Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Ayers]

Inter will playing away match against Empoli today and on Champion league i have to says Inter performance was not too satisfied even they almost be lose from Laliga team Sociedad but luckly Martinez can able to scored before the match ended and today Inzaghi will attempts to managed Inter performance in Serie A because so far their position still at first position and win result is mandatory for them because currently they have same points with Milan

Empoli statistics was very bad that in the last 4 matches they have already conceded 12 goals without scores and this is so far the worst statistics on Serie A so beating this team shouldn't be a big problem for Inter considering Inter is too strong for Empoli and about team condition confirmed Çalhanoğlu will return to play today and this could be a good news because Çalhanoğluis important player for Inter and with the return of this player hopefully Inter will be able to win with big scores again today

I think it is not going to be a big problem for Inter to win against Empoli in the next match. After all, it is the match between a team which is absolutely at the top of the table and another team which is absolutely at the bottom. I definitely do not think it is going to be a loss or even a draw for Inter. If the match ends in a draw I think Inter will feel like it was a loss for them. Anyway, I don’t think they are going to lose. They have not lost even a single match so far. And I do not think that they are going to break that.

Empoli have played four matches so far and they have lost all four of them. So I obviously do not expect them to win this one.

Juventus' first defeat this season was in an away match against Sassuolo and looking at the result, this was actually not too bad a defeat for Juventus. Even so, Juventus failed to get points to widen the gap in the standings again and for Sassuolo this is an additional 3 very important points at home so they can be in a better position.



However, in last night's match there was a quite funny incident between Federico Gatti and goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny, both of them seemed to miscommunicate which ultimately resulted in an own goal for Juventus in injury time. I think Federico Gatti didn't realize he had previously received a pass from Wojciech Szczęsny and instead returned the ball to the goal even though that place had been previously abandoned by Wojciech Szczęsny.

I think it was the most beautiful own goal of the season.

F. Gatti seemed to lose focus at that time. He probably thought that he received the ball from Szczęsny who was standing in front of the goal. What made me laugh out loud was the expression of W. Szczęsny who froze for a moment while watching the ball enter his goal.

Maybe I lost the bet. But I felt quite entertained by the performance of both teams. Both of them attacked each other very well. Several golden opportunities that both clubs had failed to be utilized properly.

@rendravolt Actually, I am going to disagree. I think that was a pretty bad performance from Juventus. they should have done better in this match. I was expecting a win for Juventus in this match. But looking at the end result of this match between Juventus and Sassuolo I think I was going to be happy to see them even get one point from this match. Juventus is in the fourth position of the table. Right now, the difference in points is not very big. But that obviously can change at any time.

And yes, it was actually hilarious to see what happened in this match. Juventus cannot afford to make these kinds of mistakes under any circumstances.

I think Federico Gatti didn't realize he had previously received a pass from Wojciech Szczęsny and instead returned the ball to the goal even though that place had been previously abandoned by Wojciech Szczęsny.

In fact, it was a mistake that a player of his level should not make. This is the first time I have seen Federico Gatti make such a ridiculous mistake. Usually he is quite disciplined and very careful. But maybe it was because the game was almost over. And maybe he panicked and something. Which made him lose focus. He probably also didn't expect that his club would lose to Sassuolo. In fact, if Juventus can win this match then I think Juventus will be able to move up to 2nd place in the standings. And if Inter Milan fails to get points in the next match. Then Juventus can reach the top of the standings. But Juventus had to lose this opportunity. And had to lose surprisingly with a score of 4-2. I think this is quite a painful defeat. But I was amazed by the respect the Juventus players had. Who still applauded when he saw Sassuolo celebrate the victory. When I watched Gatti made a mistake. I could only stare without saying anything. But only after I saw the flashback did I find it funny.

[poodle63]

Juventus was a mess in this match, as they were not serious and didn't show any passion of winning the game. I couldn't believe that they could stoop so low to allow Sasuolo to win them 4-2. This is one of the worst performance since the beginning of this season and if they don't take their matches serious, they will be nowhere on the table. What an impressive performance from Sasuolo and I must say that they deserve the victory.

What a sudden change in the Sassuolo vs Juventus game outcome, Even though Juventus had the majority of the possession, Sassuolo effective offensive plan ended up being the difference maker. Federico Gatti own goal in stoppage time was truly shocking. I Think Juventus appears to need to improve their focus and organization, especially in light of Szczesny's last-second error. They are no longer as competitive in their pursuit of Inter Milan, who have a perfect record and appear unstoppable. The competition for Serie A just got more interesting

I was also surprised by the result of the match. Even though the biggest blame is Szczesny, I think it's the team's fault. Allegri said that their team lost focus because they conceded first. I also saw that the Juventus players were surprised when Lauriente scored a quick goal and that was the difference in this match.

I don't even think it's zesny's fault. Zesny has been passing properly to the gatti but the main problem if gatti was losing his focus. It makes gatti was wrongly passing the ball to the goalnet instead of back to the cezny. I think that if gatti needs to be blamed here.
Gatti can properly pass it to his teammates if he was ready for that. I don't know why people are blaming cezny instead of gatti. Gatti needs always ready when it was still in the game.
It's not cezny's fault. Gatti was not ready to receive it and i hope gatti will able to learn from his mistake during the match against sassuolo. It will be so good to have him play again in upcoming match.
Allegri must have done some evaluations.

I agree with you. Because here, however, Gatti was the one who lost focus when receiving the ball from W. Szczęsny. So the mistake was clearly made by Gatti who was too hasty in returning the ball. He panicked because Sassuolo players approached him. But W. Szczęsny also made a little mistake here. because he didn't rush back towards the goal quickly. He was just running a little at that time. Maybe W. Szczęsny didn't expect Gatti to return the ball back. Because actually in front there is one Juventus player who is in an empty position. But Gatti seemed too panicked when Sassuolo players approached him quickly.

Szczęsny made mistakes for the 1st and 3rd goals. In the third goal he could have sent the ball in a different direction. Szczęsny made no mistake in the 4th goal. He couldn't have caught the ball even if he turned quickly in front of his goal. It's all the fault of the defense.

I think Juventus were good in the game, they didn't take advantage of the positions they had. They had many positions but luck was not on their side. I don't want to say anything about their play because they lost the game because of mistakes, because they played the way they should have played but the opponent scored more goals.

Lazio season is going from bad to worst lately as they barely made a draw with Monza and I can't see good things happening to Lazio for the rest of the season. Sure , they are present in UCL groups and made a very lucky draw in the last minute of the game but besides that , they've played almost nothing. They didn't invest a lot in transfers ,they have the same old players for a lot of seasons already and some of them lost their touch or the hunger for performance and trophies.

Meanwhile , Inter is going like a clock in Serie A with only victories on the line and they are about to add another one against Empoli as they lead 1-0 with 10 minutes until end of game. 

[Weawant]

This was definitely a bad performance from Juventus. They should have been able to win this match. The performance was not good at all from Juventus. They were not able to do anything good in attacking. They had 15 shots and only two of them were on target. That's how bad the accuracy was for Juventus in this match. They had to do better, especially when they wanted to stay at the top of the table.

I hope they will be able to improve their performance. Because if they keep performing like this, it is going to be a problem. this was the first loss for Juventus this season by the way. they had been performing pretty well so far, however in this match, probably it was just a bad day for them. They will play Lecce in the next match, I really hope that they will be able to do better than this in that match.

Actually Juventus would have won the match except for their mistakes which cost them the match. They made several mistakes from the first half to the second and couldn't make up for it before it became late, sasuolo was actually brilliant enough to make use of every of this opportunity that disguised as mistake because they know if they don't make use of the opportunity Juventus was not going to let them win.

In their next game against Lecce I'm very optimistic Juventus will not allow that which happened between them and sasuolo repeat itself as they need that win to climb up the table. It was only mistakes that cost them that game which I'm sure to a great extent Juventus will not make such mistakes again as they will improve to make sure they win.

The last game Lecce played was against Genoa where they won by one goal (1-0) the did well in that match but I still don't see them matching up with Juventus except they will only try to make it not a very easy win for Juventus but they will be at disadvantage as Juventus is hosting so the will definitely have that home advantage and would not want to suffer a second loss at home.

Many people complaining about AC Milan and their coach Stefano Pioli because of the results they got recently and especially because of losing the game against Inter Milan a few days ago.
But Marco Tardelli the Italian legend started defending Stefano Pioli and he said Pioli is not alone and the players also made some mistakes, also he said Pioli made a mistake in letting other people (Ibrahimović) make a gap between him and the fans to put Pioli under pressure.

It's important, imo, to take a balanced stance when discussing the situations surrounding Stefano Pioli and AC Milan. Indeed, the latest setback against Inter Milan hurts, and there's no shortage of criticism. Not to be forgotten, though, Pioli has led the squad to significant victories over his four seasons in charge. I concur with Marco Tardelli that Pioli is not the only person who must deal with a single setback. The participants also bear some of the blame. It's simple to place all the responsibility on one person, yet football is a team sport where everyone contributes to both triumphs and losses. Everyone has bad days, Pioli and AC Milan included, but I think they can recover and take the applause and criticism in their stride

They didn't invest a lot in transfers ,they have the same old players for a lot of seasons already and some of them lost their touch or the hunger for performance and trophies.

Lazio tried to maintain its spot in Serie A without making interesting investment and ended up being in the 15th place. They are just behind Roma which still didn't play its game vs Torino today.
Lazio should wake up if they want to compete in an European league next season..

Meanwhile , Inter is going like a clock in Serie A with only victories on the line and they are about to add another one against Empoli as they lead 1-0 with 10 minutes until end of game.  

Inter won 1 - 0 vs Empoli. Well they got 3 points but they could score more in Empoli which lost its 5th game in a row with 13 goals received and 0 goal scored after 5 rounds!
Inter started getting some distance from Milan and Juve which lost badly by 4 goals to 2 vs Sassuolo.

I was also surprised by the result of the match. Even though the biggest blame is Szczesny, I think it's the team's fault. Allegri said that their team lost focus because they conceded first. I also saw that the Juventus players were surprised when Lauriente scored a quick goal and that was the difference in this match.

Actually, there were many differences in this match and one of them was the own goal scored by both teams in that match. However, on the one hand, I was also surprised by the defeat experienced by Juventus at home to Sassuolo with that amount of score, even though Juventus were able to equalize in the second half when Federico Chiesa scored a goal for Juventus. But what was very surprising was the own goal at the end of the match which was clearly very profitable for Sassuolo even though Sassuolo could also have won without the own goal.

There are a lot of questions for Wojciech Szczesny in this match. Because the first goal should not have happened, because Sassuollo's shot was strong, but it can be taken, and the 4th goal against Juventus is really a nightmare. It seems that Federico Gatti and Schensny played for the first time. why Schensny in the 95th minute gave a pass back to a defender who was under pressure is a big mystery.

Sassuollo's third goal when Schensny deflected the ball in front of him and Pinamonti put it into the goal is probably also entirely on the Juventus goalkeeper's conscience. In general, 3 goals out of 4 goals happened thanks to unconfident play of Wojciech Szczesny and when your goalkeeper plays like that the team has few chances to win.

I think Juventus under estimated Sasuolo and that's why they failed to secure 3 points, they kept making careless errors in defense especially Gati who was in very poor form and made most errors that lead to goals, i think he should be benched for a while and more playing time should be given to Rugani, at this point Juventus are supposed to be one of the best performing team this season cause they're not playing in any of the major competitions therefore they should be fit enough to perform well on the pitch,Juventus needs to put themselves in order and start performing better if they want to go far in the league this season

 If same error occurs again in their next match against Lecce then I'll know that the team is not in good shape to challenge for the title this season and still needs to strengthen several areas of their squad depth, but I think they're the preferred to win the game and a second consecutive lose is not an option for them.

Even so, Juventus failed to get points to widen the gap in the standings again and for Sassuolo this is an additional 3 very important points at home so they can be in a better position.

I think Federico Gatti didn't realize he had previously received a pass from Wojciech Szczęsny and instead returned the ball to the goal even though that place had been previously abandoned by Wojciech Szczęsny.

I think it was the most beautiful own goal of the season.

F. Gatti seemed to lose focus at that time. He probably thought that he received the ball from Szczęsny who was standing in front of the goal. What made me laugh out loud was the expression of W. Szczęsny who froze for a moment while watching the ball enter his goal.

Maybe I lost the bet. But I felt quite entertained by the performance of both teams. Both of them attacked each other very well. Several golden opportunities that both clubs had failed to be utilized properly.

I think at least even if you lose the bet, thanks to the own goal you can forget about the loss. However, I also couldn't stop laughing at the absurdity of Federico Gatti and perhaps after the match ended he was laughed at by all his teammates.

Apart from all that, I agree with what you say and maybe this time Juventus' positive trend must end, but they also must not be discouraged in the next match because the season is still long and their target of returning to European competition must at least be achieved.

[Doell]

Udinese currently is struggling to get full points in the match against Fiorentina, but their performance is still not good, because currently Fiorentina is leading with a one score by Lucas Martínez Quarta in the 32nd minute. First half has finished, although there's still a second half but I'm not too sure that Udinese can win, also even though they are playing at home but Fiorentina defense is very tight there.

This defeat was very surprising and entering the 80th minute was like a disaster for Juventus because two goals were scored against them from Sassoulo players and from their own players, this defeat was very unfortunate, and it seems that just playing in domestic competition does not guarantee them to play more good because you can focus more.
And Inter Milan, who won the match against Empoli even though with a narrow score, further strengthened its position as leader of the standings and it is quite doubtful that Juventus will remain a strong challenger for Inter Milan this season, and it would be better for Juventus to focus on being in the top four so that they can play in the competition Europe next season

[coinlocket$]

Inter won again, as I said before they will win easily this year.

A probably missing penalty for Empoli but again Var do not count for them.

[hahay]

First half has finished, although there's still a second half but I'm not too sure that Udinese can win, also even though they are playing at home but Fiorentina defense is very tight there.

Also although Udinese played at home, and also at least Udinese had good dominance in this match. But somehow, Udinese is still difficult to make goals and thus, Fiorentina is able to take advantage of counter attacks to be able to make goals. But yes, related to Udinese's performance so far this season also the fact that Udinese is experiencing bad results because after all, of the four more Udinese played before also the fact that Udinese still could not get a victory at all. So yes, with the bad trend that is happening to Udinese this moment, it looks like Udinese does not have a chance to win in this match too.

[Raflesia]

Inter won again, as I said before they will win easily this year.

But actually only 1 goal for the many chances they had this is very little for me because I expected more victory not only a narrow victory from Inter but indeed even so they are still very good in this match and this is their 5th consecutive victory which makes the points perfect especially with very good goal productivity and they only conceded 1 ball so far.

Hopefully, their annual illness will not come this season where when they are in good form it will turn bad in no time.
