Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[blackbold]

The Milan derby has become a proving stage in Serie A, who is the best between the two this season. these two teams were equally great in the previous season, especially in this upcoming derby where Ac milan as champions last season will try hard to get the maximum result after they have to share the results in the previous match. Inter will play with the previous winning capital and this is a good point for Inter to beat AC Milan. in terms of players both teams have quality players, especially since Lukaku returned to inter in this summer window. Giroud has started to be active in finding the net this season I think he will score in this derby.

In their last match, these two city rivals achieved different results. Milan were only able to draw 0-0 with the hosts Sassuolo, while Inter beat the promoted Cremonese 3-1 after being beaten by Lazio 1-3.
but I read the news In the Inter Milan camp, ahead of facing AC Milan, Inter Milan will not be strengthened by Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Dalbert, and the striker, Romelu Lukaku. All three players were forced to retire due to injury. even so I think this derby match will be very interesting and intense.

So far, Lukaku has not been of much use to Inter, since he returned to Inter, he behaves in attack somehow lazily, maybe he needs to adapt back to Serie A. Moreover, he is injured now and he will not play in the match with Milan. I looked at the odds for the match, Inter even give a slight preference to Inter 2.6, and the chances of winning Milan 2.8 are almost equal, but the match with Lazio showed that Inter can fail when they are pressed by the attacking team, Lazio could score even more. But I don't think that Milan will attack so actively in this derby, they will most likely choose a defensive tactic.

Juventus are going to face Fiorentina in the opening game of the week. It is going to be a really tough away game for them above all else. Fiorentina have been making difficulties for them quite much in the games in this stadium. However I feel like Juventus will have revenge on their last game here which ended 2-0. They are still having some problems with getting comfortable wins these days. But I think the win against Spezia will boost their morale for this one.

I'm expecting a very close game and a win by one goal for Juventus. However I'd rather bet on Juventus directly @2.40 instead of betting on handicap.

Juventus unpredictable team because still not consistent on every week games, last match success defeated Spezia 2-0 but have not really good performance last two games before after held draw by AS Roma and Sampdoria. Almost the same inconsistent performance from guest team Fiorentina in last four games just with one won, two draw and one loss. Depending with last games Juventus have favorite to win than Fiorentina after losing from Udinese and I think @2.40 odds for Juventus is bigger, never left opportunity betting for Juventus and my predicting match result Juventus can win from Fiorentina on opening games 5th weeks of Serie A.

I believe this season might be a very close fight at the top between all the teams that are there right now.

Mourinho let's his team play the minimum style he is known so well for. Not score many goals, but also don't concede a lot and that's it. Right now it just doesn't seem as if there was this one team that is stronger than anyone else. It's anything but set in stone that Juventus would win the title easily. That's not at all the case. Who knows maybe Mourinho is already dreaming!

It will be hard for sure.
A lot of players will be missing and keep in mind that next week they have the champions league even if they will have no chance versus PSG it will be mentally consuming.

Juventus does not have it easy against anyone in this situation. Of course they had hoped that Pogba would join in. They don't have a player of his caliber in midfield. I don't know what to think of Juventus, there is a lot of quality in the team but we have already seen in this season that it is not all that easy. And I don't expect it to get better anytime soon. AC Milan have also not had a good start, but that is really only Inter of the favorites at the moment.

[Alanaz]

I think Atalanta will challenge the Scudetto this season. we can see from that game Atalanta are back to their best again this season, they are solid up front and behind. The Koopminers played phenomenal football in the winning goal. Great Hatrick.

Uh...bruh i don't think that is possible, i don't mean Atalanta is not a good team, they are very good and i love to watch their games, they play fine football and are very interesting to watch, but i don't feel they can challenge for the title this season, there are teams that are better than them and the title will be between these teams. AC Milan, Inter Milan, Napoli, Lazio and Juventus are the three challengers for the title in my opinion, maybe as more games as played this season, other challengers may emerge, like Atalanta and Roma, but right now i don't consider them challengers.

Well what you said is true, to be in the Scudetto this season will still be very difficult for Atalanta but they can still compete in the top 4.
They for the Scudetto still have a lot to improve starting from their squad and other things in the game scheme and a capable Strategy.
They played well and that's a fact for now, but for the Scudetto they still can't be there.

[SatoPrincess]

Fiorentina have always been one tough rival for Juventus and games between this two have always been tough and competitive, back when Vlahovic was at Fiorentina their games used to be very tough and lively. Vlahovic will be playing against his old club and he will want to show his capabilities and put up an impressive performance.

It seems that in this case there are still many people who really think that Pogba is one of the players who can bring Juventus to play well.
We know that Pogba is still indispensable in the Juventus midfield but that doesn't mean when he's not around Juventus can't do much.
There are still some midfielders who are playing well and one of them is Locatelli who has played really well in these games.
Poga's presence would be very good but at this time Juventus can still do it even without Pogba being there.

Seri A is an increasingly competitive League. there is no strong dominance for just one or two clubs. Serie A is arguably better than the Bundesliga and French League 1.
 
Milan was the defending champion last season. and of course, they have strong ambitions to defend the title this season.
but the problem of consistency lies with the other strong teams as well. even Milan had to be held to a goalless draw by Sassuolo. I also still believe Milan can overcome this and catch up with the points.

I agree. If we are talking about "overall" level then Serie A is definitely much much better than bundesliga and Ligue 1, I still think they are worse than La Liga and obviously the best league in the world to me is Premier league, some may disagree but I love it so much. PSG for example is better than all teams in Serie A, or Bayern Munich is better than any team in Serie A, that much I am sure of.

But, when you look overall talent of all clubs in the league, then you realize that it would be better. When calculating this, I calculate it this way, if you put all teams in both leagues into just one league, how much of the top half would be serie A and how much would be bundesliga? I would say champion would be Bayern, but more than 50% of the top half would be serie A and that is very important.

[boris singer]

Atalanta back up top of the league on goal difference with Roma right behind them. Atalanta have had much easier opponents compared to Roma though(besides Milan). Serie A is already turning interesting with many teams looking like title contenders. Its about who can keep it consistent, that will determine the end result.

Next week will be quite a tough game with a lot of scheddule for some of the top clubs as they also have to start preparing for the Champions League and Europe and this obviously has to be put to good use by Atalanta.
Now they have to return to their original position which last season had to be given up because their performance was not good.
Earlier this season they did it right, now they have to stay focused because before the big games against Roma and Fiorentina they have to keep picking up full points against Monza and Cremonese.

I think Atalanta will challenge the Scudetto this season. we can see from that game Atalanta are back to their best again this season, they are solid up front and behind. The Koopminers played phenomenal football in the winning goal. Great Hatrick.

I don't think Atalanta can win the Scudetto.
There are at least four very strong contenders: Juventus, Milan, Inter and Rome.
The others can only be annoying but in the long run they cannot win the Scudetto.

Same, Atalanta might win the scudetto if the other teams are failing but it is definitely not the case.. Atalanta lacks consistency and this will be more obvious in the upcoming games.

Yes we have not been able to confirm how Atalanta is undergoing this season indeed, so far they played well and managed to draw against Milan
If Atalanta can be consistent then they can be considered as a competitor they have a reliable striker Teun Koopmeiners who have scored 4 goals in 4 matches
and Atalanta has a solid defense only conceded 2 goals so far including the least after Juventus and Roma.

[lalabotax]

So far, Atalanta could utilize every chance to win in every match, except when against Milan, they could make a drawn result. This is very good progress for this club. They are confident enough this early season. However in some next matches, their opponents are not the big clubs, so, if they are able to utilize again the chance, they will still be able to win the match and be in the top standing.

The draw against Milan should be an evaluation for them. It means they are not strong enough to play against top clubs in Serie A. Atalanta needs more extra effort and choose a more appropriate strategy once they play against top clubs again in the next few matches. But they are lucky enough that they won't play against strong teams in the near future. So, they are probably to stay at the top of Serie A standings.

Fiorentina will host today's match
Based on the record of the last meet between the two, Fiorentina managed to beat Juventus 2-0 at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in the 38th match of Serie A last season.
The bad news is that Fiorentina have not found their best game in the last few matches where they have not win a match at all in the last three weeks. On the other hand Juventus are also in a situation that has not fully recovered, it is difficult to predict their game
But I prefer Juventus in today's match

[laurenB7742]

It is not possible to say for sure who will be the league champion right now. But we can guess. However, the team that can perform consistently has a higher chance of winning the title. Last season we saw the Napoli team, they were at the top of the points table for a long time at the beginning of the season. Won many matches in a row. But gradually the players started losing form. And at the end of the season, Napoli was in third place. Therefore, the team that will have the most consistency in performance. There will be stability in the performance of the players. They are more likely to win the title. So far the Roma squad looks pretty stable. But not sure if they will lose form.

I don’t think that winning the title will be Roma’s main objective this year, because their very first objective would be is to secure a champions league spot, hence I always believed that they would be trying to finish in the top 4 and then reinvest next year and properly challenge for the title.
However one worrying point is next season will be Mourinho’s third season at Roma, and we all know what happens when he enters the third season, because then he starts his usual antics and end up leaving the club but for Roma’s sake I hope that they can keep him longer, because the longer he stays at Roma then they’ll almost be guaranteed to win a title.

you are right Their aim is to qualify for the Champions League before winning the title. And with the steady performance, Roma is now, playing the season like this, it won't be difficult for Roma to qualify for the Champions League. Roma can easily finish the season in the top four of the points table. This requires players to maintain their fitness and perform consistently.

Mourinho probably won't leave Roma without fully stabilizing the Roma squad. It was a new challenge for Mourinho. Previously Mourinho coached all the renowned teams. Roma was quite a weak team compared to them. Mourinho may want to win the title with this team.

Fiorentina will be a difficult opponent for Juventus, especially if we look at the head to head in the last 3 seasons in Serie A. Fiorentina are
unbeaten when playing at home, 1 win and 2 draws, so this is a motivation for Fiorentina players to maintain this positive record. As you said
the problem is Fiorentina started the season with a bad form, while Juventus achieved better results than Fiorentina. So to be honest this is
a difficult match to predict for me. Therefore I decided not to bet on the Fiorentina vs Juventus match, but my prediction is the same as yours,
maybe Juventus can beat Fiorentina. Moreover, Di Maria was able to return to play, this will make Juventus front line even more solid.

[Jody.Drummer]

This week we will see the Milan Derby, where both clubs are favorites to win the Scudetto title this season. Their defense and attack are not entirely good.
Their last 5 matches have not seen a significant difference. Inter Milan with 2 wins, AC Milan 1 win and the rest ended in a draw. It is difficult to present who will win, but the match will be interesting.

As defending champions, Milan are unbeaten this season, while Inter have lost once. Milan who are one point behind Inter want a win to improve their ranking in the standings, but Inter are not a team that gives up easily, Simone Inzaghi will try to give Milan a fight to get victory in the Derby della Madonnina. Milan also has a bad record when they host Inter, Milan has never recorded a win when acting as the host. Milan's bad record can be used by Inter to extend Milan record of defeat in the Derby della Madonnina when acting as the host, especially in the last match Milan lost points when playing with Sassuolo.

But we also can't rule out the two draws that Milan have received now.
Actually, I still find it difficult to predict, regardless of the performance of both parties, it is still not predictable who will be able to win considering that both teams still have their respective advantages and disadvantages and the chance of a draw is still quite large in this match.

It's hard to say for Atalanta.  They have a lot of good teams ahead of them.  Strong teams in terms of staff.  For example, Inter, Milan, Juventus, Roma and Napoli have better squad quality than them.  Atalanta started the league well, but I think their chances of becoming champions are low.

That's right, just what I thought.
They are not a weak team, Atalanta are as strong as Lazio (for example) but I don't see them as a probable winner for many reasons.
He does not have a large squad of players, he does not have the experience, he does not have the strength to manage the league and cups.
It remains only possible for large teams.

[Pmalek]

Moreover, Di Maria was able to return to play, this will make Juventus front line even more solid.

It certainly helps a lot. But somehow I have the feeling that he won't be in the team from the start because Juventus will also be thinking about their upcoming match VS PSG in the Champions League next week. It seems weird to gamble with Serie A in that way though. Some media reports even suggest that Vlahovic might be benched and rested and that Milik will start together with Kostic and Cuadrado. I am curious if Paredes will begin and if he will be paired with Miretti or not. Fabio has started 3 matches in a row, so Allegri might be thinking about resting him as well.
