Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[nara1892]

Napoli could not reflect the expected game against Empoli on the field but with the winning habit it caught it reached the victory again. On the other hand, Udinese added a new one to their draw in Spezia's away game. They have not won for six games but they have a draw in five games in this bad series. With their stubborn nature they always have the potential to cause problems for big teams. They can surprise the Napoli team which is a bit relaxed. The fact that Napoli are effective in the goal ways increases the possibility of more than one goal in the match.

Victory was enough for Napoli to add to the difference in points they accumulated from the team chasing them in the table. Overall their game last week against Empoli I can say it was still good, but maybe there was a difference where they couldn't take more chances. They had 18 shots but only a few were on target, I think that's one of the things that set them apart in this game. But overall they have no serious problems. The 8 points difference they have now will keep them comfortable for a while. The work they have to think about is how to maintain the appearance they have shown so far.

While Napoli were in the lead with 38 points after 14 matches, the race for second place got very hot.  For now, Lazio is in second place with 30 points and Milan is in third place with 30 points.  There is only 4 points difference between 7th place Roma and second place Lazio.  Napoli leads the race alone.  Serie A is in such a position that anything can happen for second place.

Empoli start to playing very good football this season. Past season they played really poor football but this this their team combination is outstanding. They are so much improving match by match.Today Empoli vs Cremonese. I hope Empoli will win easily. Cz Empoli is more strong team than Cremonese in italian Leaugue (Seria-A).What do you think, who can win this match?

[samuraijin]

Juventus can continue their winning streak when they take on Lazio this week, the game against Lazio is the last game before the world cup break and Juventus can close it with an impressive streak of results. but lazio is not a weak opponent because they can put great pressure on Juventus because Lazio's performance this season is quite consistent with bagging 9 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats which makes lazio able to sit in 2nd place in the standings. Allegri praised the Juventus players who were able to perform consistently in the last five matches which made Juventus slowly become a threat to the teams above it.

The 5 wins that Juventus managed to get in the last 5 matches was not a stroke of luck. but indeed because Juventus is now gradually improving. Even though they started the season badly. but it seems that now Juventus are starting to get their best game. And against Lazio in the next match will indeed be the toughest match for Juventus. But I'm pretty sure of Juventus' advantage in that match. as long as Juventus can maintain the consistency of their best game.

Juventus' ranking has gone up. Now it's in the Champions League zone.
but I saw Juventus versus Verona struggling, there was a smell of luck that this team could win too, as a result of Allegri's unclear tactics, after winning by one goal he piled up players at the back, letting Verona come and press the team's defense, this is why I don't like it Allegri, for his unclear and overly pragmatic tactics.

Juventus and Lazio will meet in week 15, because the difference is only 2 points adrift of Lazio and AC Milan, at least Juventus must win the match, in order to move up to 2nd place in Serie A, of course the tactics applied to the match against Verona, can So Massimiliano Allegri's strategy is to lower the tempo of their game in terms of maintaining the physicality of all teams, so that when the match against Lazio all players are really ready and fit, maybe it's just my speculation in responding to yesterday's match..


If we talk about Massimiliano Allegri's tactics from before, it's actually very much different where the Juventus players still have players who already have flying hours, in contrast to the current Juventus players, Massimiliano Allegri is required to rely on the Young players, to replace the playing positions of players who suffered an Injury, that's why, Massimiliano Allegri often changes formations, in order to see which player is more suitable to be placed in the position that the player should be in, because it is not easy to build a team with almost 100% improvement, which is done current management of Juventus..

Empoli team has a chance to improve their stand on the table when they face one of the relegation zone teams cremonese, its a home game so they are obviously the favourite but their opponent couldn't be beaten in the last 3 rounds, neither udinese nor milan could do it so it will probably be a tight game but still the odds for empoli are quite high so i think its worth it.

[Jody.Drummer]

Empoli vs Cremonese, judging from the history of their meeting, there is actually nothing impressive from either club because they end the match more with draws, only Empoli are slightly ahead of Cremones. But now, of course, it's a different situation, with Empoli performing better in Serie A than Cremones and until now Cremonese haven't tasted victory once. Empolo in their last 5 matches recorded 2 wins and 3 losses, while Cremonese with 1 loss and 4 draws and must occupy the 18th position in the standings.
This is a home game for Empoli, so it will be a great opportunity for them to win and improve the standings which are currently in 14th position with 14 points.

[Vinaa77]

Will it be Udinese to stop Napoli's unbeaten streak in an away game? I assume not.

Of course Napoli will start the match easily against Udinese. Considering that Napoli are the only club that has not been defeated in 14 Serie A matches. The players are also still very complete, with very good player performances.

Udinese can only draw against Spezia. This shows a poor performance for Udinese, because Spezia is a bottom club that is almost relegated.
I don't think it's right for Udinese to break Napoli's unbeaten record. Maybe it will be done by Roma, Juventus or Inter in the next matches.

Juventus is still holding on pretty well in the league and how bad they started the season and with how many injuries they had this is the best possible position for them. They are still in the title race and i dont think that Napoli can win all the matches this season their form must come down soon

[Iranus]

Juventus got what they wanted from their Verona match by a 1-0 victory. However their general performance didn't impress me at all. They still lack in defense and offense both but this is mostly related to their having so many missing players. There are some important players among them such as Vlahovic for example. This was normally a match that Juventus could have won by a bigger goal difference.

Anyway they are on a five-win streak as of now. Things are going very good for Juventus in the league and the board must be happy with Allegri's management here at least. Allegri doesn't have much choice than being successful in the league though. After that poor performance in the Champions League he can redeem himself by doing good in the Serie A. The Europa League matches are also going to start later on and I'm pretty sure that he will be expected to do a good job there as well.

The performance of Juventas was not convincing at all. They missed a lot of chances and they almost conceded as well. They are getting really lucky. The way they played in that last match they did not deserve to win. But anyway it’s good that they are winning. But I believe that they are not going to be lucky for much longer. Their luck is going to run out sooner or later.

However, I think this is going to have one positive outcome which is Allegri staying for now, as Juventus is showing positive results at the moment. In addition to that, what is also important to mention is the fact that Juventus are in fourth place right now following some encouraging results. So, they will have to keep winning, no matter how.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Sassoulo can trouble Napoli in this match and I believe this match will end in a win for Sassoulo. I don't care about Napoli chances of winning this match even if some betting houses are in their favour. Sassoulo can play more aggressively in this match, they will certainly go down with the perfect squad, especially since Lauriente will certainly be able to complicate the Napoli defense. indeed Napoli are unbeaten in Serie A this season which has kept them firmly at the top of the table but I don't believe they will be able to maintain their winning streak against Sassoulo later. maybe a small score will happen in this match and i hope my bet for sassoulo really works in this match.

I don't think Napoli will make a mistake in this match. They are not in a position to lose at the moment. They are very disciplined as a team. This discipline will be the biggest source of strength on the way to the championship for the city of Naples. I'm sorry, but it looks like you won't win the bet.

I like what Google+ did. He was enough brave to break all assumptions, He doesn't care about Napoli's stat where always win in the last 13 matches, and He doesn't care also about Napoli's odds. I make a brave step the same as he did on the sportsbook this week, I choose a weak club to win, I know the club is not always winning, but I am afraid either if Napoli creates win 14th tonight.

Well not only Napoli, I have been watching Serie A well, and it is still difficult for me to understand that Italy with all its good football are not in the World Cup, however when I look at teams that for many are weak like Sassuolo, no It is not weak at all for me, they are teams where their players are not yet clear or do not have that winning mentality, and that is what makes them stop, when they see the Napoli players how they play, they do it as if they were playing on the street, they do it so normally that they get to the point of having fun and I think that's the key for them to get results, Sassuolo needs victory, but they not only here but always have to have that hunger for victory.

Today big match Lazio vs Monza.My prediction goes to Lazio.Cz lazio started to playing very well this season. And now they are top 3 in Italian Leaugue Seria A.But i think both score will be happened in this match.If Monza weak than Lazio but they also playing very good football last couples of matches.What do you think who will win?

Lazio won the game perfectly with luke romero who has been making a goal. It's good to see that my take on lazio has been right. Lazio is a ahead of ac milan right now with same points. Im sure that lazio will be finished in the second or third position.
Monza is performing so good during the match. Monza has been dominating the match with very good ball possession but this team has 0 shots on targe which proves if lazio's defensive was doing their job pretty well.
A very important points for lazio already secured perfectly. Im gonna wait for the next match against juventus. It will be very hard to predict. I prefer to take juventus in the upcoming match

Well I agree with you, the truth is Lazio has been playing wonderfully and it is a team that has grown and will continue to grow a lot, for me the players are very clear about their positions and the technical director has put them as they are, they do their job very well and the most important thing is that they play as a team and complement each other, I don't see individualities like that in a team when there are famous stars, here everyone plays very well and I see that union, maybe that's why they've done so well.

Regarding the game with Juve, I really want Juve to win, honestly I don't see Juve raising their heads, I see them very slow, I see them badly, and it's time for them to start showing why they are one of the best teams in Italy.

Although Allegri is happy, I think they should win the other games that come to them, they can no longer fail, here Allegri expressed his joy:

Allegri: We must be satisfied, but don’t look at the table yet

    “It certainly wasn’t a great performance, but we know that against these teams who are very aggressive, we have to take a different approach. We could’ve done better in certain situations, but it’s already important that the lads recognised what attitude to take.

    “It has been a tough time with many players out of action, the substitutes allowed us to get some fresh legs in. I congratulate the lads on the way they approached this game.”

They clearly see Lazio as one of the toughest games they have left, then they have until February to start, it's not bad at all, but if they get this victory against Lazio it will boost their morale and there is nothing better than going to spend the weekend of the year with a winning streak, I think that's what Allegri wants and longs for.

Juventus got what they wanted from their Verona match by a 1-0 victory. However their general performance didn't impress me at all. They still lack in defense and offense both but this is mostly related to their having so many missing players. There are some important players among them such as Vlahovic for example.

In addition to that, what is also important to mention is the fact that Juventus are in fourth place right now following some encouraging results. So, they will have to keep winning, no matter how.

Well, the truth is, yes, it's like you say, it's something very optimistic, in fact that's something excellent for the moment you're living there, but as before and not only you say it, but also anyone who likes football can notice that Juve has lowered the level a lot, and that is something very bad, a 4th place is not worthy for Juve, Juve should at least be in 2nd place, I know that it is a lot to ask because the level of the other teams is very high, but judging by the history of Juve they should do something very good, and thus be able to convince others, the fans usually expect a lot from them and they have not responded as it is, that's what I mean.

[snipie]

While Napoli were in the lead with 38 points after 14 matches, the race for second place got very hot.  For now, Lazio is in second place with 30 points and Milan is in third place with 30 points.  There is only 4 points difference between 7th place Roma and second place Lazio.  Napoli leads the race alone.  Serie A is in such a position that anything can happen for second place.

Even the first place isn't guaranteed since Napoli has a bad history of dropping points after being in the first rank, well this year is quite different since their attack line is very effective. It is good to see them playing like that.
Lazio will play vs Juve in this round, Atalanta vs Inter, Milan and Roma have challenging games too so the ranking might heavily change before the international break!

[Sandra_hakeem]

I keep wondering what has happened to the original gameplay of this club, Juventus.
Allegri has made a resounding legacy, something he wouldn't dare to tarnish by his debut to the most relying team in the Italian series. Juventus haven't badly been coached by allegri, atleast not in my view; AFAIK, this is something he's tried and won the serial A trophy 5 good times and that wasn't just a test of potentials, it was the real, calculated logic by allegri that got 'em further. So I don't seem to understand a reason why those nay-sayers would acclaim Allegra as an "incompetent" coach, just for the fact that a team lost it fine form. If Juventus can make good use of the next transfer window, then they'll tend to closeup those loopholes.

I think Lazio are quite confident in securing the second position of the Serie A standings, because they are still able to stay in the top three of Serie A after half a season has pass.
While Milan, which is one of Lazio's main rivals, has increased position in the standings since the last few weeks, because at the start of the season Milan look difficult to return to the top position of the Serie A standings.
So far I still believe Lazio will stay at least in the top 4 of Serie A until the end of the season

[CLS63]

There is still a long season ahead of course. However Milan don't seem like they are able to keep up with Napoli this season. The point gap is already 8 points now. As they are the last champions I would expect more than this from them. They should put a big effort into the season to be able to retain their title.

Napoli are obviously the biggest favourite for the title but I would still like to see a good challenge for the league title. Nobody would like to see Napoli dominating the season and finishing it early I assume. I still see Milan as the only team that can compete with them for it. I don't think Lazio or Atalanta can keep up a good effort until the end of the season. Juventus are getting better but I still don't see them more likely than Milan. It is the same for Inter as well.

[Bobrox]

Well, the truth is, yes, it's like you say, it's something very optimistic, in fact that's something excellent for the moment you're living there, but as before and not only you say it, but also anyone who likes football can notice that Juve has lowered the level a lot, and that is something very bad, a 4th place is not worthy for Juve, Juve should at least be in 2nd place, I know that it is a lot to ask because the level of the other teams is very high, but judging by the history of Juve they should do something very good, and thus be able to convince others, the fans usually expect a lot from them and they have not responded as it is, that's what I mean.

Actually Juventus back to 4th standing place right now and have chance securing second position standing before international break out, next match opponent Lazio is opportunity for Juventus securing 2nd position if three points achievement. Juventus have slowly back to winning trend after poor started at domestic league and have been eliminated from Champion League. Juventus have waiting with other match result between Fiorentina vs Milan if want securing 2nd standing.

Next opponent Lazio is not easy team to beat because have quite well perform lately, last two won from last two matches make Lazio more confidence against Juventus and have the same opportunity securing 2nd standing position if three points achievement.

some quite exciting matches that will take place this week where AC milan will face Fiorentina and Intermilan will face atalanta and no less exciting is juventus vs lazio which will be a big stage to close the league ahead of the world cup. I think AC Milan will be a little difficult to win this match because their opponent is a tough team with a pretty good trend in the previous 3 matches. atalanta vs intermilan will also be quite an interesting match because atalanta want to get out of the bad run of results in their last two matches but intermilan is a team that is quite difficult to beat by atalanta. I predict many surprises that will happen to the standings table.

[Zackgeno96]

Atalanta seems to be one of the big losers of the first half of the season. They were still reasonably in the footsteps of Napoli along with AC Milan but have now lost a few games, and then you fall back hard. 11 points behind Napoli no less than at the moment. It is unworthy of Sampdoria club to have to play against relegation in 17th place. The first 7 teams in the ranking are also the best teams in Italy and are also the only ones that can still participate at an acceptable level in Europe. Amazing that Napoli still hasn't lost a single game at the moment. Most goals for and fewest goals against. Then you're not doing a lot of things wrong.

Napoli could not reflect the expected game against Empoli on the field but with the winning habit it caught it reached the victory again. On the other hand, Udinese added a new one to their draw in Spezia's away game. They have not won for six games but they have a draw in five games in this bad series. With their stubborn nature they always have the potential to cause problems for big teams. They can surprise the Napoli team which is a bit relaxed. The fact that Napoli are effective in the goal ways increases the possibility of more than one goal in the match.

Napoli were unable to show their class and qualify against Empoli in the last game. Udinese game also ended in a draw with both teams sharing two points (one point each)  the always have the fighting spirit to contest against tough teams but find it difficult to win. This draw was eventually one draw added to their list of draws this season. They could be tough opponents for Napoli but Napoli have a scoring ability which gives them upper hand over their opponents.

[Pokapoka124]

According to statistics Lazio have not gotten even a win in their last five meetings with Juventus and this time might not be any different because with Juventus current form they have better probability of winning the game although noth teams bagged wins in their last fixture. Juventus need to win this game to move up to second position if Ac Milan get to lose their game so I believe that will be the target of the day for Juventus to get all three points from the match to move up or lessen the gap with the top teams.
