Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Jody.Drummer]

This week there will be a big match between AC Milan and Juventus. Both clubs still haven't been able to find their best game so far, especially Juventus which continues to be overshadowed by unsatisfactory performances every week. AC Milan's chance to win is quite large, especially since they will play a home match, at the Sa Siro Stadium. It's really hard to decide where I will bet because with the condition of the two clubs it is possible for something unpredictable to happen. But I will try to make AC Milan the favourite.

I hope that Juventus will wake up a little
risks being a match played only in the Juventus half-field at the moment

I am very sorry for their situation, but you have to spend your money wisely
this is my opinion

It's really difficult for Juventus at this time because if you look at their current condition, even though Milan can be said to be still not perfect, but with Juventus' current condition it is clear that Milan is still better.
They still haven't been able to improve their performance because at this time Juventus still have problems in each of their lines so it becomes very difficult for Juventus.
It would be very good if they managed to bring points or at least bring a draw in this match because otherwise there will be more criticism in my opinion.

For Dybala I agree with you, but for Cristiano Ronaldo not so much. He had never been very close to the team, it seemed to me just a commercial operation.
In any case, if players leave and do not arrive it is a signal of a "monetary" problem, as I have always said.
This season Allegri has to work in reserve, with a team with low morale.

There is no doubt that Allegri is trying his best to improve the performance of the team in every possible way. Honestly, it is very difficult to do anything if all the players of the team are not available because of injuries which are preventing them from playing. It is important to keep in mind that injuries are something that cannot be prepared for before the season even starts.

Juventus is going to play Milan in the next match. I will be very interested to see how Juventus will perform against Milan. I really want Juventus to win this match. But if you ask me if Juventus is going to win this match or not, I will have to say that I have my doubts. But Milan is also not doing very well this season. So that is going to be a plus point for Juventus. I am interested to see which players Allegri decides to play in this match.

Allegri's major issue right now, in my opinion, is that he has flat-out refused to change with the game.

I thought, he himself is the issue, unfortunately is the issue at Juventus can't be resolved immediately, namely replacing the person with someone who can bring changes to Juventus' appearance, the reason is the economy I read that it will be an expensive cost, so we will still see him there without making any changes

The main problem that is slowing down Allegri's dismissal is purely economic. Juventus president Agnelli had the coach sign a four-year contract expiring in 2025 for £6.1million-a-year plus £1.7m in bonuses.

They are currently in addition to being faced with performance, their financial condition is also getting worse now so there really needs to be some things to consider including bringing in several players and the dismissal of Allegri.
They currently need to save money because this is one way for them to still be able to maintain their financial condition.

This they have to do especially with their current state of being reviled even by their own fans and expecting Allegri to be replaced.
At least they have to bring points in this match because otherwise this will surely be another target of anger for Juventus.
They are now faced with a difficult situation so inevitably and in any way they have to get points in this match.

[TopT3ns]

I think so , Inter are currently motivated by their win in the champions league after all the morale of the players will definitely increase
Sassuolo are also not a strong team even though they are 1 place above Inter but Inter deserve to be favorites with various considerations.

Sassuolo and Inter have the same points in the table, Sassuolo is one place above Inter because their goal productivity is better. The winning spirit that Inter just got from Barcelona in the UCL makes Inter players highly motivated to repeat their success from Sassuolo. Inter, who had dropped points in the previous match when they were beaten by AS Roma, will try to rise to improve their ranking in the standings, on paper Inter are able to beat Sassuolo. But if Inter are not able to play solidly, Inter must be prepared for the worst.

Barcelona and Sassuolo are on different levels, so Inter Milan will feel less pressure than against Barcelona. But can't guarantee that their opponents who lost to Barcelona now will be easy to beat, they can lose again in this match. They have to do their best in this match in order to get 3 more points to boost their morale. The valuable capital they brought from the Champions League could hopefully be a turning point for their revival.

Finally the match between Inter Milan and Barcelona ended 1-0 and was won by Inter Milan, with a tight guard against Robert Lewandowski which finally made him unable to get the ball well so Barcelona was difficult to score, at least this is a good development by Inter Milan because can beat Barcelona.

Injured is a factor that reduced Juventus' performance. And I also expected Dimaria to play in San Siro tomorrow, but he's still being punished after getting a red card by hit Monza player. with this situation, Allegri is very confusing how to mix the scheme. He was  looking to find their performance team after getting a win in the last match and now, fans have expected their team got the winner again to gain points and return to the top stand. The draw is possible, but the winning leaning toward Milan.

[X-ray]

If Juventus is going to win anything this season, the coach needs to sign one midfielder who is a good playmaker to the midfield. Without such a player, the team will struggle this year. Di Maria was the greatest motivator of the Juventus team yesterday. Di Maria received the player of the match award, which he deserved because of his stellar performance and three crucial assists.

Juventus lacks players with high mentality who also have high creativity when controlling the flow of the game. That can't be separated from their failure because they didn't bring in the person they needed, yes I think they failed in the last transfer market. Monotonous, that's what I've seen from some of their games, there's nothing I can expect from them when they play football like that. Releasing old players and bringing in new players who until now have not been able to make a major contribution to the team.

Juventus is always performing so bad. At least this team win in the last match. The performance from juventus is seria a was very bad compared when juventus in the champion league. It seems like that juventus is starting to wake up again. I do believe if juventus will get a good result against ac milan. Acmilan has been showing the worst performance against chelsea unlike juventus which was winning in the last match. I think that juventus will be getting full points.
I hope that juventus can win against ac milan with huge score.

[Sebas.tian]

Try to find the leak at Juventus, that is not an easy task. Where exactly is the problem? It's not that they don't have good players. with this team you should just become champion or at least finish in the top 3 without any problems. Unfortunately, you could only draw 1 conclusion and that would be that the trainer has not got things right. But to fire him now? That is a possibility, but then you also have to look for a good trainer in the very short term. I think that's a big problem.

I think, Juventus coach need to use those potential players that are good in first half to start the match so that they will create more opportunities for other potential players that know how to achieve goals in the second half. If Juventus coach can apply this new strategy in their next match, no doubt they will definitely win their next match to improve their points and to save their coach job. Juventus really demonstrated well in last season that made their fans to believed that they will definitely win this season title base on their performance in last season but this season performance is too low for them to achieve this Italian league title.

Chelsea won that game home and it was important for them. Milan unfortunately didn't succeed and their chances to pass this stage in this group aren't affected since the difference between them and the first place (Salzburg) is only 1 point. They have to win the remaining games to pass or win 2 and wait for Chelsea to lose and get a draw.
Now in Serie A, Milan is favourite against Juve and they shouldn't lose, otherwise the gap will increase..

In Milan match against Juventus which will take place on October 8, Milan has a very high potential to get a win, so far Juventus has not looked good in every match, but this is the first phase in this match after a long break, maybe Juventus have a new strategy and had been prepared for the match against Milan.

The game between Milan and Chelsea will take place on Tuesday, October 11.
In Saturday October 8, Milan will face Juventus and Chelsea will face Wolves. It is clear which one has a tough time here
The other thing is that Milan and Chelsea have close odds but chances are a little higher for Chelsea next Tuesday.

It's caused by bookmakers were taking the result from last match. Yeah milan will be playing at home but winning against juventus is a must caused by it can boost mentality from the players. The worst result will destroy the mentality from players before it will against chelsea on the upcoming match in the champion league. I think this will become a difficult time for milan. That's pretty interesting to see what will be the result from milan against juventus. I thought if this will become a tough game for both of clubs
Both teams are still under performances but juventus is quite better than ac milan

Releasing old players and bringing in new players who until now have not been able to make a major contribution to the team.

The main problem of Juventus at this point are the injuries.
Their 3 best players haven't basically played yet (Chiesa Pogba and Di Maria), and the rest of the team also got a lot of problems.
They just added more coaches for the preparation.

That certainly influenced a lot, but consider that the squad is tight (due to little money)
They have so little money that they keep the current manager
Juventus are playing in an emergency in practice
it happens, it's not unusual, you just need to understand certain dynamics
in fact the journalists instead of blaming Juventus, why not blame Inter, what excuses do Inter have?

There is no doubt that Juventus is the unluckiest team in the Italian League this year. Last season, the team suffered from this injury problem, and this season they have the same issue. A lack of money is another problem that needs to be addressed. They did not have enough money and that is the reason why they brought Pogba, di Maria, into the team. But the harsh reality is that both of them got injured. At this point, I don't think relieving the coach of his duty is going to do any good.

Allegri by the way, should not take this opportunity for granted. In order for him to achieve better results, he should always be looking for new ways to do so. I know it is going to be really challenging. It would take him some time to start bringing in respectable results with this team, but he will need to do that somehow.

A good strategy by intermilan. It seems like inter will be using the same strategy once it will meet barcelona again in the next leg. I do believe if inter may get the second position and then barcelona in the third position.
It seems like strategy that used by intermilan is very effective to prevent ball to go to the lewandowski. That's very impressive to see that. I think barcelona is always feeling so difficult when it was facing a defensive team.
Inter has been getting more chance to go to next round.

It seems that at this moment there are no wins on paper and even though Inter previously won in the Champions League and managed to beat Barcelona, I still don't believe Inter will be able to continue that win away against Sassuolo. Because so far Inter look unconvincing when playing away, moreover Sassuolo is above Inter in fact it's not about the number of goals that are many, but Sassuolo have conceded a few. Therefore, it means that Sassuolo at this moment has a good defense and of course, even though Inter play attacking it looks like Inter will still find it difficult to penetrate the Sassuolo defense.

The Inter defense had a good strategy to stop the ball before Lewandowski took possession. even when Lewandoski got the ball, the Inter players gave a tight press. even with tough tackles.
In that match, we saw how Inter's strength dampened the dominance of Barcelona. Xavi may run out of ways to undermine the Inter defense.
before facing Barca again, Inter must focus on the match against Sassuolo. it will also not be easy for Inter if they have to face Sassuolo. Sassuolo also held Milan to a goalless draw.

At least Barcelona's strategy of always relying on Lewandowski has been read by many big clubs, Xavi must think harder to form a new strategy so that other attackers participate to score goals because Lewandowski has difficulty scoring goals when many opposing players are in charge of preventing him from getting the ball.

If you look at Sassuolo's games, it's obvious that they are a weak team - they have only scored one point in games against strong teams - Juventus, Milan and Udinese. All victories are over obvious outsiders (except Torino) - Lecce and Salernitana. And more draws with weak teams - Spezia and Cremonese. It is obvious to me that Inter, even in preparation for the second leg with Barcelona, will beat them without any problems.

They always dominate in almost every one of their matches, but their aim is only on one player up front. It made it easier for the opponent to read the direction of their attack, so Inter Milan could anticipate every attack launched by Barcelona and it was very successful. Now in Serie A their opponents are not like Barcelona who always dominate the game, of course it looks easier. They can use this to win the game. But there is one thing they have to be aware of because Sassuolo's strategy is different to Barcelona's maybe it will make a difference.

Inter must win this match no matter what because apart from keeping hope for a return to the title circulation, they also have to maintain the mentality and confidence of their players to face Barcelona in their second meeting in the Champions League.
Technically it will be easy but sometimes Inter's performance in Serie A is difficult to predict and they also lost in the second meeting last season although from all H2H they can be said to be able to overcome Sasuolo.

Your suggestion I think is also true because when many opposing players have been able to prevent Lewandowski from getting the ball, then it becomes an obstacle for Barcelona to score more goals because Barcelona rely more on Lewandowski in the striker line. So it's clear Xavi needs to change his tactics so his opponents can't read the movements of Barcelona's players in every game.

[poldanmig]

There is no doubt that Allegri is trying his best to improve the performance of the team in every possible way. Honestly, it is very difficult to do anything if all the players of the team are not available because of injuries which are preventing them from playing. It is important to keep in mind that injuries are something that cannot be prepared for before the season even starts.

Juventus is going to play Milan in the next match. I will be very interested to see how Juventus will perform against Milan. I really want Juventus to win this match. But if you ask me if Juventus is going to win this match or not, I will have to say that I have my doubts. But Milan is also not doing very well this season. So that is going to be a plus point for Juventus. I am interested to see which players Allegri decides to play in this match.

This they have to do especially with their current state of being reviled even by their own fans and expecting Allegri to be replaced.
At least they have to bring points in this match because otherwise this will surely be another target of anger for Juventus.
They are now faced with a difficult situation so inevitably and in any way they have to get points in this match.

Allegri position is indeed quite threatened at this time at Juventus and even many fans have asked management to evaluate, but it seems that management still really trusts Allegri to train the Juve squad until his contract expires, the lack of creativity in the midfield I think is the current obstacle for Juventus in every attack which they have built, besides that maybe the ancient tactics used by Allegri so far at Juventus may also be the reason for other teams to beat Juventus too easily, the length of time Allegri has coach at Juventus and the absence of a change in scheme allows the opposing team to know every weakness that exists in every juventus game.

[Swordsoffreedom]

So it's clear Xavi needs to change his tactics so his opponents can't read the movements of Barcelona's players in every game.

Barcelona's attack may now be more dependent on Lewandowski. Because he is the most experienced player in Barcelona's attack. But Dembele and Raphinha are talented enough. Even if Lewandowski doesn't play well in any match, Raphinha and Dembele have the ability to bring victory to Barcelona. But I agree with you that Xavi needs to develop an alternative strategy. If the team becomes too dependent on Lewandowski, they will face problems in the future.
