Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Rengga Jati]

Finally, after 16 games, Napoli officially sacked Rudi Garcia. Actually not so bad, Garcia has 4 losses from 16 matches. But it seems that Napoli are not too satisfied with Garcia's performance. After Garcia left, Napoli officially appointed Walter Mazzarri as a replacement. If you look at the history of actual achievements, Walter Mazzarri also does not have many brilliant achievements. He has 4 championship titles with the club and 1 best coach achievement Enzo Bearzot Award.

Napoli has provided enough opportunities for Garcia, but it may not be that satisfying for them. Because, as last season's Scudeto title holders, at least Napoli also wants to get the same. Or at least, their performance will continue to be good and they can really compete fiercely. But unfortunately, perhaps their expectations will not be met. but indeed, if you look at how Garcia manages the squad.

This decision can be said to be good or otherwise. And by getting Mazzarri instead, there is another question whether he is really the best for Napoli or because there is no other option? Hopefully the choice this time is really the right one and not because of haste again.

Napoli lost at home to Empoli. Although they played dominantly from the beginning to the end of the match, the fact that they couldn't find a goal shows that there are problems in the offensive line. Napoli, who had 18 shots in the match, unfortunately lost the match because they couldn't find a goal. Empoli scored a goal in the last minute to defeat Napoli away from home without much effort.

The match between Napoli VS Empoli was quite a dramatic match and Empoli surprisingly won at home to Napoli by scoring a goal in the final minutes. And this is quite an embarrassing defeat for Napoli. because Napoli as the defending champion had to accept defeat from Empoli, who currently are still at the bottom of the standings. This is a shame because Napoli suffered defeat at home with a goal in the 91st minute.
And perhaps, this match between Napoli and Empoli is a match that is far from our previous expectations and predictions, because if we look at several matches back, Empoli was only able to score 4 goals in their 11 matches in Series A.

 
The Napoli versus Empoli match was really exciting! It was like a big story. Empoli, the team that usually doesn't win a lot, surprised everyone by scoring a goal right at the end of the game and winning against Napoli. This was a big deal because Napoli is the champion, and they usually win a lot. But this time, they lost to Empoli, who usually doesn't win much and is at the bottom of the list. It's a bit embarrassing for Napoli because they lost at their own home, and the goal that made them lose happened in the 91st minute, almost at the very end of the game. It's a surprising and unexpected thing because, if we look at the games Empoli played before, they only scored four goals in 11 games. So, this game turned out very differently from what people thought would happen!

That is a very normal thing because in every season there are always surprises from weak teams to stronger teams as happened to Napoli at home. Even though most people saw this as a surprise because Empoli was able to win narrowly at home to Napoli, I have to consider this as a very normal thing if you look at Napoli's condition this season which is very different from last season. So it is quite a simple matter for Napoli so that they have a reason to make another comeback this season.

Another interesting match that is coming up next week is between Juventus and Inter Milan. This will be a really good match to watch, and I can't wait to see how the fight will be because both are really in good form now. Now that Juventus is playing at home and Inter Milan is leading the table, Inter Milan is playing away with 31 points, and Juventus is in second place in the table with 29 points, which is only 2 points different. And if Juventus win the match, they will be at the top. I will say that Juventus will try everything possible to take the position with Inter Milan, but I don't think it will be possible with the form that Inter Milan are now in. But what I am expecting from the match is a draw, but I will say that Juventus may be the favorite team to win because of their home advantage.

Atalanta managed to get 1 point from Udinese away from Udinese with a goal in the last minute.Udinese failed to take advantage of the penalty they won in the 31st minute and closed the first half 1-0 ahead with Walace's goal towards the end of the first half.The home team, who made good use of the positions they found despite not playing the ball much, did not give Atalanta many chances.Although Ederson managed to score the goal that brought the point to his team in the last minutes, we can say that an important 2 points were lost for Atalanta.

Yes, it is possible that if the penalty was scored, it may have been a win for the udinese team, and it is also possible that if two goals was scored by the udinese,  Atlanta would work very hard to equalize the two goals. Both teams played, but seriously, the teams that had high chances to win the match  it was udinese because they were the team that created the most attempts, which I think was four short on goals, but Atlanta just had two despite being the team that had the ball possession.

That is a very normal thing because in every season there are always surprises from weak teams to stronger teams as happened to Napoli at home.

So it is quite a simple matter for Napoli so that they have a reason to make another comeback this season.

I think Napoli defeat against Empoli was purely due to Rudi Garcia tactical error and even the players didn't seem to try hard enough in that match. Rudi Garcia made a very unnecessary rotation but he did it until Napoli finally lost and Rudi Garcia was fired. I don't think it's a surprise because after all the players don't seem to want to get 3 points because they don't want to be coached by Rudi Garcia. So, in the next match, Napoli will rise and we hope that Osimhen can return as soon as possible to join Napoli after the international break to help Napoli win again in the next match.

Napoli are actually quite strong this season, it's just that they don't have a genius coach like Spalletti. So, it is hoped that Walter Mazzarri performance in the upcoming match will stabilize Napoli performance in maintaining their hopes of being able to compete with Inter Milan or Juventus. Napoli, which needs an immediate process to return to its best form, must be done by Walter Mazzarri in the upcoming match where he must be able to rebuild harmony within Napoli.

The match between Juventus and Inter milan is really gonna be hot because Juventus will play in other to move to the top of the table whereas Inter Milan will also play with lots of energy in other to still retain their spot at the top of the table so it's really gonna be an interesting match. Moreover, judging from their head to head Juventus have won more of their matches against Inter Milan and I still see juventus winning this match.

Intern milan have really been in a commendable form so far and they've also got good and quality strikers but Juventus as well also have good and tactical players so this match might be a "clash of the titans" as the both teams will be looking forward to a win.

That doesn't really make sense, a head2head type of calculation makes sense rarely because we are talking about teams that are no longer similar. Like what if the last time these teams meet each other last season? That means it has been months and months, with many transfers since the last game, why would we want to look at the head2head in that case, that doesn't seem reasonable at all.

I believe that we are going to end up with some changes one way or another, it needs to be something super normal. I get that we can't make it change all that much, but we need to arrange something that needs to be a little bit different, we need to arrange something that would not be all that confusing in the end and should be a little different. I like to bet based on what the teams momentum looks like and the standings look like. If a team that is second and won 5 games in a row, plays a team that is 16th and lost 5 in a row, that's the type of previous games I like to see.

Head to Head stat has always been one very sweet comparison when it comes to modern day football because they’re more like guides more especially to Punters, yes transfer creates changes in squad in terms of creativity or defense but records still remains and can either be kept or broken, what it takes to keep a record is determination and consistency not leaving out the hardwork of a team.

 Well for punters form and consistency matters a lot and are essential when selecting on best odds for a match, i think we shouldn’t take away form when making selections and also head to head gives a guide to team’s selection, but then you've got to be tactical when making decisions cause sometimes those head to head doesn't really determine the outcome of a match.

So it is quite a simple matter for Napoli so that they have a reason to make another comeback this season.

Napoli I think is definitely going to get a come back at empoli when next they meet it was obvious empoli took advantage of the fact that they met Npoli in their weak form where they had their key player injured thereby not playing with they complete team squad and they aswell had the home advantage.

Every season there's always a time when a team usually considered weak ends up challenging a big team such that they may aswell win them, this always happens at the times when these big teams are in their weak form or probably are experiencing a slow down due to the stress they have had already in the season but it's usually normal that the big boys later get back on their feet and dominate as they aught to.

Napoli is the defending champion team so whoever the coach is will definitely be under tremendous pressure if he is unable to lead Napoli to a winning rally. For Rudi Garcia, he doesn't have a pretty good record with Napoli so far because Napoli under his coaching was easily beaten by other teams at home. Even the general history of Rudi Garcia does not have a good enough record when coaching Serie A teams and indeed he is not a suitable coach for Napoli. However, under the new coaching, Napoli will be expected to perform better in Serie A and the Champions League and there will definitely be a lot of pressure on Walter Mazzarri hips.

No one knows whether management's decision shows Walter Mazzarri was hasty or whether he had a fairly close relationship with the owner of Napoli. However, as a matter of coaching history, He previously coached Napoli and led Napoli to win the Italian league trophy. Let's just wait for the performance, hopefully it can bring Napoli to compete in the race for the Scudetto title this season.

[TelolettOm]

The race for title will be clearer after Champions League goes to its knock out rounds and if Inter Milan continue to exists in Champions League that time. They will have to spend part of their focus on Champions League. Juventus, oppositely, will only play in Serie A and they will completely focus on it that is big difference compares to Inter Milan.

This race can have participation of AC Milan too if they can not go to next rounds of Champions League. They currently don't have too good position in their Champions League group. If AC Milan will no longer play at Champions League, they will focus more on Serie A and can challenge both Inter Milan and Juventus for Scudetto.

I think it is clear enough that Inter Milan will go to the next round in UCL. In group D, Inter Milan and Real Sociedad are leading the table with the same points. Their points are quite far from other teams, it seems almost impossible for Salzburg or Benfica to overtake them. Group D already have 2 teams for knock out round.

We don't know if AC Milan can qualify for the next round or not. The point gaps among the teams in group F are quite small, their positions can change in the final match. But even if AC Milan only focus in Serie A, I'm not sure AC Milan can compete for the title this season. Their performance looks declining so much, they are not in a good condition for joining the title race.

Rudi Garcia has been sacked, they called back Mazzarri after 10 years.

Conte is rumored to have refused them, twice.

[Uruhara]

A very interesting match will be presented at the end of this month where both teams are at the top level, namely first and second place, only 2 points apart, for The time being this season both teams are equally good, according to my predictions this time Juventus will be superior and more profitable because This match will take place at Juventus home ground, although the match will be quite balanced, but I believe that Juventus will win this match with a very narrow result.

And apart from home advantage, Juventus also has an advantage in terms of focus. Because Juventus is currently only focused on Serie A. So a less busy schedule can enable Juventus to be more optimal in competing in Serie A. That's why this season Juventus is really getting good results in Serie A. Because they are only focused on Serie A. But in January maybe Juventus will have another match in the Coppa Italia. But that's still a long time away.

Meanwhile, Inter Milan has another schedule after fighting Juventus, namely a match in the Champions League. So Inter Milan will definitely be more careful so that their core players don't get injured during the Serie A match. And it seems that currently more and more people are favoring Juventus for this match.

Rudi Garcia has been sacked, they called back Mazzarri after 10 years.

Conte is rumored to have refused them, twice.

Napoli must be realistic that they will not be able to defend their Scudetto title even if they keep their previous coach, who brought them to Scudetto last season, Luciano Spaletti. Sacking Rudi Garcia won't help Napoli to improve their performance too much and they have very little chance to defend the trophy. Because this season, Napoli no longer has a power of surprise like the past season. Inter Milan and Juventus will pay more attention on Napoli that reduce opportunities for Napoli to make another big surprise in the league.

And apart from home advantage, Juventus also has an advantage in terms of focus. Because Juventus is currently only focused on Serie A. So a less busy schedule can enable Juventus to be more optimal in competing in Serie A. That's why this season Juventus is really getting good results in Serie A.

And it seems that currently more and more people are favoring Juventus for this match.

Juventus surely have more time for their players to recharge energy and recover fitness because they don't play in Champions League and no competition in Europe tournaments like either Europa or Conference League. With full focus on Serie A, Juventus have a very big advantage than Inter Milan and AC Milan. It's hard to say Juventus have best squad and player resource in Serie A but with less tasks to do in this season, they will have chance to do best in Serie A and take Scudetto after losing it to Inter Milan, AC Milan and Napoli last three seasons.

I don't know what the owner of the Napoli club is thinking. I think sacking Rudi Garcia will only bring new problems to the Club. Namely, the players have to adapt again to the playing patterns and strategies brought by the new coach. And something like this has happened to Chelsea in the Premier League. When Todd was too hasty in firing the coach. Which actually makes Chelsea worse. In fact, I think it would be better if the club owner did not rush in making the decision to fire Garcia. Unless the club owner is not targeting the title in Serie A. But he wants the title in UCL.

So true. When talking about the quality of players, of course Inter is far superior. But because Inter will divide their focus between two competitions, this could affect the fitness of their squad. Meanwhile, Juventus just needs to play as hard as possible.

Finally, after 16 games, Napoli officially sacked Rudi Garcia. Actually not so bad, Garcia has 4 losses from 16 matches. But it seems that Napoli are not too satisfied with Garcia's performance. After Garcia left, Napoli officially appointed Walter Mazzarri as a replacement. If you look at the history of actual achievements, Walter Mazzarri also does not have many brilliant achievements. He has 4 championship titles with the club and 1 best coach achievement Enzo Bearzot Award.

Napoli has provided enough opportunities for Garcia, but it may not be that satisfying for them. Because, as last season's Scudeto title holders, at least Napoli also wants to get the same. Or at least, their performance will continue to be good and they can really compete fiercely.

This decision can be said to be good or otherwise. And by getting Mazzarri instead, there is another question whether he is really the best for Napoli or because there is no other option? Hopefully the choice this time is really the right one and not because of haste again.

Napoli started the season not well after changing coach (Rudi Garcia). It was indeed difficult to maintain performance when Napoli was forced to change coaches automatically as the coach must have his own strategy in managing his subordinates, and it seems that the strategy used by Rudi Garcia is not enough to manage Napoli's performance and consistent like last season.
Due to the decline and Napoli experiencing defeat in the match against Empoli, Napoli thought that Rudi Garcia's strategy was not good and Napoli's defensive system was not working optimally. This could be said to be a mistake, but with this mistake, Napoli immediately took action to immediately fire Rudi Garcia for immediately improve the performance of the players like last season.

I haven't really analyzed whether the new Napoli coach has a good history and extraordinary experience in the world of football, but what is certain is that Napoli fans hope that Walter Mazzari can provide a good strategy for the Napoli club.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

Inter Milan, a strong team in the Italian Serie A league has for themselves so much work to do regarding keeping themselves in the title race both league wise and tournament wise, the Italian league has some competitions in it and Inter Milan has to level up to these tasks, as well as level up to the task in the Champions league where there are even bigger competitors,
player rotation is welcomed as just single set of players can't do it all for a team.

 A balance needs to be found, you can't overwork a player and expect positive outcome from every game, they're not robots, they need some sort of rest in between or else they'll be destabilized, they are a team envisioning the UCL title and they've actually got what it takes but they just have to put in extra work and effort.

If the coach does not have many choices for the players he has then it will be difficult for him to rotate because play in players who are not ready will make the strategy not work well during the match. Moreover, if several key players are injured, this could affect the results of the match because Inter Milan is taking part in a different competition and the match schedule will definitely be even busier. Inter Milan's task is tough this season, apart from having to fight to get the Scudetto title, they also have the ambition to win the Champions League because last season they were runners-up.

Simeone Inzaghi will try to give his best for the team and he will also try to make several steps forward so that Inter Milan does not fail in Serie A. It takes calm and intelligence for him to choose several players when he has to rotate. The next match will be at Juventus headquarters and this will be a tough match for him because defeat could bring Inter Milan down to second place in the standings.

It's a bit embarrassing for Napoli because they lost at their own home, and the goal that made them lose happened in the 91st minute, almost at the very end of the game. It's a surprising and unexpected thing because, if we look at the games Empoli played before, they only scored four goals in 11 games. So, this game turned out very differently from what people thought would happen!

This is not a very normal thing. They lost against Empoli at home. Neither team left this stadium with defeat last year. There was mediocre football against Empoli and Napoli could not find a goal. Most of the players did not even transfer to another team because they thought they would be better in matches this year. In this situation, even a simple team like Empoli can beat Napoli in Napoli.

[Bobrox]

Napoli's decision to appoint Rudi Garcia as coach was very hasty. They shouldn't have signed Garcia to manage the team if he didn't end up having half a season of experience under his belt, so I think that was a really bad decision. Garcia's reputation as a coach is not very reliable, he only won 2 titles in the 2010/2011 season with Lille.

Napoli must be able to bring in a great coach to replace Rudi Garcia. They are a strong team with good quality players, so it would be a shame if they were not handled by a great coach then it would only damage their performance and success from season to season. Antonio Conte looks like he could be the most suitable, but I don't know if Napoli can convince him considering he is a former coach of Juventus, Inter and Atalanta.

I am expected with Antonio Conte will be new Napoli manager after sacking Rudi Garcia, but former of Inter Milan and Watford Walter Mazzarri become Napoli manager left of this season. Actually he was experienced manager but not really special achievement during few moment become Inter Milan manager but lets waiting his contribution will success make Napoli in tittle race or not. I think difficult with financial its problem why Napoli can't sign Antonio Conte as manager, actually he will ask higher payment salary due his reputation won many tittles since become Juventus, Chelsea and Inter Milan manager.

Walter Mazzarri need waiting two week later to make his debut as Napoli manager, international break out make him need few days later to show his capacity as Napoli management give him coach position is right or not.

Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis keen on making the wrong moves for the club, probably he does trigger these actions when the team is facing struggles. Rudi Garcia was fired due to his incompetent qualities to deliver Napoli in crucial moments. For a second, Antonio Conte was the perfect replacement to fill in the shoes of Luciano Spalleti but I think there's a reason why the board didn't pick Conte considering him to be a lite too earlier for the board to pick a coach, next time they should take a decision uniformly inother to build the team.
