Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[hahay]

This season continues with a very bad start for Roma. Currently, they have collected only 5 points in the league and 5 matches are already left. It was a great start for Inter. As Roma start to meet expectations, their chances of getting into the top 4 places in the league may increase.

Roma seemed to have difficulty scoring more goals in several matches played at the start of this season, which left Roma in the very bad condition it is now. And it looks like Roma needs to strengthen their front line to be better so that in the upcoming match Roma can win with more goals so that Roma can improve their position for the better. The coach and the team need to see what problems Roma is experiencing and must immediately find a solution so that Roma can recover more quickly this season.

Lol, I don't think AS Roma can be linked or compared to Inter because after all, from the last few seasons AS Roma also don't have a strong rivalry with Inter. What's more, basically Inter is still consistent with the competition that occurs in the title race. While AS Roma, the reality is that AS Roma are not a consistent team in the title race. Also, maybe I'm quite surprised also about, because what is the reason you say AS Roma needs to strengthen the attack line. While in reality, AS Roma attack line has also improved enough with Lukaku available in the squad, and they can also prove it with a big 7-0 winning when AS Roma defeated Empoli.

No big games but big opportunity to sack someone...

I think the Juventus vs Lecce match is a pretty big match this time. Because Lecce's performance, which has not even lost this season, is considered very surprising by many people. So this fight will be a fight I won't miss. Because I'm curious whether Lecce's performance is really good or they are only good when facing weak teams.

Maybe my curiosity will be answered in this match. And of course my bet is on Juventus. Because after all I can't imagine Juventus losing to Lecce.

Genoa 19:45 Roma

This match brings together two teams that have only won once in Serie A. Of course the big pressure is on Jose Mourinho. How could it not be, recently there has been speculation regarding the dismissal of Jose Mourinho as coach because this season AS Roma performance has decreased significantly from the previous season. Of course, this match is a place to prove for Jose Mourinho that he is still worthy of being Roma coach. Therefore, if Roma can rediscover their best game like when they beat Empoli, then they will have the opportunity to win three points at home to Genoa.

[JeffBrad12]

what I always say, but Jose Mourinho fans don't see the real situation as it is
as a coach he is worth nothing, thanks to Lukaku they got the result
sure he's good (thanks to his name) at attracting talent, but honestly I wouldn't pay him what he wants
there's something better around for less

I think Chelsea made a big mistake by letting Lukaku go on loan to Roma because they're finding it difficult to score goal and is desperately in need of a better finisher than Jonathan to help them and Lukaku would had played that role perfectly this season for Chelsea, he's scored 2 goals in 3 matches so far and it was his goal against Torino that helped them to secure a point, although I expected Roma to win instead of sharing point with Torino.

I remember that pochettino has tried to persuade him but lukaku was refusing pochettino's offer to play in the main club of chelsea.
He prefers to play in serie a which makes him feel so confidence. I can even understand why lukaku did it caused by he knew that if he will not able to get regular time when he would stay on chelsea and play for them.
Lukaku has picked the right choice for his career.
 

Jose Mourinho is  a good coach, with a good coaching records to his name, but I fail to understand what's wrong with his team this, i think theirs something he's not getting right that's why they've been inconsistent, he needs to figure out the right strategy to use that  would bring out the best in his players and start being consistent in wining matches.

The defenders of roma are the worst. The mid is not as good as another team. I gives average score for the attacking line as lukaku was the only one who was helping a lot in send ball to the back of the net.

Agree, the match against Genoa is an opportunity for Mourinho and his team to prove that they are still able to compete and achieve positive results in Serie A.
Yes, everyone knows Mourinho is one of the most famous coaches in the world, and expectations for him are always high. In situations where the results are not as expected, the pressure on him increases. So it is natural that if Roma's performance does not improve, speculation about Mourinho's dismissal as Roma coach will become quite hot news. but I am sure Mourinho will show that he still has the ability to lead the team to achieve better results.
So, this match is not just about getting three points, but also proving your abilities and dealing with the pressure that is on Jose Mourinho and AS Roma.

Juventus 19:45 Lecce

Juventus will face Lecce in today's game and logically they should win, moreover they are playing home. Well I said logically since Juve showed horrible performance and result vs Sassuolo with a catastrophic defeat in the last game by taking 4 goals.
Lecce for the moment are in front of Juve in the ranking, hopefully they will not embarrass them and pick points from them.

In this match Juventus has a bigger chance compared to Lecce and many people will definitely choose or have Juventus as the favorite host to win.
In the last few matches Juventus played quite well but unfortunately in the match against Sassuolo they lost with a landslide score of 4 - 2 but this defeat can be a lesson for Juventus so that in the future they can play better and optimize their performance.

From the Juventus squad there is one attacking player who amazed me a little and started to observe him namely Federico Chiesa and this former Fiorentina club player can also be a mainstay for Juventus in being able to score goals in every match.

I want to see Federico Chiesa score again for Juventus in this match against Lecce.

[KTChampions]

True, lately I always agree with you, dear friend.
Let?s say that it is now predictable from a strategic and tactical point of view, but he still has some aces to play
People don?t take this thing into account, for me he remains a good coach and an excellent strategist, he is also good at distracting and protecting the team!

Lol, if Mourinho still has an ace up his sleeve and or still has a great way, then AS Roma should be stronger in the top four. But anyway, the reality is not at all, so where is the ace you mean?
Try to be able to accept a bad reality like this, because the reality is that even though Mourinho is a great coach. But still, Mourinho also does not always succeed in building a team to get better. Therefore, I personally at least can no longer consider Mourinho a great coach, because after several years have passed, the reality is that Mourinho only gets failure. Although indeed, at least Mourinho can also still give a title but still, what is needed now is a consistent performance and good results and not about instability performance until get a bad result.

What are you talking about? How stable can a game be with a team like Roma? Their composition is not comparable to any of the top clubs.
Tell me at least one coach who would achieve more with Roma than Mourinho - an international title (Conference League) and reaching the Europa League final.
While you are thinking about which coach could be one, think about the fact that with the Italian team, the international title in recent years was won in 2022 and 2010. Mourinho did it both times.

Lecce for the moment are in front of Juve in the ranking, hopefully they will not embarrass them and pick points from them.

The defeat against Sassuolo must of course be an important lesson for Juventus because they were humiliated at home while Sassuolo was below Juventus but unfortunately Juventus were not able to get full points in last week's match. Against Lecce who are above Juventus is of course also not an easy thing even though the betting market favoring Juventus, I still feel hesitant to bet on this match.

I'm also sure that Juventus will avenge yesterday's defeat against Sassuolo yesterday and it's time to restore things because that defeat made Juventus' ranking drop to 4th. At least a narrow win against Lecce tonight is more than enough even though it will definitely be difficult, while Lecce at the start of this season also performed very well. . can't wait to watch this show in a few hours.

[Sexylizzy2813]

I still don't get it with Napoli and their recent performance, like we're talking about the champions of Italian Serie A but with all we have seen it has been proven that they're struggling.
Bologna who are seated at 11th position got a draw against Napoli and the goal machine of Napoli, talking about V. Osimhen who missed a penalty that would have gotten them all 3 point has come to apologize for his behavior after he was substituted in that game.
But something came up where Napoli took to social media in a video that only indicate as a mockery to the Nigerian striker, but is this even necessary?
Mocking a player who scored 31 goals (if I'm not mistaken) in all competitions last season that helped Napoli win the league in a long while is being treated this way, isn't it a racial abuse coming from the Napoli side?

[dezoel]

Bologna away games are usually difficult and Napoli managed to get a point in this difficult away game. Of course, 3 points are very important. They must be very upset not to have won the 3 points. Osimhen fell far below expectations this season. I expected him to play better. This year has been average for Napoli.

It's true, away games at Bologna are always challenging and getting a point is still a significant achievement. Securing three points would certainly be better, however, this result gives the team the opportunity to continue to improve its performance. Regarding Osimhen, sometimes the players experience times below expectations. Hopefully he can find his rhythm and best form as the season progresses. I agree that every season has its challenges and peaks. Napoli have the potential to compete in various competitions, and hopefully they can continue to improve their performance to achieve the best results. 

Bologna has never been easy place but with this all now we have to accept things are not going good at Napoli as well because they are suddenly down and out of the competition with having just 2 points from three games which is surely problem and now in next few days they are going to face troubling time as well even next game is much easier for them at home against relegation zone Udinese after this having opponent high-flying Lecce which is having perfect record at home and third in league table which mean things could be not easy for them if they want to stay at the top they have to give their best otherwise they can feel heat in this season.

Victor Osimhen one of the best but still not giving his best in this season which is also miserable there is no doubt about their quality, but their strategy is surely needing some changes if they want to defend their title with better way.

[rendravolt]

Today is a faster week than before because there will be an opening match between hosts Juventus and Lecce and as we know the previous defeat against Sassuolo will be a big motivation for Allegri's squad to win again at home. Meanwhile, Lecce, as we know so far, has been quite surprising by sitting in 3rd position, making them even more confident in defending their place against Juventus.

In H2H it is quite clear that Juventus is always superior and there is no doubt at all that they will win their meeting against Lecce again this season. If you look at the odds offered by the bookie, Juventus is favored with odds @1.49 and it is quite clear that they will be able to win. But the BTTS option with odds @2.07 is also quite reasonable because after all Lecce will try to match Juventus by scoring goals too. The two betting options above are the best so far.

Lecce has change a lot this season that their defense were very strong and until week 5 they still unbeatable and as mediocre team i think this is good achievement because at least they still able to managed their performance and Lecce is the team with interesting records because from the total 8 goals they scored this season 6 of them were scored in the second half so it proven Lecce is very consistent when the match entering second half

Conceded 4 goals from Sassuolo proven Juventus defensive lines doesn't so good and all of Juventus defensive players looks panic when they were playing under pressure and even Allegri has admit it that Juventus was filled with mostly young players so sometimes they were unable to playing consistent and in this match it shouldn't be happend again and for betting option indeed Juventus has low odds because they are favourite status but i think it's not quite safe because i fear Juventus will be failed to win again and other option just like both teams to scores maybe is more good for this match

I think with statistics like that Juventus have to be more careful, otherwise in the second half there is a possibility that they will concede. Lecce are a pretty consistent team and as you said they have a very good defense for a mediocre team. Juventus certainly hasn't forgotten that last week they were humiliated by Sassuolo with 4 goals and they have to fix it in this match if they don't want it to happen again. That's why I'm quite hesitant about betting on Juventus and indeed the safe option for betting is the one I mentioned before and what remains is that Juventus will at least not concede many goals in this match.

This will be the moment for Juventus to lock in points at home, even though Lecce has performed surprisingly well and have not been beaten in their previous five matches, so that making them in the top three of the standings now. Allegri must try to refresh after experiencing defeat against Sassuolo and if he is unable to implement the right strategy, it is not impossible that Lecce will steal points at home to Juventus.

I prefer the second option if you want to bet and take advantage of the odds @ 2.07, Lecce will definitely try to play optimally so as not to lose points in this match and a draw might be a reasonable consideration compared to winning one of them. Even so, Juventus will probably try to play more openly so as not to lose the best moments in the match because after all they need points to continue to be in the top three of the standings.

I think the Juventus vs Lecce match is a pretty big match this time. Because Lecce's performance, which has not even lost this season, is considered very surprising by many people. So this fight will be a fight I won't miss. Because I'm curious whether Lecce's performance is really good or they are only good when facing weak teams.

Maybe my curiosity will be answered in this match. And of course my bet is on Juventus. Because after all I can't imagine Juventus losing to Lecce. 

I agree about in this sixth round we have only this game which could be most entertaining and tough with Lecce is having surprising start of this season with no defeat in first five game only Inter Milan is other which have no lost but Lecce having two draws and both are on road which mean we can expect a tough job for the Juventus which is coming after having bad defeat against Sassuolo.

Juventus needs to give their best if they want to have better chance for the top spot in coming season because in case of poor result they can face backlash which could be not good for them Lecce never won against Juventus in last six games which is clearly favoring home side, but their current form is surely creating question mark with can they end winning run of Lecce.

Allegri must try to refresh after experiencing defeat against Sassuolo and if he is unable to implement the right strategy, it is not impossible that Lecce will steal points at home to Juventus.

Seriously, I don't expect Lecce to beat Juventus at Allianz today. Lecce has so far been unbeaten in the last 5 matches, but Juventus, who are playing at home, should be able to stop this streak when they are favorites.

We all know that Lecce is a strong team defensively so they have only conceded 4 goals in the last 5 matches. Their striker is also quite dangerous, so far Nikola Krstović has scored 3 goals in 4 matches. Juventus' defense must be wary about Nikola Krstović if they don't want to concede, so there is no real reason why Juventus would underestimate Lecce.

In fact, last season Lecce almost got relegated but who would have thought that Lecce would manage to start this season well. At least this result is also a surprise but indeed, over time Lecce will decline because Lecce does not have the quality to be able to maintain this good result continuously. Also, about conceding four goals in five matches played, I don't think it's a good record either. But yes, because this happened to Lecce, then at least we will also consider it a great result at this moment fo Lecce. But even so, I personally don't think Lecce has a strong defense and therefore, Juventus should be able to succeed in beating Lecce in this match.

It would be great if Juventus did that, but the problem is that this match even though Juventus is definitely the favorite but still it will be a little difficult for them.
Lecce is currently still quite good in terms of performance even if you look at the record at the beginning of this season Lecce is better than Juventus because they still haven't lost and managed to beat Lazio and hold a draw with Fiorentina, which in fact is one of the clubs that is bigger than them.
Juventus will inevitably have to work hard again in this match because otherwise this will not be too good especially with the previous defeat I think they need to make some changes so that they are not too far behind in terms of points.

if we predict from h2h it is very convincing that Juventus will be superior in today match but if we predict from the current performance both of them are difficult to predict even though they are playing at Juventus home ground but Lecce is currently in a very strong condition and is even able to rank third in series A standings make us all a little unsure about which team to bet on.

but to take a small risk I just did a little research on previous performance if Juventus will still be stronger at home even if Lecce is able to match Juventus performance it will end in a draw so I will bet on double chance Juventus or draw. even the odds are very small, I tried multi betting on other teams.

[emrecemsan]

I respect Lecce's start to the season completely. However I would rather be realistic about this match today. I will be expecting a clear victory by Juventus.

I was thinking the same for Juventus' match against Lazio in Turin also. I didn't doubt Juventus in that match despite Lazio's beating Napoli before. I think the same scenario will happen in this match too. Lecce also showed really good performances against bigger teams like Fiorentina and Lazio both. But I don't expect to see the same resistance here.

Juventus can finish the job even in the first half if we see the same concentration level in the Lazio match. I think they will win by a 2-goal difference.
