Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[indah rezqi]

Roma ended their bad streak and back to winning. AS Roma have 6 points less than AC Milan and if they win it, they will see chance to join top four and farther take over the second position from AC Milan.

AC Milan have 2 and 3 points more than Juventus and Inter Milan so the match with AS Roma will be important for them to hold a second position. They must get one point from AS Roma because a defeat will put them to a fourth position if both Juventus and Inter Milan win their matches.

AS Roma won their first match after many weeks and Dybala was back but again their attacking system did not work well. After 16 matches, they scored only 19 goals that are very little for a club in top six of Serie A. They will have to score more goals because their defense is not too good and to win matches, scoring more goals is mandatory.

No, I don't think Roma have been able to beat Milan even though recently Roma managed to get 3 points from Bologna. Roma have suffered 4 defeats and 1 draw in their last 5 matches against Milan, so I think I know who should be expected to win this weekend's match.

Besides that, I have no doubts about Milan's performance so far where they have been quite good with only losing 2 and draw 3 in 16 matches. Besides, I'm sure Milan will definitely fight to win their home match because they have to try their best to reduce the points gap with Napoli. So it's the same as you would expect, if you expect Roma to beat Milan and get 3 points then of course Milan will also be expected to win their home match for 3 points.

there are some roma players who have minor injuries maybe that will be a weak factor for roma in the match later, of course milan has the upper hand to win the match later because milan seems to be fully focused on catching up with Napoli at the top of the standings, so maybe milan will play well and win narrowly in the match later

AC Milan will definitely play well against AS Roma, because AC Milan also doesn't want to be humiliated at home by the AS Roma team. After all, as you said, AC Milan is trying to shorten the distance from Napoli, who was beaten by Inter Milan yesterday, so any match will be a very good opportunity for AC Milan to realize its goals. Even though AC Milan will not immediately win easily because every game always requires struggle.

Roma is not in the best of their form and Milan when playing at home usually plays well,now more than ever they would want to win this game to try and shorten the distance with Napoli.They are just 5 points between each other and if they win the game they go 2 points behind Napoli with Napoli having one more game to play.

Milan by winning this game does two things at once,first they shorten the distance and second they put a lot of pressure on Napoli to win the game they have more at all cost and this does not translates always well.

Napoli team suffered the first loss of the season in the serie A and the gap was closed to five points but still a big difference to overcome especially since milan performance does not look that great i consider juventus a more threatning team, they won a great number of games without conceiding goals which is an impressive feat in the serie A, things will heat up in the next rounds we might see some changes in the top spots of the table.

AC Milan will pay to win because they know that Napoli lost to Inter. They will fight hard to close the gap so that they can retain the title. In their forth coming match, they will fight hard against an experienced AS Roma team which is being managed BY the legendary Jose Mourinho. My thought is that AS Roma will ride on the victory of their last win against Bologna.

Napoli seems lost mentally champion from Inter. We know they will face tough challenges from a big club that have mentally champion like Inter, Juve and Milan. This is not easy to keep them on 1st top, I agree if they play consistently, Napoli will get what have they dream, but we know Napoli last scudetto about 32 years ago most likely they have forget how to defend it as a champion this season, slip will happen on the last week if lost and can't play consistently.

This month Napoli have gotten tougher opponents to test their consistency in Serie A. Especially after the defeat to Inter Milan which made Napoli have to be careful in the upcoming matches. Napoli will face Sampdoria before they face Juventus. one mistake will make their point distance closer to the rival team below. Napoli have indeed been fasting for the Scudetto title for a long time so they may lose balance a little when they have to fight with big teams like when they were defeated by Inter Milan.

Ac milan has found its best form after winning a dramatic win against selernitana, Ac milan I think will continue to stick to Napoli at the top of the standings in the upcoming matches.

Sassuolo messed up terribly in their last game against Sampdoria and lost a good opportunity to earn 3 points, playing against Fiorentina away from home will not be an easy task for the players of Sassuolo as Fiorentina are a tough team to beat whenever they are playing at their home stadium. I guess there is a high chance for Sassuolo to suffer another defeat in this upcoming match against Fiorentina.

Fiorentina are very superior in this match, because they are playing at home in Week 17, while Sassuolo travels to Fiorentina's headquarters in less promising conditions, after suffering two consecutive defeats against Sampdoria and Bologna. So that the chances of getting full points when they travel to Fiorentina headquarters are very small, especially now that Fiorentina is chasing full points to improve the standings.

While Fiorentina were also less impressive in the previous two matches, they drew against Monza and lost against AC Milan, but I think they will get a win against Sassuolo in week 17, because they are superior playing at home.

At the start of the season now Sassuolo is still not in good shape and they only have 4 wins and more defeats with 8x so indeed this situation is difficult for Sassuolo to get points at home Fiorentina which is slightly better than the away team I don't expect anything bad more so for Sassuolo as they have been on a losing streak over the last few weeks.

Bookies also offer great odds for Sassuolo, it's just that it will be a risk if taken, but I quite believe that Fiorentina will win, even if you say the game is not impressive, but when facing teams below that, at least the hosts have a little ambition to win.

Many football fans would have predicted that Napoli will maintain their unblemished record, but football games are unpredictable until the last whistle. Now, Napoli's prospects of clinching the championship this season may be in jeopardy if they lose their upcoming game.

At least we can only hope that the defeat against Inter Milan does not spread to the following matches in Serie A because after all Napoli still need points to be able to realise the dream of winning the Scudetto.
Luciano Spaletti must motivate his players to forget the defeat to Inter Milan and evaluate where Napoli's shortcomings lie in order to focus on the next match because Sampdoria will be waiting for them and Napoli will also be welcomed by Juventus in match 18.

The thing I don't like on Mourinho is his strategy against big teams in the league and his way of thinking after getting ahead in a match. I can give their Napoli match as an example. Mourinho had a really passive game plan against Napoli that they were dominated by their opponent throughout that match. The result was a loss for Roma as well. This time Roma were dominant against Bologna and found the goal first. However they started to play like they were just trying to keep a 1-0 score to the end. This could have caused them to lose points.

Roma need to make changes in this way of play. Otherwise their job will be much harder for top 4.

I've never been a fan of Mourinho's tactics. He's not really offensive. He believes too much in counter attacking football. I don't like a team that is so comfortable sitting back ad letting their opponent just press them. You wont win any major trophy in todays football with that kind of play. That's why I don't enjoy Atletico Madrid and Simeone. I'm not saying you shouldn't defend but don't play like you're respecting your opponent. Defend when you lose the ball and attack when you get the ball.
I don't see Roma making the top 4 anyway.

[MuffinMaster]

consistently it seems that Napoli always play well in every game, but sometimes a football club doesn't always win always, in this half of the season Napoli must maintain their playing style in order to remain consistent to win the Italian league this season, Napoli's next match will play against Sampdoria and can make up for yesterday's defeat

Napoli seems lost mentally champion from Inter. We know they will face tough challenges from a big club that have mentally champion like Inter, Juve and Milan.

There is a 32-year longing.  They should see this as their biggest motivation to become a champion.  Napoli is a team that has the power to do that.  They may not have been able to give themselves to the game in the Inter match, they may have lost.  They have to recover quickly.  Morale is very important on the road to championship.

In the Serie A league, Napoli were defeated by Inter after a great performance. Napoli were in control for most of the match, the match was well managed by Napoli. But Inter managed to score a goal in the 56th minute of the second half. Later, despite playing well, Napoli could not pay for the goal and were defeated.

After all, Mourinho hasn't made any major changes to Roma, because before Mourinho was not yet a coach of Rome. In fact Roma are also still able to compete for fifth and sixth positions, and after Mourinho coached Roma but the result is the same because Roma can only compete for fifth and sixth positions and not the top four positions.
At least this kind of performance also happened last season, and this season Mourinho has still not been able to make Roma stronger.

Therefore, with such a flat performance, I personally can no longer expect Roma to be able to compete in the top four.
Because with Roma still having the chance to end the season in fifth position, I think that's good enough, because in reality Roma is still not strong enough to be able to compete in the top four until the end of the season.

If you hire Mourinho as a coach, then you also need to consider the consequences. Mourinho is a coach with a defensive and counter-attacking style of play but if he has really good players then I think he can adapt his strategy like he did with Real Madrid and Chelsea in the past.

I think Roma suits his current strategy, it doesn't need to change because Roma are still inferior in quality to Napoli, Inter, Juventus and Milan. So there's nothing wrong with his strategy, Mourinho just needs to adjust it when he gets weaker opponents.

I know that Roma has not played well enough. Actually, they have not performed anywhere near where they should have been. I think we also can say that the tactics of José Mourinho are also not up to the mark right now.

You might actually think that I am saying this because he is not performing well as a coach, but honestly, I have never liked José Mourinho as a coach. If you give him a good overall balanced team, he can bring in good results. But still nothing extraordinary. But with a team like Roma, it is hard for him to bring in results.  And I do not think that Roma will be able to compete for the top positions on the table. Even the fourth position is going to be very hard for them to achieve.

As mentioned by BITCOIN4X, Mou is a typical defensive coach, parking bus while winning goals in an important match, this is repeated in several club. I think the opposing coach already understands Mourinho's character. This is makes Mourinho easily conquered by the opposing team. Maybe Mourinho needs to implement a new strategy, of course it will be more difficult for him. However, if he can get players who can play with his strategy, I still believe he can bring Roma better in Serie A and in the UCL.

Sassuolo is not performing well at all this season. They do not have one win in the last five matches. Actually, they only have four wins so far this season, 16 matches have already been played.

Personally, I do not believe that they will be able to win against Fiorentina, even though Florentina is not in the best form right now. I am actually not going to be surprised if this match ends in a draw. My opinion is that it is going to be a little bit of a risk to predict a Sure win for Fiorentina. But the thing is Sassuolo should not win, and it will be a good result for them if they can somehow come out with one point from this match.

In the next match, they will play against Milan. I don't think they have a chance to win this match, Roma are not playing very well at the moment. They can do well against the middle-ranked teams in the league, but to be honest, they have no chance against the top 5 teams.
They even had a hard time against Bologna, we can even say that Bologna was much more effective in the match. It was a great chance for them to score a goal at the beginning of the match

Roma need to make changes in this way of play. Otherwise their job will be much harder for top 4.

Roma will face Ac Milan in the upcoming match.

If you say Roma have to get up to continue the winning trend they got against Bologna, it might be difficult to happen when Roma face Ac milan. Because Ac milan is in pretty good form after a long holiday. Even the statistics for the last 5 matches of ac milan and Roma, Roma have never won a match against Ac milan. Moreover, the match will take place at Sansiro, I'm not sure how Roma will survive the attacks carried out by Ac milan. maybe we will see the opportunities provided for this match. i think bookie will give for ac milan good odds.

I've never been a fan of Mourinho's tactics. He's not really offensive. He believes too much in counter attacking football.

I think Roma will be able to get into the top 4 until the end of this competition, even though they often lose points in vain but looking at their current quality and squad I'm sure Mourinho will be able to bring Roma to the top 4. Mourinho has brought many changes to roma, he is a coach who has a worse character if he sees his team lose, he will do anything to make his opponent a victim in his playing scheme.

in the standings table while Roma is only 3 points away from the top 4, so one win will be able to change their ranking in the standings table.

[Zackgeno96]

AS Roma does have the potential to finish in the top 3. But I think a 3rd place would be the maximum achievable for this team. They don't have a bad team, but they can't become champions. The top in Italian football is very strong. The title fight is probably between Napoli, AC Milan and Inter. I can't think of any other teams that can seriously claim the national championship in the current situation. That title fight has in any case become a lot more exciting due to the loss of Napoli against Inter. And let's hope that doesn't collapse at Napoli, which we have seen regularly in the past with other teams in other competitions.
