Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

0-0 in the 1st half and yet another boring game.

Juventus is saving the best players for the Italian cup of next week against Inter.

In the second half, they should play.

yes, Juventus looks to play more carefully. due to the draw in the first leg against Inter in the Italian Cup, it is possible that Juventus want to keep their players fit so they don't get tired. it's a semi-final match, Juve certainly doesn't want to lose just like that.
it was now close to the 80th minute, but Juventus didn't make much of an attack. in statistics, there are only 4 shots and 3 on target. Napoli also looked overwhelmed against Juventus.

If you look at the formation used by Juventus, it looks like strengthening the defense. there is a possibility that if Juventus did not use this formation they might have conceded a goal to Napoli.
Allegri seems to know that Napoli is a strong team capable of finding loopholes to score goals and Allegri provided formations to strengthen the defense to survive until the match ended in a draw.
I'm currently watching this match live and it's really very boring there are no attacks whatsoever and the two teams are both very careful.

Under 10 minutes in normal time left now.

And juventus defend it pretty well being tortured since the first minute of the game , this is not funny ... not usual one to see juventus being underpressure the whole time , napoli looking to keep getting three points despite it's almost sure that the scudetto this season belong to them.

Edit : di maria just scored and juventus leading 1-0 despite losing the ball possession
Edit 2 : VAR rules the goal out for a foul in the build-up the score 0-0

[Vinaa77]

Juventus - Napol is still 0-0, I suspect that this could be a very boring draw.

Juventus managed to score one goal against Napoli, through a goal scored by Dimaria, now Juventus are leading the match with a score of 1-0 over Napoli, will Napoli be able to equalize the score to draw because considering the game is almost over, but I think the match will be led by Juventus. in the next leg match can Napoli come back.

[execijutiere]

In the first match of the day, Inter defeated Empoli 3-0 away from home and got 3 points.We can say that they played well in this match with the morale of eliminating Benfica in the Champions League. We didn't see a goal in the first half, but at the beginning of the second half, Inter found the goal right away and managed to go 1-0 ahead.Towards the end of the match, they found the other goals and won 3-0.Lukaku was the man of the match with 2 goals and 1 assist.With this win, they increased their points to 54.When Juventus' points penalty was lifted, they naturally dropped in the ranking.

Juventus will celebrate if the match ends with this score line. They have been able to withstand the attacking power of Napoli and some of their counter-attacks have been successful. Napoli is doing everything possible to endure they get the three points. They have been in control of the game but their attack have not created many chances and the ones they had were underutilized. Just like Arsenal in the EPL Napoli seems to be struggling in recent period and I hope it will not cost them the Seria A title. But unlike Arsenal, they still have BTW brew points between them and the second position.
Edit: Napoli is fortunate to get a goal in the extra time through Raspadori. There is a great celebration in the Napoli team, they are on their way to the title because they are now 17 points above the second-placed Lazio.

This is the first time Napoli has defeated Juventus at home in the five years the two teams have played each other. Despite having the upper hand throughout the game, Napoli managed to score in the final six minutes of added time.

Congratulations to Napoli. They are now the champion of the Serial A league. Leading with 17 points gap ahead of Lazio, Juventus(19).

Juventus - Napol is still 0-0, I suspect that this could be a very boring draw. Both teams still have a game in their legs this week, with the caveat that Juventus still had to fly to Portugal, so they have a longer journey and also played on Thursday, so less time to recover. I therefore do not think that all players from Thursday will play the entire 90 minutes again today. And it doesn't matter at all for the result at Napoli. The points for Juventus are still important somewhere as a prestige battle for place 2.

Napoli is dominated the first half and gaining all possession, playing tirednessly and using a good football pattern. It is an entertaining first half with Napoli having most opportunities of  scoring. Oshimhen is not fit yet from my observation because he hardly position himself where he can easily get a chance to score. Juventus players are trying their best but Napoli controls the midfield which give Juve less chances of creating an opportunity to score. Napoli will be able to score in the second half from the look of things.
Napoli 0-0 Juventus.

if you look at the results of this week's matches it is clear that Juventus could not make the best of the opportunity to maintain their ranking. Juventus have to admit that Napoli are stronger than them this season even though in fact this is a duel that Juventus can take advantage of after they had a moment when their punishment was lifted for them this season.

This defeat will make Juventus ranking even more threatened because in other matches AC Milan was able to get full points against Lecce and Inter Milan also ended a series of defeats against Empoli.

[Pulsar77]

Football is full of every kind of incidents. Juventus were unlucky there that Di Maria's goal was disallowed by VAR due to a foul. Not a long time after that Napoli scored the winning goal for themselves in the last moments. Maybe Juventus could have even won the match if it wasn't disallowed. Or at least they would have got a draw at worst which would be in favour of my parlay as well.    Because I'm really frustrated with losing my money because of only Juventus' not scoring a single goal.

I expected both teams to score and bet on it as well. This can really be one of the most boring matches of the week. I believed in it to be competitive with many goals but there was barely one goal at the end. It wasn't even near the quality of their previous match against each other in the league.

It's still a little difficult for Juventus in this case, especially since we can realize that in this match Napoli really locked them up from the start and Juventus failed to secure 1 point because during the crucial minute in extra time which can be said to be even the last minute they failed there.

Raspadori became the hero in this match. The Champions League is now not owned by Napoli and indeed now is the time for them to return to focus on Serie A and secure the title quickly.
As for their position, the problem is Rome because indeed Roma have 1 game left that hasn't been played for Milan and Inter, they are still a little behind and the 3 point gap at the moment is clear, even though it's not a lot of points but it's enough to hold both of them.

[Slow death]

Juventus lost against Napoli, something expected because the Juventus coach didn't put all his best players on the field right at the beginning of the game, but what I don't understand is why the Juventus coach didn't put Pogba to play from the beginning. considering that in this game it didn't seem that juventus was taking it seriously, honestly with this coach juventus won't have a good future, I know that the next cup game against inter is a very important game and given the fact that juventus they no longer have a chance of winning the serie A so winning at least the cup would make them at least win something this season

even so, if they can't go to the champions league, it won't be good either, I imagine that the coach of juventus is also counting on winning the europe league which would also give them a chance to go to the champions league, but the way juventus plays is good It's unpleasant, this coach is worse than Mourinho, he only thinks about the defense, they just score 1 goal and they stay in defense until the game ends, until when will Juventus play like this and how will they get far with this strategy? and when I talk about going far, I mean being champions of Serie A and the European Champions League

[coinlocket$]

Napoli won and Juventus has been robbed again with a valid goal removed by VAR.

UEFA/FICG mafia is going on.

[Doell]

Raspadori became the hero in this match. The Champions League is now not owned by Napoli and indeed now is the time for them to return to focus on Serie A and secure the title quickly.

Yes G. Raspadori become a hero for Napoli in that match because he can scored in the last minutes, finally Napoli was able to secure three points in this very tight match vs Juventus.

By the way tomorrow there will be Atalanta vs Roma match, previously Atalanta they lost vs Bologna and can only share points with Fioerentina, so I doubt this team will win tomorrow. Also this is an important match for Roma to stay away from Milan, so I think Roma will try their best to win or draw in that match although tomorrow they will play at away.

[nurilham]

Lazio should have been able to win against Torino or at least draw a score because there was still time to do that, but until the match ended, Lazio could not do it, so they finally lost by a very narrow score.

Lazio dominated the match, they won ball possessions and made more shoot attempts.
Sadly, no goal is made until the end of the match. I don't know whether it was the unlucky day or the bad performance of Lazio attackers.
Yes, Torino just defeated Lazio with a single goal only. However, it is enough to steal 3 points from Lazio.

The difference in points between Lazio and Juventus is very thin, but the next match is Juventus against Napoli, which will not be easy to win.

Juventus failed to get points against Napoli. They also get 0 point, they experience the same as Lazio. So, there is no chance in their positions. Lazio is still in 2nd place, Juventus is in 3rd place.

I believed in it to be competitive with many goals but there was barely one goal at the end. It wasn't even near the quality of their previous match against each other in the league.

Yea I also saw it as a game that will produce goals from both teams. Usually, in the Serie A when two top teams meet there's always a lot of goals. Both Juventus and Napoli are teams that can score goals so I find it a bit surprising that there was only a single goal in the whole match. The return of Osimhen was another confidence buster for me

I didn't bet on the game because I honestly wasn't sure on what to bet on. It was difficult to predict who the winner would be, so both teams to score was a very good option. Sorry it didn't go that way.

[jakdanyel]

Juventus really could have got something out of this match. First their goal was disallowed indeed but I think there was really a foul there. I mean there were two tackles before the buildup to the goal and the second one was definitely a foul in my opinion. Later on they got really close to scoring a goal to get ahead once again with Vlahovic but Chiesa couldn't hinder the ball getting out of the field by inches before passing it to Vlahovic.

After wasting these chances Napoli surprised them with goal in the stoppage time. Raspadori's goal was really lovely and Juventus couldn't answer them in the same way. Maybe they had time to do so but it was still a limited amount of time. Napoli still won this match despite being comfortable in the lead already. I don't know how Juventus can still lose this home match.

Even if it was foul and I think it was not, the VAR could not call the referee in that situation.
They have a regulation, use it.

I am yet to confirm the news on the reinstatement of points as over the commentary that Juventus was deducted 15points as punishment but had that reinstalled which did put them as title contenders with Napoli.
That easily makes it a rivalry match, it doesn't matter how far Napoli has got in points but, you don't let your rival get the better of you and as such, it was easy for both teams to play very carefully.
Juventus had a very compact and coordinated defence for most of the first half but, where more attacking when Di Maria came on.
Unfortunately for Juventus, they lost in the plus minute and what a goal it was, came right through the goalkeeper's legs and into the net. Its a cool score for such a contest between elite teams.

[Velvet78]

The last game of the week is going to be Atalanta - Roma tomorrow night. Atalanta are shown as the closest side to win by bookmakers right now.

They won against Roma away before as well. However I still don't find these odds very true for this game. Because Roma's recent form is much more impressive than their opponent's. Besides I like their game more recently. Roma's away performance these days isn't very impressive though but they won the last one. Maybe this can be some extra concentration for them to maintain a winning streak in away games. But I think it is less risky to bet on both teams to score instead despite knowing their previous game ending by 1-0.

Juventus should be thankful for getting back their precious 15 points (obviously it shouldn't be removed in the first place well)
That's their third defeat in a row. I thought getting back their points will boost them not the opposite.
Napoli have to get 4 more points regardless of the others results to be declared champion, that could happen any moment especially if Lazio lose another game and Napoli won it, which could happen as early as this month.
In today's matches, Fiorentina took a surprise defeat by Monza, the worst part they were leading with 2 goals then Monza scored 3

This match will be quite interesting to watch because seeing from the current conditions both teams can still get 3 points.
At the moment Atalanta is still not doing anything really good, especially for the last few matches, but indeed their chance to secure 3 points is actually still there, especially since they are playing home in this match even though Roma are currently more favourites.
