Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

Chiesa call has been delayed once again.

He will not be called for the evening game tomorrow between Juventus and Empoli.

I read some news that said that Allegri wanted to see Chiesa's performance in the youth team before making sure he could play with Juventus.
This is clearly an action after he was injured for a long time but in my opinion this is very unfortunate because indeed Chiesa's appearance has been eagerly awaited, especially for them this season, especially with the current condition of Juventus, Chiesa is one player who can be a very good option to change their performance.

Juventus are obviously the certain favourite team to win the Empoli match. Actually there isn't much point gap between them at the moment. It is only five now. Juventus even lost their last home match against Empoli as well. Juventus are newly recovering at the same time. However bookies have opened a quite low odd like 1.41 for Juventus to win anyway.

Frankly I don't expect Juventus to make a point loss in this match. I don't expect a one-sided match above all else. They struggled against Torino despite the win and it might be the same against Empoli also. Therefore I expect a win like 1-0 or 2-1. Maybe it wouldn't be a comfortable win but Juventus still need to have a lasting winning streak to bring back their old times. If they still continue to lose many points then they can't even finish the season in top 4.

I also expected Juventus to win this match but the problem is they are not in good form at all. I really don't know if they will be able to take all the points from this match. They have not shown that type of performance currently in my opinion.

I understand that they are going to be the favorite in this match. But I am just not 100% confident that Juventus will be able to come away with all three points. If they do not improve their gameplay they will not be able to finish in the top 4. And which is quite frankly a long way away from them. Currently, there is a 6-point difference between Roma and Juventus. But the goal difference is favorable for Juventus compared to Empoli. I think Juventus should play aggressively in this match.

Your concern about Juventus has obvious reasons, as they are in a bad situation at the moment. Indeed, Juventus' opponent is not better than Juventus, but it still leaves Empoli's chances in this match wide open to gain 1 point or even beat Juventus.
The other match is the AS Roma vs Napoili match, this will be an interesting one.

Football is not a profitable business to run for short term, you do not make profit year ot year, and you do not get an income from it. Football is a profitable business for 2 reasons, first of all you buy a club for cheap, and sell it for more later on, like do you think Inter was worth 1 billion dollars 10 years ago? Of course not, which means clubs get more expensive overtime.

What owners need to do is make sure that they are not spending that much money to make their gains become loses because of money spent. Secondly it's good business because it gives you reputation and ways to network, buying Inter means it could open doors to more business for you, plus gain a lot of tax breaks for spending that much, and many other businesses stuff related to buying a club, but not directly from it.

Tomorrow night have several match as opening Serie A matchday 11, Juventus have chance continue quite good performance after won last match. Empoli is not weak team after last match won from Monza and right now at 11th standings position. Juventus facing problem because not only at domestic league have to win but also after games with Empoli have important match at Champion League and winning is the only one decision if want exist at Champion League.

There are possibility for Juventus use second player composition against with Empoli, but I don't expected with Juventus want to loss points anymore at domestic league after left many points behind top standings awhile Napoli.

Football requires a very long process to build it but the capital used is also very high because you have to see also that all development requires money capital including buying great players, after that build a good reputation by often getting wins in every game even can get a win in the Champions League or something, if we talk about the flow like this it will look easy, but in reality it is very difficult to get because at the moment Inter and some other clubs are very expensive.

Despite being seeded, Napoli must be wary of AS Roma. In this match, Jose Mourinho is certainly very determined to break the chain of victories that have been achieved by Napoli. Chris Smalling will certainly take advantage of the advantage as the host to pick full points.

Although Napoli are in quite good shape following an unbeaten result, AS Roma cannot be considered weak, Jose Mourinho is building Roma's strength to be better this season, but on the other hand taking advantage of opportunities as hosts, not enough influence, and producing positive things , considering the arrival of Napoli to the Stadio Olimpico with high confidence, victories with Bologna, Ajax and Cremonese are enough to be capital for Napoli at this time.

Looking at Napoli's performance now it's actually still getting better for them but sometimes the problem is that in the next few weeks it's clear it will be a tough game for them.
for their next 5 matches, there are at least 3 clubs that are a scourge for them at this time, namely Roma, Atalanta for Serie A and Liverpool for the Champions League.

I actually still believe for them to face Roma regardless of Roma's performance and of course it will be a bit of a hassle but I'm sure they will win, but the problem is the game after, whether they are able to beat all the big games that will happen after this makes me not too sure .

Roma is currently sneaking up its way in the table and it is very typical for Mourinho. They score 1.3 goals per game as of now and still take the games homes.

I am mentioning that because I would agree that in most games Napoli might be a bit of a favorite, but this is a home game, the fans are nice and if Roma manages to take the lead it is currently difficult against them to turn it around. They often play these one goal difference games because of Mourinho. That is why I think that the first goal will play a big role. Roma isn't the team that starts fireworks usually, but when they have to attack because they fell behind against Napoli, it will be close to impossible for them to turn it around. Should Roma keep a clean sheet for a long while during the game or even better from their perspective, take the lead, I believe it is going to be a really tough game for Napoli. Mourinho's teams can play very destructive soccer in terms of game dynamics etc. while Napoli loves these dynamics.

I think Juventus should play aggressively in this match.

I heard Pogba and Chiesa had training in continasa last week ago, It looks possible that Allegri give them an opportunity to play against Empoli, but too much risk I think. Pogba will be very important to filling up a weak position on center, while Chiesa will supply from the wing, so if both are available next week, Empoli will face big problem.

[Bitinity]

He will not be called for the evening game tomorrow between Juventus and Empoli.

Although many fans want to see him come back as soon as possible to make a good impact for Juventus, it is always better if Juventus does not take a big risk to force him to play. Letting him to be fully recovered first is the best option to do to avoid a new problem from his long injury. I also believe that Chiesa want to come back as soon as possible because he has been inactive for long time. Once he comes back, people should not expect to much because he may not play 100% for several matches till he find his best back.

We have been talking about Chiesa and Pogba returning for so long that they have become a sort of myth to inspire us. Seeing them train on the pitch with the others is strange. The expectations of some many football fans for them now are very high that no matter what they do, many might be disappointed. We hope they are fit and their return will boost the team's performance.

Honestly I saw this news very shocked whether it was true or it was just a rumor, news from Italian Football that Inter Milan owner Steven Zhang decided to sell Inter Milan and offered Raine Groub for €1 billion for the club.


According to The Financial Times, Inter have given a mandate to Raine Group, a US investment bank and Goldman Sachs to find a buyer for the club.

The Zhang family reportedly want €1bn for the club.

Raine Group recently acted as an advisor for Todd Boehly’s Chelsea takeover.

SportMediaset are reporting 3 groups interested in buying Inter:

- An American group led by Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry
- A fund from the UAE
- Ernesto Bertarelli, the richest man in Switzerland

It seems that was true  and it's not only a rumour. I hope that inter will be acquired by a group from UAE. As far as i know that if UAE was interesting to acquiring intermilan as it has been acquiring newcastle which has been played in premier league right now.
Im feeling doubt about another party other than UAE. We do know that how UAE was full with so many crazy rich billionaire, so many people know correctly about the reputation from UAE.
They were always giving so many funding to keep the club become the best like what happened with PSG and city

Unfortunately until now, no investors from the UAE have looked at Italian clubs, although I know that this rumor has been around for a long time but only recently emerged, and directly from their president Steven Zhang's family who stated this.

There is a possibility that Italian clubs are still question marks regarding match fixing, although this is just my speculation, at least that has happened to Juventus with the Caciopoli case.

Maybe that's one obstacle why people from the UAE don't want to look at clubs from Italy, because the fixing of the score in the Italian League Serie A is still thick, when talking about money problems, people from the middle east are not likely to buy some shares of clubs from Italy, but in fact there is not a single club owned by the UAE people..

I suspected that sooner or later Zang was selling Inter
for many reasons
- it is not a profitable business, on the contrary it is an endless pit
- to fix some things you have to destroy society

I am very sorry for the Inter fans

This is just my speculation about Inter Milan, maybe this is also not a rumor that exists at this time, even this has been a problem from year to year regarding, the issue of ownership of the San Siro Stadium which until now, is still being debated by both, and the Milan government added. at this time states that they have rights that the San Siro Stadium is owned by the government of Milan, it can be linked to the current owner of Inter Milan, Steven Zhang, who says he will sell Inter Milan, maybe this is one of the triggers for the sale of Inter Milan.

Maybe you've all heard of the issue of ownership rights to the San Siro Stadium ..!!

Pogba will be very important to filling up a weak position on center, while Chiesa will supply from the wing, so if both are available next week, Empoli will face big problem.

I think, Pogba and Chiesa can make the match change positively to the favour of Juventus in next week match, because Juventus seriously face the challenge of defense and midfield last few matches, which Pogba is very good to handle the midfield very well to allow their potential strikers to achieve early goals on time. I don't think, Juventus will miss their points in this match because their coach has worked on their defense and midfield to start improving so that people will believe that they can still make it to embrace this Italian league title before the end of the tournament. No doubt, this two players that just recovered from injury will definitely make Juventus to defeat Empoli 3-1 for the favour of Juventus in their next match..

Expecting too much from players who just recently recovered from injuries is too much and somewhat unrealistic. They need time to increase their fitness again, slowly and gradually with training and with gradual increasing playing time in real matches. Sometimes, they can have almost instant impressive comebacks but sometimes they will need a few weeks or a few months to return to their best.

I don't think, Juventus will miss their points in this match because their coach has worked on their defense and midfield to start improving so that people will believe that they can still make it to embrace this Italian league title before the end of the tournament. No doubt, this two players that just recovered from injury will definitely make Juventus to defeat Empoli 3-1 for the favour of Juventus in their next match..

Empoli looks like not a too tough opponent for Juventus and they can win the match. But I am thinking of some challenging fighting from Empoli in the match. Juventus will have to play seriously and they will fluctuate from good to bad with challenge from Empoli in the match. However at the end, I believe they will manage to get three points from Empoli.

It will be helpful for Juventus no matter how difficult they can collect three points each match in this crisis period.

It's worth waiting for Pogba's return to the Juventus squad from post-injury for the match against Empoli, Talking about whether or not Chiesa will be fielded in the match later, to host Empoli, I don't think it's time for Chiesa to be played in the upcoming match, because I'm afraid it will make The return of Chiesa's injury, I'm sure Coach Massimiliano Allegri knows very well when to play both of them and of course Massimiliano Allegri will not field Chiesa and Pogba as starters in the Empoli match later, Massimiliano Allegri will first see the conditions on the field after that the possibility of them both will be lowered, in the second half if the two players are really ready to compete...

For Score maybe 2-0 for Juventus win !!

Juventus must win this match. Three important points for the Bianconeri to try to improve their position in the standings, Juventus also needs to build momentum before facing host Benfica in the Champions League in midweek.

The hosts are certainly very favored, but even so, the inconsistency shown makes Juventus still prone to slipping in the match later. Moreover, Empoli is not an opponent to be underestimated.

Chiesa and Pogba are very important to feature in the game as I know fully well that Allegri will be happy to start them. If one ask for my opinion, I think Chiesa and Pogba should be substituted in the early 80th minutes of the second half since they're both returning from injury and it's not proper to stress them, because before we know it, they might both return back and this will affect the team. Allegri is not ready to lose his keyplayers this time around as their absence have cost the old lady's major defeats in the Seria A and the UEFEA.

I saw an interesting fact from head to head Roma vs Napoli, in their 8 meetings so far Roma has only won 1 time so I also think that Roma will not be able to win in this match, but Napoli should not underestimate this match either, they must be able to continue to be consistent to win so that their position at the top of the standings is not shifted.

With conditions like this, it is clear that Napoli have very high confidence to be able to continue playing well.
Now with their performance which can be said to be very good in the last few games and with their H2H it looks like odds of 2.42 for Napoli are indeed very tempting to do.
But indeed we cannot rule out Roma this season, especially with Mou's scheme which sometimes gives surprises.

This was same performance Napoli put out last season did they win the tittle
They usually starts dropping off those important points last season once it's a new year
If they maintain same consistency then they can win the tittle

Last season they may have dropped some important points that made them finish third, seven points behind Ac Milan that won the Scudetto, i feel that wouldn't happen to them this season, they are stronger than they were last season and playing with more confidence, both in the seria a and in their champions league group, i feel this season is theirs. They usually come close until the last few weeks, but with the confidence they are playing with now, i feel they are ready to be the third Scudetto champion in the third season in a row, that will be great for the Italian league, and it will make the league the most competitive in Europe.

Napoli has tried many seasons in the past, but just that luck is not on their side, especially when Juventus was very hot and its players playing very good. During those seasons, Napoli did play good and being on the first position, but Juventus later would win the league title. At least if not happen often, I have known like two seasons like that. It would be good if Napoli can start good and maintain it, this season has be started good, I believe Atlanta can not maintain continues perfect performance too, although it is still too young for us to predict what this season will end up being.

Tomorrow night have several match as opening Serie A matchday 11, Juventus have chance continue quite good performance after won last match.

Juventus facing problem because not only at domestic league have to win but also after games with Empoli have important match at Champion League and winning is the only one decision if want exist at Champion League.

Both of teams in the positive results after get wins from their previous matches so this is interesting match to watched but last season Empoli has successfully beat Juventus at their home ground so this proven Empoli is the team who can surprised Juventus and this season Empoli has a habit they were very effective for using counter attack style and from this strategies Empoli has wins the matches several times so Juventus should be careful with Empoli strategy

There are possibility for Juventus use second player composition against with Empoli, but I don't expected with Juventus want to loss points anymore at domestic league after left many points behind top standings awhile Napoli.

It is not wise for Allegri to using his second players composition or reserved players in this match because Juventus has losing so many points from their previous matches so if they want reach to top 4 on standings league Allegri should be used his best starting lineup for each matches
