Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[BITCOIN4X]

It's no surprise that Napoli won again, but Lecce looked like they could take something from this game. Now there is Milan match. Both teams failed to score yet. If this match ends like this, it will be very bad for Milan. Empoli hasn't even shot in 80 minutes. Milan took 15 shots and failed to score. Giroud and Leao are newly entered to the game. Instead of Origi, Giroud should've started in the starting lineup. Milan can pay for the rotation, if they don't score in the remaining time.

Empoli totally defended themselves against Milan, it's a really boring strategy game to watch. Milan must immediately find a solution to get a goal because the match is almost over. Empoli's defense was good, but Milan struggled to find good ways to score. There have been 17 shots so far of which 3 are on target, but somehow Empoli still manage to defend well. It would be a big loss for Milan if this match ended in a draw, especially after Inter also drew against Salernitana.

What a pity, milan have actually score but the goal was cancelled, I guess Oliver Giroud will be really pissed. It's just surprising how Milan have failed to score after getting that brilliant victory after an inform napoli squad. I really expected them to turn and win this ease but they have dissapointed even in terms of their performance in this match.

As I understand it, the FFP created a need for clubs to look for ways to get around it and this led to "small" financial manipulations. But if from the point of view of sports these are "little tricks", then for the prosecutor's office/tax authorities these are financial crimes.
I wonder how many clubs are involved in this (I think all of them) and will they all be caught? After all, if you remove 15 points from all clubs, then in the end no one will notice the difference 

This is a good analysis by you. "The FFP created a need", sure, every law creates a need to get around it if the person feels the need to get around it. If I feel the need to evade tax (lol), the law is to blame that forces me to pay tax. Poor soccer clubs that rules exist, they all have a need to get around those rules.
Well, if I am not ok with the speed on the highways, I can take a plane. But the difference is that the plane is legal. I have no idea what's going on now but I believe that a lot of clubs are hiding a lot of legally relevant information. It's not even surprising, is it? When you read the numbers what Mbappe and Neymar cost in transfer fees, salaries and these outrageous bounties for giving their signature? It can't be compliant with FFP. There is no way.

The thing is I don't know how quick they are and whether clubs get removed from competitions retrospectively if according to the rules they shouldn't have qualified for the European tournaments. But that would destroy the competition if it is already running. Here in Italy now if the three clubs concerned would lose 15 points, that would change a whole lot. Just check the table!

But generally you are right, the question is who is not to blame, and how much sense does a 15 point deduction then even make? Also, if all receive the same financial penalty, a poor club suffers even harder than a rich club, leaving the rich club with sufficient room to go while the poor club might collapse. Penalties somehow need to be individual.

The nuance is that PSG is a political project and the French prosecutor/tax police are not very (for some reason   ) interested in the machinations of this club. A similar picture with City, this is the most notorious fraudulent club, but for some reason they are not prosecuted by the authorities, and the League has little power, so the attempt to punish City (from Leage side) has been going on for many years.
And standing aside from all this is UEFA/FIFA, which cover up obvious scammers (PSG, City) but attack their enemies (the organizers of the Super League - Juventus, Real and Barcelona) using any pretexts and reasons. As I understand it, Juventus and Barcelona have already been dealt with, and the next victim is Real Madrid.
Such selective "justice" is itself a fraud because the law should be the same for all.
In general, clubs find themselves between two fires - on the one hand, UEFA/FIFA allow "friendly" clubs to cheat, so all clubs are forced to do this too (to one degree or another) in order to keep up with competitors. On the other hand, sometimes there are problems with the authorities, and here the Federations (the same bastards UEFA/FIFA officials) also impose sports sanctions on the clubs. Very comfortably.

I made a big bet and I am not sure how that's going to look. I know that I shouldn't have made such a big messy bet, but it just felt right to do so. I wagered on all Milan, Inter, Napol, Atalanta, Juventus and Roma to win. I know that sounds silly and most probably we are not going to see them all win and I do not know why I did a bet I had absolutely no trust about at all.

But, I just felt like that was a bet that I couldn't miss out because they are all playing teams that are weaker than them if you ask me. Surely Lazio-Juventus will be hard, but the odds of these games combined makes it 43 odds give or take and that's just too huge for me to pass up. This is why even though I know I will lose, I gave it a shot anyway.

Salernitana 1 - 1 Inter

Lecce 1 - 2 Napoli

AC Milan 0 - 0 Empoli

you lost on your bet, I'll start by commenting on inter, honestly betting on inter is the same as asking to lose money, inter can't even win even a smaller team, they suddenly became very weak, they can't score many anymore goals, there is no good defense anymore, with this current coach inter does not have any good future, I hope that the board of inter dismisses the coach and makes reforms in the team, and when I talk about reforms in the team I am talking about hiring new players in attack and defense, I still don't understand how lautaro hasn't been taken to a better team than inter, he's a good player who is destroying himself and sinking in inter

about milan, well there is no doubt that if it was in a normal calendar situation milan would have won this game, but the coach of milan chose not to play with his best players right at the beginning of the game because he is saving players for the game against napoli in the champions league, milan has already done the math and knows that it will be impossible for them to be champions so a draw here was the best option and beating napoli in the peasants league was the second best option, but napoli also won today and in the next game against milan napoli will play with all the best players they have, soon napoli will win the next game against milan

[makishart]

Lecce may have the chance to stay in the Serie A so far they are 8 points above the relegation zone and there are still 9 games left
Apart from that of all the remaining matches , 5 of them were played at home meaning there is a possibility Lecce get more points.

As long as sampdoria, verona and cremonese will be facing lose in upcoming match and lecce is still safe but always getting lose in serie a is very disappointing result. Lecce was just giving napoli a way to be even far than before. I do like the result that being achieved by duo milan. Duo milan performed so badly against small teams. That was making atlanta and as roma a way to go to the top 4. Juventus will even make it to enter into the competition if duo milan will not able to get full points any more.
Juventus will able to cut two points to the duo milan again. This is really good news for me.

I hope that juventus will able to win against lazio. This will make juventus cut two points to the top 4. This is also helping napoli to make the gap to be even bigger as well.
What a great result by duo milan. Im fully believing if juventus is having a big chance to go up again. I can imagine if some clubs like lazio and roma got sanctions like points deduction. These clubs will be ruined.

What a pity, milan have actually score but the goal was cancelled, I guess Oliver Giroud will be really pissed. It's just surprising how Milan have failed to score after getting that brilliant victory after an inform napoli squad. I really expected them to turn and win this ease but they have dissapointed even in terms of their performance in this match.

I think Milan underestimated Empoli too much. Pioli substituted Giroud, Diaz, and Leao. which is the main key to Milan's victory over Napoli. either deliberately saving them for the Champions League or whatever. but fortunately, they did not get defeated. Milan may no longer be trying to chase the Serie A trophy. But Milan's position in the standings is also not secure. Milan must also think about their continuity in the next season.

[jakdanyel]

It was like a miracle for Empoli that they didn't lose this match against Milan in San Siro. Because Milan had one of their most dominant matches of the season honestly. They fully dominated the match from the beginning to the end in every way I mean. They had full control with a 70% ball possession and Empoli had only two goal attempts in the whole match.

But despite all of this Milan still couldn't win here. This was one of their unluckiest days of the season. After seeing that absurd victory over Napoli away I waited for them to destroy Empoli as well. But football doesn't always work in the same way of course. Now this is a big chance for Roma to leave Milan and Inter both behind in the standings by one victory.

At first I saw Milan score in the 90th minute but somehow it was cancelled apart from that Milan dominated the match since the first half
But somehow they struggled to score goals even though against Napoli they were very aggressive with a big win.
We know Milan will be playing in the Champions League next week, maybe this is one of the reasons why they are not pushing too hard.

Empoli was so bad today that i dont know how they got this point. Milan in attack was terrible but they had the ball the entire game and dominated. But Milan just didnt know how to score a goal today plus Var cancelled one goal for them so good news for Inter

AC Milan's dominance was quite visible throughout the match but they could not win. The Milan player had a total of 23 shots in this match. But only four were on target. Empoli, on the other hand, only resisted Milan's attacks in the entire match. They only made 2 shots. Empoli's aim was to draw the match goalless. And Empoli succeeded in this match. They managed to score 1 point. A better performance was expected from Milan in today's match after a 4-0 win against Napoli in the last match. It seems that a lot of gamblers today have lost their money.

Rotation is necessary, but sometimes it costs. Of course Stefano Pioli rotated so that his important players were really fit against Napoli in the Champions League, but that actually made Milan fail to win a match they really dominated.

Milan's main problem in this match is Empoli's really good defense. Milan excelled everything, but they could not score until the end of the match. Of course it's very bad about a draw because Milan should have been ahead of Inter by 3 points. Samuele Perisan made 4 saves from 4 shots on target, while Empoli tended to defend throughout the match.

[izsara]

Even though Lecce still lost the home match against Napoli, but I can still appreciate Lecce's efforts to score a goal back because Lecce managed to score in this match. Because of course it's not easy to score goals against a team that is in its best performance, but Lecce, which has quality far below Napoli, can still play with good confidence.

Also, the fact is that Lecce is one of the teams that can hold Napoli to a draw this season and with the abilities that Lecce has like this, I think Lecce deserves to still play in Serie A next season.

Lecce is still able to survive especially seeing their current gap with the relegation zone is actually still quite large because there are still 8 points so they are still quite safe I think.
But of course they also have to try to improve their performance again now, their last 6 matches have always ended in defeat on the other hand there are still tough opponents for them in the remaining matches that will be faced which obviously must be anticipated immediately because they also still have 8 points more still they still need points to secure a position.

[Balmain]

Napoli scored the first goal of the game with the captain Lorenzo, with one of his favorite goals. Lecce made a quick comeback in the second half. Di Frencesco took a clean shot into the beautiful corner, controlling the ball returning from the carrom moment. Lecce brought the draw with this goal. The players and the stadium were very enthusiastic, then we watched Lecce drop out of the match with a big mistake. A loss after a massive injury last week would have made Napoli question, this week they fixed things up.

[nurilham]

AC Milan played very dominant, but they failed to win because they are very poor in shooting accuracy. I think AC Milan coach need to evaluate their attackers. How can they score no goals although they made 23 shoot attempts. It is a shame for me! It is a home match, the fans must expect a win. Morever, since AC Milan can destroy Napoli in the last match. The fans must be very unsatisfied today.

[coinlocket$]

Milan lost points too, what is happening?
It seems a race between them doing the maximum possible to stay out from the Champions.

At this point, one of these 2 will likely stay out.

 The result so far in serie a is surprising.  many gamblers will lose tickets cuz many results were closely a reverse of expectaation. AC Milan who defeated Napoli (the current leaders of serie a) find it so difficult to locate the net against team who is just a few step away from the relegation zone. Most disappointing and surprising is inter Milan draw against Salernitana. I wouldn't believe a top 4 team like inter will still draw after 3 lose in a row.    It was a deserving win for Napoli.  The both side was super exceptional. The game did yield a satisfactory result.

[JoyMarsha]

Napoli bounced back to defeat Leece today after losing to Milan (0-4) five days ago. This demonstrates their continued dominance of the Serial A table and their huge point gal of 19 over Lazio, who are currently in second place.
With the points gap and remaining match for Napoli, the Seria A title is for Napoli. There is no Jupiter will be able to take away the title from them. Congratulations in advance to the Napoli squad.
Although I'm looking forward to their Champions League encounter against Milan, I'm not sure what will happen to them because Osimhen, their primary striker, won't be featured in the match due to a muscle injury.

[TopT3ns]

Milan did not underestimate Empoli, but indeed, Empoli's strength was very difficult to penetrate, so that it ended in a draw. Luckily, Milan did not get a point deduction from this match, so its position in the top three at the top of the Serie A league is still safe. Milan will not chase the trophy from Serie A because the points that the first-place team has are very difficult to catch.

I really can't stop thinking about Milan, the inconsistent appearance is very dangerous for Milan in an effort to secure the top four positions in the standings. Milan should have really taken advantage of the game against Empoli at the San Siro to reap the full points, but despite dominating Milan failed to win the match. Pioli should continue to prioritize his main squad from the early minutes. I'm sure Pioli really regrets his decision in terms of rotation. Instead of wanting to save players for the match against Napoli in the Champions League, they have to give up important points in Serie A. What if Milan had to bite their fingers in Serie A because they failed to finish in the top four and also failed in the Champions League?

Both Milan and Inter performed poorly in this final game. They even had more chances to score goals, but they threw them away, happening again and again. Inter even had more chances but wasted. Likewise with Milan, they tried to attack Empoli very often, but their accuracy was very poor, and their attack efficiency was also very low. Even though I thought Milan would come back with good performance again after slaughtering Napoli, but apparently not. Maybe it's true, too underestimate the opponent this time.
