Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[giammangiato]

Mourinho's presence at AS Roma was very promising at the start and raised hopes for Roma to return to being a strong team and also a strong contender for the title, but Mounrinho's several seasons at Roma have not delivered what was expected before and this is his second season at Rome, nothing has changed it means that even last season he couldn't bring Roma to be able to play in the Champions League, but maybe he needs time to be able to build a strong team like at previous clubs where he could immediately give a title in his first year of coaching, hopefully Roma will still give him a chance because after all he was one of the best coaches ever and almost all the clubs he coached won championships both locally and internationally

true, Jose Mourinho is a great coach, he has done well with many teams (except with Inter Milan if I remember correctly, not by chance)
I think Roma can't win the Scudetto, but they will certainly go to the Champions League if they continue to play as well as they are doing

Mourinho has put down an impressive track record as a coach. And with AS Roma he also won the conference league. And every prize you win counts as a coach. As a coach you just want to win, at least if your name is Mourinho. He is often known for his anti-football as he showed at Chelsea. I think he cares little what the media think of it. AS Roma has a mediocre season with a 7th place. But the top in Italy is quite wide. Udinese has fallen far back to a very good start. And Atlanta? It now seems that they are in a dip in form and have a difficult season ahead of them.

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.

If in fact Lazio is a team that surprised me a lot, because honestly I had a lot of hopes about a team that is iconic for me and that produces a lot of coins, and Roma, because in the golden days of Roma Totti was the great emperor, but I think that Mou wanted to relive those glorious moments for the players who are there right now and he has not been able to, however in the way Mou does things and the way he told a particular player who betrayed him and I come out impressive, only Mou He knows how to say things and who to say them to, in the most splendid way possible and this caused a lot of fury on social networks, especially on Espn, which has boasted that to everyone.

It seems that last season and this season will be no different for Roma, they will find it difficult to finish in the top 4. Dybala and Abraham really didn't show a good performance for Roma even in the last 3 matches they weren't able to bring Roma to win. I wonder if Rome will join in buying other new players in the next transfer market.

If it is possible to buy and according to the price, why not. Because every team will definitely see and glance at the players who are sold in the next transfer market in order to add to the team's strength this season and also the following season.

Currently Roma are ranked seventh in the standings and yes to reach fourth place will obviously be very difficult for Roma because those who are above Roma now are the best teams in Serie A this season. So Roma need to beat them and hope they lose when they face their opponents in the second half of the season.

Well to be honest, Roma is still a pretty strong team, strong in terms of its technical director being quite focused on what he wants, I don't know if he will have a transfer window to leave Dybala, I see it as very difficult, it's something that can be studied, however the financial situation of the team is quite strong, in itself it is difficult, I would prefer to think that it is better to wait and see how all this develops, at the moment the Italian league is quite strong, there are players who apart from the Italian league They want to enter, as is the current case of CR7 who has already been removed from Man United, possibly many offers will be heard from there.

[FanEagle]

So far Napoli has been quite consistent until the Serie A break ends, the transfer market will reopen after the World Cup ends, Luciano Spalletti can still take advantage of the conditions to buy several important players in his squad, so that the fight for the Scudetto doesn't just disappear this season, especially if Victor Osimhen actually goes to another club, so they have to prepare a suitable replacement for him.

That’s both a great thing but also not a great thing at the same time. It means that their players were not good enough to be in the world cup, not many of them at least, which means while other teams have their players in the world cup and growing in value, Napoli doesn't have that chance and their players won't be able to show their talent.

But at the same time, it also means that when everyone gets back, they will be tired as hell, whereas Napoli players will not be as tired and considering they are already dominating the league, they will be able to grow the lead a bit more until everyone is back at the speed, and that will give them a too much of a lead to stop.

[terrorJR]

But I think all Serie A football fans, especially those ans Napoli, will miss Osimhen very much. if it turns out that Osimhen really left Napoli. because it is true that many big clubs want Osimhen. but I hope that Osimhen can stay in Serie A according to his contract with Napoli which is still long, namely until 2025. But the fact is that Napoli doesn't seem to mind letting Osimhen go if a big club offers a high price. maybe I will be disappointed in Napoli if Osimhen does move. because so far the key to Napoli's victory is because there is Osimhen who is always active in attacking and even Osimhen is also active in helping the defense. I think it will be difficult for Napoli to find a replacement who has the same abilities as Osimhen.

As long as the transfer hasn't happened yet Osimhen is still part of Napoli and now they have to keep trying to keep this player in the midst of the interest of big clubs.
Of course the fans still want to keep this player but this is indeed a bit difficult but it is still not certain either because it is possible that Osimhen will still feel at home in Napoli especially with their current condition.

true, Jose Mourinho is a great coach, he has done well with many teams (except with Inter Milan if I remember correctly, not by chance)
I think Roma can't win the Scudetto, but they will certainly go to the Champions League if they continue to play as well as they are doing

Jose Mourinho, as a coach who is quite old and has a lot of experience, should be able to be mature with Rick Karsdorp and not need to give innuendo to Rick Karsdorp, who may still have an unstable age and is easily provoked by emotions. Disappointment is certain to happen to Jose Mourinho, but there is no another option should be when he realizes the problem must immediately replace the player so that teamwork on the field is well formed again.

Jose Mourinho with his long and successful career, should be recognized for it. There is career smoothly all seasons and Mourinho has good and bad seasons but in general, he has an distinguished career which is admired by many other coaches.

Karsdrorp joined Roma when Monchi was appointed as their sport director. He joined Roma at his very young age and was expected to grow up his career in Roma. However, his first season in Roma began with a very serious injury after that he has never gotten a good position in Roma. He should be responsible for it as after recovery from injury and has many years in Roma, he already has enough time to prove his ability there but he has failed so far.

Latest behavior from Karsdorp is unacceptable as a professional player. Mourinho likely is too harsh with his direct attack and complain about Karsdorp but I agree he did not lie with his opinion.

I think it will be difficult for Napoli to find a replacement who has the same abilities as Osimhen.

Napoli have prepared a replacement for Viktor Osimhen if he does leave, currently Napoli are monitoring the player Jonathan David as an ideal choice and replacement, because Napoli are aware that it is difficult to refuse the wishes of the Spanish giants, besides that they are a wealthy club and there are almost a lot of players who really want to playing at the Bernabeu. Manchester United and Tottenham are also keen to sign players.
Napoli don't rely on one player in a game, they tend to play collectively, so they always get perfect wins in Serie A, therefore Viktor Osimhem's departure will not be a big problem for the squad, because the fight for the scudetto will continue.

That’s both a great thing but also not a great thing at the same time. It means that their players were not good enough to be in the world cup, not many of them at least, which means while other teams have their players in the world cup and growing in value, Napoli doesn't have that chance and their players won't be able to show their talent.

Maybe they couldn't compete with other players in their country, so they weren't selected to be brought to Qatar or because the country of origin of the players who didn't qualify, speaking of quality didn't fully depend on playing in the World Cup. For this club it is very profitable, because the players will not experience fatigue or injury while defending their country in Qatar.

The World Cup break will make many clubs have to prepare to return to the league, the Scudetto race will heat up and feel tough, AC Milan, Lazio and Juventus are the closest competitors to Napoli.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Agree. Napoli is undefeated until now, they surely will win against Udinese and get 3 points to maintain their position in the 1st place. Moreover, it is a home match for Napoli, they have the advantage in this match. I think Napoli will win the game with 2 goals at least.

This season, can't be denied, Napoli is incredible. They are a very strong and solid team, even compared to other big clubs, they may not have as much hype as others in the beginning, in fact, until now, they can play consistently winning. This is not easy, never been beaten so far, only has drawn a match 2x, and the leasts are all victories. We are sure that many people are surprised with the performance and achievement of Napoli so far because I am sure that Napoli is not the favorite at the beginning. But right now,I really agree that Napoli deserves to be the winner, hopefully, they can be consistent and stronger again by the end of this season.

well I can't deny Napol, it has become the team that has attracted the most attention of many, I know there are things to improve, but the way it is lined up is incredible, for me they can easily be first, no I know why some teams like Juve, like Roma have not been able to have the same start, Inter seems to me to have maintained the level and like Milan AC, I think these teams are clear about what is required to go far, but looking at it from a more positive point of view I think that the fact that the most famous teams are having bad times means that the level has increased.

Italian football needs more level, more attention and I am sure it will be the most famous league, what is needed is nothing to reach that level.

true, Jose Mourinho is a great coach, he has done well with many teams (except with Inter Milan if I remember correctly, not by chance)

Well, there is no doubt about something, and if I agree that Mou is a technical director who is worth having in any team, that there is no other with more security to provide his players and that the best thing of all is that he tells the truth whoever and wherever, that is something that not everyone has. There are almost none of that type of technical director, now the technical directors, some have a lot of grudges and do not let some of their players advance, for me one of them is Ten Hag who thanks to him is that Manchester is bad, for me it is so.

When the Mou led Inter I remember that the team did not perform, but I dare to say that at that moment it was due to the players' lack of commitment, the coach cannot do much when the players do not put effort into it.

I agree with you on this point. This coach is very good. He always gives very good advice. We all don't know this. But I think this coach is old and still gives good advice. But now everyone knows him and his  Everyone took advice from.

The World Cup break will make many clubs have to prepare to return to the league, the Scudetto race will heat up and feel tough, AC Milan, Lazio and Juventus are the closest competitors to Napoli.

Napoli will not be so overwhelmed this season despite having to compete with AC Milan, Lazio and Juventus. Because when Napoli returned to competing again in Serie A after the world cup, Napoli already had a slight advantage which was clearly very useful for him to fight for the Scudetto. The distance between points and their current opponent is a very good capital for Napoli to stay at the top of the standings by still scoring points in every game.

I agree with you about his long career, but I disagree that he is special
he's a normal good coach, only very expensive
honestly, he's better off for less money, like Spalletti the coach of Napoli
or like Ranieri who led Leicester to victory in the premier league

The chance for roma to win scudetto is pretty small caused by the gap with the napoli is too big and that's impossible for roma to make it happen even a team that placed at the second position would be having small chance to reach the gap with napoli. Napoli is now leading the competition and im feeling napoli has a very big chance to be considered as potential winner for the current season. It seems like that so many clubs were only aiming to get positions into the top 4 to be qualified for the champion league.
Napoli is dominating everything in the serie a for now. Im sure that if napoli will be winning the trophy. It just needs to be consistent for the rest of matches that will come soon.

[Bobrox]

Of course, Napoli have won so many big games so far. I just wanted to give it as an example for Roma. Because they needed different strategies against the most in-form team in the league. Mourinho needed to prefer a more attacking style rather than playing defensively. He just becomes so obstinate to make his players apply his usual strategies from the old times and this drags down Roma even more.

Mourinho isn't like a manager who would love to try new things very often. Therefore we will see what they will do from now on.

Jose Mourinho have character with defensive games play than more prefer with attacking games play, actually I don't think he success with his scheme based on AS Roma faced difficulty finish on top standing position, Roma always have bad result against big top team and with mediocre team just won with small scored. Until international break, AS Roma stuck on 7th standing position with 27 points from 8 won, 3 draw and 4 loss.

I don't see any chance with AS Roma can back to the top fourth standing position although still have many matches left, with defensive games play and not trying how prefer attacking on every games its seem difficult for AS Roma get three points on every match left in Serie A.

[hahay]

The distance between points and their current opponent is a very good capital for Napoli to stay at the top of the standings by still scoring points in every game.

Yes indeed, Napoli only needs to maintain its position and keep this point gap safe. But if we consider Napoli's performance in previous seasons when it was towards the end of the season, its performance might drop a little.
At least this is still a big consideration, whether Napoli this season will be able to maintain its performance, or maybe it will repeat mistakes like in previous seasons.

But regardless of whether Napoli can maintain its performance or not, I also really want Napoli to win the title this season. But because Juventus are back in the top four quickly, then I think it can also be a serious threat to Napoli's position.
Because at the start of the season I really thought that Juventus had a big chance to win the title this season with their new squad, but at the start of the season Juventus' performance was very disappointing.
But with such poor performance at the start of the season, who would have thought Juventus would be able to get back into the top four quickly. Such rapid improvement is of course a big concern for me for Juventus to be back in the title race this season.

[Davian144]

and regarding the achievements with AS Roma, he has proven it by giving trophies in the first season and if you look at the statistics that Roma continue to grow after being coached by Jose Mourinho and for the Scudetto race I think Roma will compete hard for it even though this season they won't win it but it is not impossible that in the following season Jose Mourinho will give that to AS Roma, he needs a process with the AS Roma team which has a makeshift squad compared to their rival teams in Serie A.

Rival teams in Serie A also don't have more good and famous players even though they can do good cooperation with fellow players when competing. The task of Jose Mourinho himself is to provide the best strategy and direction for the players so that they can really understand how to overcome the team's weaknesses in certain lines so that next season they can compete again for the Scudetto.

I don't know what is the obstacle for Jose Mourinho at AS Roma now, whether the strategy he applies can indeed be read by the opponent or indeed his team can't implement the strategy he gave properly. I think he needs to add ammunition in the transfer window later and also re-strategize now in the World Cup break. I want to see how they are after the season is running again, whether there is an increase or can not improve or even decrease.

[mendace]

Napoli are playing for their first Scudetto after their last one with Maradonna. It would be a great celebration for their new stadium name which is used their legend Maradonna.

World Cup makes Napoli more worry because their player resource is limited and if their players get injured in World Cup, Napoli will suffer a lot. I don't think Napoli will be too actively in a coming transfer window. Because of many reasons like, they don't have big budget for transfer and in middle of season it is very hard to find available good players on transfer market.

Napoli don't have to worry much about the world cup and their players because they don't bring many of them compared to other teams and above all they are not players who can influence the championship so Napoli can rest assured

[masulum]

Napoli don't have to worry much about the world cup and their players because they don't bring many of them compared to other teams and above all they are not players who can influence the championship so Napoli can rest assured

Break the transfer window and also the world cup will still have an effect on the team. Even though they are not part of the national team squad that represents their country for world cup. Example the physical and mental health of the players that will change when the league returns. This is something that the teams who are fighting for the championship need to be wary of. Changes in the formation of opposing players from the transfer window can make the opposing team better. So, Napoli must be careful and maintain the physical and mental players in order to continue to appear consistent after this break.

[Distraction]

The World Cup break will make many clubs have to prepare to return to the league, the Scudetto race will heat up and feel tough, AC Milan, Lazio and Juventus are the closest competitors to Napoli.

I think we shouldn't write off Inter in this title race. Technically all of these teams are far away from Napoli at the moment. But if we talk about which one of them can end the season at the second position in case of not being able to catch up with Napoli then I can add Inter also among the biggest favourites. There is already a very close gap among Milan, Juventus, Lazio and Inter now.

Inter are better than them in offense right now. Because they have scored 34 goals and it is nearly the same as Napoli's amount. Inter's main issue is with their defense. 22 goals are just too many to concede. Maybe they have some plans about fixing the problems there. One of the ways might be to make new signings for the defense line. Or Inzaghi might make some changes in his defensive strategies. They had better do this immediately as of the upcoming league matches.
