Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[bering]

I think, Ac Milan players will be very happy to see him back to the team again because they really missed his absence in some matches, which their coach will allow him to train with their players so that there will be improvement after the break. Ibrahimovic is a talented player that know how to assist other players to ensure they achieve goals that will bring victory at the end of the match, which he will definitely showcase his new strategies to prove that he still remain among the talented players in this Italian league competition.

AC Milan are lucky to have one of the best attacker so far in football, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, also he's tag an old man and should retired but he still bounced back to form after severe injuries. He's going to be in form after the world cup as he have already his fans, sooner or later, he will be back on the pitch. AC Milan is one of the tough team in Seria A and their players have a piece of team work. I consider Ibrahimovic as old player who have a lengthy experience in football but he can still do better inother to carry the scudetto once again with Milan, probably not this season but there's still more season for Zlatan to play games.

AC Milan currently didn't lack of forward players that after Ibrahimovic got injured other players such as Divock Origi can playing together with Giroud so although if Ibrahimovic already recovered from his injured probably Milan wouldn't playing him regularly considering his current age but there is other things who makes Ibrahimovic so important for AC Milan that he can be a mentor for younger players and it is confirmed to Milan midfielder players Sandro Tonali that he said Ibrahimovic has successfully changed his mentally personally and can playing under pressure last season and this season Milan has required the players such as Ibrahimovic because they have to compete along with Napoli for race title

[babo]

There is no doubt that Inter Milan's squad is strong. The squad has a lot of talented players. But their weakness is that their players are not performing well regularly, and their match strategy is weak. And so Inter Milan's performance is erratic. However, Inter Milan players have the ability to defeat any strong team. Inter Milan won against Napoli cannot be said. The match will be competitive. It won't be an easy win for Napoli either. However, the performance of Inter Milan's defenders is slightly weaker, so Napoli will have a slight advantage.

I totally agree with you, but the fault is also from the management that pampers the players too much making them feel like gods
In other teams they make it clear, you are a professional, I pay you because you are a professional and you must behave as such
The reasons for his erratic performance are all here, in my opinion.
then of course, it's strong (on paper)

you are right Players need to be more responsible. Inter Milan pays their players huge wages. But still the players are not performing well. This is definitely the failure of the players. Every player at Inter Milan is talented. Fans will certainly expect a more responsive performance from them. However, Inter Milan will face Napoli after a long break. If they can't solve their internal problems then a win against Napoli is impossible.

the absolutely absurd thing is this
they are overpaid and spoiled and this is absolutely not good, if you read "The red little manual of talent" (nice book) based on sport experiences, the schools that churn out talents are RIGID schools where there are STRICT RULES and where you WORK HARD, no vices

It doesn't have to be entirely to blame the players even though they are paid a certain amount, because in terms of building a team to be better, it all has to be included including the coaches and the club's top brass. Because the players also have to follow the direction of the coach and when the strategy from the coach is still very less effective, it is clear that the team's performance will not get better so it would be very unreasonable to blame the blame on the players.

[Marvell1]

The Seria A seems more interesting and entertaining to watch their games. Zlatan Ibrahimovic still fits in the game pattern of AC Milan. He's no longer active as usual, he's been involved in countless injuries over the past seasons and he's still confirming that he will be back to form. Ibrahimovic is one of the top giant frontline the rissoneri have at the moment and they still needs his presence in the team. Let's hope for the best from the Sweden international.

I think, Ac Milan players will be very happy to see him back to the team again because they really missed his absence in some matches, which their coach will allow him to train with their players so that there will be improvement after the break. Ibrahimovic is a talented player that know how to assist other players to ensure they achieve goals that will bring victory at the end of the match, which he will definitely showcase his new strategies to prove that he still remain among the talented players in this Italian league competition.

Sweden is for the most part dependent on Zlatan Ibrahimović. So without him, it is going to be very difficult for Sweden to do well in the World Cup.

And for AC Milan Zlatan Ibrahimović can still play well, because, as you said he fits in the style of that team. I hope that he recovers well after the surgery that he did. It will be hard for him to get back to that type of form which he was in prior to his surgery.

But his playing well is going to help both Sweden and AC Milan to get good results. after this World Cup, and the end of the season, I will expect a quick retirement from him, especially with all the injuries that he had.

[KTChampions]

The way they protect victor Oshime is what amazes me yesterday they didn't allow him to play the friendly match Nigeria played with Portugal, currently he is a big asset they are holding and hoarding those legs of Victor Oshime in a cold wallet.
They will sell him highly if the Napoli club get to win the Seria A this year

On the one hand, if Napoli becomes the champion this season, then all the top clubs in the world will study the composition of Napoli in order to buy some player. On the other hand, Napoli is a much richer club than Ajax and the story that happened to Ajax will not be repeated. But the fact that the brightest stars will be bought, I'm sure. It's hard to say no when an offer is made to you by Liverpool, PSG or Real Madrid.

[makishart]

But on the other hand they also have to prepare for player transfers now and in my opinion Napoli must do their best to hold back some of their players from leaving especially with the good performance some players have now been eyed by big clubs with tempting offers so this could be a problem again for those who have already halfway through playing well.

Napoli will probably give a very high price for its best players so that no club wants to buy it because at this time Napoli managed to get a very extraordinary victory which ultimately made the team very strong. If Napoli want to always get wins, they must maintain the best players so as not to be taken by other clubs.

No doubt. So many teams were always doing it to make sure if he can get lots of money from selling their best players. I meant you can still find so many talented players from another club with huge amounts of money. Napoli bought those players with cheap price and that will give so many benefits once the team will be selling them all with huge amounts of money. The fact that if napoli may consider to put a very high price for its striker as some big clubs have been betting into it.
I guess the competition to get napoli's striker will be very strict next transfer season.

[Slow death]

We are talking about facts now, if indeed Inter's quality is much better, it is impossible for them to be far behind Napoli now.
Napoli are currently in good shape apart from their players they also have more vision so indeed they continue to stay away from the pursuit of other teams and even lead comfortably with a considerable difference (8 points).

Napoli have a very good squad and msny underrated players, i don't think that there is actually any team un Italy can catch theme not just because the gap between them and the second spot is very big but also because the players are so determined to get the missed trophy for Napoli, the serie A became more interesting after many years of Juventus dominance we can finally have some fun

But on the other hand they also have to prepare for player transfers now and in my opinion Napoli must do their best to hold back some of their players from leaving especially with the good performance some players have now been eyed by big clubs with tempting offers so this could be a problem again for those who have already halfway through playing well.

Napoli cannot be greedy, it is very important that the leaders of Napoli do not think about the much money they can receive from selling players, they need to think about winning the series and with that thought they need to prevent any sale of their players, because even selling a single player could destabilize the whole team right now that they are at the top of the table and are very close to winning the serie A, honestly if they sell players then they don't think about the long term and they won't have another great chance to be Serie A champions. The big teams will be watching napoli players and they know very well that by buying good napoli players they are also weakening napoli and increasing their chance of being able to overtake napoli that's why napoli's management needs be smart and don't sell players

I guess the competition to get napoli's striker will be very strict next transfer season.

yes, it can even be really tough, but if napoli's management agrees to sell their players even if they are the highest prices in the world, they are risking losing the chance of being champions and with the money they get they will not be able to buy good players and replace what they sold and have good results in Serie A this season. they probably know this, that's why they shouldn't sell any players if they really want to be serie A champions

[Warkop]

I think, Ac Milan players will be very happy to see him back to the team again because they really missed his absence in some matches, which their coach will allow him to train with their players so that there will be improvement after the break.

I consider Ibrahimovic as old player who have a lengthy experience in football but he can still do better inother to carry the scudetto once again with Milan, probably not this season but there's still more season for Zlatan to play games.

In my opinion, it is too imposing for players of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's class to continue playing matches, at an age that is no longer possible to continue strengthening AC Milan, because AC Milan has never given opportunities for young players to develop, so in my opinion it is too forcing Zlatan Ibrahimovic to play every game. important match, in my opinion he deserves to retire, because Zlatan Ibrahimovic often loses the ball and sacrifices his colleagues to chase the ball, in my opinion it will always be troublesome for his colleagues, talking about winning or not the Scudetto this season, it is very difficult to predict who who will come out as Champion this season, of course that is still a question because all teams are equally strong and still have a chance to win the Scudetto this season...

[arimamib]

Napoli will probably give a very high price for its best players so that no club wants to buy it because at this time Napoli managed to get a very extraordinary victory which ultimately made the team very strong. If Napoli want to always get wins, they must maintain the best players so as not to be taken by other clubs.

Napoli will not let go of their star players when their performance is good because losing one of their mainstay players can affect the team's performance. Napoli must learn from Liverpool, since Mane moved to Bayern Munich, Liverpool attack line has been very difficult to find his best form.

Napoli are on a good run in both Serie A and the Champions League, keeping up form Spalletti will have to do to achieve his goals. The Napoli star player is being targeted by other elite clubs due to his success in bringing Napoli to the top of the standings. Osimhen is very often linked with Real Madrid who want to find a replacement for Benzema, Napoli must not accept any offers that come if they don't want to be like Liverpool fate.

I don't see Udinese as a good team, I think in Serie A only 7 team are really strong has a capabilities to become a champion.
~

Well Udinese isn't a top team but seeing how they performed this season, you know how painful the game vs it is.
Napoli was lucky to not get a draw vs them in the last match. They won vs Roma and Inter, they snatched points from Atalanta and Lazio too. It isn't top but any game vs Udinese should not be underestimated!

There is nothing to be proud of from Udinese this season, there is very little chance for Udinese to break into the top six positions. Serie A, which is very competitive this season, has presented increasing competition in the top six positions. Udinese, which sits in 8th position, is still having trouble improving its ranking because the teams above it are still very consistent. Roma, who are ahead of Udinese, are also still trying to get into the top six, Mourinho's team is still struggling because other teams also have targets to maintain their position.

In other words, if you want to maintain stability in Serie-a permanently, they have to protect good players. But this is an industry, a club that constantly produces good players in Napoli, a club that wants to make money from these players, I cannot describe it as greed, this will happen due to the nature of Football. I would love for them to keep Victor Osimhen in the team, I can more or less predict that this will not happen. Next season City will buy an established club like Barcelona or Real Madrid. I dream that he is in the Real Madrid squad, this player really takes Real Madrid to a different level.

After going through some terrible matches for a while they finally succeeded in second place with a distance of points from the first position which is quite far away, at least they still have time to improve the strength of the team which is tired and must prepare for the match at the start against Arsenal in December later, this is a tough match for Milan because they have to face a very strong team in the first round.

[S A KHAIR]

But unless Napoli maintain a very bad form it is very difficult for any team to catch up with them too much.

The Serie A will be defined in January when Napoli will find Inter and Juventus.
If Napoli will end winning these 2 game the Serie A will be over.

but if on the other hand Napoli are defeated by the 2 teams, of course it will damage Napoli's unbeaten record, it could make the players' confidence also decrease and their performance will also decrease, they will lose more often in the next match

After a long break, Napoli will play two tough matches. And if Napoli can win both these matches then I say Napoli will win the title this season. But it is very difficult to win these two important matches after a long break. Inter Milan may not be able to consistently perform well. But they have a strong squad. On the other hand, the performance of the Juventus team is quite stable now. Two very difficult matches await for Napoli.

As of right now, Juventus is playing well. As of right now, they are in the third position on the table, which is a respectable position to be in. In spite of the fact that it is going to be a break at the moment. There is no way I can predict how they will be able to play when club competition resumes again after the World Cup is over. Having said that, I believe that the key to the team's success will be the presence of all the players and the absence of any injuries in the team. However, I wonder if they will be able to be consistent when they start playing again or if they will continue to play badly like they did at the start of the season!

Yes, it cannot be denied that the increased performance of AC Milan last season was inseparable from the role of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Even though he has slowed down, it is his mentality that keeps his teammates more motivated. This is what made AC Milan decide to extend his contract even though he was injured. They need a player who has a good mentality and that is Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He is indeed a temperamental player, but he can balance it with good performances. Not many players have those characteristics, AC Milan are lucky they have them now.

Not so far from the ball possession of the two clubs, and Cross which is owned by Inter Milan is superior to Napoli, that Inter Milan has more control over the suspension of some of their wing players, of course it will likely create a chance for goals in the meeting later, but the shot that is have Napoli is very large, it will likely create a goal opportunity in the first half minutes, (AVG GOAL): Napoli 2.47, Inter Milan 2.27 the comparison only produces a thin value and that means this match will be much more balanced, because both of them are buying and selling attacks on the first minute until the end of the match, everything returns to the two clubs respectively, because that is not a benchmark for a victory in a soccer match, anything can change..

[Maidak]

Things didn't go very well for Milan considering the last four weeks in the Serie A. They didn't get even one comfortable win in terms of score. They lost 5 points in this time period as well. This has helped Napoli very much as they are eight points ahead of Milan now. Milan might be in a big trouble as for retaining their title this season. They need to bring back their old performance and start a winning streak. They have no other choice for now as Napoli seem unstoppable. At least they can keep the gap at this point until Napoli start to stumble.
But unless Napoli maintain a very bad form it is very difficult for any team to catch up with them too much.

The teams have played only 15 matches. There is still a long journey ahead. But in just 15 matches, the Napoli team is 8 points ahead of second-placed Milan and 10 points ahead of third-placed Juventus. So Napoli is in the best position to win the title. Even if they drop a point in the 2/1 match, Napoli is more likely to win the title. However, the teams will still play about 23 more matches. It is very difficult to perform consistently for such a long time. And so Napoli is far ahead now though. Even then, there is no way to say for sure that Napoli will be the champions this season.

Napoli have been waiting for this moment since many years there should be no reason to waste it unless they are faced with 2choices between SerieA title or UCL
Milan is Napoli closest competitor, unfortunately Milan lost several points in the last 5 matches as if they gave Napoli a chance lol if Milan and Juventus lose more points in the next few games it means Napoli are indeed prepared to win.

The first thing is that even though they are so much behind in terms of points(8 ) they are still in the second position and not so far behind. The eight-point difference is still going to be very big for them. There is no denying that they should have done better considering that they are the defending champions.

However, not having Ibrahimović available was a big setback for them. But that is obviously going to benefit Napoli a lot. They are currently at the top of the table and there is no way they are going to just give away the benefit of eight points. Now I don’t know what is going to happen after the World Cup break, but unless Napoli loses a lot of points, it is going to be hard for Milan to successfully defend that title.

[ginsan]

They need a player who has a good mentality and that is Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He is indeed a temperamental player, but he can balance it with good performances. Not many players have those characteristics, AC Milan are lucky they have them now.

ibrahimovic has indeed been one of the influential players for Ac milan in the previous season. But this season, Ibrahimovic can only contribute through the atmosphere of the locker room to encourage the AC Milan team in every match because Ibrahimovic is still recovering from the injury he has experienced. but recently I read in one of the newspapers about ibrahimovic who was reported to have started to recover from injury. Stafano Pioli really needs Ibrahimovic on the pitch in the upcoming matches.

[rozak]

but unless Napoli loses a lot of points, it is going to be hard for Milan to successfully defend that title.

This season still has a lot of games left. no need to be too pessimistic for Milan to defend their title.
Napoli has won quite a few points with the consistency of their game. and of course lucky because the other team played quite badly at the start of the season.
nothing is impossible with the difference in points. even Milan also managed to catch Lazio, Atalanta, and Udinese. when Milan manages to catch up with Napoli, it will make Serie A even more enjoyable. although I hope Napoli will finish this season well.

[Distraction]

The Serie A started to be really enjoyable since Juventus' domination finished. Juventus became the champions nine seasons in a row until the 2019/20 season. Finally we started to see different teams starting to win the league title after that. First Inter and after that Milan reached the title. This season it looks like Napoli will be the champions. It would be a very meaningful championship for them at the same time by the way. Because it has been 30+ years since they got their last championship here.

The only boring part might start depending on if Napoli open the point gap with the others much more and finish the season earlier than the expectations. But I will still enjoy the league anyway because we will have another different champion team.  

[masulum]

However, not having Ibrahimović available was a big setback for them. But that is obviously going to benefit Napoli a lot. They are currently at the top of the table and there is no way they are going to just give away the benefit of eight points. Now I don’t know what is going to happen after the World Cup break, but unless Napoli loses a lot of points, it is going to be hard for Milan to successfully defend that title.

The good thing is, AC Milan not really dependent to Ibrahimovic, even last season when they are getting title. So, this season, maybe hard because Ibrahimovic need to recover from his injured. As soon As he can play even just for subtitutions, i feel Milan will doing something difference after january transfer window. Last news I've read, Ibrahimovic will possible to join squad when AC Milan face Tottenham in UCL. maybe we will see Milan have better motivations, even Ibrahimovic doesn't play in this match.
