Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Distraction]

Juventus are going to finish this break with a Cremonese match in a few days. This is one of the most comfortable fixtures for them of course. Cremonese are currently the only team that have no victory so far. It looks like they will get their 9th loss by this match also. Juventus already have a six-match winning streak in the league and they would like to maintain this at least until facing another tough opponent. This break has been very beneficial for Juventus in terms of their injured players to recover.

After Cremonese, I expect them to defeat Udinese in Turin also. Right after that they are going to have the most challenging match in the season which is an away match against Napoli. They should be fully prepared for that.

Inter Milan's position is very far behind, and it seems that there is no hope for Inter Milan.
If they insist on trying to keep going and get a win, then it is an effort that is very unlikely for them to make because it is certain that the opponents they will face will be very difficult to beat.

The hope is still there as long as the season is still running and not over, because surprises and other unexpected things are still very likely to happen in matches. And if you look at the whole match for these two teams or the term is head to head, it's clear that Inter Milan has more wins than Napoli, but this season it might be very different because Napoli so far has had a very good increase in performance in every game.

It is understandable that Napoli may seem not so great on head to head because they have not been as great as they have been this season. I mean look at their season so far, have they ever had such a season before? I do not think so, which proves the point that "head to head" as in previous games they matched doesn't matter considering Napoli is at their best version right now.

On the other hand, the game could always be lost, but the season could be won, Napoli losing to Inter doesn't mean losing the league neither, they could lose the game but then have a much better rest of the season and just end up getting the title anyway. Which I assume will be what happens next.

No, they have to compete healthily in every match, why does there have to be a bad smell from the teams below to be able to beat Napoli. Napoli are a great team this season and their opponent in the first week after the world cup break is inter milan. Inter milan can beat Napoli if they know their opponent's weaknesses.

Although many clubs always expect Napoli to be lost in any matches, in fact, Napoli is still leading and can maintain their performance and position in the Serie A. We know that they are very consistent so far. It seems that Napoli is able to win the league if they are still being consistent with the match and win everything. Btw, many people may bet on Napoli because of the consistency. Their progress this season is very excellent

Napoli's defeat was expected by other teams such as Milan, Juventus, Lazio and Inter. All of these teams hope that Napoli can be stopped because the point gap they have is too big at the moment. Inter have hopes of winning the match by beating Napoli, and thus the competition will be even tougher for Serie A.

In my opinion, Napoli's run really needs to be stopped so that the competition is getting better among the top teams. Even if it's difficult because Napoli's performances are very consistent, there's always hope before the end. I believe Inter will win the game, it's not that I underestimate the power of Napoli. Napoli are having a great season at the moment, and I admit they are one of the few candidates for the Scudetto this season, but competition is also needed.

No, they have to compete healthily in every match, why does there have to be a bad smell from the teams below to be able to beat Napoli. Napoli are a great team this season and their opponent in the first week after the world cup break is inter milan. Inter milan can beat Napoli if they know their opponent's weaknesses. Napoli will make various efforts to be able to maintain their consistency in every game. strong competition will occur throughout the match even Ac milan could be removed by juventus if they are unable to maintain good performance. Inter milan is still struggling to get back into the top 4 and their tough test must be able to beat Napoli in the upcoming match.

As things were going before break now we can expect same level performance from the Napoli because they have no injury or any other off the field issue which will give them good confidence with now they are going to face Inter which is surely not easy game but keep one thing in mind they also have good attack, but their defense is not good because they concede most goals in top teams which is clearly going against them and Napoli can take good advantage of this weakness with most chances they can steal all three points as well which will give them clear edge for having better time to stay at the top and enjoy this season with their impressive win.

Now we have tough fight for the remaining three spots which is surely not easy because AC Milan is already at the second and Juventus at third Lazio and Inter will fight for the remaining, but we can expect some resistance from Roma as well Lazio and Atlanta are going again out of competition.

so far no one doubts that Napoli have played consistently and played well in every game because they have not met an opposing team that is comparable to them at the moment and they really take advantage of every moment of their match so that they never drop points, against intermilan will make us know the strength the real Napoli club

[Velvet78]

Milan are going to have one of the opening games of the upcoming match week. It is against Salernitana and it is an easy work for them on paper. But they need to be aware throughout the game not for letting their opponent make a surprise. Salernitana are better than the previous season now so they would play fearlessly home against Milan as well I assume.

If Milan win this without problem then they can wait for the Inter - Napoli game very comfortably. A draw at the end of it would be the best for Milan in my opinion.

With their first 3 matches after quite a long break now this could actually be a problem because 2 of the 3 matches that will be taking place are big matches. Their first game will be away to Inter and this will be troublesome and their third match will be no less troublesome because they will host Juventus.
This is a real test for their consistency and this can be a reference whether they can still do consistency or not.

Inter odds are bigger than Napoli in this match. Maybe the home effects might be considered, yet Napoli should not be underestimated imo.
Juve and Roma games in January are important to know if Napoli could continue leading alone or let the other teams catch them!
The positive points in case of Napoli defeats are that Milan has hard games too, Juve are easier in January overall.

I think the odds are logic considering that inter will play home but i don't really think this will affect Napoli, this team is absolutely unstoppable this year and it's very hard to every team to beat them, personally i believe the winning chance will be 50/50 % and this will be a very interesting match to watch

AC Milan have a very easy match on paper, Salernitana are playing to avoid relegation to Serie B and have always given their best against the big teams, AC Milan shouldn't make the mistake of entering the pitch thinking they're going for a walk and he will have to win to put pressure on Napoli. Inter today played a friendly against Sassuolo and I have to say that the team seemed to be in excellent shape! I think we will see a great match between Inter and Napoli

Bookies always have more potential for teams that play at home because of course when playing at home, this is actually still an advantage because they can play and be watched by their fans, most of whom will decorate the stadium.
But as you said, this will not really make Napoli falter. Their condition is good and seeing from Inter's defense which is actually quite bad I feel this will be an advantage for Napoli.

Playing at home was giving a small advantage to the intermilan but the result gonna be determine by the mentality from players. I can't deny that if playing at home will be boosting morale from inter's player and i think that bookmakers was giving too small odds for inter, i think that even bookies gave small odds but the gap shall not be so big like that. Playing at home meant nothing if intermilan didn't have good mentality to beat napoli. Napoli itself will be coming with full power after whole of players have been taking long holiday after world cup. I guess that if napoli will not be missing the best opportunity to make full points from intermilan. This gonna be a pretty interesting match for sure.

Inter odds are bigger than Napoli in this match. Maybe the home effects might be considered, yet Napoli should not be underestimated imo.

Maybe because Internazionale is often to Scudetto which makes the odds is bigger, but still people still have sure Napoli will not have a problem in san Siro. Because on paper, Napoli seems to look good as a material player, and with performance, I do not doubt choosing Napoli even draw is a bigger chance for this time. And, Napoli also hasn't pressure about points, because different points is far enough if they lost or draw.

But they need to be aware throughout the game not for letting their opponent make a surprise. Salernitana are better than the previous season now so they would play fearlessly home against Milan as well I assume.

I shall remind you that salernitana was at the 12th positions which mean it;s not possible for salernitana to win against ac milan without rely on its luck. Even if salernitana has been doing better than previous season but the chance to win against ac milan is very small at this moment. Salernitana might give ac milan a tough game but it doesn't mean salernitana will be defeating ac milan.

If Milan win this without problem then they can wait for the Inter - Napoli game very comfortably. A draw at the end of it would be the best for Milan in my opinion.

I don't even think milan will be facing any difficulties against salernitana. I meant salernitana was a bad team now. Ac milan will be winning easily against it. It doesn't make sense if ac milan would be losing against salernitana. Ac milan may able to destroy it and take full points easily.

Inter odds are bigger than Napoli in this match. Maybe the home effects might be considered, yet Napoli should not be underestimated imo.

It is a match at Giuseppe Meazza stadium, a home stadium of Inter. I guess the odds is taken from the home stadium effect.

Maybe because Internazionale is often to Scudetto which makes the odds is bigger, but still people still have sure Napoli will not have a problem in san Siro. Because on paper, Napoli seems to look good as a material player, and with performance, I do not doubt choosing Napoli even draw is a bigger chance for this time. And, Napoli also hasn't pressure about points, because different points is far enough if they lost or draw.

Inter Milan have better tradition than Napoli. Much better as they are a second successful club in Serie A, only after Juventus at 1st position and AC Milan are at 3rd position.

Wiki about Serie A gives us good images on top clubs in Serie A. You would be surprise to see these details, Napoli are a fourth club that have most runner-ups in Serie A history after Juventus (21), Inter Milan and AC Milan  (16) and AS Roma (14). Napoli have played 77 seasons in Serie A.

Napoli are a great team this season and their opponent in the first week after the world cup break is inter milan. Inter milan can beat Napoli if they know their opponent's weaknesses. Napoli will make various efforts to be able to maintain their consistency in every game.

Competition will remain healthy between one team and another, and rightly so. I also don't mean to say every team will try to beat Napoli just to keep them from winning the Scudetto, but it is part of the competition where they beat each other to get maximum points. Just like in other top league, each team will try to get maximum points regardless of their position.

strong competition will occur throughout the match even Ac milan could be removed by juventus if they are unable to maintain good performance. Inter milan is still struggling to get back into the top 4 and their tough test must be able to beat Napoli in the upcoming match.

Exactly, Milan and every other team always has the potential to lose points if they are unable to maintain their performance. But I think every top team will try their best to maintain their position in the top 4 and compete to be the best in the top standing. Napoli have a tough challenge because Inter wants to improve their position to the top 4, while Milan and Juventus will certainly try to take advantage of Napoli or Inter's losses from that match.

Salernitana did have a better performance than last season, but that won't cover the fact that we will get that they will certainly lose to AC Milan. The best result that can be made by Salernatina is probably a draw, just like they did in their last meeting.

My prediction for this match is that AC Milan will win but not with that big score because Salernitana will play more defensively. Salernitana 0 - 2 AC Milan or Salernitana 1 - 2 AC Milan don't seem bad.

Bookies were seeing the impact from playing at san siro will give a lot of pressure to the napoli. that's why napoli is getting bigger odds compared with intermilan. The result from friendly match has been making some people feel doubt with intermilan.
I was taking the advantage by the odds that given to napoli. i will pick napoli over intermilan even though if that was playing at san siro. i don;t even think if playing at inter's home will be greatly affecting the performance from napoli.
The only thing that can be a good aspect to think napoli may play underperform was the result from friendly match. The friendly match was giving us a clue about how good or bad performance from napoli

[rozak]

Since the start of the season, Napoli have played extraordinary, but this is a different situation. After a long break, it is believed that changes will occur, especially after a friendly match where Napoli played less than optimally.
Betting on Napoli in this match is quite risky but anything is still very possible to happen.
this is a match that will be very fierce, I think it is difficult to choose a bet on one of the teams, but after I have considered it, I think it is more appropriate to bet on this match, is to take a goal over, seeing that both teams have great potential to score goals against each other.

after the world cup break, most teams played friendly matches to restore the squad mentality. Napoli did, despite the disappointing result. but in the Serie A match, now Napoli is the leader in the standings.
facing Inter is not an easy match for Napoli. but they can hold Inter. Inter just had a trial run with Sassuolo. with Inter winning 0-1.
what Inter has shown hasn't looked very good. but their chances of winning this match are bigger than Napoli's. A fight like this is hard to place a bet on. maybe I'll miss it.

I don't feel the situation has changed or is different, a friendly match is so different from a competitive one, even if Napoli lost to Lille in a friendly match, it does not mean anything much to them and they will carry on in the seria a as they did before the world cup. The world cup break was not a long one, it was just for one month, so i don't feel there will be too many changes, as long as players aren't injured they will perform as they did before the world cup. I know Napoli have been too good this season, and seria a fans are waiting for a period that they will lose games, i don't think that period is now, it may probably be when they have won the league with some matches remaining to play.
