Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Sebas.tian]

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.

I think, Roma coach will definitely work on their defense before their next match so that they will not experience what happened in their last match that made their strikers to found it difficult to achieve many goals. Now that their strikers has showcased their tactics fans want to see if truly they can perform very well in this season to enable the team to embrace the title. Roma will definitely get it right in their next match, because their strikers has learned how to achieve early goals that will bring celebration at the end of the match which is their major challenge in their last match.

Roma did not concede any goal against Salernitana. I would say their main weakness in this match is scoring only one goal despite a lot of attacks. Roma made a total of 20 shots. However, Mourinho is an experienced coach. He knows very well where his team's weaknesses are. Perhaps Roma's performance will be more stable in the next match.

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.

I'm watching Roma formation since friendly matches that since Dybala arrived they often to used 3-4-2-1 with make Dybala as attacking midfielder and Tammy Abraham as single striker and it looks very effective because Roma can playing with more attacking but Mourinho is typical manager who have no particular pattern to use strategy so he will used different strategies depend on teams condition and Mourinho is the coach who only thinking the results so he dare to playing with negative football as long as his team win the matches and this is his habit since in Porto until now

The good thing about them is that Roma won the match with a good performance. A few missed chances turned into goals but I think that's normal considering the players' finishing is not good. I agree to add some strikers, this will definitely help them have a good goal productivity this season. Apart from that, the change in strategy will also help them get good form from their players, but since it's only the start of the season, it's good to look forward to the next few match.

I think Roma's defense is very good because they always evaluate all the matches that have taken place and using this position they are quite good, it's just that maybe the attackers try to do a strategy with a combination of several players so that it doesn't look like their own execution which in essence deceives the opposing goalkeeper to cheated and can score a goal, if you change position again the possibility of the defense will not be strong anymore, so what needs to be considered is only the trick for the attacker to score a lot of goals.

it's a little early to sum up any team's defense and attack
not to mention that Roma have not yet faced any noteworthy challenges, we will see it when they play with attacks from important teams
I'm not saying she's not good, I'm saying she has to have better challenges to pass the exam

Salernitana is not a worthy opponent for Roma, but in that match Roma did not manage to score many goals. The match stats were almost the same for both teams but Roma had a slight advantage with his shot that ended in goal. Roma need to evaluate the result of the first match and make some changes in the next match because if not, then Juventus can really be favorites this time.

This week the most interesting match in my opinion is the Atalanta vs Milan match. So far both teams have both won their first match, but Milan didn't really have a strong defense so they conceded 2 goals that time. Atalanta will play open, it is a home match for them.

[Pmalek]

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.

Bad luck for Di Maria. Great debut and then an injury in this first match. It's being predicted that he will be out at last 20 days, maybe even a month due to his age and slower recovery process. Cuadrado is certainly moving back to his natural right wing position with Kostic getting control of the left wing. But Di Maria remains a class better than both Cuadrado and Kostic. As soon as he gets fit, he is going to be a starter.
 

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.

They sure are. Without strong central midfielders, no team can expect success in the Champions League. Seems like the transfer of Rabiot to MAN U has been blocked due to the wage demands of his degenerate agent/mother. I hope she gets her shit together and manages to reach an agreement with the staff from MAN U because Rabiot's transfer is essential to bringing in Paredes from PSG.

Roma is building the strength of the club to compete in Serie A, since the arrival of Jose Mourinho this club has changed a lot, so it is very important in Serie A, Roma need to buy some players, defensive midfielders, defenders and strikers, to increase their attacking power and control the game, because we know that Jose Mourinho often uses defensive strategies if the opponent he is facing is stronger than them, so I think what is really needed now is defenders and defensive midfielders.

Yes, the power that AS Roma has built is a threat to Serie A teams, how can they not do that. Although there still needs to be some improvement in some positions, but if this were Serie A I believe they will be able to make it difficult. Because if we look at the other teams, their strength is also not perfect, there is still a gap for them to slip.

Di Maria play from the start and that surprised me a bit, but he is in very good shape. At half time 2-0, it was easy, but Sassuolo is not Inter Milan. I hope the injured Pogba, Chiesa, Jorge will soon recover and can play successfully. This time I hope for no bad start of Jeventus in the first 10 league games, that was last season so and about this they had no chance of the title.

Juventus have potential players in the club but injury will be their biggest threat for both Allegri and the club. Pogba also said to have been ruled out for a long time, which means he might probably missed the World Cup which is behind the corner. Chiesa, my favorite player in the team and also in Italy, on the bench also, because of injury, it's all a matter of time for these players to bounce back to training and gained their fitness, you would see that the old lady will start winning games, perhaps they're still winning games with their new signing Angel Di Maria who made an incredible debut for his new team.

Juventus always had troubles with important players being injured. Remember Dybala on them ? Most of the times he had some problems and had to take only half of the games and rarely made it to full 90 minutes. Maybe there is something with Juventus recovery method ? Or the program itself is way to much ? Because if I remember correctly even Ronaldo had some injury problems with them but he never had any of those with Real or Man united x2. DiMaria has a certain age ...so that might be an extra factor for his recent injury.

One goal and one assist in his debut game with a new club is a fine feat by Angel Di Maria. Now Juventus is in second place and this season Juventus is ready to return to being a team that will win the Serie A champions.
Juventus' performance against Sassuolo was quite good overall and Angel Di Maria performed with very good quality. Maria will perform even better if Paul Pogba is in the squad.

Imagine Juventus with all its potential, if they already manage to score 3 goals easily (of course we consider that the team they faced was not very strong). Let's imagine with all the holders fit and ready to play! Can't wait honestly.

AS Roma are very enthusiastic about welcoming the new season after making an overhaul in their squad, the first match was successfully wrapped in a win. The new force that was formed with Jose Mourinho still hasn't given the best performance, the only goal that Roma got in the first game was scored by their midfielder. Mourinho must immediately find a solution so that the Roma striker is able to break into the opponent's goal, Dybala and Tammy Abraham must be more productive in the next match.
Roma have no problem at all with the defense, Mourinho can certainly see a gap if Roma back line has problems. Mourinho focus in the next match is on the attack line, he must be able to make the Roma striker more productive than the previous season.

Yes, you are right, the team coached by the legendary Jose Mourinho (the special one) has made significant progress, the defense is rocky and it is a stable force. I see the midfield well placed. The attack I did not understand if it was bad luck or the attackers have yet to figure out how to move with tactics. Sure you're right.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Juventus were much better than I expected. Honestly my expectation was like Sassuolo would make serious difficulties to them. Pogba got injured also which made me think like they would struggle in the midfield too. Actually Sassuolo really found many chances as they got even more goal attempts and shots on goal than Juventus. However Juventus still scored 3 goals in 4 shots on goal and won 3-0.

Allegri tried Di Maria beside Vlahovic and it really worked. Because while Vlahovic was scoring two goals Di Maria scored one goal and made an assist. Di Maria's goal was really aesthetic by the way.

From the start it was also believed that Di Maria would be an option if Pogba could not be played and that proved to be effective in this match. I think they have found a reliable player, like Di Maria. Maybe from the match that will be played, I think the meeting between the competitors will probably be the determinant of their points acquisition, in other words the positive results achieved will be breath for them for the Scudetto.

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.

I saw the front side of As roma very strong in the match against selernitana where they recorded 20 shots that endangered the opponent's goal in that match, So I agree with your statement that the attacking line of AS roma was quite productive in the match against selernitana but their only one chance managed to become goal. New AS Roma players like Dybala also performed optimally in that match but he failed to score a goal in his first match. Well I see the 3-4-2-1 formation is quite good for this match but the slight drawback it will be easy for their opponent to do fast attacks if the opposing players move actively when they build attacks quickly.

Di Maria is a very talented player, while he is more experienced than Pogba. Di Maria can therefore be considered as a suitable replacement for Pogba. But Di Maria's main problem is his lack of fitness. And he gets injured very easily. If he doesn't get badly injured this season, I think Juventus' performance this season will be stable.
