Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[klidex]

Osimhen was having a good time in Nigeria back home, he trained with lots of great players back home, even played street football and didn't sustain any injury but I was surprised he got an injury in his first training session which kind of made me feel bad for him, I hope he recovers very soon, the earlier he starts Napoli matches, the better because he will make goals from the beginning and because they are also facing some new teams in Seria A, it will give them the confidence to clear benefits of doubts from the new teams that made it to Seria A.

On the other hand, there was a debate last season that Osimhen wasn't the king of Seria after winning the Golden Booth last season and as the first Afria highest goal scorer in Napolia and Seria A, I want to see what will happen this season, the fans that were rooting for Khvicha will see if it was a blind argument or they were just been racist about Osimhen performance, including the handler of Seria A that was been biased just to gain validation of Italians. Football is fun and entertaining but our differences create boundaries and I hope it ends one day.

As Frosinone gets promoted and Osimhen gets hurt Napoli must strike a careful balance. Osimhen should probably take a break but Napoli cannot afford to be careless. They must maintain their standards right away as the reigning champion especially in a season stacked with potential winners. Every win even over supposedly inferior opponents is essential for a successful title defence. Consistency and alertness from Napoli will be crucial in ensuring that they rise to the occasion and give Osimhen the time he needs to rest and improve their attacking prowess.

Job was a bit tougher for Rudi Garcia as Victor osimhen had to take short break due to a foot problem and Garcia had to find other alternatives to temporarily replace Osimhen with another player who could slightly match Osimhen performance.
I am sure Rudi Garcia knows that if he is appointed as coach at Napoli, he will be given the responsibility to build Napoli, still as strong last season, to defend title they won last season.
Several reserve player can still be used to replace Osimhen position and at least it seems that Napoli must use the best defensive formation because even if they not score, at least dont concede too many goals so you dont miss too many points.

[marcous]

Ac milan also has quite a good change that they have done in the transfer window this summer so I think you should not miss to consider Ac milan as the main contender for the scudetto title this season. Indeed, Napoli still dominates strongly as a team that can win back the Scudetto trophy this season. I think that either Inter Milan or Juventus also have the same chance to thwart Napoli's mission in maintaining the Scudetto trophy this season.

For Juventus, I think they have a lot of targets to improve their pace this season, especially in reaching the top 4 target, although it is believed that this will be easily achieved by Juventus this season.

Agree with you that AC Milan really deserves to be placed at the top of the Scudetto favorite list. Followed by city rivals Inter Milan who last season managed to advance to the final round in the European Champions League. But both clubs have lost some of their important players in the transfer market, I think the arrival of new players can compensate. Then there is AS Roma, I see the factor of Jose Mourinho being able to make Roma talk a lot this season in Serie A.

For Napoli and Juventus I have a little doubt, Napoli lost a coach who was very influential last season. Meanwhile, Juventus are in a difficult condition, various sanctions are coming their way, I hope they can get up soon.

Napoli are going to have a comfortable game on the first week of the new season. It is an away game against Frosinone. They are one of the new teams of the league. It isn't easy for this kind of teams to do a good work against the biggest teams of the Serie A in their first season already. I think it will be the same for Frosinone as well.

Osimhen is injured for at least a few weeks maybe. But Napoli are still a strong team that can deal with their opponent here easily. I just hope to see the same strong mentality from them with Rudi Garcia as well. This is going to be their first official game with him so let's see.

Talking about the game Napoli will indeed be far superior compared to Frissinone as one of the teams promoted to Serie A, but a team like this doesn't have pressure when playing so that it can distract Napoli's concentration in securing full points. Napoli's strength is also not as dominant as it used to be where some of the players they had as core players have gone to other teams and it is very likely that Osimhen will also be unable to play due to his injury.

Frissinone can take advantage of this moment to put pressure on Napoli's defense a little and even if they are unable to get full points, then a draw is enough to distract Napoli's concentration. Test matches still show Napoli's best abilities under Rudi Garcia and we hope this will continue when the competition starts.

[hahay]

From the performance of the Italian teams in the final weeks of last season, Inter Milan looks like the club who would might win the Italian scudetto this season but that doesn't mean that Napoli can't retain the title.
Napoli has done exceptionally well in keeping many members if the team that won the Serie A title last season including their talisman and highest goalscorer Victor Osimhen and that I think will help them in their title defense

I also believe that these two teams will be strong candidates this season to win the title in Serie A. And this weekend we will see how the results for Serie A will start soon, where Napoli will play the promoted team and Inter Milan will face Monza. My prediction is that both of them will get wins at the start of this season because the opponents are not that tough so they probably won't have that much trouble winning.

After all, I'm still very much looking forward to what kind of case there will be in Serie A next season. Because last season I think the cases that happened to other teams, at least enough to benefit Napoli to be able to maintain its position at the top of the table. So, if next season Serie A doesn't have any more cases, and all teams perform as expected. Then of course, the competition will become more competitive and not only about Napoli and Inter.

It isn't easy for this kind of teams to do a good work against the biggest teams of the Serie A in their first season already. I think it will be the same for Frosinone as well.

If no surprise in all matches, football loses its beauty. Frosinone is weaker than Napoli that is the current champion of Serie A but they can have good result for their debut in Serie A 2023- 2024, it's a beauty of football and we should support Frosinone to make a shock.

Osimhen is injured for at least a few weeks maybe. But Napoli are still a strong team that can deal with their opponent here easily. I just hope to see the same strong mentality from them with Rudi Garcia as well. This is going to be their first official game with him so let's see.

Osimhen is like half of Napoli attacking power and his missing will affect them in this match as well as early matches of this season. It is important for Napoli as if they get bad results in early of season, it will beat them down and it's hard for them to recover with pressure to protect their title.

Frissinone can take advantage of this moment to put pressure on Napoli's defense a little and even if they are unable to get full points, then a draw is enough to distract Napoli's concentration. Test matches still show Napoli's best abilities under Rudi Garcia and we hope this will continue when the competition starts.

Rudi Garcia took over the position from Spaletti but it won't be a comfortable job for him. Protecting Scudetto when Inter Milan, AC Milan really want to reclaim it as they are two previous champions and Juventus with the ban from UEFA, will completely focus all resources for Serie A. We have to mention AS Roma with Mourinho will try their best with a last season of Mourinho in the contract with Roma.

Agree with you that AC Milan really deserves to be placed at the top of the Scudetto favorite list. Followed by city rivals Inter Milan who last season managed to advance to the final round in the European Champions League. But both clubs have lost some of their important players in the transfer market, I think the arrival of new players can compensate. Then there is AS Roma, I see the factor of Jose Mourinho being able to make Roma talk a lot this season in Serie A.

AC Milan won Serie A two seasons ago and they lost it to Napoli in the last season but directly won over Napoli in Champions League quarter finals. They will try a lot to win Scudetto again and they will be happy to do this by taking it over directly from Napoli.

Napoli are facing with a challenging season with big changes in their squad and huge challenge, pressure from competitors including AC Milan. It will be so hard for them to protect the Scudetto after all expectation and pressure.

[Velvet78]

Napoli and Juventus have been given a close chance for the Serie A title by bookmakers. But I don't think the same as them honestly. Maybe Napoli played much extra in the previous season but Juventus were still not good enough. Even without the punishment of points they would have still stood far away from Napoli.

I don't feel like there will be a big change happening for Juventus this season either. They haven't even brought many new players. They have just made some of the loanees permanent members of the team. However I believe they need new players for some areas to get stronger.

Then there is AS Roma, I see the factor of Jose Mourinho being able to make Roma talk a lot this season in Serie A.

AC Milan have added several players to their squad this season. AC Milan was not very strong last season. However, their performance was stable. This season they have spent a lot of money to strengthen the squad. I think Milan have managed to build a squad worthy of winning the Serie A title next season. Inter Milan squad is also very strong. The team managed to qualify for last season's Champions League final. This team will definitely aim to win the Serie A title. Serie A will be more competitive next season.

For Napoli and Juventus I have a little doubt, Napoli lost a coach who was very influential last season. Meanwhile, Juventus are in a difficult condition, various sanctions are coming their way, I hope they can get up soon.

The Napoli team played brilliantly last season. I would have considered Napoli as favorites this season too if it wasn't for their coach change. We don't know if new Napoli coach Garcia will be able to strengthen this team.
On the other hand, expectations should not be high from the Juventus team. We have seen some erratic performances from Juventus over the last few seasons. This team is not playing well. That's why I don't expect too much from Juventus in the coming season.

[Leviathan.007]

Serie A will just start the new season at least next week, unlike the Premier League and also Ligue 1 which will start the new season today. There are two matches in the opening match later, they is the match between Empoli against Verona and also, the match between Frosinone against Napoli. For this Frosinone against Napoli match, it can be said to be a match between last season title winners Frosinone won the title in Serie B and Napoli is the Serie A title winner last season. But still, I think this will still be a match that Napoli will certainly win, I personally don't doubt it at all.

It looks like Serie A will be together with the same bundesliga will start competing starting next week. To be honest, I just found out that Frosinone is a promoted team from Serie B who also won last season. This match is quite interesting because even though Napoli are superior they still need to adapt to their new coach and we know that it is not certain that Napoli will be able to get good results in this match. Rudi Garcia is indeed quite doubtful for some people because he is considered not worthy to replace Luciano Spalleti, who managed to bring Napoli to win the Scudetto last season. Of course, this is a match full of surprises and I hope that Napoli will not lose this game later.

Do you guys think that Juventus is going to perform well in this season? If you do think they will perform well, do you guys think that they will be able to challenge for the Serie A title? They have been going through a lot of financial problems so they were not able to upgrade the squad as they probably wanted. So that is going to be a problem for them.

Napoli is going to find it really hard to defend the title. Successfully. The competition has levelled up. So even though they were able to keep Victor Osimhen in the team, it is going to be really hard to achieve for them.

Inter and AC Milan are going to finish in the top four for sure In my opinion. I hope inter is going to be hungry for a better result. At least better compared to the last season.

I'm not sure about the performance of Juventus this season but I know Juventus had many problems in the last season and they lost the Champions League ticket because of that also the team was punished but I know Juventus even in the worst situation can perform much better than last season and we can see Juventus racing to the title with other top teams and even performing better than other teams like Inter Milan.

Victor Osimhen now extended his contract with Napoli and now they signed a new contract with this player however it took some time for Napoli and Osimhen to accept the deal because Osimhen wanted to have a cheaper release fee so if any team sent him an offer they could leave Napoli easier but in the end, 150m is the release fee for Osimhen and he will get 10m yearly to play in Napoli until 2026.
There are not many teams that can pay this massive amount of money.

The details about the release clause are already varying across the Internet and different sources. Here it says 160 million and what surprises me is that obviously no club was willing to pay that amount of money for him this season or otherwise I guess they would have sold him for 160 million this season as well when they are also willing to let him go for the same amount next season. I thought that Osimhen is overvalued at 160 million and he probably is. The coming season will be a good source of data to validate his value. If he scores as many goals and as many assists, he is expensive although I think I would still disagree with 160 million.

I knew that the talks have been in progress but as far as I know there isn't any update on that yet. Osimhen must be taking his time for now. Because he has still 2 more years left on his contract so he doesn't need to rush about it. I think there might not be an extension so soon. He might want to wait for the end of this season and then make a decision on his future. Because maybe he would like to leave the door open for bigger teams next summer first and then decide.

Napoli may not show the same performance as last season this season. Therefore, players should be sold while they are valuable and the club should profit from it. This is true for many clubs. Maybe they will get injured during the season or they will not perform well. So there are many risks in football. I do not find it right to ignore such risks and not sell the player.

I don't know if Napoli received an official and good offer for Osimhen, but I know there are rumors that there are teams from the Arab leagues who want Osimhen. If a football player has had a good season and is likely to be sold for good money, this should be evaluated.

I saw 150 million as the release clause and it will not be activated by an Italian club in the first year. This deal has finally ended the transfer speculations for the Nigerian striker. Hopefully, he will help Napoli to defend the Italian league and assist them in pursuing the Champions League. As regard to release clause, Osimhen is a young player that can improve his performance this season. If he still retains the highest goal scorer in the Italian league this season his worth will appreciate and there will be clubs that will be willing to pay that amount for his signature. Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis wanted to keep Osimhen by all means and €10m per year is also a big win for the player.

[tygeade]

I agree with you with Juventus' difficulties last season financially and the lack of youth squad, it seems to have had a positive impact on the Juventus squad this season, because their young players were able to provide very good resistance from several trial matches a few weeks ago, even though they were detained. draw by Atalanta at least it shows good development for the position of the Juventus standings for the current season, if Massimiliano Allegri can provide a great formation or play attack then the game of young Juventus players this season will be a frightening specter for Serie A clubs this season, because Juventus dare to overhaul their old squad with young players in absolutely prime condition in any case, at least it will benefit Massimiliano Allegri as a good coach and tactician.

the difficulties were really many, financial and also if we want from the point of view of justice, with all the penalties received not least exclusion from the conference league
this season is about recovery, he has to aim and enter the cups and that's it.

They will do as much as they can, it's not going to end up with anything decent one way or another and that is why they need to just focus on building the club back up more than they should focus on success. If any Juventus fans are expecting them to be champions, they are kidding themselves and that should not be the aim.

If they could finish top four that would be a magnificent increase in talent and I would agree that it would be great, but if we are talking about something like 5th of 6th and just basically go to conference league if they could, that would be the place they should be. Allows them to be going back at winning some and also getting some money as well and on the way to recovery after last year.

I can honestly see a problem being created if Napoli cannot defend the title successfully. Well, if they perform well enough, it is probably going to be okay. But if in the upcoming 2/3 seasons, they cannot win the Serie A title, I don’t think Victor Osimhen is going to stay in the club anyway. Personally, I believe that it was certainly going to be a good decision for him to leave and probably join a club from the English Premier League or maybe Real Madrid from La Liga. But of course, I respect that decision that he has taken. He is finding success with his current club and he is trying to see how long that can last in the future.

Many reports say that Napoli are in negotiations for their star player, I predict this will not only be a contract extension but an increase in Osimhen wages and a renewal of his release clause. It makes perfect sense for Napoli to take this step, apart from being able to keep the player at the club, of course, it will fortify Osimhen from offers from other clubs. The figure of 160 million Euros is not a big one, Neymar became one of the most expensive players when he moved from Barca to PSG at a cost of up to 222 Million Euros.

I think Chelsea, PSG and Real Madrid are a series of clubs that don't hesitate to spend that kind of money. But for the rest of the transfer window Al Hilal from SPL can make a crazy offer to Osimhen.

[Pokapoka124]

Osimhen still has 2 more years so he doesn't need to be in a hurry to sign an extension with Napoli yet. He would just concentrate on his game after recovering from his injury.

But after this season ends I think the situation will get really serious for both sides. Because Napoli will have to face the danger of losing him for free if they don't sign a new contract with him. But if Osimhen gets the attention of bigger teams next summer it could be quite difficult for Napoli to attract him into a new contract. Napoli might have to offer too much money compared to now to increase their chance of keeping him.

Nowadays, having two more years on a contract is not a guarantee because the competition between clubs has heightened and every club is seeking for way to improve their squad even if it means hijacking deals for players and spending big, it is wise to always secure the assets in your possession, Napoli should open extension talks this season before they find themselves in a tight situation with just a year left on their cards like what PSG are battling with Mbappe.

Early talks to extend the contract won't happen anymore or they will be rejected by the player and the player's management. Years ago it was the clubs who had full control over a player when there were several years of contract duration left and no release clause implemented, but this has significantly changed since players and their managements acquired a liking for letting the contracts expire and collect huge signing-on fees from the new club. That is also why PSG is stuck because they know that Mbappe probably doesn't really care. If his contract expires, he is going to make another 200m euro as a signing-on fee.

Osimhen won't extend his contract if there is no need for him to do that and I don't really see why it should be otherwise right now. He will be patiently waiting, trying to perform his best this season and then go into negotiations with more leverage than Napoli.

Extension of the contract increases the players market value. He shouldn't have signed such a long contract because he won't service the clyb fir so long.
If Victor Oshime remains consistent and acore more goals on a single calendar year you don't have to bring it up, he is a big name and deserves to be in a better club. Clubs are capable of signing the player has bit he will only be rated whenever he reduces or leaves his current boss.

I honestly keep thinking that napoli is looking at Victor Osimhen as the greatest player in the world and that it would appreciate a lot over time and how they don't want to lose money so they need to sign a long-term contract, but that's all a big deal exaggeration, that's because napoli should focus on first seeing if Victor Osimhen will have good results this season in the european champions league and in serie A, after that they could do a market study to analyze if it would really be worth it to keep giving contracts and contract clauses with absurd amounts like that, but the management of napoli do not even want to think negatively, at least for a short time, they are rushing

but they forget that the market is very imprecise, for example if this season Victor Osimhen does not do well then his price will drop and if they no longer accept paying for the current price then they will not accept paying for his low price, they will want to negotiate and the Napoli, which has already precipitated, won't come out with much profit, they could have sold Victor Osimhen now, but they didn't want to. I doubt that teams like PSG and Real Madrid and the big English teams pay a lot of money for Victor Osimhen, maybe Napoli is marketing to the Arabs, that's the only thing that came to mind


in 5 days the serie A games will start, strange that the odds for napoli to win the game are very accessible, in my opinion it will be worth just betting on napoli to win the game, i also see milan winning in their game, in the case of inter I see that they will have difficulties in winning, the same for Roma and Juventus, while Lazio has a good chance of winning
