Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Fiatless]

Seven wins, two draws and one loss are positive achievements achieved by Juventus on the Serie A stage. It must be admitted that Juventus performance this season is very impressive. Absence on the European stage is an advantage for Juventus, they can focus only on Serie A. Their position in the standings is also very good, they are only two points behind Inter who are at the top of the standings.
Juventus chances of winning the Scudetto race are very big, they just need to consistently maintain their best game while the season is still going on. Another advantage is that Juventus focus is not diverted to other competitions, its players have more rest hours because their schedules are not too busy.

Judging from the last five games in Italian Serie A, Juventus is the best-performing side. They have won four games and drew one, while the table topper has also won four but lost one. Massimiliano Allegri has been committed to building a quality team and the club is not doing badly. They have conceived just six goals and scored 16 which shows that they are both defending and attacking very well. Aside from Inter Milan Juventus have conceived the least goals in this season. the failure to play in any European competition is an advantage but we cannot underestimate the commitment of the players and coaching crew. After all, Chelsea is struggling even without European competition. The next game against Fiorentina will not be an easy game. Although the club lost two of their last league games they had a convincing win in the game against FK Čukarički in the UEFA Europa Conference League Group stage match,

I wouldn't blame Napoli for their current circumstances because they missed out on one of the team's most crucial members. Luciano Spalleti fled after winning the scudetto with the Parthenopeans last season and has moved on, leaving the club with no better option than former Al Nassr coach Rudi Garcia, who is now working with his new team to straighten out excellent performance. Sportiva Salernitana will play Napoli this weekend; if Napoli is interested in returning their place in the scudetto race this season, they will need to improve their standings.

Rudi Garcia is gradually building the Napoli team. It is always difficult to manage a successful club because there will always be high expectations. I suspected that the new coach was having issues in gaining the support of some top players. But things seem to have changed in recent times and the club is gradually coming back to winning ways. Selenitena looks like an easy side to win based on the club's current statistics. They have not won a single game and are at the bottom of the table with just four points from four draws.

As Juventus are not participating in any other European competition, they have plenty of time to fine-tune their squad. And the Juventus coach used this opportunity very well. Juventus had quite a few weaknesses within their squad. But the coach managed to fix almost all the weaknesses. Juventus team is very stable now. Due to consistent good performances, they are second in the points table, just 2 points behind Inter Milan. I am looking forward to the Juventus vs Inter Milan match in the last week of November. If Juventus can win this match, then I will say that Juventus team will be the champion of this year's Serie A.

Juventus participating only in the serie A is enough advantage for them to be very successful in the serie A, they started off slow this season but they are currently picking form and I'm sure in less than no time they will be able to be at the top of the table as expected of them.

Two points is not too much of a distance away from the top so if they continually improve in their performance as they are gradually doing they will definitely get to the top soon but the aim should be winning the league title by the end of the season which is definitely paramount. Inter Milan is doing so well and will try to maintain their position but they will get displaced by Juventus if they eventually loose any match. But it's obvious they will definitely finish amongst top four or five by the end of the league.

Napoli only had impressive results only last season, so with the decline in Napoli performance this season is clearly a normal result. I personally don't blame anyone because anyway, to maintain good performance will be difficult . Although for example, if in this season Spalleti is still the head coach of Napoli, that I will still believe Napoli performance will still plummet this season. Because yes, at least we can also compare when Milan and Inter got the Scudetto before, the fact is that teams as good as Milan and Inter also failed to defend the title. Moreover, about Napoli, which in every season is not always good and only in the last season, so it is natural if this season Napoli is not in a good trend.

This season they changed their managers and it took their current manager a little while to get his team to start performing better again even without their star player victor Osimhen, both Politano and Kvaratskhelia has been helping the team to improve in the absence of their star player, after an awful start that brought suspicions about Rudi Garcia's competency they've managed to pick up form and are in a very good position on the standings.

  Napoli  are in 5th place currently with just a point behind Atlanta, that are in the 4th place therefore they need to win their next match to keep up with Atalanta an probably overtake them I the drop points, Napoli is very lucky to be playing against the weakest team in the club current so I expect the game to be very easy for them even though they're the visiting team, cause they're 5th and Salernitana is currently at the bottom of the table

Bologna vs Lazio

I know Lazio is in the good shape especially after win from Fiorentina but Bologna isn't weak team because during this season as mediocre team Bologna performance was quite stable and so far Bologna has been able to achieve 10 consecutive without loses in all competitions even Inter Milan , Juventus and Napoli were unable to beat them so Bologna had a potention to make Lazio get in trouble today

Bologna still losing Oussama El Azzouzi and Lorenzo De Silvestri because these players are still got injured and for Lazio all of their players in the good conditions and will be available today including Ciro Immobile and just like i said before Bologna defense was quite strong and it's not easy to broke it so i am doubt Lazio can able to broke their defense and i am thinking this match will be ended with draw and the odds for draw was quite high @3.05

I also think it will end in a draw, furthermore it is a difficult match to predict, in fact the odds are very high.
So I am not considering it on my betting list at the moment. Maybe a draw is actually a good option.

Look, there are other matches that are easier to bet on, for example the Inter match in my opinion, if you are looking for easy matches.

[Marvell1]

I don't think Serie A is ever boring. There seems to be interesting matches every day. Bologna and Lazio, Atalanta and Inter, Fiorentina and Juventus. Fiorentina against Juventus will probably be a very interesting game. Fiorentina are playing no worse than Juventus right now.

Apart from Fiorentina against Juventus which might be an interesting match this weekend, I think the match for Atalanta and Inter Milan could also be a very interesting match to watch because currently Atalanta is also quite good which is even better than the Fiorentina team. So some people might be more interested in this match because the playing schedule is earlier than the Fiorentina vs Juventus match. So the fiercer the competition for points in the Serie A standings this season will clearly be, the more interesting the league will be and far from boring.

Basically, Atalanta is always part of the competition for the top six every season in the Serie A standings. So yes, because this weekend Atalanta will play against Inter, it is clear that this match will be a big match for this week too. But indeed, apart from this match, of course the match between Fiorentina against Juventus is also a big match at this moment, because Fiorentina is experiencing an increase in performance this season. But, Inter and Juventus will play away and considering that Inter and Juventus still very need with three points, then of course their match this weekend will be very interesting because they are still very ambitious of course to get winning.

Inter Milan vs Atalanta is likely to be a competitive match. Atalanta are in good form. Now the team is fourth in the points table. And so beating Atalanta is not an easy task for Inter Milan. However, Inter Milan's past record against Atalanta is very good. Inter Milan have won three of their last five matches against Atalanta and drawn two matches. Inter Milan did not lose a single match. It is expected that Inter Milan will maintain continuity in the next match as well.
It will be difficult for Juventus to win the away match against Fiorentina. Juventus failed to win their last two away matches against Fiorentina. But Fiorentina are a bit off form right now. The team has lost in the last two matches. So Juventus will be the favorite in this match.

I actually don’t know why people say that this league is not interesting. Because in this season, the league has been very interesting. Especially because the performance of almost all the teams has actually improved. The point difference between all the teams is very minimal. That’s something I really like to see. This gives an indication that the competition between the teams is going to be very hard most probably till the end of the season. In recent times we can also see that almost every time. One team always stays ahead of the competition by a huge margin. It don’t see that happening this time.

[coinlocket$]

The key moment for Inter and Napoli.

Inter will have their hardest month of the season, if they can do 10 points of the next 12, they probably win the title.

Napoli will be without Osimhen for 2 months.

[Jody.Drummer]

Napoli are seen playing very well almost every time in the Italian league but this time they are far behind in terms of points so winning a single match will not be a solution for them. They are already way behind in terms of points. Inter and Juventus are more likely to take the Italian league cup this year. But I wouldn't say that a turnaround is impossible for Napoli.  They have to win all the upcoming matches continuously to turn around

I wouldn't blame Napoli for their current circumstances because they missed out on one of the team's most crucial members. Luciano Spalleti fled after winning the scudetto with the Parthenopeans last season and has moved on, leaving the club with no better option than former Al Nassr coach Rudi Garcia, who is now working with his new team to straighten out excellent performance. Sportiva Salernitana will play Napoli this weekend; if Napoli is interested in returning their place in the scudetto race this season, they will need to improve their standings.

Something that was feared from Napoli happened, yes they have declined after last season they were outstanding, even claiming the title when there were still many games left. The departure of their coach was talked about early on as it was feared that it would affect their performances, and it did.
Not only that, I've also seen a drop in performance from their players. Osimhen, for example, has seen his overall performance drop despite still contributing a lot to the team. I think he should find a new club, because he has great potential to be at a big club that can compete especially in the Champions League.

Whether it is interesting or not depends on individual tastes, the picture you have given is very clear that Serie A is not inferior to the EPL and La Liga. If we look back a little between 2000-2010, Serie A was still the best, I think, before the EPL took first place among the five best European leagues. Personally, I really enjoy this season competition, the top four standings are currently occupied by the favorite clubs, except for Atalanta in my opinion.

Inter Milan, Juventus, AC Milan and Napoli are worthy of being considered as Schdetto challengers, but I understand that other surprises can also happen. What is clear is that the competition in Serie A is no less interesting than other leagues. We know that many players in Serie A have high prices like Osimhen, how could this be boring.

[shogun47]

I still think that too many people underestimate Napoli this season. The bad results they had during the first few weeks of the season were compared to what they did last season and then some here drew the conclusion that Napoli is on a bad way and won't perform well this season. But a lot of people forget that not many things have changed for Napoli except for one defender who left them and a change in the coaching position as Spalletti left the club. The rest still remained the same. There is no point in saying that they are significantly less competitive. And AC Milan looked very strong due to the strong early phase they had, but this result is definitely realistic as they both are top teams.

The main problem is that after watching Napoli's great dominance last season, the expectations of the fans from Napoli this season are very high. Last season in Serie A we only saw the dominance of Napoli. No other team has come close to Napoli in the title race. However, Napoli's performance has been very weak since the beginning of this season. They are not doing well. And I would say we are getting the expected results from Napoli this season. We are used to seeing this kind of performance from Napoli every season, except last season. I would say that even though Napoli had a great performance last season, we shouldn't expect a title-winning performance from Napoli this season. Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus are much stronger than Napoli this season.

I don't think I agree with you here because what you call very weak is what I would at least call average or they are doing ok and no more or no less than that. Last season they were outstanding from everything and everyone when you look at the first half of the season. It may have been the all-time record, but I don't know.

The two seasons before they finished with 77 points and 79 points, which I think are solid results. It is not extraordinary, but solid and puts them into the top 4. The 77 points made them finish the season as 5th rank, but with 79 points they would have finished top 4 for over a decade now. I think they still have a lot of room to improve, but I would not call it very weak.

You're right, If not for the fact that Intermilan are performing well currently I would've said that Juventus are most likely to win the Scudetto, their only focus is the Serie A  tournament and while others are playing during the weekdays they would either be resting or training for weekend games and I believe they'll go far this season,Intermilan has to be very careful cause if they carelessly drop points they could be overtaken by Juventus in the 1st place.

Yeah, every point is very valuable here, so whatever and whoever the match is against, they have to optimally play with a winning result. Inter are certainly ready for this, and they are also certainly aware that their chances in the UCL are not that great. So, they must try to go all-in in Serie A.

On the other hand, we might also remember other competitions with AC Milan and Napoli. Although perhaps for now, Juventus is the main competitor, these two teams cannot be underestimated either. AC Milan is currently not doing well and is experiencing a decline in performance both in Serie A and also in the UCL. however, we know that Milan could possibly pull off a surprising comeback-stronger. Likewise with Napoli. So, this season, there will be a lot of tight competition between them. Especially with a tight point difference.

Last season Intermilan channeled all their attention to the Champions League when they noticed they got chances of reaching the finals, but this season their performance in the UCL is not really okay and I think that's why they're more focused on winning the league this season, they're the strongest team so far and I think there a possibility that they could win the Scudetto cause Napoli who are the defending champions are not really serious this season.

 Acmilan tried in reaching the top position but they could remain consistent and had to drop, however they're still very strong contenders of the league regardless but I rank Juventus high above them this season and I feel if Inter fail to win the league title this season then it would be Juventus cause they're currently performing very fantastic.

Sportiva Salernitana will play Napoli this weekend; if Napoli is interested in returning their place in the scudetto race this season, they will need to improve their standings.

It is still not too late for Napoli to improve its position in the standings this season, because apart from Napoli still being very close to the UCL zone in Serie A, Napoli also still has enough time to make important changes to itself before it is too late. Tomorrow Napoli will face a weak team who are at the bottom of Serie A this season so Napoli must be able to take advantage of this match to get three points without any excuses. Because it is a very good opportunity for Napoli to get the best position in the standings.

Napoli is most likely to get three points out of tomorrow's game because they will definitely not give a chance to loosing to such a team who are at risk of been relegated, if Napoli will suffer a loss it wouldn't be with such a team even if they have the home advantage.

Napoli needs this win and I'm sure they are aswell aware of how crucial it is for them although they may face slight resistance from this home team but I don't think it's much of a challenge for them as they are not matching in strength when compared to Napoli, I expect nothing less but a win from Napoli. Napoli will be having it's full squad in tomorrow's game so I don't think they have any excuse.

Of course, Napoli can still improve their form and return to competing for the title this season. But in my opinion, the title competition this season has been tighter than last season where Juventus, Milan and Inter were more convincing to win the title instead of Napoli. Nothing is impossible, that's true but I'm not sure Napoli can get any better under their new coach unless they fail in the Champions League.

Napoli will visit Salernitana tomorrow, they look more convincing to win on the odds. The different qualities of the two teams mean that Napoli are likely to be expected to win instead of losing or drawing, so if that is true then Napoli's position will be in the top 4 before Atalanta finishes their tough match against Inter. This is an opportunity for Napoli to get into the top 4, especially because Atalanta is more likely to fail to win maximum points.

[Oluwa-btc]

The key moment for Inter and Napoli.

Inter will have their hardest month of the season, if they can do 10 points of the next 12, they probably win the title.

Napoli will be without Osimhen for 2 months.

There's no way possible Napoli is successfully defending the Seria A tittle ( January and he'll be back to help Nigeria during the African Cup of Nations ). I'ma be happy if Juventus finally comes out to sit at the top of the league. Having reduced competitions this season gives them enough time to rest and recover for every other game they would want to play.
Inter Milan are the best attacking club in the Seria A, I won't be boggled if they eventually win the Seria A.

Lazio losing points, is this how they're preparing for the game against Feyenoord during the next Champions League Group Stage games.

Inter will have hard moments vs Atalanta, Juventus and Napoli mainly in the upcoming weeks, in addition to Champions League games. The game vs Juventus will be the most important one since Inter could run away from them if it wins all its games.
Napoli will face Atalanta, Juventus and Inter which will make hard for them to catch easily top positions in my opinion.
Milan games aren't that hard for the upcoming weeks so they will annoy Inter and Juventus.

Fiorentina Juventus will not play on Sunday.

Heavy rain is ongoing in Tuscany and the match can be postponed according to Tuttosport.

[Doell]

Lazio losing points, is this how they're preparing for the game against Feyenoord during the next Champions League Group Stage games.

Lazio had a nightmare tonight! Yes they lost against Bologna and back to home without getting any points. I don't know how they will face Feyenoord in next match UCL events, although that match will be held at Lazio home. But maybe feyenoord will make their best effort in that match to not lose points, considering the gap point is also very close. But I hope Maurizio Sarri can find the right strategy in that match, to secure full points.

Fiorentina Juventus will not play on Sunday.

Heavy rain is ongoing in Tuscany and the match can be postponed according to Tuttosport.

According to the news I read in my local media, Tuscany is experiencing extreme weather, heavy rain is flooding the area. Even, it is reported that 5 people died. The Fiorentina vs Juventus match indeed must to be postponed.

[TelolettOm]

As Juventus are not participating in any other European competition, they have plenty of time to fine-tune their squad. And the Juventus coach used this opportunity very well. Juventus had quite a few weaknesses within their squad. But the coach managed to fix almost all the weaknesses. Juventus team is very stable now. Due to consistent good performances, they are second in the points table, just 2 points behind Inter Milan. I am looking forward to the Juventus vs Inter Milan match in the last week of November. If Juventus can win this match, then I will say that Juventus team will be the champion of this year's Serie A.

I can agree that Juventus has the advantage because they don't participate in any international competition like UCL or Europa League. They have a lot of time to maintain the physical or fitness of the players. But the teams who compete in UCL or Europa league also get the advantage because they get the experience to play against stronger teams in other leagues.

You're right. Juventus can play consistently until now. It is something that they didn't do in the previous season. There is some changes in Juventus squad, they know can play more solidly. We can expect that Juventus to have a big chance to win the Scudetto this season.

[Leviathan.007]

Another bad news for AC Milan is about Pierre Kalulu their French player because is now injured and he can't play in the next four months in AC Milan which can definitely damage the team he had a surgery in Finland.
In the game between AC Milan and Napoli, AC Milan didn't only lost two important points but they also lost their young player, Pierre Kalulu. Just after 19 minutes, he left the game.
