Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[G_Besar]

Inter are still getting my attention despite being more than ten points away from Napoli in the standings. Because they are one of the strongest attacking teams of the league this season. They have almost the same amount of goals scored with Napoli.

They just need to work on their defensive game plan a little more due to conceding more than 20 goals already. This is what drags them down in the league. If they make progress in the other half of the season then they have a potential to finish it in second place at worst.

Inter are really doing well in this season that is giving their fans hope of taking the lead in the Italian league competition, because they have defeated many strong teams in this season that made people to praise their coach for the good work. I believe, after the break Inter will definitely improve higher to prove to people that they are more stronger than Napoli, because their coach will not allow mistakes to repeat itself again till they takeover the first position. I think, Inter coach will definitely work on their defense before their next match, so that there will be massive improvement after the break.

Inter is one of the best teams in Serie A. But at the start of this season their performances have been inconsistent. Simone Inzaghi, of course, must try to maintain their chances of successfully finishing in the top four of the standings. To catch the Scudetto looks like it will be very difficult for the Nerrazzuri, because until now the competition in the standings table looks very tight to win the best position. After the World Cup later, Inter will immediately have a difficult match against Napoli, if Inter can stop the Partenopei's progress, of course it will be very good for the competitors at the top of the standings.

After being an runner up last season Inzaghi with Inter had a target want to gets scudetto this season but after poor start i think they have to forget this target but Inter has a lot of improvement lately and it proven they can able to gets 6 wins from 7 matches in Serie A so this indicated Inter has able to bounce back and now Inzaghi has realized that it's hard to chased Napoli in standings league but he will attempts to bringing Inter to gets 3 points for each matches remaining in Serie A and indeed champion league zone is the reasonable position for them
However Inter still playing at several competitions such as Copa Italy and champion league so although probably they will failed to gets Serie A title but Inter still have any chances to gets the trophies from other competitions especially Copa Italy that as defending champion they are the favourite to gets the trophy again and on champion league too Inter had good opportunities to beat Porto and qualified to quarterfinal

After the World Cup all the teams will return to competition. Some teams are likely to be impacted due to the lengthy break in competition and it is possible that some players who played in the World Cup will be tired when they return to the club. In essence, the player's fitness factor is the most important thing that must always be considered by the coach.

Napoli certainly benefited greatly from this situation, because three of its rival teams, AC Milan, Juventus and Inter Milan sent quite a number of players to Qatar. Thus, I am quite sure that Napoli will be very difficult to catch due to the fact that their players are fitter, even though there is a possibility that they will slip, they already have a wide enough gap in points from their competitors.

Footballers have their own way of staying fit, even though the fatigue of playing in the World Cup will affect them a little. While Ac Milan, Juventus and Inter Milan have had more player representation at the World Cup, it is still quite difficult to make a prediction about the future of Serie A, as there is still plenty of room for unexpected things to happen, even though Napoli are eight points clear of their closest rivals at the moment.

On average, the champion of Italy becomes a team that loses 23-30 points in the entire championship. Moreover, 30 are extreme cases, and the average is not higher than 25. Obviously, 8 points from 25 is a huge percentage, since Napoli still have these 8 points as a right to make a mistake, while the rest of the teams no longer have. Therefore, do not think that since there are many games ahead, 8 points is not enough.

However, there is still an opportunity for Napoli's competitors to catch up on the number of points, although in terms of accuracy Napoli are still quite superior to the number of points they currently have, no one even dares to guarantee that Napoli will not lose, in the second half of the follow-up round. The difference of eight points only requires three defeats or several draws for Napoli, so that the opportunities for Juventus and other closest competitors will be quite open to catch up.

[makishart]

This is really serious, the case that happened to Juventus can have an impact on the performance of players on the field. When positive results began to be achieved that made Juventus manage to get back into fourth position, bad news hit the club again. Investments are being made on fake books, if the allegations are proven then Juventus will be subject to heavy sanctions. It could be that as you say, Juventus will be dropped to Serie B as a law for the shameful actions they have committed.

The journey from League A is still quite long and the distance between first place is only 10 points, meaning that when Juventus manages to get five consecutive wins again, there is potential for Juventus to win first place and restore Juventus to the glory of being the best soccer club, but Napoli is an opponent that is not easy to beat. Hopefully the circulation of this bad news will not have an impact on the mentality of the Juventus players.

I don't even think juventus can play so well for the rest of match in serie a. The investigation was still happening with the club. Juventus faces so many problem and that is actually giving huge impact to the focus by the team.
The first problem was about financial problem that faced by juventus and there was also another was coming for juventus as it was being investigated caused by some shady things that might be done by the officials from juventus.
I hope that juventus will be degrade if juventus has proven doing some shady things.

The difference of eight points only requires three defeats or several draws for Napoli, so that the opportunities for Juventus and other closest competitors will be quite open to catch up.

It's not impossible to lose three times and draw several times for Napoli, but I just think that losing that much to Napoli, who this season looks very on fire in winning games, seems like it will be a little difficult to happen. Because Napoli itself will definitely try to defend better under any conditions and will continue to try to get even more wins in the second half of the season.

Napoli will definitely try to maintain the momentum that they have at the moment, it is not easy to be able to start well at the start of the season and be able to have quite a lot of point difference with the next team below, they must not be careless and underestimate whoever the opponents they will face, including the team that is currently fighting to get out of the relegation zone, because teams from that zone are also struggling and sometimes it can be troublesome, but I think Napoli is not a team that likes to underestimate opponents.

True, the remaining more than 20 games is a very possible number to change everything. Napoli's current margin is quite far, but that doesn't mean they can already claim that they will become champions this season. The thing to worry about the most is when the same thing happens again to them like last season where they were out of title contention. Right now they have the potential to make the same mistake if they can't improve on what they had last season.

to get inter to have better results than the current ones it will be necessary to make some changes or put lukaku playing with other players and hope that inter has good results and in case they don't have good results even with lukaku playing then the inter coach will need to hire at least 2 more players who score goals and will have to improve in defense, because one of the other big problems of inter in the last games has to do with their defense that has conceded a lot of goals, they need to improve in the defense, maybe if they were strong in defense they would be in a good position, about napoli, they are definitely the best team in serie A, i doubt they can't win the serie A this season

the problem with that is that napoli just needs to be consistent in winning each game, while the other teams are very inconsistent, they lose points when playing even against weak teams, so they won't be able to have the same points with napoli, this season napoli is very lucky and they need to take advantage of this great opportunity and become champions because I don't believe that in the coming seasons inter, milan and juventus will be bad at the same time as it has happened in this and in the past season. that's why even if there are still many games to go while these 3 teams don't improve, napoli just needs to do what they're doing that will be champion, the only thing I hope is that at least juventus manages to finish in the 4 places

[Marvell1]

It is such a shame that Juventus are having a similar scenario after so many years. The supporters must be in shock now for certain. Everything started to be going good in the Serie A recently actually but this is a huge disappointment now. This crisis might be related to the Ronaldo transfer as well. Because we all remember how much money they spent to sign him and to pay his salary. This must be one of the reasons of a financial crisis in the team. I believe there is a financial crisis now otherwise I don't have any idea about what could be the main reason of this.

But I just don't understand how a team like Juventus can easily be on the brink of even relegating from the Serie A now. In the end, many teams have faced difficulties in covid-19 period financially. Besides they have also spent so much money as well. For example, Inter also have had financial problems but they didn't need to face with a threat like this.

Hakim Ziyech has to make up his mind because wherever he goes, he will have to move if he has a 100% chance of being a regular player in that club. But even though I said that he will also have to go to a club in which he will be able to grow as a player. So that he can hone his abilities.

AC. Milan can be a very good place for him. This club is always at the top of competitive football. So, he will be able to get exposure at the top level. But he should only go if he is going to get a good amount of blood time in Milan.

Honestly, I don't expect much from Romelu Lukaku at the moment, he's been on the bench a lot after being brought in on loan from Chelsea. Even at Chelsea he didn't contribute much and in the end it was what made Chelsea make the decision to loan him to Inter Milan.
He's not like Romelu Lukaku who played with them and contributed a lot to the team. He has dropped now, and I have little doubt he will return quickly to his best to help Inter milan compete at the top of the table.
But from what I've heard, Inter Milan will extend his loan spell, even though he hasn't contributed much to the Nerazzurri.

It seems that regarding cases of forgery of documents and/or other administrative matters, the penalty is still uncertain whether it's just a deduction of points or the worst possibility is relegation. Because the Juventus case in the past when they received a relegation penalty was because of the proven match fixing case, but the current case regarding the illegal practice of falsifying documents or other files has not been proven and is still being investigated.
It's a shame that Juventus as a big team are having problems like this again, the Juventus board must be fully responsible for this problem because of course they have a plan.

Even though Juventus have recovered in their current performance, with this long break it seems like the right time for the investigation team to uncover all the problems that exist.
I hope this case is not really proven because of course it would be very unfortunate if the penalty went to relegation, because in the past Juventus still had loyal players like Del Piero. But in this era, if Juventus have to be relegated because of the punishment they received, then I am fully sure that Juventus will be destroyed because there are no more players who have the high loyalty to Juventus like in the past.

I haven't heard of Ac milan being interested in him, or maybe you are just giving your own suggestions on suitable places for him, which is fine, Ac milan won't be a bad option, they won their league last season, and this season they are in the round of 16 of the champions league, the team is doing good, they are bringing back the old years, they can't fully bring it back, but they can try. Ziyech is a good player, but i don't even think Ac milan would be interested in him, they have good attackers already, and Ziyech has not really show his quality at club level for months now. If Ziyech wants to get playing time, he should move to a small club for now and try to perform well and make himself attractive again to the big teams. If he moves to a big club right now he would not still get time to play frequently.

I do agree that staying fit shouldn't be really a problem for players just because they were part of world cup. First of all, any team that goes as far as finals plays about 7 games if I am not wrong, 3 games in the group, another at 16, another quarter finals, then semi, then finals, that's 7 games, so even though they might be tired, the max they would play is 7 games, most won't play even that much, how much tired could you be when you play just that many games?

Not a lot, and Italy not being in the world cup is also another reason why many players won't be tired at all, because Italian players are the most common one (obviously) in Italy.

World Cup: Napoli concerned after injury to Kim Min-Jae

The 26-year-old defender was brought in for around €18m in the summer to be the long-term replacement for Kalidou Koulibaly and he immediately hit the ground running in the Campania capital, proving his incredible defensive capabilities from the outset.

Kim is one of Luciano Spalletti’s key players and he’ll play a leading role in Napoli’s Scudetto charge in the second half of the season.

Source: https://football-italia.net/world-cup-napoli-concerned-after-injury-to-kim-min-jae/

This is what I'm worried about, so many players are injured in the first match of the world cup, even though this is only an event every 4 years, I'm really worried that there will be more injuries because all players want to play in totality for their country. Kim Min Jae is a figure of South Korea's stronghold in the world cup this time, his role is so important for Napoli, especially since he plays in one of Europe's popular leagues, of course he has observed many great players who have taken part before. The next game against Portugal is quite difficult, even though Portugal is certain to qualify with a win or loss, but Korea will still play fully even though there will be no Kim Min Jae in the defense sector. Correct me if I'm wrong, the possibility of South Korea qualifying is still there if they can beat Portugal with a score of more than 2 and if Ghana loses against Uruguay with a score of 0-1.

Back to Serie A. Napoli have not been beaten so far, with Kim Min Jae injured it will certainly be difficult to withstand the onslaught of attacks from the next opponent and this record could have foundered, hoping that Spalletti will have new player options in the transfer market next season to fill Kim's place for the meantime.

At the start of the season, AC Milan announced their interest in Ziyech. Even though it failed at that time, news of AC Milan's interest in Ziyech become trending at the moment. This proves there is still a chance for AC Milan to bring in this player. However,I agree with your opinion, the main issue is whether the playing opportunity that Milan will give Ziyech will be good or not. Milan very often buying players in a hurry, in the end the new player is never used.

I even see that Napoli will play better when the second half of this season starts. because Napoli itself did not contribute much to its players playing in the world cup. so there is no reason for the Napoli players to experience a decrease in performance. only 5 players that Napoli donated to play in the world cup. namely Kim Min Jae (South Korea, Mathias Oliviera (Uruguay), Piotr Zielinski (Poland), Frank Anguissa (Cameroon) and Hirving Lozano (Mexico). Meanwhile, Napoli's key superior players did not participate in the World Cup. Like Osimhen who did not participate in the cup world because Nigeria didn't qualify for the World Cup. but when the player transfer season starts then I think that's when Napoli will be affected. because As we know a lot of teams are after Osimhen. and if Napoli lose Osimhen then I think Napoli will decline.

It depends on how they make their players survive in the next half of the season because indeed their current squad is very strong but if even one axis of their core players leaves then I think this will have quite a big impact on performance later.
At the moment there have been some attractive offers for Napoli in terms of players and of course this could affect performance if one especially for players in attack and midfield they leave.

well, that's what will happen if Napoli loses one of its leading players, who has been the key to victory so far. in fact all the Napoli players have played well this season. But still, if one of the players leaves, the balance in the well-designed line-up will suffer. I even read the news some time ago that Napoli could give up Osimhen if an offer at a high price came. and now it is reported that the teams from the Premier League who are interested in Osimhen are MU and Chelsea. and as we know MU and Chelsea in terms of finance no doubt, they are rich clubs. As an Italian league fan I hope that I can continue to see Osimhen in the Italian league (Serie A).

[emrecemsan]

I don't think that Napoli are this much great thanks to Osimhen only. His departure would surely affect the team in a negative way. But I don't think that it would cause Napoli to just collapse suddenly. They can still find a new striker to fill his place. They would already make a lot of money from Osimhen's probable transfer. His current market value is already 70 million euros. I guess that Napoli would demand 100+ million euros for his transfer fee. To tell the truth, I believe he is worth that much considering how much money big teams are spending on players nowadays.

As long as Napoli fill his place with another talented striker I think they would move on as usual. Because they already have a strong system now thanks to Spalletti. They have a solid team performance which prevents them from being dependent on only one player. For example Napoli have 37 goals in the league but only 9 of them belong to Osimhen.

I am hearing that Tottenham is interested in Hakim Ziyech right now. I don’t know if that is going to happen. Tottenham is not going to be a better option as well. Personally, I do not think that Hakim Ziyech is going to be interested in going to AC Milan. Especially if he is Shown even a little bit of interest by Tottenham. It is better for a player like him to play in the Champions League instead of playing in the Italian league. At least that’s what I think is going to happen. But if he does go to a top team like Tottenham in the English Premier League, he might not get the starting role in every match that he is after right now.
