Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[rendravolt]

Dimarco's extraordinary goal from 56 meters from the left side of the defense was the goal of the season and is likely to be nominated for the Puskas award. Even in an interview after the match, Mikhitaryan shared the same opinion as everyone who thought it was a cross for Denzel, but instead the ball soared high and finally dived into Frosinone's goal.

After that, in the second half, Inter again increased the goal difference through the penalty scored by Çalhanoğlu. Inter's victory is pretty much guaranteed with these 2 goals and it looks like Inter will still be consistent until week 12. As a result, Inter can still widen the gap from Juventus and Frosinone is still in 12th position in the standings even though they previously won against Empoli.

His left foot shot was really great, yes an extraordinary goal from him, everyone was surprised to see it including me. Indeed seem like really worthy to be nominated for the Puskas award, a phenomenal goal like that is the best goal.

Inter Milan is motivated to win the title this season, they will most likely continue in optimal performance. But on next Matchday 13, Inter will have a big test ahead, if according to the schedule they will face against Juventus.

It seems that playing against Juventus will be an exciting round for the competition for the top position in Week 13 and I think it will be a very difficult match to predict. Moreover, Juventus' advantage here is as hosts and if we look at the previous meeting at Juventus' home ground, the two teams only shared one point with a draw. I think this result will still happen if we look at the performance of the two teams, which is equally good, but if one of them can surprise us with a win, of course it will widen the distance from Inter or Juventus will shift Inter's position from the top. Even if I bet later, I will probably bet on the BTTS - (Yes) option because it is certain that both teams will score goals against each other and I will avoid the risk of betting on one of the teams.

And this injury problem is also what made AC Milan last season almost not get a position in the top 4 rankings. Luckily they still got it even though they had to struggle harder. Yes, the injury problems that this club often experiences should be a concern for the club itself. Because this has happened not only this season but also in previous seasons. But it's not just AC Milan that has many players injured. But other clubs are the same. But AC Milan is one of the clubs that has the most injured players.

They are in a good position but it is not a guarantee that they will not lose that third position to other clubs. With challenge from Napoli, Atalanta, Roma and Lazio, it's very hard to maintain it if their performances wont' be good enough. With fully focus of Juventus for Serie A and good form of Inter Milan, it looks like only 2 positions in top four left for some clubs. The competitiveness of this race is very high and AC Milan have to win it to secure their club finance with a slot to Champions League 2024 - 2025.

At least the 1st and 2nd places in the standings seem to be more likely to be contested by Juventus or Inter Milan. Meanwhile, AC Milan seems to be more focused on remaining in its current ranking and getting back a ticket to the Champions League. AC Milan's main problem now is to minimize the number of injured players at their club. Because if that happens then not only will they not qualify for the next stage in the UCL but they could also lose their position in the top 4 in the Serie A standings. Which of course will be a nightmare for this club. But I believe that Milan can overcome difficulties like this. Because last season they managed to get through it well.

Napoli continues to surprise, losing against one of the weakest teams in the league. Of course, they had a bit of an unlucky evening, Napoli was the dominant team in the match, but they failed to score a goal.
A team that cannot score has no chance of winning the match, and when they made a mistake towards the end of the match and conceded a goal, they lost 3 points. Looks like this season won't go well for them

After the defeat, a Napoli fan was talking about Luciano Spalletti time at Napoli and I reminded him that there was a time when Spalletti's Napoli lost 3-2 to Empoli, with mistakes from Meret, but these are certainly two different defeats. Unfortunately, this one weighs much more because the current squad is significantly superior to Spalletti's first-year team. Garcia was hired to reproduce Spalletti's style of play, but it's a shame that he hadn't even watched a game of Napoli's championship-winning team, as he admitted in one of his early interviews. Do you think there should be changes in coaching and team management?

[jeha2015]

When facing Frosinone, to be honest, Inter looked quite overwhelmed because Frosinone's defense was very focused on Martinez, this is what made him unable to score even one goal even though there were several opportunities created.  Inter is really in very good form, Inzaghi's effective strategy seems to be starting to emerge.

Correct. In this match Inter had difficulty facing Frosinone who appeared more solid in defense, they were able to keep Martinez tight, even in attack they were also good but less effective, this can be seen from Frosinone's possession of the ball. ball. And Inzaghi's strategy here is very good, they don't just rely on Martinez when they reach a deadlock, they play very efficiently and effectively. An important victory for Inter Milan to remain in first place.

for Napoli, well their current performance is not as good as last season, Napoli clearly looks very dependent on Osimhen, Empoli's goal in the 91st minute was really bad luck for Napoli.

Napoli is very different from the previous season, the team's unity seems to have faded since being coached by a new coach. Osimhen is injured but other players seem helpless. I also agree with you, Napoli only relies on Osimhen.

Yeah amazing goal from dimarco. This is why i have been repeating this goal for more than 5 times. That's an amazing goal, and it has been a long time since i was seeing this kind of goal. Intermilan seems play better in any matches.
Thuram is also slowly but surely adapting to the gameplay of intermilan. It seems so hard to beat intermilan at the top position.

I think that there will be club who will able to replace intermilan's position at this moment. It's likely that intermilan will be winning the scudetto this season.

Looking at Milan previous 4 matches, they lost twice and drew twice, if it continues like this Napoli will displace them in third place in the Serie A standings. I agree that Inter and Juventus are still better than Pioli squad, and I think both of them are candidates Scudetto winner this season. Milan continues to maintain their position so as not to fall out of the top four in the standings, even though we know this is quite difficult.

A storm of player injuries is always a major indicator of a team decline in performance, and Milan is currently experiencing this. Recently Pioli lost Rafael Leao in his main squad, this is clearly a big loss for Milan because we know that Leao is really needed to get through two important matches, against Fiorentina and Dortmund in the future.

But this is why I think that Inter Milan and Juventus Turin are definitely the favorites to win the Scudetto. They both have this high efficiency that they win their games when they are not dominating, but still use their few chances and it is enough to win the three points. AC Milan has spectacular games, but what is it worth if they frequently don't win or even lose their games? I still think that they will have great performances, but Inter will be hard to beat on a bad day as well. Juventus Turin has found their consistency back as well and it is no coincidence that the teams with the strongest defense lines are leading the table.

I also think that Inter Milan and Juventus are the favourites to win Serie A this year. The AC Milan team was in great form at the start of the season. But the team has now lost the truck. The Milan team has failed to win in the last four matches. They lost two and drew two matches. If they want to be the champion of Serie A, they must have consistency of performance. Without consistency of performance, it is not possible to be the champion of Serie A. Because this year's Serie A will be very competitive. Inter Milan, Juventus and Napoli also have strong squads. If there is no consistency in performance, it will not be possible for any team to become a champion. That's why Juventus and Inter Milan are among the teams considered to be the favourites to win this year's title.

[DanWalker]

The point about Ac Milan is they usually have many injured players on their team. Maybe AC Milan should start thinking about the reason for the problems they have because I think this team had many injured players, especially in this season and that's maybe because of the bad recovery or bad training they had in their team.
So far in this season AC Milan had 18 injured players and in the last season, they had 11 injured players which is a lot and challenging for their coach Pioli.

In the past, AC Milan is known for having the best medical facilities in Serie A, but since the 2010s, this achievement no longer seems to belong to Milan, because at that time Milan's players, who were mostly veteran players, often experienced recurring injuries. At that time, age was thought to be the cause, but to this day, the same thing continues to happen at AC Milan. It may be true that one of the causes is the lack of care provided by the AC Milan medical team. I can't confirm it, this just a black side rumor about AC Milan. it can be true or not.

I think that might actually be true. Because I honestly do not think that the training sessions of Ac Milan are so incredible that the players are getting injured very often. But with all the money that the football clubs have in recent times, it is hard to believe that they are actually not paying attention to the health of the players that they have. I think the current lifestyle of so many players is also responsible for the injury situation of many players to be honest. Lots of players do not lead a healthy lifestyle because they have a lot of money and they like to party.

Losing at home against a team that is in the lower zone is clear, that Napoli at this moment is not in a good trend . Because anyway, although sometimes Napoli managed to win with a good score but still, atthis moment Napoli did not have a stable performance and thus it was difficult for Napoli to be able to compete well in the top four in the Serie A standings this season . Therefore, then ofcourse Napoli must be able to do better for the upcoming matches and thus, it is appropriate for Napoli to improve their management and quality quickly at this moment. Because if not, maybe Napoli will slowly lose their place in the top four, and ofcourse if that happens it will be a bad result for Napoli this season.

Since the start of the season, the Napoli team has shown that their strength has dropped drastically compared to last season and they cannot be consistent, perhaps because people's expectations are too high for the Napoli team who think they can continue with their performance from last season, so currently a lot of focus is on them.
It's embarrassing when you have to experience defeat at home against a bottom team, maybe it will affect the team's mentality and self-confidence for the next match.

Rudi Garcia is the person most responsible for Napoli's inconsistent performance at the moment, he seems to have failed to make Napoli much better, but that doesn't mean he should be fired, currently I read several comments from fans and football observers who say that Rudi Garcia should be fired, but I don't think so, Rudi Garcia still needs time to process to make Napoli better like what he wants without Spalletti's shadow and compared to last season.

So this is the question for all of us why Napoli's performance continues to decline is it true that Rudi Garcia cannot implement the right strategy? or as you said he just needs time to understand the character of the player? from my observations this decline was also the impact of the performance of several players which was not optimal for example, Victor Osimhen who has only scored 6 goals so far he is in 6th position as top scorer even though we know how he played last season and because of his achievements, many clubs are interested in recruiting him but this season the situation is different.

Regarding Rudi Garcia, I am sure he will stay with Napoli, especially if they are still in the top 4 until the end of the season but if Napoli falls out of the top 4 then I can't guarantee it maybe management is thinking about looking for a new coach because the decline is very drastic and imagine if Mourinho came as a replacement maybe the competition in Serie A is getting tougher.

Analysis on point. Just to add  to your points.
The last five games have seen two draws and two win from Juventus with a single win for Inter Milan last season. At home, Juventus have won five games with two goals conceded, but generally in the last five meetings in the league they've just conceded once and won all rest with clean sheets.

It's almost same for Inter Milan and they play from away. The game would be in favor of the old ladies, or a draw. Personally I'm diving in to bet that game a fulltime draw. Next two weeks, the games in the Seria A Scudetto will be very interesting and tough.

Juventus vs Inter Milan will be a really tough match and I think that match will also be watched by many people to see which of them will be the best team this season, because both teams are currently still showing their best performances in every match so both of them will give their best to win the match, although I only have enough confidence in Juventus for the match and that's not because Juventus is playing at home. But it is more about the strength and level of consistency that both teams have this season.

Both teams are equally strong because they are in the good shape recently and in Serie A whether it Inter Milan and Juventus has been able to playing consistent so it's hard to predicted who is the winner of this match and as a host probably Juventus is the favourite but Inter Milan too has experienced to win at Juventus home ground several times last year and this match will be so tight and probably will ended with narrow scores considering Juventus and Inter Milan has strong defense but from goals productivities Inter Milan far better than Juventus because from 12 matches Inter Milan has scores 29 goals in Serie A so very interesting to know who is the winner of this match but indeed considering host factor Juventus probably has slightly chances to win this match

[snipie]

They both have this high efficiency that they win their games when they are not dominating, but still use their few chances and it is enough to win the three points.

Juventus Turin has found their consistency back as well and it is no coincidence that the teams with the strongest defense lines are leading the table.

I find your last sentence very accurate and that's what I thought about when reading your post before finding that line.
When you see statistics, it is clear that Inter and Juventus have the best defence line and one of the best attack line too with a clear advantage for Inter and less for Juventus. In fact Juventus scored less goals than teams like Milan, Roma, Napoli Fiorentina and Atalanta but they received less goals than them.
Next round, Juventus will face Inter which means that the gap might increase between these teams since I find Inter better.

[FanEagle]

The news is about Napoli signing Igor Tudor, do you think that he will make the team better? Garcia was terrible, they should have kept Spaletti or whatever his name was, I do not know the manager but when your manager makes you champions after decades, firing him is not the best choice, they were stupid to do that and I bet that they are going to try to get him back eventually, and either fail to get him back, and be humiliated, or get him back and not give him the same squad so dude will have no choice and fail and they will try to save face by saying "see, we knew he was just one year horse and he lost again", which we will all know it was because he didn't had the same squad.

In the end, we are talking about a big deal here, Igor Tudor will have a huge responsibility and I do not think that there are many managers out there in the world, specially any free agent ones, that could lift the weight that Napoli is putting on them by expecting so much.

Inter Milan and Juventus are a big point ahead of the other teams with AC Milan in third position with 23 points but Juventus in 2nd position with 29 points which is a long gap.  And Inter Milan who are in the first position have earned 31 points. Napoli and AC Milan are very good teams but they need to win several matches continuously to go to the first or second position while Juventus and Inter have to lose a few matches. However, Juventus have been performing much better in the Italian league this year, so I think they will show something better in the last moment and they are very likely to win the championship of the italian League

listen to me, who has been following the Italian championship for a long time now, Milan's problem is not that, the problem is another and it has been evident since last season
unfortunately not everyone is good, we must surrender to this evidence
the results haven't arrived for 2 years now, not for a few months

I wouldn't consider that a long gap given how young the season still is. Manchester City has been 5 points behind Arsenal for so long last season and yet won the Premier League title. 5 points really isn't all that much and they still have the games when they play against each other. But Juventus and Inter have really confirmed their performance level over quite some time now.But there are several teams that don't play as well as they normally do, like Roma, Lazio, but also Atalanta and Napoli.

Coppa Italia can also become quite interesting as all the favorites won't meet before the quarterfinals.

Napoli is believed to be struggling since the start of the season as a result of the manager Rudi Garcia's lack of tactical discipline and u don't think sacking the Frenchman and hiring a manager like Igor Tudor is a good move because I don't think Tudor posseses the tactical experience and ability to improve the team's performance. Napoli who are the reigning champions of Italy is a big club that should go for a well experienced manager if they truly want to do away with Garcia and I don't think Tudor is that kind of manager that should be in the club's list for Garcia's succession.

[Richbased]

Looking at Milan previous 4 matches, they lost twice and drew twice, if it continues like this Napoli will displace them in third place in the Serie A standings. I agree that Inter and Juventus are still better than Pioli squad, and I think both of them are candidates Scudetto winner this season. Milan continues to maintain their position so as not to fall out of the top four in the standings, even though we know this is quite difficult.

AC Milan have not really been in a good form recently despite winning PSG in the champions league but I think they ain't really doing their best although the injuries some of their key players had also contributed to their flop but however they need to be up and doing and from the look of things now the gap between them and the league leaders Inter Milan is becoming very big so that being the case they should put in their best in the champions league, since they have a good champions league record they might actually make things happen in the champions league.
