Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Velvet78]

Lazio have done a good job so far by having a good form in general. They are very good about keeping up with the top teams now. Maybe Napoli are at a very different level now but we never know what will happen in the future. We don't know what kind of a return they will make. If they lose momentum we can suddenly see a title race starting seriously again.

As for Lazio again, their next game is a comfortable one. It is against Lecce and I don't except any big mistake from Lazio here. This season they have a bigger potential to finish the season in top 4.

I don't think there is s possibility for lazio to catch Napoli but at least they should get the maximum points and try to get a champoins league spot, they are in the 4th position so far but their mission will not be easy for sure because inter and roma are behind them

The italian league this season is a game of surprises .  Napoli performance this season is so outstanding that nobody expected it to be this way. Some teams that has bad record in previous season are doing better in their performance.  I expect Napoli to win a trophy this season.

Napoli is eleven points ahead of Lazio in the Serie A table, and Napoli is in excellent form; therefore, I don't believe Lazio can catch Napoli unless Napoli stops winning matches.

I am confident that Napoli will win the Serie A title because they have everything it takes to win the league, and Juventus and Inter, who are expected to challenge them, are not in good form, which is why I want Napoli to win the title.

The last 3 matches of Salernitana before the world cup break didn't go well, but seeing Milan's condition in attack, this is a bit of a consideration.
In plain view, this is an easy match, it should be just that with some of Milan's current conditions that are not very good, of course this is a bit of a real problem for them. As I said in a number of previous posts, even if Milan wins, it will only be a narrow win.

Bottom teams can be a problem for AC Milan. I often see blunders made by Milan when dealing with lower teams. I don't know what caused this. If Milan repeated the mistake, while Napoli could win the mtch, then the gap in points would widen and this would not be good for Milan. After that, maybe Milan will compete for the second positions with Juventus not for title again, because it will be more hard for Milan.

I noticed some top teams face this kind of problem of finding it difficult to win games easily playing against lower teams in the league. Same issues manchester united face almost every season, they can compete and win games playing against City, Arsenal, Tottenham and even Liverpool but will struggle to get a draw against Leeds or Crystal Palace, I don't know if it is because they underrate the smaller teams or because the smaller teams prepare more when they face a top team.

the italian league is still halfway through the season and there are still many matches to go through, that's a sign that milan and juventus still have the opportunity to catch up on points with Napoli, although I also know that Napoli's points are far enough, it doesn't rule out the possibility that Napoli can win the league this season, but it doesn't have to be happy first as long as Napoli keep playing well like before it will be easier

People didn't expect napoli can did 13 winning streaks in a row. The performance of napoli under palletti is so good but there will always be a question whether napoli will able to continue this record until the end of season or not. Sometime a team that was performing so well during the early until mid of season will always be struggling at the end of season. that makes the team lose its position and then its team won't able to become a winner for the title.
I think that the rest of match will become the most important moment for napoli to determine whether napoli can still defend its position or another team like ac milan will be taking scudetto again.

in order for Juve or Ac Milan to catch up, one of them has to get back real strong and Napoli has to lose their strength that they started with, this scenario is difficult to happen, it would be a really big surprise for me if Napoli won't win the league by the end of this season.

In the past season, Napoli had a good early half of season but lost all advantage after New year holidays. An injury of Osimhen in the past season impacted their performance in general.

In this season, Napoli even had a better early of season before World Cup 2022. Their win streak is unbelievable but years ago, AS Roma did have some season with good win streaks but they failed to beat Inter Milan with Ibrahimovic and win Scudetto.

In this season, no beast player like Ibrahimovic, no dominating teams like Inter Milan or Juventus in the past, Napoli have better chance to win Scudetto.

Jose Mourinho was targeted because he was considered a coach who made AS Roma not on a good track now. Even though he managed to present a trophy, sooner or later there will be a lot of pressure for AS Roma management to immediately fire Jose Mourinho because he is considered not to have done anything good. Indeed this will be a consequence of a coach, if it is good then keep it, and if it is bad then they will be fired immediately.
This is an opportunity for Jose Mourinho to restore the team's self-confidence by winning this game, otherwise sharp criticism will be heard for him.

When you win games and get good results you get all the praises but as soon as things begin to go the wrong way as a manager, you lose trust of the management and even the fans. The fact that Roma are not having a good run of form will definitely raise critics which only getting good results can turn things around, imo this is a good opportunity for Mourinho to try and change the current situation with the poor results by winning the first game.

If Mou wants to make a good recovery he has to try to change the cards a bit for a good result but let's remember that the whole team hasn't recovered yet and there are still some injured players.  However when he is in a difficult phase he always somehow manages to get the most out of the team and this makes him a great coach.

exact,
You have done a very precise analysis of the situation
I would say perfect
this year we have a better napoli and other slightly weaker teams
and other hungry new ones (like Rome) so there's more competition for the big names
In this year, if they play their cards right, Napoli can win the Scudetto

So can't wait for this Italian league event to start because of the league
England has started this week, of course I want to bet a lot on Italian league clubs, especially Juventus, I would love to see Napoli's development in the next few matches, hopefully they can still stay at the top of the standings

No money In Italy, only few clubs have, but bottom table teams struggling, and without competitive league, very hard  for top teams to compete in Europe. IMO Italy clubs will not won nothing in Champions League next 20-30 years

It will indeed be a very big surprise if Napoli, who have looked strong and have not been beaten this season, suddenly become weak. But I don't think that Napoli will turn out to be weak because they themselves are also aware that they are currently in a very positive and very good trend so there is a possibility for them to continue to maintain their appearance in every match so as not to be easily chased by opponents like AC Milan and Juventus.

Primer League have tradition for playing after one day from Christmas and they called with boxing days, but Serie A always have dispensation with free schedule before or after Christmas in several days. Still few days later with Serie A comeback after break out from World Cup exactly first match held on January 4 between Salernitana vs Milan.

All Serie A player have longer time get recovery after FIFA World Cup Qatar and they can spent Christmas and new years with their family because have four days later with Serie A competition start. I am waiting with Juventus performance, still can consistency or not after winning in 6 matches in a row before postponed with World Cup, although still have Napoli with unbeaten record until right now.

Are you coming from the future?Italian team have been managing to enter in final of UCL so many times since 2000 until now. I think that you shall not even underestimate italian team just becuase it has less resource compared with another team from other league. italian team has the same chance like any other team. Saying italian team will not win anything until 20 - 30 years later was a joke. I think that you shall take a look at the data before try to say something about that. Ac milan has won UCL in 2003 and 2007. Intermilan in 2010. Juventus was almost making it a few years ago.

[nara1892]

Judging from the composition of players like Tammy, Dybala, Wijnaldum, Belotti or Zaniolo, I don't think there is a shortage of players, but indeed sometimes the schemes and formations that are carried out also don't go very well, especially for their defense line. In 15 matches they managed to concede 14 goals, which means that 1 game is almost one goal ratio. Even though the attack line is still quite good, when the defense is like this, it is a little difficult too and this is the same as Inter now.

I'm quite surprised at what really happened to Rome, they have a coach and also good players but why do they always concede goals in every match they face, I agree with everyone who says Roma are very weak in defense

At this time the issue of Mourinho's departure has been dismissed because he prefers to train Rome rather than the Portuguese national team. so he should be able to focus on improving Rome's defense once again

But indeed, an incision like this is also a bit the same as other clubs, even Napoli, who are in first place, they have conceded 12 goals so far and the best is Juventus, who are always criticized but their goals are the fewest balls conceded.

But seeing this condition is clearly not something to be proud of because this still makes Serie A a little weak, of course, especially considering Inter's current condition.
As for Roma now they have to be prepared for the rest of the match because if they can't play well anymore then it seems like the demand to fire Mou is likely to be heard again.

I totally agree with you, Even Serie A is the number 3 competitive league in the world, how can he say that an Italian team won't be able to win anything in the champions league for the next 30 years? I also watched the 2007 UCL final when AC milan beat Liverpool and the 2010 UCL final at that time Inter Milan managed to beat the German giant Bayern Munich. Even now, several Italian teams are still fighting hard to win the UCL this season, such as Napoli, AC Milan and Inter Milan. The three teams will next compete in the play-off round in February 2023.

[LUCKMCFLY]

no one is forgetting these teams, I'm talking about Milan Juventus and so on. But at the moment Napoli is the team that convinces the most, for how the whole team plays in a perfect and synergistic way.
Leicester won the premier league with normal players (no stars) and a great manager, Ranieri.
The team has to turn, the players have to fit together well, then the spells happen

Of course Napoli is one of the most convincing ones because of their form, but I really hope that other teams will be tough in the second half of the season. Napoli have tended to fail to maintain their form in the last few seasons and there is a possibility that this season they will experience the same thing. That is one of the interesting facts about Napoli, but I really admit that expectations about them are very high.

Well, I know that the expectations of many are much higher when it comes to Napoli, for me they are at a very good level, but what I have been commenting on for some time in my previous posts happens, and that is if they decide Selling their players will disintegrate the entire team, of course one of the things that can happen is that they run out of good players and start to lose, and it is very easy for them to lose and lose if they remain in the lead, and That is something very sad, at least I see it that way, and even more so if the directors do something like that, what explanations can they have? or what things can they say to their fans?

Seeing how Napoli is playing, there is a huge chance for Napoli to win against Inter, but Napoli didn't have enough good results against Inter. Out of their last 8 meetings, Napoli were only able to win 1x and because this match will be held at Inter's home, Inter remains the favorite to win for the bookie. bet @2.22 on Inter and @3.15 on Napoli, betting on Napoli and they win would be very profitable but I predict it will be a draw

A bold prediction, especially considering the fact that you attach importance to "historical" patterns, but do not pay attention to the fact that Inter have zero draws this season 
In general, such quotes from bookmakers annoy me - Napoli have zero defeats, Inter have 5, but Inter is the favorite.It looks unfair, but from a betting point of view, this is a good opportunity to bet on Napoli or Napoli double chance.

For now as everything is, I think Napoli can give pleasant surprises, if the team is complete they can win, Inter is one of the toughest teams in all of Serie A, and it catches my attention because it is an Italian team and I think that all the Italian teams deserve to have a good position, in fact in the UCL they are giving the surprise, although for now everything is focused on meeting with PSG and Bayern, but for me in particular, Napoli has made great turns of Very good results. For now, what we have to wait for is these games to see how they look after the World Cup in Qatar, we all have good expectations.

Inter is a team that tries to retain its best players:

Inter’s Contract Extension Offer To Milan Skriniar Worth A Total Of €48M Gross Over Four Seasons, Italian Broadcaster Reports

Inter’s contract extension to defender Milan Skriniar would be worth around €48 million total in terms of gross wages, over a four-season period.

This according to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, via FCInter1908, who report that the Nerazzurri do not feel that they could go any further than the offer that is currently on the table for the Slovakian.

Skriniar and his representatives have had Inter’s contract extension offer for some weeks.

As of yet, no definitive response has arrived from the 27-year-old, who is still considering his future amid transfer interest from Paris Saint-Germain and other clubs.

For Inter’s part, there does not look to be a great deal more than the club could do to convince Skriniar, given the amount that they have already put forward.
