Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[temple]

it is true that this defeat did not have any effect on Napoli, who were already very far ahead at the top of the standings, but the defeat they experienced at home made their mentality a little disturbed because the positive trend that they had been able to maintain since the start of the season was interrupted.
I don't see that Napoli played badly so they lost, but I think all of this is inseparable from the good performance of Lazio's players, especially in the midfield and below which are very well organized, making it very difficult for Napoli to build attacks.
Lazio's performance in this match was quite good and I think this victory they deserved even though this was a surprise and many people lost their bets in this match including me.

This negative result made a partenopei record that never lost at home to normal during the 2022-2023 season. But the defeat was also not very influential on the team, the advantage of the number of points that was too large would certainly not make Napoli waver. But even so Spalletti also should not feel calm with what was obtained until now, the defeat received from Lazio must be a valuable lesson so that in the next match did not return to lose points.

For Lazio, this victory is very important for them to strengthen their position in the top four.

The loss could even beneficial for them. It shapes their view on themselves again. When you win the games for so long you can get a wrong feeling about your own strengths as well. It shows that they have to give their very best in every game in order to win it. But playing at a lower pace in their position is understandable.

I didn't know that, are you saying there has never been a team that played a whole season without a single home loss? When you are so far ahead like Napoli you are also playing for records of course. That would have been a great one. I only remember that Arsenal once played a whole season without a single loss. In Serie A I don't know.

I admit that yesterday's Napoli vs Lazio match disappointed me a bit. I expected more from both teams. Napoli had the advantage, but little came of that advantage. There were no scoring chances. Lazio focused on interfering with the rival and waiting for counterattacks. The tactic proved successful, with Napoli suffering their second defeat of the season and Lazio taking 3 points to move up to second in the table. Milan have a chance to overtake Lazio today, but they have to beat Fiorentina in the away game, which will not be an easy task.

I don't know what happened but you are right that Napoli is not as usual, Lazio seems to have succeeded with their strategy and gave Napoli a defeat and that also made them manage to improve their meeting record against Napoli. Of the 14 attempts they made, only 2 could lead right to the goal, which proved that they were not effective in this match. This defeat made them unable to widen their points gap and stuck at 65 points.

At this juncture, no one would think otherwise today as Lazio is nothing compared to Napoli this season. Still, I hope this will not be the kind of match in which the higher odds would win. This means that football can surprise us, but if I should rate my affirmation on this match, I would say that Napoli will win with 99.99% assurance.

Yet, the remaining 0.01% could be catastrophic even though it's very small.

I flashed back at what I wrote about Napoli - Lazio and I burst into laughter. Despite overrating Napoli against Lazio, I still warned of the 0.01% of Lazio win which would automatically give the people that opted for the club huge money. It was actually a payday for some people yesterday, to the extent that I saw some betting odds of between 150-300 that Lazio would win.

I guess I will be following my instinct of this kind of unsure match next time.

Napoli did a very good job. But Lazio performed absolutely wonderful. Napoli had every chance to score but due to the anxiety in them Lazio took advantage of that. Lazio had a very strong defence that they left no space for Napoli to penetrate in their box. Vacino's goal is absolutely goal of the month, the shot was unexpected and it was a fantastic one. Di Lorenzo also did a brilliant save too. With this wonderful performance of Lazio, I believe by now Bologna team must be having extra training because it will be so hard to stop Lazio from wining.

[Uruhara]

The battle for second place in the standings seems to be getting fiercer. even now Inter Milan and Ac Milan have the same number of points. And Lazio is now 1 point ahead of these two teams. but I'm pretty sure Lazio will return to 4th today after Inter and Milan both won their respective matches. Serie A this season has become more competitive than any other league. and only Napoli are still sitting quietly at the top of the rankings this season.

Lazio always surprises, and this time it's Napoli who feels it, but it still doesn't shake the standings. I think this is one of the best matches in Serie A this season, 90 minutes of high intensity. Lazio played very tightly, with the commands of Romagnoli and Vecino on the two lines of the field, back and center. Plus the two LB and RB that killed the movement of Zambo anguisa, Kvarat, automatically just killed off the creativity of Labotka and Zielinski, as a result, counterattacks made it difficult for Napoli.

[rendravolt]

Napoli's defeat today seemed fateful and could not be avoided considering their long winning streak. But the defeat also could not shake his position at the top of the standings.



Today's other match will be Fiorentina vs Milan, if we look at the top 4 of the current standings except for Napoli, the competition between the teams is only 1 point away and it seems that in this match AC Milan must get full points in order to shift Lazio's position in 2nd place in the standings . For Fiorentina in the last 5 matches they only got 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats, these results are not good and Milan can take advantage of this to steal points at home to Fiorentina. My score prediction Milan will win with a narrow score of 0-1 or 1-2.

I was expecting a better season for Milan this year. After all, they are the last champions of the Italian Serie A. But Napoli swept away the league. The most important issue of Italian Serie A this season is the league second place. Inter, Milan, Lazio and Roma are the teams competing for second place. My favorites this season are Milan and Inter. But Milan could be one step ahead of Inter. Because Zlatan Ibrahimovic returned from injury last week and entered the game. I don't expect goals and assists from him. But he can bring spirit to the team. Today's Fiorentina away game will not be an easy match for them. But the positive momentum in the team can help them win this match.

Lol, when we had too much confidence in Napoli to win, but in reality Napoli lost at home by Lazio. Also, with this win, Lazio is in second place in the Serie A standings for the time being. Maybe I'm the only one who feels surprised by this result because after all, I also bet for Napoli but the result was quite surprising but with such great disappointment.

Indeed, losing in this match does not change Napoli's position but yes, I don't think this kind of result will happen. Because after all, Napoli also played well because Napoli could also control the match well. Really didn't expect a result like this to happen, because at this moment and also based on the existing records the reality is that Napoli does have very good quality to win. But sadly, all of that doesn't work very well at this moment.

Lazio were lucky because Napoli played a very good game. I expected Napoli to score a goal, it happened, but I also think that the match will be productive, but everything turned out differently, the first half was not very active, and in the second, when Lazio scored a goal, they focused on defense, and their plan worked. This did not become a big problem for Napoli, as their advantage is still huge.

Well, it's not about having confidence. it's more about checking the previous games because all we can do to predict the game is to check the recent games of both teams and compare the situation of these two teams together and try predicting the winner while if you take look at the last games of Napoli you can see they never lost a single point recently and they are strong enough to beat any team, especially in Serie A while Lazi also performed well so far but they are still far from Napoli.

I am also very disappointed with Napoli's appearance, but what can we do, they have worked really hard. From the display of the match statistics below, we can see that Lazio relies on counterattacks and Napoli wasted a lot of opportunities.

This is Napoli's second defeat since Serie A this season started, even though they are still leading the standings, there are still 12 matches left, so the chance for other teams to overtake Napoli is still big.


in other matches, currently, monza is leading 2-1 over empoli, monza only needs to keep their defense until the match is over.

I also thought that Napoli would win the match because of their domination and how they played at that match. Napoli did high pressure to attack Lazio, but Lazio was really string in defending, and they prepared very well their defense. And once Lazio has the chance to counter attack, they did it and make a goal. This must be shocking Napoli players, but this is the real fact that always happen. However, luckily, Napoli will still stay at the first standing because of their amazing gaps of the point difference.

You are right that we have to check all the statistics of the teams that will compete and try to predict what will be the final result, and from Head To Head Napoli managed to beat Lazio 4 times in a row even when the match was held at Lazio home, from Napoli's appearance in several the match gave even more confidence that they would win this match convincingly but everything didn't go as predicted and it happened in this match.

Monza vs Empoli, Monza is leading 2-1 so far and I am quite impressed with Monza's journey so far because of the 3 teams from Serie B, Monza has been able to perform better and be able to compete and be in the top 10, which is a good thing for a new team in Serie A.

Other team in serie a must have learned from how lazio was preventing napoli to make goal. Lazio's defenders are able reduce attack that came from napoli's players. 14 shots and only 2 on targets. This proves that if lazio's strategy is very effective to prevent napoli.

It's very disappinted to see napoli loses at home. Spalletti aware about what's wrong with napoli. It seems like that spalletti will fix it very soon.

Fiorentian won't be a hard opponent although possibility for the draw is still there. I hope that if ibrahimovich will be playing since the first half. That will be so good to see him as a striker for ac milan. This will be repeating the golden era of him in ac milan even though he is old enough now.

The discipline of Lazio's game made it a little difficult for them to penetrate the defense which made them fail to secure points and indeed Lazio should be appreciated in this match because they really did something very well in this match.
But even so I think right now even if Napoli loses it still doesn't make any impact for them especially in points but it definitely has an impact for the others because Lazio have now started to become a real challenger for 2nd place.

[Raflesia]

It's really interesting now. Finally there is the second team to beat Napoli in Serie A after Inter this season.
Even though in this match it didn't really have much effect on Napoli, I'm pretty sure many bettors were ruined because of the bets in this match. Because indeed Napoli is quite worth it for betting, so many are fooled it seems.
The conditions are now even more exciting for the hunt for the top 4 after Lazio managed to win in this match.

Lazio surprised the fans because they were able to defeat Napoli's power, and finally there was a team that was able to make Napoli not move after all this time they always got wins. Matas Vecino was very lucky to be able to score goals and give Lazio victory. Hopefully Napoli can come back from defeat and get another winning streak.

Talking about the goal, it was indeed a worthy goal and in my opinion it was very good to see a hard kick that was fired from outside the penalty box.
Lazio really defended but when they had their chance they didn't waste it and made the most of it.
Now, of course, Inter, Milan and Roma have to make another breakthrough because with Lazio's victory it is clearly not safe in the top 4 now.

Lazio sometimes impress us with their unexpected lucky victory and this time was against Napoli even if the result was only 1 goal.
Lazio is temporarily in the second place with 1 point gap from Inter that will play later vs Lecce, same goes for Milan that will face Fiorentina, so they will return back to the third or fourth place soon in my opinion.

Udinese are winless in their 10 matches against Atalanta. And now that they are playing games, I don't think Udinese will be able to break their bad record against Atalanta, although it could happen. The last time Udinese was able to beat Atalanta was 5 years ago, in 2017 to be precise, it was a very long time and difficult for them to do it again. Now they are playing at Atalanta headquarters, so Atalanta can win again according to my prediction.
10 minutes of time passed and Atalanta took control of the ball.
