Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Weawant]

We know Inter Milan had an amazing performance and they won the game against AC Milan because of the great performance they had, also Inter Milan was in the last Champions League's final match, this shows us this team is probably the best team in Italy and Serie A but still their coach Simone Inzaghi, made a wise move and he said they are not still the best teams in Italy to decrease the pressure on his players and that's how he can help the teams even in the conference after the game.

It was a soothing game as every moment was worth the while, from the start to finish Inter Milan was seen to possess the whole game with an excellent play style which earned them their deserved victory against their opponent who was beaten to a flawless victory, even after the game we could see that the players showed an optimistic look that indeed it's going to be a good season for them.

I must commend Simone inzaghi as he has proven to be outstanding amongst his colleagues in the Italian league, his choice of formation, tactics and style of play is one that deserves all commendation as it all seems to sit well with his players hence it became evident in their performance against their opponent and in the overall league games so far.

This excellent performance of theirs was what lead them to been at the champion's league finals last season where they performed brilliantly against Manchester city, they weren't the winners but they had an outstanding performance deserving enough for them to be known as the best team in Italy so far even if the coach is given a disclaimer, I think it's a way to ease up the pressure on his team but then he is a good coach with a good team aswell.

Inter still holds a good winning record over opponents Milan in derby matches. Milan really performed poorly, especially in defense, but the lack of opportunities they were able to create throughout the match was also Milan's weakness. Of course I was disappointed with the result, but it was clear that Inter was the favorite team to win the derby.

So Milan suffered their first defeat of the season and I hope they can recover and take advantage of another game to get full points. Milan needs to learn a lot from defeat after defeat against Inter so that in the next match they can stop this bad record and start a new era.

Yes, Inter Milan can be said to have improved a lot compared to last season. The defeat suffered by AC Milan is a matter of pride for Inter Milan, that they deserve to be favored and make it the best club in Italy Serie A.
Simone Inzaghi really needs to be appreciated because thanks to him, Inter Milan is now the strongest club in Italy and is not easily defeated.

Torino achieved their second win again after beating hosts Salernitana last night with a score of 0-3 without reply. Indeed, Torino should be able to return to consistency after their first two matches only drew and lost. I think they are back on track to establish their position in the middle table like last season.

Meanwhile, another match between Verona and Bologna ended in a draw with no goals scored. Even though I hope one of these teams can win again, especially Verona, who has performed quite well so far and it seems that this time they are having quite a hard time beating their opponent. I think the next match will not be easy either because they have to play Milan and of course this match will completely be a win for Milan.

Salernitana is a team that has qualities below Torino, so Totino really deserves to win in this match and Torino's winning streak does indicate that they are on the right track.
For the next match, Torino will face strong teams Roma and Lazio, that will be a real testament for them.

Verona and Bologna are mid-table teams in Serie A that have almost the same quality and the match between the two teams was quite fierce so it ended in a draw, I was very disappointed that there were no goals in this match because on the single bet I placed over goals.

Since Spalletti left his coaching chair, I see Napoli will find it difficult to maintain its performance like last season. This season I did not work on Napoli at all to return to victory like last season, because some conditions in the team have changed.

Another thing that makes it difficult for Napoli to compete is because this season Serie A competition is also increasingly competitive, I see that some teams are very stretched to polish their squad so that they are stronger, I also assess this season the competition will not be dominated by one of the teams like what kind of team that has been Napoli was conducted last season which they managed to leave their opponents with a difference of points quite far.

It is almost impossible for Napoli with their new coach to match their performance like last season, last season was Spalletti's best season with Napoli.
And indeed these doubts were already visible at the start of this season. The fans' high expectations and the huge burden on Napoli's new coach made them look very bad at the start of this season, especially in their last 2 matches now where they couldn't win the match.

And it is also very realistic when we realize that the competition in Serie A this season is quite fierce because several top Serie A teams have risen and become even better, such as AAC MIlan, Inter Milan and also Juventus.

First, we should stop attributing the success of Napoli last year to the former coach, we should rather give kudos to the players, especially Victor Osimhen, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and others. The coach was just lucky because the current key players are still there now and the role they played last season has not changed. It's just about the players as far as I'm concerned, not the coach and even if the former coach did not resign, he wouldn't have had it better than this, only that people do not think right. If he was that good, why was it that it was the last season that his team had outstanding performance? What about the last season and other history of his career?

I don't like people to be too judgmental, and before the last season ended, Napoli didn't perform well toward the end despite being the same coach handling them. What changed then? It was the season's earlier success of the team that made them outstanding and win the league.

I don't agree with what you say. In my opinion Garcia made too many changes all at once at the beginning of the championship and it would have been better to take advantage of a proven team, which had won the previous championship many weeks before it ended (and this explains the decline towards the end of the championship when they had many points advantage over their direct competitors and therefore had an understandable drop in tension), and making small changes and modifications to the formation and game organization during construction and based on the form of its players.

I don't see any special thing with Rudi Garcia performance in four Serie A matches with Napoli, have remaining 5 points left from top standings team Inter Milan looks he can't show best performance from Napoli. Actually is not easy how to be defend champion teams manager with Spaletti success made Napoli winning Scudetto and get many points left from Lazio who stand 2nd placed last season. However very early to claim with bad reputation for Rudi Garcia and need few matches later to see Napoli keep in the winning tittle race or he don't has capacity make Napoli defend their tittle last season. Have several important player left make him need new scheme and build up again Napoli as the winner mentality team and keep fighting for defending domestic league tittle.

Roma played a legendary match. Scoring 7 goals is not an easy task. Sanches and Lukaku's contribution to the game was great. Rome got its first victory in a magnificent way.

That's an excellent result, roma but it's far from a legendary match. Im sorry but we have different opinion. That's not a challenging match for roma. I meant it was only facing empoli. It would be a legendary match if roma would able to beat intermilan with such score.
The performance from roma is still unclear as this club is still going up and down easily. Roma was winning against the worst team in serie a right now. Im not feeling doubt if roma was winning easily with huge scores.

Im waiting roma to face a strong to test whether it's already achieved stability on its performance.

Apart from that, this victory is quite important for the Roma team which was in a downturn at the start of this season and it is also hoped that this 7-0 victory can improve the team's mentality to be able to recover from adversity.
However, don't be arrogant and think that Roma are better this season because this victory is only the first victory they have achieved this season in Serie A and they still have a very long way to go to face this season.

it`s not a question of arrogance, Empoli`s defense was totally lsot, the team was broken and they did their duty
score a goal

the interesting thing instead is to see Lukaku who immediately integrated into the team, like the professional he is. Of course many accuse him of being a mercenary, but who isn`t one today? If you pay him and he does his job we are all happy.

I agree with most of your post, but I also think that sometimes as outsiders it is easy for us to have opinions. I actually have the same opinion like you, but we have to admit that we don't see the team at training sessions. Signaling to the team that the first eleven is set in stone because of what they achieved last season isn't necessarily the right path of action for a new manager. If it works out when he changes a lot, then he is the hero but if it doesn't he will immediately have to deal with repercussions from the public, the fans and perhaps the team itself. It's often a fine line for new managers and really, a manager taking over a team that just won the title with 16 points ahead of the 2nd can essentially only lose. What is left there for Garcia to win?

Have several important player left make him need new scheme and build up again Napoli as the winner mentality team and keep fighting for defending domestic league tittle.

In fact, the strategy made by Rudi Garcia at the start of the season was not much different from the strategy made by Spalletti last season. It's just that the composition of players at the Napoli club has changed slightly. And this cannot be avoided because several main players leaving Napoli clearly could not be avoided in the transfer market yesterday. For example, Kim Min Jae, who has now moved to Bayern. And Garcia has to fill the position left by Kim Min Jae with another player whose quality is not as good as Kim Min Jae.
Currently it is still too early for us to make an assessment whether Napoli still has hope or not to compete for the title with other top teams. So let's see the next matches.

In two days Napoli have a match in the UCL against Braga. And if Napoli are still in good form. So Napoli should be able to win this match quite easily.

[TastyChillySauce00]

I didn't expect such goals difference between Roma and Empoli although I were sure Roma will win. When I saw the number of goals scored I wondered if Lukaku was the one scoring much or if he scored hattrick. It turns every player scored once and Dybala scored twice. So yeah congratulations Roma for this nice result.

Important points for Roma in their first win of the season after losing two games and a draw in one. Lukaku also scored one of the goals that was distributed among the other players in their team. Roma have already been left behind with teams like Inter Millan not losing any game yet, and other teams like Juventus, AC Milan and Napoli contesting for the first and top four position on the league table. Still plenty games to play and if Roma can continue in this fashion that they have started, it will be good for the.

Roma will face sheriff which is one of weak club in europa league but it will be also facing torino. Torino would become the first test for roma caused by torino has been performing so well and it was on top 10 of serie a right now.
Roma will able to climb up as long as the club will able to beat it. Even though i would not take roma in that match.

I will prefer to take both team to score between roma vs torino rather than believing myself if roma will win the game. Roma was always disappointed me since the previous season when it was facing sevilla in the final of europa league.
Enough is enough for me to keep my patience. It's hard to bet on this club caused by roma is most inconsistent club in serie a.

Sometimes it can play good or bad depending on its mood.

Torino achieved their second win again after beating hosts Salernitana last night with a score of 0-3 without reply. Indeed, Torino should be able to return to consistency after their first two matches only drew and lost. I think they are back on track to establish their position in the middle table like last season.

Meanwhile, another match between Verona and Bologna ended in a draw with no goals scored. Even though I hope one of these teams can win again, especially Verona, who has performed quite well so far and it seems that this time they are having quite a hard time beating their opponent. I think the next match will not be easy either because they have to play Milan and of course this match will completely be a win for Milan.

Verona vs Bologna turned out to be a boring match... I thought that Verona could win or at least score a goal, but it did not happen... Generally I like Verona's games, but they are always unpredictable... Sometimes they beat the favourites, scoring a lot of goals, sometimes they can't do anything at home...

Talking about Verona, this team is full of surprises and it's not surprising that they often make the favorite team fall into the hole of defeat. I think their performance this time is normal and maybe they will be more motivated when facing opponents who are at a level above them. Because if we look at them they only lost to Sassuolo whose quality was almost the same. Maybe we can't expect much from Verona because basically they are a bottom team and maybe only occasionally surprise and it is difficult for them to maintain their consistency. There is nothing more that can be expected from Verona other than to achieve the same results as last season.

Inter still holds a good winning record over opponents Milan in derby matches. Milan really performed poorly, especially in defense, but the lack of opportunities they were able to create throughout the match was also Milan's weakness. Of course I was disappointed with the result, but it was clear that Inter was the favorite team to win the derby.

So Milan suffered their first defeat of the season and I hope they can recover and take advantage of another game to get full points. Milan needs to learn a lot from defeat after defeat against Inter so that in the next match they can stop this bad record and start a new era.

Yes, Inter Milan can be said to have improved a lot compared to last season. The defeat suffered by AC Milan is a matter of pride for Inter Milan, that they deserve to be favored and make it the best club in Italy Serie A.
Simone Inzaghi really needs to be appreciated because thanks to him, Inter Milan is now the strongest club in Italy and is not easily defeated.

Intermilan would not able to have the strongest squad in serie a like this time without him. Simeone was also able helping intermilan to leave from its financial problem, even though the club was struggling last season but it was able getting a lot of income from going to the final of UCL.
He needs to be appreciated a lot. Simeone was working so hard to give his best for intermilan. Losing dzeko and lukaku at the same time were not problems for intermilan as simeone was able recruiting better players than those two strikers.
It's likely intermilan will go to the UCL final again. Simeone has proven if he was trying so hard to deliver a better thing for all of inter fans. Winning the game against acmilan which is also a strong team in serie a has proven his statement.
Bookies now see intermilan as the srongest team in serie a compared with acmilan and napoli. That makes sense to call intermilan as strongest candidate to win scudetto this season.

Unfortunately, Napoli is in decline and most likely they will not repeat last year's success, although things can still change. If you remember how many times Inter lost last year, I wouldn’t be surprised if they start losing points here and there again.
As for the Champions League, Napoli are lucky that Union Berlin are also on the decline this season, so neither Real nor Napoli should have any problems qualifying. Braga, I think, can be ignored.

When Napoli former manager Luciano Spalletti left his role as the manager of the club after a successful season with the club which he won the Italian Serie A title for Napoli after over 30 years that they never laid hand on the league trophy which they won  back in the 1989/90 season, I was of the opinion that it'll be difficult for a new manager to step in and replicate what he did with the team last season.
The new manager Rudi Garcia without doubt is a good coach but winning the Scudetto in his first season with Napoli will be very difficult for him.

Even if Spalletti had stayed (or any other coach had come), repeating the championship with Napoli would be a very difficult task. Napoli has been one of the big four in Serie A for a long time and is almost as good as Inter, Milan and Juventus in terms of finances and opportunities, but still in this campaign they are eternal underdogs and can take the title either against the backdrop of a decline in the rest or due to a phenomenal series victories like last season. But it’s hard to expect that they can show two such seasons in a row.

Finally someones says this, too. I can't understand how all the experts here really think that the temporary decline in their performance is due to Spalletti having left the club, that's so bullshit...

My take is that Spalletti also left the club exactly because he is a smart guy knowing that this season can never be the same or better than last season. The probability is close to zero for that to happen. That's why he left when Napoli was literally at its peak. The last season was indeed unusually excellent and when there are 16 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss after 19 games, that would have even been amazing for Juventus Turin when they were at their best.

Generally I like Verona's games, but they are always unpredictable... Sometimes they beat the favourites, scoring a lot of goals, sometimes they can't do anything at home...

There is nothing that can be said except that it was boring because both teams were completely unable to score goals in that match. And instead of thinking about the boredom that arises in their match, it is better to wait for AC Milan's match today where AC Milan will compete in the group stage today with an English team that was not in the UCL last season. I'm sure the match will be much more interesting and won't be boring because both teams will fight for victory.

Lol, very funny. If a head coach doesn't make any changes, but why would the team sell some key players? After all, even if the coach doesn't make changes, there will always be players leaving and coming in the transfer window. Therefore, it is very inaccurate if you argue like that about, Garcia who made a lot of changes. After all, no team continues to use the exact same players as in the previous season. Also, no one can blame Garcia, because basically Napoli do not have the quality to be able to dominate Serie A every season.

Garcia will influence the team in any case because he will use his strategy, he will have his training regime and other habits that can affect the team. Whether this will bring the team a better result or not we will see, but without Spalletti we will most likely see a different Napoli. It is normal that the team may change with the start of the new season. By the way, I can say that Inter worked very well in the off-season and they have an excellent chance of winning the Scudetto this season.

But it’s hard to expect that they can show two such seasons in a row.

The performance of Napoli began to reduce towards the end of the last season. The club began to struggle to win games they had to wait longer to win the trophy because they couldn't secure a win or draw. Luciano Spalletti is not a magician but he would have managed the club better than the current coach. The reason is that he already understands Napoli players more than Rudi Garcia. The new coach is struggling to get used to this player and it is affecting the performance of the club. Napoli is facing stronger opposition this season than last season when the top clubs underperformed.

The management of Napoli has to be patient with the new coach. I don't think they should expect him to win the league just like that. He needs time to build a team that understands his pattern of play.  The team still retained some quality players who can still compete in different competitions.

I wasn't expecting an entertaining football from the game between Verona and bologna because these two teams are not know for such and the fact that they don't really have some one in the team to bring us the entertainment even tho we know the sole aim is basically to win but entertainment is also part of the game as it gives the fans more drive to want to watch the match.

The game between AC Milan and the English team in the champions league will be a more entertaining match to watch as against that between Verona and bologna, as the league is different and the game is quite different with high expectations and fantasies, usually it's a pleasure to watch champions league as every moment comes with a different kind of energy that drives fans crazy.

It's true that  Newcastle has not been in the champion's league awhile but then you should also note that the English teams are more experienced with champion's league than others as the premier league which happens to be an English league shares some similarities with champion's league so Lazio should and cannot be too sure if that is enough advantage on it's side.

[HajiBagi]

Roma were superb last night. That win by 7-0 over Empoli must have made the players very happy. Dybala has made a great return as well. He scored two goals in his second league game. Lukaku also scored his first goal for Roma which is really good news to hear. His starting to be consistent at scoring goals again can be really helpful for Roma.

Lukaku has been doing pretty well for Belgium already. But we couldn't see the same effort in normal times for a while. But maybe this goal is a start of a good form for him. Belotti also made a big contribution by the way as he made 2 assists in 30 minutes he played for.

I keep saying that Chelsea did not know the player that will value, but now that Lukaku has scored his first goal since joining Roma, I think they will know what is best for them. Lukaku has a good attitude about playing well in serie A because even when he was playing for Inter Milan, he really made an effort to ensure that he also contributed to the team's goals. Roma's victory over a team by a score of 7-0 is excellent because it will instill greater seriousness among the squad members because Roma still needs to perform well in order to climb the league standings.

Since Lukaku is currently without a team, I believe Roma will be interested in acquiring him on a permanent basis. On the other hand, I doubt Chelsea would welcome him back with the same enthusiasm as before because Lukaku excels in that position for all of his teams in serie A. Lukaku used to be one of the best stricker players in the world, but since moving to Chelsea, things have not gone well for him.

The new coach is struggling to get used to this player and it is affecting the performance of the club. Napoli is facing stronger opposition this season than last season when the top clubs underperformed.

One of Napoli luck last season was because they got off to a perfect start, they were also able to maintain their performance by achieving consecutive wins. Another reason is because their competitors do not appear consistently which makes Napoli superior in gaining a large number of points. The points collected by Napoli are very difficult for their competitors to catch up even though their performance is starting to decline towards the end of the season.
Luciano Spalletti decision to step down from his position as coach of Napoli was very correct, he will always be remembered as one of the most instrumental coaches for Napoli. He is very aware that it will be difficult for him to win the Scudetto this season, other top teams will try to improve their performance in order to win the title race this season.
