries can compete with the top clubs from England.

There are several things that trigger this I think, because apart from the league is more competitive for several countries that have different time zones such as in my country Serie A is sometimes not watched too often because it is always in the middle or even early in the morning when Kick Off , as for other leagues such as the EPL or La Liga although there are indeed some who play in the middle of the night but in my time zone the EPL usually starts at 8 or 9 pm so this can still be enjoyed.
But indeed I quite agree when I say EPL has more money there

The reasons are more fundamental - Italy has one of the worst GDP growth rates in the eurozone (which itself does not shine with good indicators), while England, which left the eurozone, looks much better. If you remember, once in the Champions League clubs from (relatively) poor countries like Ajax or Benfica won, but then the economic development pushed back the clubs from these countries very much and now they practically have no chance. I wonder if Italy will follow this path.

[bering]

As strong contender for Serie A title Inter Milan still cannot showed satisfied performance during friendly matches even from their 4 recent matches Inter only win once from weak team Lugano and today will be their last pre season match against Villarreal so they have to win the match but unfortunately Villarreal isn't weak team even their pre season matches results really impressive with 5 wins and no losses from 7 matches so let's see whether Inter can beat Villarreal or they will ended their pre season tour with bad results

But if Juventus drop points in this match, I doubt they are favorites to win the title this season.

Many changes have taken place in the Juventus squad and so anything is still possible in the early matches of the season as each new player joining the squad takes a little bit of time to adapt to integrate the chemistry with the team play.
In terms of quality, Juventus is indeed superior to Sassuolo but with the many changes that have occurred I think there is still another chance for the results that occur in this match, even I think Juventus chances are only 50% to win this match, the rest they could get a draw or suffer defeat.

New Juventus players are not young players who are difficult to adapt to, the new players who are recruited by Juventus are senior players who I think are no doubt for a chemistry because they understand how to play professionally. Also, basically Juventus are used to playing without Dybala because Dybala had been injured several times so yes, Dybala's departure is not a big problem for Juventus. Therefore, I personally wouldn't doubt it, if you say the chance is 50% I think it's an incorrect percentage, 70%-80% I think it's still a decent percentage for Juventus to win in this match.

Let's see how Dybala will be going to perform for AS Roma. I always like him as a player, but he had problems to keep up the level for several games in a row. Reminds me a bit of Coutinho, amazing player, but only every now and then.

I am not a big Fan  of Dybala but I like Paulo Dybala's goal celebration

Paulo Dybala is a versatile player, can be an attacking midfielder or a striker
Dybala has amazing stats as an attacking midfielder.
As a Striker Dybala is fire, shooting, long shots, passing, and his finishing is good
Some even say Dybala is a cheap version of Messi.
One of the worst things with Dybala is his Stamina.

Those were pretty much my words. He is amazing, but sadly only sporadically. What made Messi and Ronaldo the GOATS is their constant performance not over two or three years, but for more than a decade. There are many players who have a season of their life, but having more than outstanding seasons, like really outstanding, is very rare. Not only about stamina, it is also about staying healthy and being professional. Maybe Dybala finds himself in his second prime in Roma.

Several key players from Juventus' squad will be absent for the first match. We will definitely see the effect of this in the performance of Juventus. Juventus will make a big mistake if they consider Sassuolo a weak team. Juventus should play very carefully in this match. And should try not to concede goals. If they play attacking in this match, Juventus has a higher chance of defeat.

I think keep strong for Juventus on first Serie A match, playing as home will give more motivate for first three points achievement against with Sassuolo, I know some of predicting worry about Juventus squat because many regular player have missing for the first match, from disallowed like Rabbiot, Moise Kean until third player got injury like Paul Pogba, Chiesa and Mckennie. Have other player will back up position leaving by Pogba and I think Juventus keep superior against with Sassuolo on their first match. Still have Angel Di Maria on left or right side will give opportunity and assist for his debut with Juventus.

i wouldn’t worry too much about Juventus because the match is against Sassuolo, so i believe Juventus will be fine in this match, problems are bound to arise when they face stronger opponents like Inter, Milan, etc

Juventus need to bring more players into the team now, so this is proving to be really terrible for their financial situation as well because they will be giving out the salary for free, they are going to be bleeding money

but they will have to endure, i have to say this is really bad luck for Juventus at the very start of the season, it will be interesting to see what approach they take this season

Juventus without Paul Pogba I don't think it will last long and there will likely be a lot of points behind because I see their only defensive power in the midfield is Pogba, if in the first game they get a defeat it can make it difficult for Juventus to catch up with the points lost because they lost in the first match. the start of the match against Sassuolo at least not falling far behind and as much as possible to beat him to stay a little safer.

Juventus players are inexperienced or we are not saying that they will not be able to adapt to the team. Juventus' main weakness against Sassuolo is that some of their key players are injured. And against Sassuolo they won't be with the squad. And so it will not be easy for Juventus to win against Sassuolo. Although Sassuolo is not a strong team. Also, even though Pogba is experienced, don't expect him to adapt quickly to the team. Even after his long stay with Manchester United, his performance was not good.
