Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Velvet78]

Milan will really need to make a big improvement for next season. Because they didn't play as good as the last champion should have done. They couldn't even enter a title race with Napoli properly. They made so many unnecessary point losses and barely made it to top four. I'm saying "barely" because if it weren't for Juventus' punishment Milan were going to be out of top four.

Therefore Milan will need to learn their lesson from all of this. They did a good job in the Champions League though but they were very ineffective against Inter in the semi finals at the same time. I don't know what they can do there next time but their priority must be to remain in a title race throughout a season.

Milan season was undoubtedly disappointing falling short of what was expected of a defending champion. Their inability to challenge Napoli for the championship exposed a number of flaws that need to be fixed. There is a pressing need for improvement as evidenced by the numerous unnecessary points lost and the narrow escape to a top four finish. Although their performance in the Champions League was admirable their inefficiency versus Inter in the semi finals showed flaws that must be fixed. Milan needs to internalise the knowledge gained from these failures in order to move forward. Their main goal should be to remain in the title chase for the duration of the full season. To reclaim their preeminence in Italian football this will necessitate a thorough examination of their gameplay tactical modifications and probable squad reinforcements.

About reinforcing their squad I think they should start with bringing a much more productive striker to the team and a younger one if possible. Because Zlatan has announced his retirement and Giroud hasn't been that much productive at all. He scored only 13 goals in 33 league games. I don't even want to talk about Origi because he scored only 2 goals in 24 league games.

Maybe in many of them Origi didn't play for 90 minutes but still this can't be an excuse. He couldn't satisfy the expectations I'm afraid. Thinking all of these Milan definitely need a much better striker to make things better in the Serie A next season.

You are right, Juventus will still focus on the Serie A league. But seeing Juventus not win the Conference League will be amazing, so I think Juventus will also continue to be full in the conference league but maybe this time Juventus can win the trophy easily, but it depends on who wins. relegated from Europa League, So never take Conference league lightly.

I don't even think so. You can say that if juventus would be able to winning the game easily but the fact gonna be different.
I meant just because juventus was superior compared with all of team in the conference league and we can generalize if another team just a mediocre team in front of juventus. Any teams that participated in the conference was also very strong.
Juventus can also lose easily against those team even though those teams were not as big as juventus. The first rule in the football is never try to underestimate your opponent.
it will become a boomerang for yourself.

But interestingly Juventus playing in the conference league is like being cursed by Dybala. If Dybala doesn't get a penalty for As Roma's win, maybe Juventus will play in the Europa League.

Dybala was helping roma to be qualified for europa league. Roma will able to have another chance to get europa league again. Juventus will not able to go to the europa league caused by it was playing in the lower competition compared with europa league.
Dybala has been helping as roma so much but it must have learned to be able to win in the europa league next season.

Its not guarantee with Napoli has consistent performance next season actually after Luciano Spalletti announcing he will not become Napoli's head coach for next season. Seems bad with Napoli leave by Luciano Spalletti success won Scudetto in this season and Napoli still not confirming until right now who will be the new head coach.

I don't think has good impact what happen with Napoli right now, success won Serie A tittle in this season after waiting for long time but not extend with their head coach for next season. I sure get impact with some players for joining another teams next season like Osimhen have linked with Primer League teams Chelsea.

Yes, that's another reason too. Spalletti became an important key for Napoli, they can won the Scudetto because this man too. Even though it's too early to say this, but I'm not too sure that Napoli can return to its best performance next season, but I hope they find a coach who can really be like that Spalletti although if it's difficult. Yeah Chelsea really want this man's, but not only Chelsea,even Manchester United and PSG want this player. How could it not be, Osimhen is a very talented young player, big clubs really want his services.

The coach of the Napoli team has motivated the team more than ever. Every player in the team is able to perform exceptionally well. If not then two star players are added then this team will be in one of the best form.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reported on Saturday that Allegri will sit down with Saudi representatives over the next few hours and will receive a huge offer to join Al-Nassr or Al-Hilal.
His agent Branchini is in Istanbul to watch the Champions League Final between Inter and Manchester City and spoke about Allegri’s future with Sky Sport Italia.

https://football-italia.net/agent-reveals-allegris-juventus-future-amid-saudi-offer/

My appreciation for allegri to be a loyal coach for juventus. Even though he may get an offer from al hilal or nassr but allegri will be staying even longer in the juventus rather than accept an offer that may come from the saudi clubs. Allegri was not as bad as people said. He is still able to make juventus able to come back again to the second place before another sanction was coming for juventus. Allegri must be appreciated caused by his consistentcy in the team.

I remember when juventus had very bad performance in the middle of season and so many juventus fans are blaming him. Glad to see that allegri stay for another season with juventus.
Juventus CEO has been also confirming it.

I think that no team would want Juventus to join the Conference league with the point deletion penalty in their current ranking, probably from the teams from other countries that will participate in the conference league. Think about it, next year's champion will most likely be Juventus, would you like to be in the same group? In group matches, we can even see matches where weak European teams will score 7-8 goals.

Although it is true that some teams might be worried that Juventus joining the Conference League with a point deletion penalty will damage their present standing it is crucial to keep in mind that football is a sport full of unpredictabilities and surprises. The unpredictable nature of the game where underdogs can succeed and giants can falter is what makes it so beautiful. Although Juventus involvement may increase the tournament level of competition it also gives other clubs the chance to compete against a renowned club. Group games frequently feature exciting battles that highlight the zeal and talent of players from all backgrounds. Regardless of potential goal differentials the Conference League provides a stage for clubs to demonstrate their skills and make memorable moments.

I personally think that it is going to give Juventa a good chance to beat other teams and get their confidence back. Personally, I think what happened with Juventus was not right. They could have been fined a good amount of money. And there is a lot of corruption happening in football. Probably it was a message to every club that any kind of corruption is not going to be tolerated. But whatever happened is in the past and Juventus will have to think about the future from now on. They have already proved that they are capable of winning the Serie A. They will have to aim for the title next season.

Lazio will be very doubtful in the Champions League, because there they will face other strong teams whose games are very different from the strong teams in Serie A, so it will be better for Lazio to focus more on competition in Serie A and other domestic competitions that the chance for them to win is bigger than in the champions league. It's a shame it's been a while since a team from Serie A hasn't done well in the Champions League this season, there's Inter but we still have to wait a few hours before seeing the results.
But I read the news that Lazio is quite active in the transfer market this time, their ambition is to be able to play well in international competitions and that makes sense because it would be a shame if one season's struggle was wasted because their squad was not sufficient enough to compete in the champions league

Even though Lazio managed to finish in 2nd place in the standings this season, they are not fully strong enough to compete with other European teams and it looks like we will only see Lazio survive until the round of 32. Lazio is still in the stage of awakening and has not fully been able to be consistent. Therefore, the option to focus on Serie A is a much bigger chance for them.

I think it will be Napoli who will represent Italy in the Champions League final and it seems that Inter have surprisingly managed to replace Napoli's role. If indeed Lazio really starts targeting several players in the transfer market, of course it will be a powerful weapon for next season and they might return to their glory days.

How do you compare the Napoli team to the previous season? I see that the Napoli team has improved a lot, each player individually. The coach of the team has worked hard and implemented various strategies to take the team to a great level.

Consistency has always been a real problem in this regard and it's not just Lazio but almost every club in Serie A has the same problem. As for Lazio this season they are still very good but again consistency problems have entered them and even they are towards the end of the season, some of their matches have not gone well.
In fact, Juventus losing points is also a blessing in itself, but if they want a better result then of course they have to try something more than now.
At the moment I still feel that Napoli still has the possibility of losing their position in the current title so this can be used as momentum, it's just that in this case they need a number of things they have to fix this season.

The Conference League is also starting to look fierce now as it did last season and next season Juventus will certainly continue to fully focus on every competition they are in including the Conference League and Serie A as well. Because in general Juventus still have the ability to win and win trophies, although not in an easy way.

But interestingly Juventus playing in the conference league is like being cursed by Dybala. If Dybala doesn't get a penalty for As Roma's win, maybe Juventus will play in the Europa League.

I don't think it's good enough to think of it that way, because the name of a match is always difficult for anyone to reach and predict, so surprises like that are very commonplace and are not a curse for certain teams like Juventus because all teams want to win in every game they face.

[hahay]

I think Juventus can easily reach the semi-finals even if they don't take the conference league seriously. After the semi-finals, he takes it seriously and goes to the final and easily wins the trophy. Juventus may not take it seriously, as it is normally a trophy in Europe where weak teams compete. Serie A will of course be a priority for them.

Anyway, this season was an unlucky season for Juventus, unlucky with a point deduction penalty that made Juventus fail to finish in the top four. So, I think that with Juventus only getting a ticket to the Conference League next season, I'm sure this case has nothing to do with Dybala at AS Roma. However, one thing that I must mark is that there is no easy way to win the title, even though on paper Juventus has a very big chance to win the Conference League trophy next season.

Last time Lazio playing at champion league on season 2020/2021 and at that time Lazio can able qualified to round of 16 after finished group stage with runner up status but they journey has been ended at round of 16 because lose from Bayern Munich and now every Lazio players and Maurizio Sarri has been very excited to playing at that competition again but Lazio should be bought more players because next season the schedules will be so tight and several names such as Napoli players Piotr Zielinski or Giovanni Simeone has been linked to them

Lazio have played very well this season. And they finished the season in second place in the table. Their defense was very strong. But their attack was not strong enough. If Lazio is to remain consistent in both Serie A and the Champions League next season, they will definitely need to strengthen their attack. If the attack is not strong, Lazio will be far behind next season. Because teams like Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Juventus will be looking to strengthen their squad this season. If Lazio wants to survive in this competition, it is important to strengthen their squad.

Yes, by being in second place at the end of the standings, it proves that Lazio can compete with other big teams. And now their task is bigger because they have to play in the Champions League which has stronger competition than Serie A. You are right Lazio have to finalize their attack line, because no matter how strong their defense is if they can't score goals it won't make them able to win.

Lazio's performance this season has been far better than the big teams like Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, Atalanta and Roma. Lazio managed to finish second in the table thanks to a good team performance. Lazio's solid defense has allowed them to play consistently well this season. But we still don't know what steps the Lazio management will take to strengthen their team in the coming season. Lazio management usually don't spend a lot of money to build the team.

The slump of the top Serie A teams this season has been taken advantage of by Lazio so that they can be at the top of the standings and even being able to finish in 2nd place is very good for them this season.
in the last few seasons Lazio's performance has been good but only consistent problems have resulted in them often falling apart from the top flight but this season they have managed to improve their consistency so that they can be at the top of the final Serie A standings.
Lazio will play in the UCL next season, so they must be able to improve their performance again next season so they can compete with other top European teams.

you are right Lazio has taken advantage of the lackluster performance of Serie A teams this season. and qualified for the Champions League by finishing second in the table. However, they will want to do well in both the Champions League and Serie A platforms next season. For this, they need to strengthen the team. If the attack is not strong enough, they will not be able to play well in a competitive platform like the Champions League. Lazio management should prepare a descent fund.

Anyway, this season was an unlucky season for Juventus, unlucky with a point deduction penalty that made Juventus fail to finish in the top four. So, I think that with Juventus only getting a ticket to the Conference League next season, I'm sure this case has nothing to do with Dybala at AS Roma. However, one thing that I must mark is that there is no easy way to win the title, even though on paper Juventus has a very big chance to win the Conference League trophy next season.

I quite agree with you on that, the old ladies have suffered all through the season with deduction of points, first was 15 second was 10pt and imagine those points weren't deducted I don't think Napoli would have found it that easy to stay up at the table or even winning the title with so much ease. Well the fighting spirit was still high on the old ladies but they did their best to even qualify for the Conference league and I hope the sanctions won't join them when next season begins, it shouldn't be a curse that's following them.
For Paulo Dybala, he wanted to be in that Juventus side but I still can't tell why he wasn't given that much playing time, he was just like a newbie who hasn't gotten any recognition on the Juventus side, if is not starting from the bench then he's nowhere on the starting eleven. His move to Roma was the best decisions he has made even if they didn't win the title (UEL) but he's a key players on the Roma side.

His move to Roma was the best decisions he has made even if they didn't win the title (UEL) but he's a key players on the Roma side.

Well, I believe it was settled to be a one time point reduction which was 10 towards the end of the season. At first, it was 15 points, but in the end, it was decided that ten points were going to be taken away from them. Of course, if the 10 points were not taken from Juventus, they would have probably finished in the second position. But anyway, they have to perform well in the next season. They cannot give up just because they did not get the position that they deserve this season.

Dybala was not given good enough play time, and if he’s in for that was, he was often injured. If not for his injury, I think you could have been playing in bigger clams than Roma.

Juventus faced with unlucky in this season after success appeal with 15 points cut off but finally FIGC success give punishment back with 10 points cut off and made Juventus have dropped to 7th standings position. Its not about Juventus failure for winning scudetto in this season but Juventus loss top fourth standings position and have absent in Champion League next season.

Conference League is not priority by Juventus, I think they will focus with domestic league and how to get back scudetto next season after last winning domestic league tittle on season 2019/20. Better for Juventus focus on domestic league and they have signing some player for filling in defender until forward position prepare for season 2023/24.

Yes, Juventus will need to strengthen themselves to become champions in the next season of the Conference League. It is important for Juventus Kocher to think about these things. If the coach can make each player stronger and more efficient through individual coaching. There is no doubt that Juventus will be champions of any conference league next season. But to compete with strong teams, they have to develop themselves properly

Juventus have lost 10 points this season. However, I will say that I was not satisfied with Juventus' performance this season. Juventus' performances have been very erratic this season. They can't play well. But I don't even think they will win the conference league title next season. Juventus' full focus will be on Serie A matches next season. The Conference League title is not important for Juventus.

It is true that this is how it is does not guarantee how many strong teams are in Serie A and the average of them always has a problem of balanced inconsistency. We can see many examples, especially teams from positions 2 to 6 in the standings this season, it is clear that several of these teams shift each other every week because basically they are not very consistent, but this can also make the league more competitive but the drawback is that each team will lose direction. to determine the end of the season.

For Napoli, I thought that next season they would not be the same as this season and after it was confirmed that Spalleti would not be Napoli's coach again next season, it is clear that the direction of Napoli's ball game will start to be different next season, especially if there are additional players who leave, it will be more adding work became very difficult.

I think Juventus can easily reach the semi-finals even if they don't take the conference league seriously. After the semi-finals, he takes it seriously and goes to the final and easily wins the trophy. Juventus may not take it seriously, as it is normally a trophy in Europe where weak teams compete. Serie A will of course be a priority for them.

You are right, Juventus will still focus on the Serie A league. But seeing Juventus not win the Conference League will be amazing, so I think Juventus will also continue to be full in the conference league but maybe this time Juventus can win the trophy easily, but it depends on who wins. relegated from Europa League, So never take Conference league lightly.

But interestingly Juventus playing in the conference league is like being cursed by Dybala. If Dybala doesn't get a penalty for As Roma's win, maybe Juventus will play in the Europa League.

I am not entirely sure if they will care about it at all, but assuming that losing it would be even bigger trouble for them than winning, I think even if they don't care about the win, they care about not losing it so they will probably do fine.

They already got the punishment so I do not think that there will be something troubling, I do not think that it would be a tough time finding a way to make money that way, so it is not going to be easy, but at the end of the day we are not going to end up with a problem, we are going to see them facing easier opponents anyway so it should be fine. Let's see how it will happen but for the time being I am expecting them to be a lot better in the league and finish around the top, and win the conference league as well.
