Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[red4slash]

I started noticing Napoli's decline in performance towards the end of last season,  they were unable to win some games which I was thinking they were not serious with their games because of enough points they had. Napoli declining in performance is just as the same as their performance towards the end of the season and now it is becoming serious that they haven't been able to win two of their previous game, I just hope it doesn't continue this way.

To be honest in this case I think we cannot associate things that happened last season with now because however in terms of conditions and the framework that exists in Napoli is different in terms of attack schemes and conditions where the coach and some players like Osimhen at that time were in the process of adapting back from the injury he received.
But for the dangerous situation for Napoli's performance I quite agree because if they continue like this then the possibility of them returning to the Scudetto this season will be difficult so there needs to be some improvements to be made.
Currently after some pretty good matches for Napoli at the beginning of the season slowly their slick performance began to fade and this must be seriously thought of by Rudi Garcia on how to restore their performance.

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.

Well true, maybe in terms of performance they are not much different, but they remain at that point, but at the same time other teams are improving so the difference between them and Napoli is narrowing compared to last season.
We can mention some teams that are improving now, Juventus for example, I see an improvement from them compared to last season and that makes them able to compete better this season.
I'm not surprised when many end up attributing this directly to their coach, it's something that's not new anymore.

[asriloni]

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.

At least spalletti knew better than rudi garcia. I didn't even expect napoli's management would take rudi garcia which has been sacked by al nassr as a new appointment, which was a horrible decision.
Napoli was still on its easiest run this season. The club will struggle once it will face stronger team. I think that napoli will not be able to handle it.

Took garcia as a new appointment was absolutely a joke from the management. The decision making from rudi garcia sometimes didn't make any sense.
Napoli was unbeatable last season once it was winning scudetto but the different performance has been shown by the club. Lost against lazio and draw against braga enough to explain everything.

It's hard napoli to repeat the same result with the new coach. Rudi was a terrible coach.

[giammangiato]

Inzaghi is really very calm in various conditions and what's great is that he doesn't show excessive gestures of confidence even though he is on the right track. He is aware that it is still very early to forget the euphoria because the challenges are still quite long at both domestic and European levels. But I am sure that if all Inter players are able to maintain a conducive team situation and have full trust in Inzaghi, then it is very possible for them to win the Scudetto title.

Yes i agree with you about Inzaghi.

Inter victory against Milan 5-1 shows how essential it is for the players of a football team to work together. When each player passes the ball accurately, defends with determination and supports each other, the team becomes stronger.

This collaboration is essential to score goals and prevent opponents goals. In essence, football teaches us that the success of a team depends on the ability of different players to work together towards a common goal. Inzaghi join all players togheter in a strong team

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.

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.

Agreed about this all from start of the season they were able to secure few good wins which give them advantage, and they have good lead from their opponents as well which help them to create pressure on teams, so they take this all in style but now in this season we have things are completely change and Napoli is on decline which are creating pressure on them which is surely going to have problem for them as well Luciano Spalletti and Victor Osimhen both were at their best which helps them for keeping things on track but in this season they have new coach Rudi Garcia which is having task for defending the title and keeping things on high note which is surely not easy.

Mostly having difference view about the Luciano Spalletti decision about stepping down from his spot but as we know Napoli is unpredictable side and things never been easy to defending title in Serie A so with this all it's look like this was good decision now we have to wait about new coach and his strategy about defending title.

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...

Expectations were high for this match specially after having impressive start of season for the Verona, but this match completely turns into awful with nothing positive happen for both teams and in second half we have good dominance for the Bologna, but they were fail to score any goal but still good at the end they were able to secure one point which bring them to 11th spot in league table.

Verona after having impressive start of this season now going onto their regular spot with usual performance this match was not good for them and after having defeat now draw and next match is going to play against AC Milan which is also having same situation things looking not good for the Verona because with this next defeat they can lose their confidence and rank could be also dropped.

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.

AC Milan are struggling so far against Newcastle in their Champions League Group F opener. So far 40 minutes of playing time have passed but neither team has been able to score a goal so far. Newcastle are playing well enough considering their opponents AC Milan. If new castle had played badly, Milan would have been able to score by this time.  

Since 40 minutes of the first 45 minutes are already over, I don't think any team can score in the fast half. The result of the game will be decided in the next 45 minutes. The way the 2 teams are playing, it looks like the game will stay this way. But if some half chances come then those half chances must be converted into full chances, the team which can convert the half chances into full chances will win.

Inter Milan played with a collective team and the 5 goals that occurred were how good the teamwork was and Inzhagi involved all the players to be able to contribute to scoring goals. Success with team working make easily for Inter Milan winning over 5 goals from AC Milan and important thing with Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Hakan Çalhanoğlu playing well in midfielder or vital position. Good finishing from Inter Milan attacking line how success with tactical from Inzhagi and he can change Inter Milan games play more offensive but keep solid with defensive.

Its dreaming victory for Inter because different atmosphere when winning with other and rival team, more confidence for upcoming after Inter Milan victory from rival teams.

It's second halve, 0-0 on the scoresheet, the game moving as I presume it to be. Both sides have not made the differences perhaps when it comes to attempts, AC Milan have the upper hand, let's see if they would be able to thrash the magpies. AC Milan having tough time to beat Newcastle in the opening leg of UEFA Champions League. I was expecting more pressure on Newcastle because these players are novice when it comes to elite football. While Eddie Howe is trying his possible best to match up strength with Stefano Pioli, challenging for them.

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.

After just four matches things looking not suitable for the defending champions because their performance is having no consistency and Victor Osimhen is also not having aggression like last season if things keep going like this surely they could be suffered badly because right now at the top we have three teams which are giving their best and can create gape from them but still we can expect good changes from the Rudi Garcia because he is experienced campaigner and have ability to bring changes.

But, we need few quick and positive changes because if few other teams also able to have improvement then surely pressure will be on Napoli for the better performance, and they can suffer with this all situation right now Lazio, Roma and Atlanta are also had inconsistency which is helpful for the Napoli to regain their performance and spot as well.

AS Roma have amazing performance last night after winning over 7-0 from Empoli, its good recovery after have poor performance in last three matches and winning with bigger score will make AS Roma over confidence upcoming match in domestic league and Europe League. Special performance with Romelu Lukaku success opening first goals for AS Roma and he answers Roma fans have believing and give opportunity for him. Success got three points against Empoli make AS Roma move few position above after have been in relegated standings position before and right now move up until 12th standings placed. Good capital for AS Roma winning over Empoli for upcoming match in Europe League against Sheriff and Jose Mourinho have winning Europe League tittle for getting slot automatically to Champion League next season if fail finish on top fourth standing in domestic league.

Truly crazy performance by Roma, a result that makes it clear that Roma really exists
I think that Jose Mourinho`s detractors should now admit that they were wrong, he may not like him as a person, but as a coach he is really very good. 7-0 mean this.
Roma demonstrated uncompromising superiority over the opposing team, which went into total panic

Yes Jose is a great coach, he is rude but good.

Empoli defeat with a score of 7-0 is very humiliating and clearly highlights the importance of a solid defense in football. A real defence.

A robust defense is essential to protect your goal and limit your opponents opportunities to score. Empoli go mad with Roma play and without an effective defense, a team risks conceding goals frequently, and it happen for total 7.

I think that Empoli seriously risks going to Serie B if they dont reverse the trend.

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?

That's true, there are situations where people could only make predictions and assumptions and we could not really know what's going on. This is why I keep telling people that Maguire could be actually better than what we think as well.

Think about it, that dude played under 3-4 different managers at United, and all of them kept him, if he was as bad as we think he was, don't we think that managers would just cut him from the squad the moment they get a chance to do it? They would all tell the team to get a defender urgently and get rid of him. He must be great at training to keep getting a chance, obviously injuries to other players matters in that sense too. We will never be able to understand what a manager thinks when they do something.

He is aware that it is still very early to forget the euphoria because the challenges are still quite long at both domestic and European levels. But I am sure that if all Inter players are able to maintain a conducive team situation and have full trust in Inzaghi, then it is very possible for them to win the Scudetto title.

It can be said simply that Inter Milan has players who are able to work together strongly without relying on other players, but all the players in this club play an important role in being able to play optimally to score a score that can give victory at the end of the match and I really like Inter Milan performance against Milan's brother in yesterday's derby match, it was very clear that the two clubs had differences and it was just that Inter was superior to the strength of the teamwork of players who were always looking for ways to score.

But, because Milan seems to get a closer schedule too meaning, Milan only has a few days break to prepare his team to play in the Champions League. Then maybe, that factor also makes Milan get a little more difficult pressure because of the fact, Milan also only draw 0-0 in the Champion League. With results like that, then I might say that Milan still don't have good preparation to face a schedule like this, so it has a bad impact on their performance too. But yes anyway, I also still recognize that Inter are basically better than Milan, and I think Simone Inzaghi has really succeeded in forming a great team for Inter.

What is the point of talking about a game when you only look at the result and do not mention that AC Milan played physically and mentally strong against Newcastle United and was by far the better team? It is sometimes that no goal is scored and this was one of those games, but that doesn't mean they played a bad game and they were tired or anything. If you look at how the Champions League game went, you would normally say that it was the opposite, that AC Milan really bounced back from their disappointment against Inter. This game was encouraging in my opinion and the result was bad and disappointing because these three points could have been theirs if they wouldn't have been totally out of luck with their shots on target.

[lalabotax]

Empoli defeat with a score of 7-0 is very humiliating and clearly highlights the importance of a solid defense in football. A real defence.

Yes, Empoli is actually not doing well this season. Since the start of the season, they have always lost, never drawn or won in Serie A. The peak of their misery was when they lost badly to Roma yesterday. Yes, this is really sad. In fact, in the past, even though the club wasn't a favorite club, it wasn't this bad, right? They seemed to have to try to be more optimal, at least occasionally achieving a win or a draw. With such bad results, this really brought down the players' mentality, so that they increasingly had very low motivation. Zanetti must be able to immediately end this series of defeats and restore Empoli's mentality and performance to the best possible level. If not, he deserves to be replaced. But the problem is whether it will be different if the coach changes, and whether they have enough funds for that. On the other hand, players must also be able to optimize their performance and the tactics given by their coach well. This is a quite complex problem for Empoli. A small club that is really in danger of relegation if it continues like this.

AC Milan is not in bad form and I can't understand why some people think after the game they lost against Inter Milan, and because of the results they got in that game we should say AC Milan is in danger.
AC Milan is still racing on top of the table in Serie A which is good enough for them, also they got a 0-0 result against Newcaslte while we know Newcaslte is not a weak team.,
Regarding the game between Inter Milan and AC Milan, we should not forget some layers in AC Milan were in bad form and injured.

You can't say that a team that conceded 5 goals from their biggest rival in the derby is not in bad form. As a result of this score, they experienced a serious demoralization. In order for this not to turn into a crisis, they must win their next match and show that they have forgotten this match. Otherwise, the bad situation will continue for Milan. They finished today's Champions League match goalless and the performance was poor. Only Leao could score a goal in the Inter match and now they finished a match without scoring. Milan needs goals from Pulisic and Giroud and other players have to push harder to score as well.

Jose Mourinho has a rough character, but the appearance of that character will be seen if his team loses because he is like that. Indeed, this big victory made Roma stop bad trend and return to winning ways. However, can they maintain their pace consistently in every match because Roma is often unstable in their playing performance. Sometimes they can play quite well but they have great difficulty scoring goals.

This season Roma will not be able to compete with Inter Milan in the race for the title, because Inter Milan has progressed quite well this season by sweeping the first 4 matches with wins. I think that since Roma succeeded in bringing in Lukaku, their front line strength has become more aggressive and I hope that Jose Mourinho can polish Lukaku into a truly aggressive player who can score lots of goals this season.

Newcaslte's goal keeper was man of the match. I must admit how great the performance from newcastle's goal keeper is by blocking so numerous attacks from acmilan. The groupstage becomes even harder, caued by acmilan and newcastle are equal even though milan had advantage to play as sansiro. It's a very good result for newcastle caused by milan unable to get full points against it.

It's amazing to see that how newcastle's goal keeper was always punching the ball. Newcastle's defender seem still awkward to play in UCL competition. I saw that how they were not able to play as usual like in EPL.

This time Jose Mourinho got what wanted to get.  
Jose Mourinho is a great coach for any team but in the last season he didn't have a player to fill Dybala's place when he got injured and that's why this team couldn't have the good performance we were expecting to see from them in Europe League, but this time they got Lukaku in their teams. However, I think Lukaku is not in good form and made many mistakes this summer but I'm sure this palyer can help Roma in this season.
