Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[temple]

Lukaku has become very ferocious lately and this cannot be separated from his goal contributions for Rome and Belgium. On average, he can always score 1 goal and apart from that, this is good progress for him amidst the issue of declining performance last season. Currently Lukaku has become an important player for the teams he plays for everywhere and that means a lot to him. The competition in the top 4 is still quite difficult for Roma and maybe they have to add more players in the winter so they can be more consistent in maximizing results in every match.

Having a run like he had in the last game with Belgium when he scored 4 goals is of course amazing, but calculating the average goal per game ratio can sometimes be a misleading tool. If a player scores 4 goals in one game and then no goal in three games, I think every team would wish for the striker to instead score 1 goal per game more reliably. He has had some impressive games, but consistency isn't so much about maths, it is about how often he is the one to decide the game with his goals. That is what counts and Roma could need more decisive goals as they are stuck in the table.

Salernitana will compete against Lazio in the opening match of week 13 in Serie A, will Salernitana be able to win that match? I haven't seen a win for this club since the start of the season. Salernitana has only achieved 5 draws and 7 defeats so far, I think Salernitana will lose again in this match because Lazio is in better condition than Salernitana, but at least Salernitana can improve their position in bottom of the standings by being able to win the match later by making good use of home opportunities, I want to see this club win a match for the first time because so far this club has not won a single win and I am very worried about its current situation which is slumped at the bottom of the standings.

I will still favor Lazio in the next match because Lazio has a better performance than Salernitana, it will be difficult for Salernitana to win this match with its current bad condition which makes it impossible to win.
What do you expect from this club which is always struggling in the relegation zone? Salernitana seem to be having difficulty competing with Serie A club.
Salernitana must hone the players skills so they can appear more impressive like other team do to continue playing in Serie A.

The chance for Salernitana to win this match is very low and we all know a team like Lazio can have a much better chance to win the game against Salernitana also in the last five meets they had before Lazio won the game against Salernitana four times and they lost only for once which is another reason to bet on Lazio.

Udinese are a pretty interesting team this season. They are normally really bad. I mean they didn't get a single win until facing Milan a short time ago. In that game they beat one of the best teams in the league in San Siro. This week I see that Roma are hosting Udinese this time. There isn't a big difference between Roma and Milan now after the bad results Milan got recently.

However I feel like Mourinho will be ready for Udinese. He must have analyzed them in that Milan game. They beat Udinese here really comfortably in the previous season. Maybe they can do a similar work again here so I think Roma will be the winner.

If the home factor can be advantageous for Salernitana in the match against Lazio, perhaps the best result that can be achieved is a draw because in several previous matches, the home factor did not give them any advantage and only a draw could be achieved.
The visiting team will actually maximize their match against this fairly weak team to improve their position, and also to end the two bad results they had in the previous match.
Salernitana were lucky enough to be able to escape the relegation zone for two seasons because since they moved up from Serie B, their performance has been bad and they have always been a team that is fighting to be able to play in Serie A next season, but this time it looks like there will be no more luck for them and they will play in Serie B because they have too few points and it is difficult to improve the ranking even though there are still many matches left for this season.

Yes, I think Lazio will try their best to beat Salernitana because this is a good opportunity for Lazio to continue to progress to improve its position, Lazio has lost a lot of points this season and is struggling in the middle of the table fighting against mediocre teams, I think Lazio will be difficult to be in. Top 5 like last season.
Salernitana has been lucky for the last 2 seasons because they managed to survive the relegation zone, but it seems like this season is indeed a bad and unlucky season for them because Salernitana has had to fight very hard to stay in Serie A.

Udinese took Ac Milan by surprise, ad they came from behind to tie them down in a game I already have given the lead to AC Milan. So much pressure now on them coach to change the narrative of things otherwise there'll be sack letter shown to him, at least he has this game and the Champions League game against Dortmund to show he has the job in control. Roma I don't criticize they should give Jose Mourinho tue player's he wants. AC Milan anyways will be without Giroud, I saw the act to his red card and he should have not reacted the way he did to the ref.

Roma should win even if they couldn't get to win against Lazio. They're in a better position and Romelu Lukaku after scoring four goals for his country Belgium will be boosted to do same against Udinese.

Yes indeed, so the point is that the team needs goals in every match, and not just have a lot of goals only in one match. But of course, if for example Lukaku can consistently make goals in every match even if only one goal, it will still be good for AS Roma also to consistently get points in each match. Because yes, at least the consideration is about AS Roma position in the current Serie A standings which at least, still looks difficult to be able to compete well in the top four. Therefore, although Lukaku has managed to have a lot of goals so far, but because AS Roma position is also not entirely good, then that factor at least does not have a balance with the good performance of the player.

It will be difficult for Salernitana to maintain itself in Serie A next season if it is still in last place in the standings. And in their home match this week there will also be no guarantee for Salernitana to win because Lazio will really try to get full points in that match because Lazio thinks that their opponent this time is an opponent who will make it easier for them to win. Apart from that, Lazio also can't make any mistakes because so far Lazio doesn't look any better than last season.

[giammangiato]

Juventus will probably have 5 players out with Inter.

Not a great start.

The likes of Timothy Weah, Mattia De Sciglio and Danilo are still unavailable due to injury while Locatelli is also a doubt for now because even if the recovery is going well but if Locatelli is forced to play this will definitely complicate things because it's definitely not good.

This could be a difficult situation for Juventus especially as we know Inter will definitely come out with a better squad. I don't expect anything from this situation but it's still possible for Juventus to bring in a draw if they can defend well because if theyre forced to play to keep up with Inter's fast attacking game it won't be good. 

I know, I am up to date and it is really unfortunate not to play at full strength against a strong opponent.

But I dont despair, I always hope that Juventus finds the strength of the champions within its heart and manages to keep up with a solid Inter.

I hope its a good, hard-fought and sweaty match. and i hope Juventus win, of course.

It could be said that Lukaku is very likely to become the top scorer in Serie A but Roma failed to finish in the top four of the standings (I know Martinez has scored 12 goals so far). That is the reality we see about Jose Mourinho current squad, but in essence his signing has a good impact on improving the club performance. On the other hand, it is reported that Roma and Chelsea management have agreed to a new agreement regarding Lukaku future status, Roma agreed to make the Belgian striker status permanent for a figure of 37 million pounds and Lukaku must be willing to reduce his salary.

Next, Roma will face Udinese in Week 13 of Serie A, this is an opportunity that must be utilized well to push into the top four of the standings, because Napoli and Fiorentina will face tough matches. I don't think Udinese is a tough opponent, because so far they have only been able to achieve one win in their 12 matches.

Theer's nothing wrong by giving a chance to play in the main squad but how capabale he is of doing that? Pioli was doing this caused by he has been forcing by the situation in the club. There are many players injured and pioli was taking 15 years old to play.
In my opinion if this a really bad decision. he has no enough experience to play against a team that is being placed at the 6th position. It's not about how young he was but it's about acmilan will be facing a strong club.
Putting young guy to play against a strong club is a very risky decision. I can't believe pioli puts child to play in the squad. Fiorentina can use his position as the focus to attack.
It's caused by he will be less competence in anything comparead with fiorentina's player. Very bad decision from pioli. Fiorentina will win against acmilan.

I would say that there are situations when that makes sense, yes normally you do not make a 15 year old play, but if the injury situation pushes you to the limit then you may have to do it.

I personally did that even in a game, and yes game is not the same as reality, but I can understand the thought process, for example you normally do not have 3 goalkeepers ready for a game, you have 2 that is ready, and third is probably a young one, but if not at least fourth is definitely not there, only have the youth team one, so if 2 of your goalkeepers are injured, then you play the third one, who could be young youth kid 15 year old, or even if into, then the backup at the bench will be that, and if the goalkeeper gets red card on a penalty position type of thing, the 15 year old backup from the youth team will take the place. These are all important things, and you should be aware that it may happen, not because manager wants to, but he is forced to do that.

I don't think Udinese is a tough opponent, because so far they have only been able to achieve one win in their 12 matches.

Udinese is not a difficult team and I think Roma will get fourth or fifth place. Although I think it won't be long because Napoli, Atalanta and Fiorentina also have one game left. But if you look at the next match card, Roma will likely be in fifth place in the standings assuming that Napoli or Atalanta win the match, and Fiorentina loses against AC Milan.

I was quite surprised to see Cagliari performance recently because from 4 latest matches in Serie A Cagliari can able to collect 7 points and they even only lose from Juventus from those matches so Cagliari is really showing significant progress although it's hard for them to avoiding relegation zone but gradually Cagliari can able to improved their position and avoiding that zone and this weekend they will fight against Monza and it's not easy to Cagliari to collect 3 points from this match because Monza also in the positive trend and they were unbeatable in the last 3 matches in all competitions but Cagliari is in the good shape and their manager Claudio Ranieri said Cagliari squad is really confident to facing this match and they have a target to beat Monza this weekend and Cagliari win has high odds @2.85

[BITCOIN4X]

Atalanta vs Napoli

IMO, this is an interesting match to look forward to following the negative results suffered by both teams in their last match. Currently Atalanta and Napoli both have a huge points gap with the top of the standings, that's 10 and 11 points. This match is difficult to predict because both teams are equally strong, but Atalanta, who is playing at home, might be considered superior to Napoli.

A draw would be very detrimental for both of them because Fiorentina, who is in 5th position, has the opportunity to improve their position if they are able to beat Milan. Napoli certainly hopes to maintain its position in the top 4 with a win, but Atalanta also has the same desire. There is no difference in probability, this is one of the matches that is difficult to predict in my opinion. Of the last 3 meetings between the two teams in Serie A, Napoli has always succeeded in beating Atalanta, but this time it is difficult to predict because Napoli have changed coaches.

Currently Atalanta and Napoli both have a huge points gap with the top of the standings, that's 10 and 11 points. This match is difficult to predict because both teams are equally strong, but Atalanta, who is playing at home, might be considered superior to Napoli.

They will start the match with three points in their minds because beating a direct competitor for a top four race is very good. They likely are unable to compete with Inter Milan or Juventus for Scudetto but a position in top four is reachable with them. Before the match, they have very slim difference on the table and if they win this match, they will continue to race with top four and also cut off one competitor for this race.

They will have to play well in rest of season to have a position in top four but anyway, this match is still important for their temporary ranking and their confidence to play in next matches.

Im sure lazio will able to beat salernitana easily. Salernitana is in a bad shape. Im not even doubting it. The only thing that scares me if salernitana will be lucky enough to get draw against laizo and that's really unacceptable result for sure.
Lazio is ready to gain three points from salernitana soon. I expect there will be more easy game against salernitana. Lazio is in a good condition right now. I hope that lazio win and that's enough. The scores didn't matter for me as im not betting on the total goals.
I was picking lazio but let's see how it will be going on. Lazio will not be wasting an opportunity to get three points as the team needs to climb upeven higher than before.
Three points can be locked easily. we will see that soon.

Lazio's last game against Roma ended in a draw but they were the better side. They looked slow at the beginning of the game but they gradually gained control of the match. They created some goalscoring chances but were denied by the crossbar and the prowess of Roma's goalkeeper. Salernitana will be gunning towards coming out of the relegation zone. They lost an ample opportunity to get a point in their last game against Sassuolo. They threw away a two-goal advantage after it looked like they would clinch the three points. Weighting both clubs' performances Lazio will have an easy match.

Salernitana is performing terribly. They have not won any games so far and are at the bottom of the league with 0 wins. I think Lazio will have an easy match. Even if they get 1 point and draw in this match, this will be a huge problem. You should not lose points against Salernitana. Even such a possibility threatens your position at the top.

But if you look at the next match card, Roma will likely be in fifth place in the standings assuming that Napoli or Atalanta win the match, and Fiorentina loses against AC Milan.

Given the current circumstances, it seems unlikely that Fiorentina will experience a defeat against AC Milan. ACmilan has been facing crisis, then fiorentina can take it as an opportunity. Even pioli has taken a young player from junior team to play in the main squad.
This proves that how bad the condition of acmilan at this moment. Some important players were injured like maignan or even leao. The absence of the main players in AC Milan's squad makes it extremely difficult to envision a scenario in which they emerge victorious against Fiorentina.
Im not being so skeptical but this is the reality that must be accepted by acmilan. We may be seeing the domination from fiorentina during the game against acmilan.

There will be many weakness spots owned by acmilan caused by it has no good players in the squad. There's no one can replace leao on his position yet pioli has been thinking so hard how to rotate his players.
Im not even interesting to watch this match caused by the result may scare me.

[Jody.Drummer]

Yes, I think Lazio will try their best to beat Salernitana because this is a good opportunity for Lazio to continue to progress to improve its position, Lazio has lost a lot of points this season and is struggling in the middle of the table fighting against mediocre teams, I think Lazio will be difficult to be in. Top 5 like last season.
Salernitana has been lucky for the last 2 seasons because they managed to survive the relegation zone, but it seems like this season is indeed a bad and unlucky season for them because Salernitana has had to fight very hard to stay in Serie A.

It will be difficult for Salernitana to maintain itself in Serie A next season if it is still in last place in the standings. And in their home match this week there will also be no guarantee for Salernitana to win because Lazio will really try to get full points in that match because Lazio thinks that their opponent this time is an opponent who will make it easier for them to win. Apart from that, Lazio also can't make any mistakes because so far Lazio doesn't look any better than last season.

Salernitana are not reliable at all, they have not even won a game this season, with only 5 draws and 7 defeats to their name, putting them at the bottom of the table.
Lazio is a good club, although now they are also unstable, but seeing their opponent is Salernitana, I think we will all agree to say the same thing that Lazioa will win this match easily.
I don't see them having the strength and ability to beat Lazio in this match other than luck is on their side so that they can win the match.

Even though the conditions have not been very good in the last few matches, I believe AC Milan will not let Fiorentina party at the San Siro. Apart from that, Stefano Pioli will also do everything to get three points for the Rossoneri. However, unfortunately several of Milan's mainstay players had to rest due to various conditions. But of course Pioli has prepared other strategies to cover weaknesses in various sectors, especially on the front lines. I predict this match will be tough and Milan has the opportunity to secure three points.

[QueenVera]

If the home factor can be advantageous for Salernitana in the match against Lazio, perhaps the best result that can be achieved is a draw because in several previous matches, the home factor did not give them any advantage and only a draw could be achieved.
The visiting team will actually maximize their match against this fairly weak team to improve their position, and also to end the two bad results they had in the previous match.
Salernitana were lucky enough to be able to escape the relegation zone for two seasons because since they moved up from Serie B, their performance has been bad and they have always been a team that is fighting to be able to play in Serie A next season, but this time it looks like there will be no more luck for them and they will play in Serie B because they have too few points and it is difficult to improve the ranking even though there are still many matches left for this season.

Lazio is a stronger team than Salernitana to some mild extent and they tend to pose a very little threat to them, in this weekend's clash, Lazio would be playing away for home and Salernitana would have the benefit of being host to subdue the threat of Lazio, Athough if worse comes to worse and Salernitana still puts up the mode of Olay as they've had before now, then it's very much likely that they either concede a win or the game ends fairly.

 This team has so been lagging behind in all their performances and they've been so lucky in the past two seasons that they're just able to take a hop past the relegation, this season may not be their lucky season because their results have been extremely poor and to even think of trying to secure a spot out of relegation would be difficult, yes there are enough matches left capable of taking them out of the season, but at the moment, it's not about football being unpredictable or not, it's just going to take a while lot of victories and sadly, they're not even up to the task.

[hahay]

Next, Roma will face Udinese in Week 13 of Serie A, this is an opportunity that must be utilized well to push into the top four of the standings, because Napoli and Fiorentina will face tough matches. I don't think Udinese is a tough opponent, because so far they have only been able to achieve one win in their 12 matches.

Udinese is not a difficult team and I think Roma will get fourth or fifth place. Although I think it won't be long because Napoli, Atalanta and Fiorentina also have one game left. But if you look at the next match card, Roma will likely be in fifth place in the standings assuming that Napoli or Atalanta win the match, and Fiorentina loses against AC Milan.

Basically, AS Roma this season has had good results for home matches, but Udinese does not have an impressive record for away matches because Udinese mostly get draws in away matches. Therefore, of course AS Roma will be the favorite team to win this match, because AS Roma will also be playing at home. It doesn't matter whether AS Roma will move up or not in the Serie A standings after beating Udinese later, because the most important thing for AS Roma at this moment is to be consistent in achieving three points. Because yes, of course if AS Roma succeeds consistently in getting points then as time goes by of course AS Roma will also be in a better position in the Serie A standings.
