Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Jatiluhung]

Osimhen could be a tactical solution from the manager to strengthen the attacks in last minutes while atlanta players at low concentration, his impact was undeniable as he contributed to Napoli's second goal. The competition for the top 3 spots in Serie A is so intense now, and Napoli's determination to close the gap on Milan is evident.

Although Osimhen did not score in this match, his 1 assist managed to bring Napoli to 3 points while making Mazzari's debut very good in this match.
The match was quite tough but in the end this was a positive result and enough to ease the situation of Napoli, which in recent weeks has always received a lot of criticism because of its appearance which tends to decline.
This is a good momentum for Mazzari and do not let this opportunity be wasted because with the victory now it will not mean if their momentum is not maintained.

Napoli's performance since the season started has not been very good. They sometimes play well but sometimes they also play badly. Their inconsistency this season is very different from their performance last season, which was always consistent. Rudi Garcia even had to accept he was fired after Napoli lost to Empoli. And even though it was a defeat at home, Napoli's reputation really fell as a result of that match. So the club must firmly fire Rudi Garcia. But currently Napoli's new coach, Walter Mazzarri, may indeed have made a good debut. But Osimhen's contribution in the second half was also one of the keys to this victory. And actually, if the Atalanta players hadn't made mistakes, maybe the match could have ended in a draw. So I think the real test to assess Napoli's new coach is the next match against Real Madrid. I'm curious what strategy he can use when facing one of the holders of the most Champions League trophies. And I will have high respect for Napoli's new coach if Napoli can hold Real Madrid to a draw in that match.

Don't forget that today there is a very interesting match that we shouldn't miss. Namely the Juventus vs Inter Milan match. The results of this match can determine who will temporarily occupy first place. Will Inter be able to maintain their current ranking or will Juventus take it from them. this will be very interesting. But Juventus as the host might be the favorite this time.

But I am more worried if there are offers with large salaries to Mourinho from Arab clubs, which currently do not hesitate to make fantastic salary offers to every player or coach they want.

In fact, there were rumors that Roma had contacted Conte. but if Juventus is better and can meet Conte's requirements. it looks like Conte will go to Juve next season.
regarding Mourinho, there is no sign yet that he will be extended at Roma. and if there is an offer from an Arab club. I think that will only happen when Mou will actually be unemployed coaching a European team.
So far Mourinho's performance in Roma is not bad. but if the club is targeting trophies, that might be quite difficult for Mourinho.

Napoli with their breakdown they faced in the team weeks back resolved for a change of hands. Mazarri within the last week was very much anticipated, his debut game was closely watched and yes he secured a win, It's a good beginning for him, it's helped him gain good balance and confidence to some extent and very much likely, he's expected to do more for the team.

 Yes, the decision to bring him to the team was for the teams growth, he's had past praises of shaping our better quality teams and players too and we believe Napoli won't be exempted in his display of skills, they secured a win in their first league game, we hope to see his performance in the Champion's league this week away from home to Madrid, It won't be as easy as they'd expect considering the quality and style of players in Madrid but we hope to see him rub shoulders and compete well for a win.

Napili president, Aurelio De Laurentiis simply seeks the best results and development for Napoli, he's incharge and can appoints any manager he decides. Rudi Garcia failed to fill in the shows of Luciano Spalleti and got fire by the board, we know Gli Azzurri are tougher, more reason they need a winning points in matches played. We shouldn't be in a rush to give the new boss, Walter Mazzarri his flowers in just fewer games played, there are more tough games ahead and if he manage to scale through, only then we can acknowledge him as a prominent coach for Napoli this season.

Filippo Inzaghi finally can able to bringing Salernitana to gets their first winning in Serie A and he was train this team since last month and Salernitana progress under him is quite good because from the last 5 matches under him Salernitana can able to gets 1 win and 2 draws and yesterday Salernitana has been successfully to beat tough team Lazio and actually i have no idea what happend to Lazio because on that match they were displayed poor performance even a bit surprised because Salernitana performance was more good than them and this result indeed hasn't lifted Salernitana position on league standings but at least they can able to earn 3 points which make Salernitana has 2 points below to Empoli which is the team on 17th place

So far Mourinho's performance in Roma is not bad. but if the club is targeting trophies, that might be quite difficult for Mourinho.

I also heard this rumor. But as far as I remember, this rumor appeared around the end of September or the beginning of October. And it looks like the rumors have died out by themselves. But if Mourinho does not extend his contract at AS Roma. So I think Conte is indeed a suitable coach to handle AS Roma besides Mourinho. But all of that is just rumors.

And regarding Mourinho, who was rumored to be going to the Saudi Pro League club, it also seems that he received a direct response from Mourinho. And I was quite surprised to hear Mourinho's statement. Because apparently he said that he was interested in going to the Saudi Pro League someday. But he said not in the near future. Maybe he still wants to continue as a coach at a European club for longer. But my gut feeling is that if there is a high offer then Mourinho will not hesitate to take it. Because indirectly he also expressed his interest.

This is a good momentum for Mazzari and do not let this opportunity be wasted because with the victory now it will not mean if their momentum is not maintained.

We can say that Mazzari has a positive impact on the team. Napoli deserved to be appreciated for the game they played. Mazzari started with a difficult match but passed without a loss. I can say that I saw in his first match that he read the game and helped the team get into better shape. I hope we see Napoli on fire like last year.

Yes, it's true, this will be a big match in Serie A this season, seeing as two equally strong clubs are fighting for first place, I'm sure Allegri has prepared a good strategy for this match when he hosts Inter Milan later.
Other clubs such as Milan and Napoli are not strong candidates to win the title because these two clubs have not been very consistent lately and continue to get erratic and difficult to predict results. Which is very different from the two leaders who have appeared consistent in the last matches.

Juventus has a good opportunity this season because Juventus does not play in the European League or Champions League so Juventus still has enough energy to appear impressive in the matches they will face in Serie A. Juventus must fight for the Scudetto again this season which was previously taken by another team. previous season.

The duel entitled Derby d'Italia is an interesting treat that will be present this week, the two elite Serie A teams are currently also struggling to control the capital. Apart from that, what was interesting in this match was seeing the special duel between Allegri and Inzaghi. If you look at the record of the two meetings, Allegri must be wary of Inzaghi's superiority.

It's hard to guess it right now. The match between juventus vs interimlan will be the biggest match this week. Intermilan is still getting perfect result even though it has ever lost against a middle tier team but intermilan was able solving the problem faced during that game asap.
Simeone was meticulously preparing every aspect of the game in order to secure a victory against Juventus. However, the only hurdle in their path is the fact that Juventus will be playing at home against Milan, which might significantly boost the morale and mindset of their entire team.
Intermilan needs to put bigger pressure during the game to make sure juventus will be losing its mentality. Continously pressuring juventus will make the club create mistake.
It will give opportunity for intermilan to win the game.

Romelu Lukaku is in an amazing form man, agreed. But he has been much more impressive when it comes to Euro 2024 qualifiers. He scored 14 goals in 8 games which is insane. I can't say that he is bad in the Serie A either as his number of goals scored is 6 in 10 games. But in the recent league games his rating was quite low.

Maybe this could be an opportunity for Lukaku to make improvement in his average rating at the same time. He has a really good chemistry with the Serie A so he should continue to show this more consistently.

Good look at tje big man for Belgium and As Roma, your checks are valid and accurate. But, you know what? He doesn't need improvements in his ratings, we need to look at the various environments and those around him.
Don't forget he is only a goal scorer ( Give me the ball after creating the chances so I put it at the back of the net for you ) With As Roma he has reduced creativity and support, that's the main reason to his reduced goals scored in Italian Seria A.

For the national team and duties, go check the creative players he has got amd how they play to his strength. Doku for example makes the scoring easier for whichever attacker he plays with. He's doing same for Manchester City and Erling Haaland. Romelu Lukaku also heaped praises on the lad.

Jose Mourinho doesn't have enough quality players who can create these chances for him, anyways, he seems to be in a better form than he was last season.

Honestly yeah I'll give you that there about Lukaku's playing style. He is more like a finisher like you have said. He is really good at it as well this season. I assume Mourinho is very contented with his work done so far in the league as well. The only thing he would like to see from him is to be consistent during the season.

Can he be that consistent? Why not? Like I said he likes to play in this league. His performance at Chelsea wasn't even close to his performance level in this league. Not only Chelsea though. He wasn't good at all in the Premier League.

Jose Mourinho should make sure he improve his winger's and attacking midfielders, they should supply more balls in for Romelu Lukaku.
He is always in the eighteen yard box ready to nod In and strike with his left foot. I will also say Jose Mourinho is happy for him other wise he'll be dumped on the bench. Jose Mourinho is a coach that doesn't take disrespect.

Yes he can! He wasn't happy during his time with Chelsea everybody knows that, they didn't play to his strength and he was having a good relationship with Thomas Tuchel. It was wise decision to leave. He wasn't bad completely in the Premier League, you should go see his stats for Everton and his first season for Manchester United. Lol!

[slapper]

Even though Mazzarri's debut at Napoli was considered quite good, he succeeded in making Napoli get full points. But I think his skills as a coach will still be tested with the 3 most difficult matches for Napoli this season. That is, in 4 days Napoli will have a match in the Champions League. And Napoli will visit Real Madrid's headquarters. And I think it's a very difficult match for Napoli. Because in Napoli's first meeting against Real Madrid last October, Napoli had to accept defeat in front of their own fans. And now Napoli will face Real Madrid in front of Real Madrid fans. I think this will really be a very tough test for Mazzarri as Napoli's new coach. Garcia failed to make Napoli beat Real Madrid. So now it's Mazzarri's turn to test his strategy against Real Madrid in the next match.

In fact, it's not just that. Because after fighting Real Madrid, Napoli will also face another difficult match in Serie A, namely against Inter Milan. And after that the following week Napoli also have a match scheduled against Juventus. I think Mazzarri's job was really full of obstacles when he first joined as Napoli coach. But it would be very surprising if Napoli achieved good results in the next 3 matches.

It does require consistency, and this is only the first match but we can see that there is a change for the better in the performance of the Napoli team, plus the opponent they are facing is Atalanta, which is one of the strong teams in Serie A, so it is clear that Napoli's victory is quite important for them. in the next match.
Napoli's new coach Mazzarri certainly has quite high targets and loads, but I see Napoli's performance is different in Mazzarri's hands and I am quite optimistic that they can be better under Mazzarri's coaching.

Like you, Im optimistic about Napoli under Mazzarri, but we need manage our expectations. Defeating Serie A powerhouse Atalanta is impressive, but its just one game. Consistency wins football games. I think we should wait a few matches before appreciating Mazzarri's potential. Napoli was solid last year but unstable this season. Still cautiously hopeful with Mazzarri at the lead. Before making any decisions, lets watch how they play future games.

Football, especially coaching, may change unexpectedly. After Mazzarri's first win, the real challenge will be maintaining that level of performance. The team must adjust to his strategies to meet his high standards. Excitement and adjustment are involved. Watching Mazzarri and the team improve in the next few matches is exciting.

[Majestic-milf]

 Monza look to be finding it difficult to put a low rated Cagliari in their place and even find it more difficult to score. Despite having the greater ball possession of 53%, they can't turn their hold on the ball into something useful as you'd find them being stopped by the formidable wall of the Cagliari defense and if you ask me, they'd need to put in more effort if they hope to get three points to see them fly past Roma and Lazio for the time being. Their last five games saw them winning two, drawing two and losing one and if nothing is done to rectify this goal they've conceded, they may as well kiss their chances of climbing up goodbye because I don't see them winning Juventus when they meet next weekend if they can't win a weak side as Cagliari.

[rendravolt]

Finally we can see Milan getting their win again after the previous 4 matches they always failed to get the full 3 points. I think even though this is a hard-won victory for them, at least they can regain their current position in the standings and remain on track for the title.

Theo Hernandez became Milan's hero in this match through the goal he scored towards the end of the first half and this narrow lead did not change until the match was over. A good win in front of the fans and the result of this defeat means Fiorentina has to be stuck in 6th position and is likely to be replaced by Roma if Mourinho's squad can beat Udinese.

[tusandii]

Last season Napoli won the Scudetto title, but unfortunately the Napoli team has not shown their aggressive performance like last season.
Juventus and Inter Milan are of course two strong candidates to win the Scudetto title this season, especially as both teams have very stable playing performance in every match they play, so this meeting will be a crucial duel for both teams because they want to be at the top of the standings. For the Inter Milan team, winning this match will be an opportunity to take points from their rival team, while for the Juventus team, winning this match will be an opportunity to overtake the position of the Inter Milan team. at the top of the standings.

Napoli were not as aggressive as last season, perhaps because the coach changed and Napoli did not recruit many new players to strengthen their defense line and Victor Oshimen suffered an injury which forced him to be absent for a month, causing Napoli's performance to decline and Napoli has suffered three defeats so far and the most painful when facing Empoli.

Juventus and Inter are many people's favorites to fight for the Scudetto this season seeing their consistent performance and this match will determine which club is stronger in the race for first place but I predict a 2:2 draw.

[makishart]

Filippo Inzaghi finally can able to bringing Salernitana to gets their first winning in Serie A and he was train this team since last month and Salernitana progress under him is quite good because from the last 5 matches under him Salernitana can able to gets 1 win and 2 draws and yesterday Salernitana has been successfully to beat tough team Lazio and actually i have no idea what happend to Lazio because on that match they were displayed poor performance even a bit surprised because Salernitana performance was more good than them and this result indeed hasn't lifted Salernitana position on league standings but at least they can able to earn 3 points which make Salernitana has 2 points below to Empoli which is the team on 17th place

It really surprises me about how lazio is having better quality in everything compared with salernita was able to losing against its opponent. I can't even believe it inzaghi has made it happen.
Many people were trapped in this match and im sure many of them were suffering the loss. Lazio performed so badly and it seems like this team has no chance anymore to compete for UCL spot. Im not talking about scudetto caused by lazio has no chance to do that.
What an embarassing result for lazio. Lazio is a garbage team now and i hope management can sack its coach. I hope salernitana will able to become another leverkusen once inzaghi manages it.

[Jody.Drummer]

Filippo Inzaghi finally can able to bringing Salernitana to gets their first winning in Serie A and he was train this team since last month and Salernitana progress under him is quite good because from the last 5 matches under him Salernitana can able to gets 1 win and 2 draws and yesterday Salernitana has been successfully to beat tough team Lazio and actually i have no idea what happend to Lazio because on that match they were displayed poor performance even a bit surprised because Salernitana performance was more good than them and this result indeed hasn't lifted Salernitana position on league standings but at least they can able to earn 3 points which make Salernitana has 2 points below to Empoli which is the team on 17th place

This was Salernitana's first win of the season, so it's certainly a result that will hopefully be a breath of fresh air for their next outing. However, this victory is very important for them to boost their confidence again.
Yes Inzaghi when compared to their previous coach, then I can say he is better, as evidenced by the first victory they got. and also this victory they did not get easily, because the opponent they faced was also not a weak team, Lazio is a good club just in a bad situation at the moment.

[topbitcoin]

Although Osimhen did not score in this match, his 1 assist managed to bring Napoli to 3 points while making Mazzari's debut very good in this match.
The match was quite tough but in the end this was a positive result and enough to ease the situation of Napoli, which in recent weeks has always received a lot of criticism because of its appearance which tends to decline.

And actually, if the Atalanta players hadn't made mistakes, maybe the match could have ended in a draw. So I think the real test to assess Napoli's new coach is the next match against Real Madrid. I'm curious what strategy he can use when facing one of the holders of the most Champions League trophies. And I will have high respect for Napoli's new coach if Napoli can hold Real Madrid to a draw in that match.

Don't forget that today there is a very interesting match that we shouldn't miss. Namely the Juventus vs Inter Milan match. The results of this match can determine who will temporarily occupy first place. Will Inter be able to maintain their current ranking or will Juventus take it from them. this will be very interesting. But Juventus as the host might be the favorite this time.

I agree because if only in this match there were not many blunders made by Atalanta players, they could still hold a draw but there were some separate mistakes made by Atalanta players because they played the ball too often in their own defense area which actually made Napoli profitable. There were several similar mistakes even though only one goal could be maximized but there were 2 or 3 times Atalanta did the same thing which ultimately hurt themselves.
But in any case this is worth appreciating because these 3 points are important for them.

For today's match between Inter and Juventus I actually don't expect much because I think Inter still has the advantage in this match and I will still bet on Inter with the current situation.

[hahay]

Also, based on statistics at least Lazio is not bad at all but indeed, Lazio does not have many attempted shots on target. So ya, maybe this factor also makes it seem like Lazio doesn't have a good finisher in the team, so they aren't able to score more goals in this match. Actually, I thought this would be an easy match for Lazio but ya, in reality Salernitana managed to improve their performance in the second half. Therefore, Salernitana also managed to score two goals in the second half while sealing the win with a score of 2-1. At least, congratulations to Salernitana for managing to get their first win this season.

Osimhen's effort in assisting the goal also deserves applause. Napoli are not playing well in general this season. One game they play very well, the next game they can be very bad. I think there is something missing in the team, I would say there is something missing in terms of focus. They need to overcome that.

Napoli will have a big test in the game against Real Madrid. They don't have much time to overcome their deficiencies. I think it will be difficult for them to take points from Real Madrid, but everything is possible in football.

I see Inter as the favorites in today's match, but it could end in a draw because they are playing away.

Stefano Pioli insists he saw ‘progress’ from Milan in their 1-0 victory over Fiorentina, even if it wasn’t the most exhilarating performance, and jokes he could be Francesco Camarda’s grandfather.

https://football-italia.net/pioli-milan-made-progress-against-fiorentina/

I don't even see any improvement that happened in milan. It was winning through penalty and nothing special from that. Acmilan got various chances but it is always unable in coverting it into the goal. I can't even agree with pioli as he said that acmilan has shown an improvement against fiorentina.
Nothing changed. Acmilan keeps being so wasteful with any opportunities that happened during the game. Fiorentina was not lucky enough caused by acmilan got penalty but the performance from both of clubs are the same.
There's no domination that came from acmilan against fiorentina. Let's wait till acmilan is going to face a big club in UCL. It may be struggling again against dortmund. Pioli may make such a statement to make his players feel confidence before the most important game soon.
Pioli shall not be over praised with his team. The journey is still continue. Praising his team a lot with average performance will make his club will have no improvement against dortmund.

Finally we can see Milan getting their win again after the previous 4 matches they always failed to get the full 3 points. I think even though this is a hard-won victory for them, at least they can regain their current position in the standings and remain on track for the title.

Theo Hernandez became Milan's hero in this match through the goal he scored towards the end of the first half and this narrow lead did not change until the match was over. A good win in front of the fans and the result of this defeat means Fiorentina has to be stuck in 6th position and is likely to be replaced by Roma if Mourinho's squad can beat Udinese.

Jose Mourinho side will deffo win today, they have to ensure that. Them general performance in the league has to increase, even if they're trying, they're still struggling and needs to up them performance.. I'm rooting for the Romans and then for Romelu Lukaku to be amongst the names to score today. After scoring four goals during the international break he should maintain that form for As Roma too today.

The win wasn't good enough to say they've picked up a good form, they struggled for that one goal anyways. That win should reduce the pressure of thr neck of AC Milans manager ( Pioli ) Can they repeat same win against Borrussia Dortmund in the Champions League?
