Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Swordsoffreedom]

they missed a lot of chances against cremonese but what matters the most is getting the 3 points, I can't take a win as a negative thing, the most important thing is how they're going to play against bigger teams like inter and Napoli and juventus, so far they got 6 out 6 points which is what they should keep doing even if all their matches end with 1 goal.

I don't surprise by the result. I watched Roma in the Mourinho era and this is the best what they got when compared with the beginning of last session. So when we talked about chance, Roma always lost it in every match, and what their fault is too easy to be satisfied, and didn't fix it on the next match where they will get lost when meet a big team as you said.

It's true that Roma has missed many chances, but we have to admit that Roma's performance this season is better than in previous seasons. They are able to create a lot of chances. Also, their defenders are playing well. Since the defenders are performing well, I think Roma will do well against strong teams.

Attacking players are missing easy chances, I don't blame Mourinho for that. Roma's match strategy is good, and so they are able to create a lot of chances. Now forward players need to be more careful. If the performance of the attacking players improves a bit, they should not suffer to score against a strong Roma team.

It is true that there is no need to be surprised if Roma will often win matches by one goal difference. Because for those who often see the teams
coached by Mourinho, they will often win by a difference of one goal. Indeed, Mourinho's principle of victory is everything, so Mourinho is not concerned
with beautiful games. The most important thing now is that Roma managed to be in third place, their position above Juventus and AC Milan who
failed to win. For sure Roma managed to win two games in a row, and it's a good start to the season for Roma. Next Roma will play away against
Juventus, and this will be a big test for Roma, but if we look at Mourinho's character, Roma will play defensively against Juventus and will rely on
counter attacks to score goals. While Juventus will certainly play attacking since the early minutes, because they needed a win after Juventus failed
to win against Sampdoria. My prediction is that the Juventus vs Roma match will end in a draw.

Hard win for Roma with a single goal against cremonese, roma totally dominated the match but the oppenet defense was solid and roma was able to score only one Goal by Smalling header, very nice season starting by murinho squad as they get two wins from tow matches

Can't call that good start when they win with 1 goal vs a low tier teams.. Roma is winning but has to be evaluated vs strong teams just like Napoli.
Meanwhile, Juve dropped points vs Sampdoria after 0-0 draw, like Milan, they let Napoli, Inter and Roma leading this time.

I think Roma was playing good because although they didn't dominated the game but during the match Roma forward players were playing so aggressive that they can created at least 7 attempts to scoring goals but indeed Cremonese goalkeeper was playing good on that match because he can saved several chances to score from Roma players and for Juventus this is indeed unexpected result because when most people predict they can win the match while against weak team but they have to satisfied with this result and upcoming match will be more difficult for them because as a host they will play against AS Roma

if Rabiot didn't get VAR then Juve would have won against Sampdoria, doesn't seem like a good day for Juve

So far, the top 6 of the Serie A standings are filled with teams that have been predicted to compete with a lot of competition from the start

the Italian league is as interesting as the premier league, not boring, not dominated by one or two teams, filled with teams that have almost the same strength and are difficult to predict

It's really a shame Juventus didn't get a single score from the match against Sampdoria, it looks like they have a very good defensive power that makes Juventus confused to get a goal, indeed there is no other choice but to make the position a draw so that the match will confuse who will be the champion in this League, Juventus should have won 1 goal to increase points in the standings.

Sampdoria took advantage of Home matches well, they managed to make Juventus players struggle to find goals, Sampdoria success in holding Juventus to a draw because their defense was very good. Allegri had to use a different formation compared to the first match. After playing with 4-4-1-1, in this match Allegri had to change the formation to 4-3-3 to accommodate the absence of Di Maria who was injured.

In terms of the game the appearance of the two teams as a whole was not so impressive, the game scheme that the two tried to develop did not work as it should. Sampdoria have to thank Audero for a stunning performance in goal, he made four saves which frustrated Juventus players and had to settle for 0-0.

Chris Smalling has been great this season. Scoring the only goal in the game will be a boost in his confidence going forward, a good and important win for Roma and Chris Smalling. Mourinho is doing a good job at Roma, alot as changed and I won't be surprised to see Roma qualifying for the champions league next season.

Smalling performed quite well in guarding the defense on the other hand he was also the only person to score with a sweet header when their players couldn't do much because of the good performance in Cremonese.
The match was quite exciting but there is still some work for Roma to do at the moment, especially in their finishing which is currently quite good in attack but is still struggling to convert into goals.

Congratulations to Roma for the massive victory they got from Cremonese yesterday. Roma defenders really demonstrated wonders in the match, because Cremonese strikers try their possible best to ensure they achieve a goal from the match but Roma defenders never allow them to have such opportunity through out the match.  I think, if Roma players can improve more in their remaining matches, I believe no teams in this Italian league competition can stop them not to win this season title, because they have what it takes to remain the best team through out this tournament.

Congratulations to Roma for the massive victory they got from Cremonese yesterday.

The victory that has just been achieved by Roma over Cremonese cannot be said to be a big victory, because they were only able to score one goal against Cremonese.
I don't understand what you mean by saying that Roma just got a big win, but judging by the difficulty of the Roma players in finding the winning goal, the Roma players deserved to celebrate this victory like a big game. Behind the success of Roma this season, can not be separated from Mourinho contribution on the sidelines, he knows what to do when his team is in trouble, this victory further extends Roma positive trend in home matches.

Roma played well, and we expect better performances from Roma this season. They are fighting for the title this season. But I was surprised after watching the Cremonese's performance. However, Cremonese lost in the last two matches. But Cremonese's performance in both matches was excellent. They also managed to score 2 goals against Fiorentina. If Roma's defenders did not perform well, Roma would have conceded several goals in this match. This new team is playing pretty well. Maybe they will fight hard to get points against Torino in the next match.

[Jody.Drummer]

I think otherwise, that AS Roma will win this match, although their opponent, Cremonese will try to put up a fight, but AS Roma won't give up that easily. Jose Mourinho will definitely apply his best strategy, because this season is an opportunity for them to get the best results in Serie A. Some changes made by AS Roma increase their confidence to overcome obstacles that will make it difficult for them.

against Fiorentina in the first week, Cremonese performed quite well even though one of their players had to be shown a red card but this time their opponent was Roma, although cremonese will fight hard but i see only big luck cremonese can beat roma

head to head sampdoria vs juve = 5 victories that are obtained by juve, it looks like this match will end the same, juve will win with a big score

Well in the end my bet was not in vain in this match.
I applaud Cremonese's game especially Radu in making saves so Dybala, Zaniolo and Tammy were quite frustrated there but indeed Roma's performance also looked very good in this match because indeed they kept pressing and fortunately Smalling with his header managed to break the deadlock for Roma.

I have to say that both Juventus and Sampdoria played very well in the match and I have to say that both teams were very unlucky in the end. There was a goal scored by Juventus that was ruled offside by the referee. As we mentioned earlier in the match, Sampdoria also had a particularly decent chance earlier in that match when the ball bounced off the post. Despite the fact that both teams had chances to break the deadlock, neither team was able to do so. The overall match was a good one, but I really believe that Juventus should have won this match.

You know there are a lot of injuries in the team, Juventus are not in an advantageous position now, they should have taken this kind of opportunity and made three points out of them.

In terms of performance during the match, Sampdoria was indeed superior because it could fend off all attacks given by Juventus, but from the results of the evaluation of this match, the dominance of the resistance from the two was very thin and Juventus had higher ball possession even though it looked a little. It was also seen that Di Maria didn't play on the pitch so in my opinion without Di Maria they seemed to have lost their intelligence to break into Sampdoria's strategy because I believe that when Di Maria plays, the result will not be a draw.

Hard fought win indeed for as roma.

Jose mourinho magic touch once again proven seems to be not the same as it was back in the days , as roma looks small with that kind strategy while actually they should have mastering the game with such team composition , i'm not sure if he is really loving the negative football or it's just yet another mou fails in managerial career.

So far Roma performance has improved dramatically, although it can't be said that the Roma squad is perfect, but Mourinho's touch is felt in every game that Roma plays. Mourinho has the experience and credibility to demand the best from his players, the win over Cremonese is proof of what Mourinho is showing.
Now Roma have found a coach who can lift the mentality of the team, Mourinho immediately gave evidence that Roma decision to appoint him as coach was very appropriate. In his debut season with Roma, he immediately gave the UEFA Conference League trophy to Roma, even though Roma player resources are very limited.

Mourinho has made several changes within the Roma squad. He changed Roma's entire game strategy. Now the Roma team is much more stable. However, Roma has a weakness in their attack. Roma's attack is not strong enough. Players like Abraham and Dybala are in Roma's attack. However, I think Roma needs another experienced striker. In the last match too we saw many easy chances missed by Roma players. If Roma management's target is to win the title, they will definitely have to spend some more money.

[hahay]

Juventus and Roma got results that disappointed me, Roma played at home and only against Cremonese but Roma still only won by a narrow score. Indeed, it doesn't matter, but I hope Roma can appear more aggressive against a mediocre team to win big, at least to prove with their current squad they can play better. Also with Juventus, with a final result like this I assume that the big teams in Serie A are not strong teams in the title candidates this season, they still need more time to get better.

[OcTradism]

AS Roma 1 - 0 US Cremonese

this was a very difficult game for rome. Roma had to play defense, they even had to make attacking players play back to help defense, that's why I like mourinho, he does whatever is necessary to win and forces players to try hard and are players who may be able to temporarily play in all positions on the field when playing. congratulations roma

Again Roma just won with a single goal that is exactly Mourinho style 

In the match, Roma dominated it and had many opportunities but they were lack of accuracy and luck for their shots. Dybala still did not have a first goal for Roma. 3 points is good to move forwards with other competitors in Scudetto race but at least they have one bad news from Zaniolo. The talented and important player got an injury and will need a few weeks to come back.

Juventus did not win. They shared the points. Also, Juventus' performance in this match was poor. After watching the performance of Juventus in the first match, I had higher expectations from them. Juventus played a defensive strategy in this match. If they didn't play defensively, they might have been able to score.

I don't think Roma performed badly. However, Roma scored only one goal. However, Roma attacked a lot in this match. However, they missed a few easy-scoring opportunities. But gradually I think we will get better performance from Roma striker.

It is inseparable from the slick game from Cremonese which is able to balance the game from Dybala cs. Even though this is a slim score, I don't think it's too disappointing because AS Roma's game actually played quite well. It's just that they still have to improve a few touches so that the game is more effective. This is a good start for them to wade deeper in the League. They will be preparing to become champions this season.

After watching the match we can conclude that Di Maria is one of the most important players for the Juve team because his absence made the Juve team have to play with a draw against Semprodia even though in that match Allegri applied a different formation to the previous match but unfortunately that change did not have a positive impact on the Juventus team.

I don't think Juventus will be held to a draw against Sampdoria. it seems that there is indeed a misunderstanding of the implementation of the strategy used by Juventus. they had possession but didn't create many shooting chances. even Juve only made 10 shots throughout the game. there's something wrong with the Juventus attacking midfielder. and I don't know if it's Di Maria or not, but there aren't enough balls for the strikers.

[marcous]

Dimaria is an influential player in the early matches of Juventus this season. However, due to the injury he suffered he had to miss the second match of Juventus. Without Di Maria it seems like Juventus is difficult to score even though the chances they create are quite a lot but there is no perfect finish. Next week Juventus will play As Roma, of course, Allegri should be able to arrange a better strategy, considering that As Roma are currently a team that has achieved maximum results in the previous two matches.
