Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

Di Maria and Pogba are both injuries prone. Di Maria could not perform in many important matches of the PSG and Argentina teams due to injury. So Di Maria should perfume very carefully. He seems to have adapted himself to the Juventus team. So if he suffers a major injury now, it will have an impact on Juventus' performance. On the other hand, due to injury, Pogba will not be able to perform in several matches at the beginning of the season.

Juventus' victory over sassuole I had guessed from the start. But I didn't expect Di Maria and Vlahovic to be key players. They are very good at cultivating the ball and making moves to open up space. The combination of the two of them looked pretty good in the early game. Hopefully that continues because I believe Juventus need the stability of the team to get the title. In addition, it may be that Pogba's presence after recovering will also have a positive impact. Because they have played together, of course, it doesn't take long to adapt.

The match played between Juventus and Shasulo was won by Juventus 3-0.  Angel Di Maria scored the first goal for Juve. He scored a goal in just 26 minutes to give Juventus the lead Later, before the end of the first half, he scored from the penalty in the 43rd minute D. Vlahovic. And Juventus secured their victory early in the second half with his second goal on 51 minutes and Juventus' third.  However, Juventus won this match 3-0 with only 42% possession of the ball.

I had my doubts about how Juventus is going to perform without paul pogba. But Juventus did very well to hold their own in the match And that was a convincing performance from Juventus I have to say. Di Maria and Vlahović did really well for Juventus. And what I really liked watching was they have played as a team and they did very well to complement each other in the field. Something that I certainly did not see in the last season from juventus.

Roma dominated their game but could not capitalize on the chances they had. Roma missed too many chances to score. They have good attackers who can score goals, they have to work on their finishing to win games comfortably and also work on their defense.

Juventus immediately stepped on the gas in the first match of the season, the power that had just been formed could work optimally. Di Maria made a perfect debut by scoring one goal against Sassuolo, the presence of Di Maria in the Juventus Squad can bring Allegri Squad to a better direction this season.
Sassuolo still looks like a small team for Juventus, there is not much Sassuolo players can do in this match, they can only withstand the onslaught of Juventus players throughout the game.

A very good start for Juventus, a confident victory. I really liked the way Di Maria plays, he adapted very quickly to the team and for Juventus he became a very significant strengthening. It would be interesting to see how Pogba would interact with Di Maria, but even now I like this kind of Juventus, I was skeptical before this match. Vlahovic is also was very good, he is not afraid to shoot a lot on goal, and Perin did a good job too.

In this case it may also apply to Salernitana because in the match they run at home, they clearly give high confidence even though they have a little more ball possession than Roma.
Actually their defense is also quite good in this regard but indeed this result is clearly in favor of Roma even though Mou still needs to rack his brains for their forward players.

AS Roma played quite well in their first game of the season where a number of players who had just been brought in this summer entered the starting eleven for the Roma squad against selernitana. but it looks like what you say is true As Roma had some good chances in that game but unfortunately they failed to take advantage of them well in the finishing. But it was a pretty good game which Mourinho judged after the match he was satisfied with the appearance of his team. The most interesting thing in Serie A is that the big clubs at the start of this season all won early matches such as Inter Milan, AS Roma, AC Milan, Juventus and Napoli.

The problem is that it is just the beginning of the season and the players are not able to concentrate as it is the first game of the season. I am wondering if this problem is going to be fixed going forward in the season. I was really looking forward to seeing Paulo Dybala score a goal. In my opinion, he was quite unlucky since two of his goal-scoring shots failed to reach the goalline due to the fact that they hit the post.

According to what I am seeing, I think Roma will be able to play better this season than what they did in the previous season based on the way they played. It is obvious, however, that the finishing needs to be improved as well. Cremonese is going to be the next opponent for Roma and I expect them to win that match without too many problems.

Liverpool may not be looking like they are doing amazing neither, but I am 100% certain that they are much much better than United. This is why I believe that this game will be easy. Of course football is never easy and we are going to see anything that could happen. Maybe Liverpool is so fed up with not getting a win already, they are going to end up with a 5-0 victory, which we all know they love beating United and did so very well last year too.

Or maybe United will have a miracle day, all players will put their best effort, they will all play amazingly that we have never seen them before, and they will somehow manage to win. I just think that's unlikely though, LFC will have an easy win.

That's the risk they took because otherwise they couldn't build such a great team. Think about it, when they play with 100% healthy, how good are these players? Both Pogba and Di Maria play amazingly right? They are amazing players and they will help them be champions for sure. But, how could we sure that they will help them win? We can't because they could get injuries.

If they weren't like that and they won all games, then why would these players be here, they would be in much better clubs. So, I have to say that they took a gamble and if it pays off then it would be great but if it doesn't then it doesn't. We shouldn't consider this as a big deal.

Uniquely, none of the first Serie A matches ended in a draw, meaning 10 teams won the match while 10 other teams lost.
The biggest win in the first week was Napoli with 5 goals, then followed by Milan with 4 goals and so on Juventus and Fiorentina with 3 goals. The top teams win their respective match, it's completely different to other leagues.

As I thought, Milan, Inter, Juventus, Napoli will have good results from the first week of the season. They managed to win the match and this will make this competition very competitive. I believe about these top 4 teams for the title race this season, but Roma will not be excluded.

It's true that the Serie A competition has just started again, so some players still need time to get back to their best. Especially for players who
have just been bought, they may have to adapt first to their new team. Moreover, Roma brought in quite a lot of new players, so it's only natural
that Roma still needs time for its players to work well together. Even players like Paulo Dybala who have played in Serie A for a long time,
looks like it will take a few games to match Roma's style of play. Most importantly Roma can get 3 points in their first game in Serie A,
hopefully in the next game Roma can score more goals. Moreover, the next Roma will face Cremonese which is a promotion team, so at least
Roma's quality is better, Roma should be able to win the game and compete to win the Serie A trophy this season.

Kluivert will leave Roma and Belotti will be officially with the team in few days if everything ends well, which will boost the attack line of Roma. Dybala and Zaniola threatened Salernitana much, they didn't succeed this time but that won't be the case next time.

We cannot say that because the Liverpool I see now I no longer the Liverpool I used to know.Their attack looks so dull without Mane,remember they used to have the three wise men upfront,Mane, Salah and Firminho,and the most active person among these three players was Mane because he pursues football energetically without being tired,thereby putting fear in the defenders and making them make mistakes.And for the game against United,I still see a draw in that game.The both team will end up drawing.

It looks like Belotti will join AS Roma it's only a matter of time and clearly it will be a suitable signing,
the transfer market can be said to be quite long and anything can still happen,
I hope Belotti really goes to AS Roma

The penalty from viahovic was a nice one.

He shot in the middle of the goal, there was nothing special about it. Had the keeper not moved, he would have shot straight at him.

I was pleasantly surprised with Bremer last night. I already remember him as a physically-gifted defender from last season the way he manhandled Vlahovic in both matches against Torino that made the coach substitute Dusan because he couldn't do anything. But in Juventus, Bremer plays in a slightly different role. He is positioned on the left side in the defense, whereas he used to play in the right central back role in Torino. He was massive in aerial duels and recorded a few blocked shots as well.

Alex Sandro played a great game. I hope the arrival of Kostic makes him man up and continue in the same way. I don't like seeing Cuadrado on the left, but he had to make room for Di Maria who attacks from the right side.

There were still a few negatives last night. Juventus can't keep possession and were made to defend for big parts of the match. The Locatelli-Zakaria pairing was bad. Especially Loca gave the ball away far too easily. Di Maria got injured and was immediately substituted to be allowed to rest after about 70 mins. Hopefully he won't be sidelined.   

As they have had quite some changes I guess it will take a little time for them to sort things out and harmonize better on the pitch.

Di Maria will be out for a while due to a muscular injury. Might open an opportunity for Cuadrado to switch sides. I assume if that works out well it might not even be easy for Di Maria to return once he cured his injury.

Vlahovic now had a good start. He is certainly a strong offender and perhaps kind of the missing puzzle piece compared to last season. I know he already played for Juventus, but maybe he is able to also step up his game and also benefits from the wing players even more. I am not sure yet though what to think of the role Juventus could be playing in the Champions League. It still feels they are a good bit behind compared to City or Bayern at this stage. I might be wrong though.

I do however think that their game might highly concentrate on Vlahovic scoring goals. A little bit similar to Lewandowski and Bayern, implying that Vlahovic definitely needs to stay healthy in order for Juventus to remain competitive in the decisive games.

It was reported that AS Roma wanted to buy Belotti but the steps to buy it were very slow and in my opinion AS Roma deliberately slowed down the transaction because of the possibility of further consideration they were not too interested and had already bought it, at AS Roma his career will go far and hopefully this in accordance with Belotti's desire to improve his career in the world of world football.

Andrea Belotti has rejected better offers from other clubs abroad just because he wants to join Roma. From Roma's last match performance, it is very clear that coach José Mourinho really needs the services of Belotti. The attacking force of Roma was not at its best against Salernitana. They missed so many goal scoring opportunities that would have given them more than a one goal win. It is expected that the transfer process of Belotti would be completed this week because there are possibilities that one of Shomurodov, Afena-Gyan, or Kluivert would move to a new club.

Roma's gameplay and match strategy are quite good. They made many attacks against Salernitana. But could not score more than one goal. Roma could not score due to the lack of experienced finishers. If Andrea Belotti joins Roma, Roma's attack will be a bit stronger. But he is not a regular scorer. Mourinho needs a regular scorer to win the title. Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to win against the likes of Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus.

I would probably prefer to make their formation 3-4-3 with Dybala and Zaniolo being pulled forward rather than being used as second strikers. Because indeed this can create flexibility for their midfield to be creative on the other hand their wingers can also run well so Abraham's focus is only on being the targetman in scoring goals.
It's still a good thing in my opinion rather than having to force players to pile up in midfield but it's quite difficult to goals.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

Even if it sounds cliché for a reason but when you look at some of their players who had to be in the treatment room at the start of this season it was definitely not something good.
Maybe last season they could serve as an example and actually this is not for them either but I might also say this for Atalanta because indeed they are almost the same as making a gamble with the tight schedule they play that makes them thrown. It is not impossible if Milan is also likely to experience the same thing.

If so then Milan's focus is only on player rotation, as you mentioned that they will have a more congested playing schedule, the condition of other clubs is also experiencing the same thing as Milan, where they play in various competitions, of course this has an impact on the density playing schedule, that's why every club must have a substitute player who can at least play according to the direction of the coach and so far Mila can certainly overcome this problem, as long as the core players can maintain fitness and be careful

It is my opinion that right now the best part of Roma is their attack, and I believe they should invest more players into that part of the game. On the other hand, it is also true that if there is no supply from the midfield, it is going to be difficult for them to attack with coordination. As far as the supply was concerned in the last match, I do not think there was any problem with it. One of the only things I found to be problematic was their finishing lineup. My opinion is that they should try the formation once more in order to see if it works. Due to the fact that there was an adequate supply of midfield players.
