Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Bobrox]

they managed to draw with 9 players, which was truly incredible from my point of view
you know I'm not a big fan of Jose Mourinho, in fact I think he's just a presumptuous person paid too much
but in this match both he and the team performed a small miracle

Jose Mourinho is manager with typical more playing defensive than offensive, with 9 players left after Romelu Lukaku sent off on 88th minutes and AS Roma have loss their player before Nicola Zalewski got red card is not have many option except try to defend draw result. Not really bad result for AS Roma with one of three points on home match against Fiorentina with 9 player left on the field, but Roma loss the opportunity keep pressure AC Milan on the top position with four points left.

Current top fourth position from AS Roma not secure yet have Bologna, Napoli and Fiorentina will get AS Roma position if loss points on upcoming match. Some time, Jose Mourinho have change with his scheme not playing more defensive but have to play more offensive and score many goals on every match.

I hear rumors about Zlatan Ibrahimovic becoming a coach of AC Milan and replacing the current AC Milan coach. Is this true?
Ibrahimovic doesn't have any experience as a coach and such experiment would be extremely risky. I remember other AC Milan legends like Clarence Seedorf and Gennaro Gattuso being appointed in this position, but they failed and AC Milan was in a crisis for a long period.
My bet would be Inter winning this season of Serie A. I don't see any good competitors of Inter. Maybe Juventus is the only team, that can challenge the dominance of Inter, but I'm not sure about it.

If it is true that AC Milan will make Ibrahimovic a coach, then it makes them like guinea pigs because they will use someone who has no experience as a coach. But from the news I heard, Ibrahimovic himself refused to do so, for whatever reason, he probably also thought that his ability was not yet able to handle a team as big as AC Milan.
Anything can happen, including this one player will change his mind over time. Or this could be one way for AC Milan to make their current coach feel threatened, so it could raise his motivation. Because AC MIlan itself will replace him if he doesn't give them the title.

It was a great comeback from Cagliari. But still, in this match, Cagliari was almost embarrassed in front of its own supporters. But luck was on Cagliari's side. Because Sassuolo only played with 10 players from the 62nd minute after R. Tressoldi got a red card. Cagliari has now successfully moved away from the relegation zone. Although it is still not at a safe point because Cagliari's points difference with teams in the relegation zone is only 1 point. And just one defeat or one draw next week could put Cagliari back into the relegation zone.

Yes, it was a great comback. In the first half the both teams could be said to be equal, but when a Sassuolo player received a red card in second half it make became difficult for Sassuolo. Indeed, Cagliari almost embarrassed if their players didn't have luck in the last minutes.
That's right, Cagliari current position is still not safe. Especially, if according to the schedule this week they will play against Napoli, I personally doubt Cagliari can continue their victory on next matchday 16. The reason is, although Napoli also don't have an impressive record in their last few matches, but Napoli still a high wall for Cagliari, in my opinion it would be very surprising if Cagliari could get points in that game.

Roma's performance this season is very good due to Mourinho's match strategy, Lukaku and Dybala's good performances. Roma are among the top four in the table this season. Lukaku has 7 goals and 1 assist in 13 games this season. He scored four goals in 5 Europa League matches. Dybala has only scored 4 goals in 11 matches but he has managed 6 important assists. Cristante and Belotti's performances are also excellent. For these reasons we all expected Roma to win against Ferentina. Had Nicola Zalewski not received the red card, the result of the match might have been in Roma's favor. Roma's performance in the second half was too slow for this red card. After Zalewski's red card, Roma couldn't create any strong attacking opportunities.

Jose Mourinho is a very good coach, infact one of the best in the world currently, he's had experience in several European leagues and won lots of trophies and kept good records wherever he goes to, last season he played the Europa League final with his current team against Sevilla and almost won but luck ran out of his sight, however he's still a very good coach and has used his experience and good strategy to get Roma this far in the Serie A and I won't be suprised if they finish top 3 and qualify for the UCL.

 Well I think the best thing Jose Mourinho did this season is by signing Romelu Lukaku to his team even though it's not a permanent deal, cause since Lukaku's arrival they've been doing pretty good upfront and he's made Roma's final third look more decorated with his good finishing, well they were very unlucky to had conceded a red card in their previous match but they really tried in securing a point with one man down.

after Mourinho efforts to try to bring in Lukaku, initially there was a lot of bad criticism aimed at Roma and there were still many who doubted Roma at that time, even I myself had doubts, but unfortunately we forgot something very important, if Lukaku previously had experience in Serie A with Inter, so this player doesn't need much time to understand the playing style in Series A and on the one hand Lukaku really understands the character of each team in Series A.
So it's only natural that Lukaku arrival gives a positive impression on Roma and in fact, even though it's not very consistent, Mourinho team is able to rank 4th in the standings and that means Lukaku arrival has made a very good contribution to Roma. but unfortunately this player in yesterday's match had to receive a red card after making a foul that was very dangerous to opposing players and the suspension that Lukaku had to go through deservedly had to be accepted so that he wouldn't commit the same offense again.

I hear rumors about Zlatan Ibrahimovic becoming a coach of AC Milan and replacing the current AC Milan coach. Is this true?

Ibrahimovic returns to Milan not as a coach, he will be part of Milan's management.
According to reports I read, he will assume duties as Milan's operational partner and senior advisor. So, Ibrahimovic's work area is in the club office, not on the side of the pitch accompanying the players while they are playing.

My bet would be Inter winning this season of Serie A. I don't see any good competitors of Inter. Maybe Juventus is the only team, that can challenge the dominance of Inter, but I'm not sure about it.

Currently only Juventus poses a serious threat to Inter, while Milan is still far behind both of them. Inter are only two points ahead of Juventus, the possibility of these two teams changing positions is very big because the competition still has many matches left. Inter also has to divide their focus on the UCL, while Juventus only focuses on the domestic league.

All the teams coached by Jose Mourinho achieved good results, that's why many teams wanted to make Jose Mourinho the coach, even Jose Mourinho, if I'm not mistaken, was reported that there was a Saudi Arabian club that wanted this man to be the coach there, but I only briefly heard about it and if Jose Mourinho There, of course, you will get a very large salary, but it seems that Jose Mourinho still wants to be at Roma. I think that before Roma gets really good results, Jose Mourinho will not leave this club and Jose Mourinho is the right coach with a lot of experience coaches big clubs European League.

I think Jose Mourinho must be thinking about that because Lukaku is very suitable for AS Roma and is one of the important players, he has contributed a lot of goals for Roma so far, but unfortunately in yesterday's match Lukaku had a problem, namely getting a red card which forced him to leave. field but at least Lukaku scored first so the match didn't end in defeat.

I hear rumors about Zlatan Ibrahimovic becoming a coach of AC Milan and replacing the current AC Milan coach. Is this true?

It's not true. Ibrahimovic was coming back sernior advisor and he has not been announcing as a replacement for pioli. Acmilan is still using pioli to become an apointment for the club. As you can see that if there was no an announcement about that.
I mean, if the fact that if pioli was still there and there was no confirmation if he has been fired from the club. This means that if acmilan is not even interesting to kick him out.
Ibra has been recruited caused by he has so many experiences as football players. this is also the main reason he was also accepting acmilan's offer. He has been also announced by the club as well.

Ibrahimovic doesn't have any experience as a coach and such experiment would be extremely risky. I remember other AC Milan legends like Clarence Seedorf and Gennaro Gattuso being appointed in this position, but they failed and AC Milan was in a crisis for a long period.
My bet would be Inter winning this season of Serie A. I don't see any good competitors of Inter. Maybe Juventus is the only team, that can challenge the dominance of Inter, but I'm not sure about it.

It's not a coach. You can try to browse some articles related to that thing. I meant that if ibra is not becoming a coach for acmilan.
Senior advisor is the right position to be given for ibra caused by he was also a legend.

Today Cagliari vs Sassuolo team match was amazing. I was very worried which team will win today's game. Whenever I looked at the points table I saw that both teams are at the same position in the points table. Sassuolo is at the 15th position. Cagliari is at the 16th position. For this  It was very difficult to predict which team will win the game. Sassuolo did not play well despite leading the points table. Sassuolo team scored 1 goal in today's match. If Sassuolo team could have scored 1 more goal they could have drawn the match but they didn't.

I think Jose Mourinho must be thinking about that because Lukaku is very suitable for AS Roma and is one of the important players, he has contributed a lot of goals for Roma so far, but unfortunately in yesterday's match Lukaku had a problem, namely getting a red card which forced him to leave. field but at least Lukaku scored first so the match didn't end in defeat.

Well I think if Jose Mourinho wanted to leave Roma then the big offer from the Saudi side would had made him move over there, I believe he'll move there someday but currently he's loyal to Roma club and devoted to helping them achieve success this season. I also believe he'll want to achieve something with the club to add to his good record and since he was almost close to achieving a trophy with them last season, maybe that encouraged him to stay and currently the team is doing fine with him, if they continue with consistency they could finish top 4 and qualify for the UCL, which is also a good achievement.

 With the way Lukaku is performing this season, he should be one of José Mourinho's favorite players cause he's been very goof at finding the back of the net and his numbers continue to increase in each fixtures they have but however friend i think Roma would had won that game if Zalewski didn’t concede a red card 1st and to make it worst Romelu Lukaku also got booked and now they have to face Bologna without him.

There was a moment where Jose Mourinho gave instructions via a piece of paper that he gave to the ball boy. The paper contains tactics for the Roma players who had to play with 9 people after two players had to be sent off by the referee in the match. The situation at that time was that Roma was under pressure and Fiorentina received a corner kick so Jose Mourinho didn't have much time to give directions and the ball boy gave the piece of paper to goalkeeper Rui Patricio so he could convey his message to his teammates. However, if you look at it from another angle, the image instructs El Shaarawy and Edoardo Bove to help defend on the side of the goal post. Jose Mourinho always does things that really surprise everyone and at least he doesn't want his team to lose at home even though they are playing with only 9 people.

But I appreciate the strategy made by Jose Mourinho for AS Roma in that match. Because the proof is that they can survive with a draw even though they only play with 9 people. But still, I really regret Lukaku who had to get a straight red card without receiving a yellow card first. I hope Lukaku is more careful in this matter. But it is not uncommon to see Lukaku get a red card, even at his previous clubs. But right now Roma really needs Lukaku. Luckily, AS Roma was able to defend well in this match. And the match could end with a share of points.

And actually defending with 10 players without conceding a goal since the 63rd minute was quite difficult for AS Roma. So they conceded 1 goal in the 66th minute. But unexpectedly it was Lukaku who then made a very dangerous tackle which got him sent off the field and made it even more difficult for AS Roma when they had to play with 9 players from the 88th minute. Luckily the US squad Roma can maintain that their goal is not conceded. But it was still a really fierce and quite hot match.

I think Lukaku deserved a red card because he made a dangerous tackle on a Fiorentina player and the Fiorentina player's socks were even torn as a result of being hit by Lukaku's hard tackle. Roma will be very devastated by the loss of Lukaku who will have to miss the next few matches and Roma will certainly have a hard time finding a replacement for Lukaku because no one is as productive as him.

Playing with 9 players is certainly not easy and at the same time they are under pressure and it must be admitted that Jose Mourinho was immediately responsive in dealing with this situation and he was able to do very important things to keep Roma's goal from conceding. So a draw was obtained and the two teams are still 1 point apart this week.

[samuraijin]

Honestly, my opinion is that the Juventus vs Napoli match is very clear that Juventus is really smart at finding gaps in Napoli's weaknesses by exploiting passes from the left corner of Napoli's goal where Napoli's defensive weakness is on Napoli's left side, so it's not surprising that Juventus can get a goal with Federico Gatti's header takes advantage of his superior height..

In the second half, Napoli almost equalized, but the linesman had raised his hand to indicate that Victor Osimhen was in the Offsite position, so there was no such thing as luck, but Juventus were really smart in looking for gaps in their enemy's weaknesses...

The league is almost halfway through the season and the race for the title is still very competitive. Juventus and Inter are really competing with a difference of only 2 points. I agree with you that Juventus is a team that is good at finding gaps in opponents' weaknesses. Even though Juventus' weakness here is in their strikers, this can be seen from the number of goals scored which is only 23 goals, but they can play very well with their defense so they often win with narrow scores.

When the match between Juventus and Inter ends in a draw, the competition continues to continue in the same way. Juventus is an important team and normally I would expect Vlahovic to score more goals. However, if we look at the number of goals scored, it is obvious that there is a problem. Offensive players need to be better. They should not waste even the smallest positions this season when they follow Inter.

Nothing changed after the derby match, Inter Milan still leads the standings for the time being, Juventus is only 2 points behind Inter MIlan.

Talking about Dusan Vlahovic, it seems like he loses confidence when facing the goalkeeper or in front of the goalkeeper or indeed Dusan Vlahovic's infertility, of course this will be a frustration for him because Dusan Vlahovic always fails when in front of the goal or kicking a penalty, not just once Dusan Vlahovic experienced this. failure when taking a penalty and even doing it very often, But here Massimiliano Allegri still trusts Dusan Vlahovic to take the penalty and even his team members agree with their coach.

The target of the Juventus team itself is to be able to win even if it is only by a narrow score, because only with that can Juventus continue to stick to the leader of the standings with a very close number of points even though there are shortcomings in terms of the number of goals. I'm still quite confident that Juventus will continue to be consistent until the end of the season because Juventus is only thinking about Serie A this season so Juventus doesn't need to put their minds on other competitions.

Whenever I looked at the points table I saw that both teams are at the same position in the points table. Sassuolo is at the 15th position. Cagliari is at the 16th position. For this  It was very difficult to predict which team will win the game. Sassuolo did not play well despite leading the points table. Sassuolo team scored 1 goal in today's match. If Sassuolo team could have scored 1 more goal they could have drawn the match but they didn't.

Sassuolo were actually very likely to end the match with 1-0 but unfortunately, in the 62nd minute Sassuolo defender Ruan Tressoldi received a red card. But even so, at least Sassulo had a very good chance to end the match with 3 points but unfortunately, Cagliari managed to make 2 goals in the extra time or in the +90th minute.

Therefore, whether this is a decent result or not, because basically it is not easy for Cagliari to score even though they are playing at home in this match. But ya, at least with this win, it makes Cagliari manage to get out of the relegation zone currently, even though it is only temporary but at least it can make the morale of Cagliari players better at this moment.

Playing with 9 players is certainly not easy and at the same time they are under pressure and it must be admitted that Jose Mourinho was immediately responsive in dealing with this situation and he was able to do very important things to keep Roma's goal from conceding. So a draw was obtained and the two teams are still 1 point apart this week.

Even though it is a high-tension match, of course Mourinho has to do this so that they don't lose points and it will affect their ranking, but with a draw, getting at least one point is a good result with 9 players, even so the competition is getting tighter between the two with one point difference even with Napoli and Bologna who will try to fight for the top four positions in the standings. Roma can still maintain their position safely for now.

I think that Lukaku getting a red card will certainly be detrimental to Roma in the next match which will of course be played without Lukaku, however, Mourinho must really prepare everything thoroughly in order to maintain his top four position even though the competition is getting tougher, against Bologna and Napoli in the next match will be Roma's tough opponent to be able to get full points.

Even though Juventus' weakness here is in their strikers, this can be seen from the number of goals scored which is only 23 goals, but they can play very well with their defense so they often win with narrow scores.

Both Juventus and Inter would battle hard for the league this season. The advantage is on Juventus because they don't have any European competition to play. They have more time to rest and train for their league matches. While inter have champions league matches to play and they hope to go all the way.
We never really know what could happen later on in the league but the way I see it, the battle is going to be a very close one. The advantage Juventus have won't mean much to Inter because they will most likely take one game at a time just as they're doing now.
Inter has a lethal striker in Lautaro Martinez and that is something Juventus lack l. They don't have that man they can rely on up front to always deliver, even if it's not by scoring goals but by disturbing the opposing defenders so they don't have any time to catch tgeir breath.
I'll like Inter to win the league this season. My bet is on them.

Inter Milan team is stronger than Juventus. Juventus' main weakness is their attack. Juventus team is not getting very good performance from forward players if we compare them with Inter Milan. Juventus team managed to score 23 goals in 15 matches. They won most of the matches due to their strong defense. But almost every match they won by narrow goal margin. On the other hand, Inter Milan play completely attacking strategy and their attack is very strong. Inter Milan players scored 37 goals in 15 matches. And that's why I'm putting Inter Milan ahead of Juventus for the Serie A title.

Yes and unless Inter Milan begins to have issues with their attack, I don't think Juventus can become dangerous for them in the fight for the Scudetto. Inter Milan is cool and efficient with the chances they have and what really impressed me was how they came back from being down 3 goals in the Champions League. This means they don't ever give up a game despite being down hopelessly. They can still strike back and either equalize the game or even win it with a bit more luck. And their defense is playing well, too. The balance they have within the team is unique in Serie A.

The main target of a club is definitely 3 points, no matter how little they score in a match the most important thing is that they can win and get 3 points. But to win, there must be goals that they can create and as much as possible they do not concede more than the number they can create against the opponent's goal.
I have a good example at the moment in Nice in LIgue 1, they have a very good defense, they just have the problem of not being able to create goals very well or in other words they are not productive. Even if they don't concede but at the same time they can't create goals, then it won't be a win for them.
Now Juventus have a number of goals that is not bad, but it cannot be said to be good either, they must be able to improve their ability to attack and create goals.

Whenever I looked at the points table I saw that both teams are at the same position in the points table. Sassuolo is at the 15th position. Cagliari is at the 16th position.

If Sassuolo team could have scored 1 more goal they could have drawn the match but they didn't.

Unfortunately, these two teams are in the bottom position, so for me, the match was not very interesting. Cagiliari caught up with a goal in the final minute because Sassuolo was fooled and felt they had already won, so the defense weakened and finally gave Cagiliari the opportunity to score a goal. Sassuolo should have still won if their defense didn't weaken, and they don't feel happy yet because the match is still going on and isn't over yet.

I'll like Inter to win the league this season. My bet is on them.

I believe that Inter has more quality in the team than Juventus which makes it not to be a problem playing in the Europe competition and also winning the SeriaA this season. They are doing great in both competitions and I don't think that they will let the first position that they are on the table slip away from their hands to Juventus. Id you look at how they are always winning with good numbers of goals that shows that they have quality players and a good strikers that are hungry to score goals. However, if Juventus needs to take over the lead on the table, they need to work hard and improve their game pattern and the players also need to improve themselves so that they can keep winning matches back to back for them to be able to take over the lead from Inter. Another problem is what if Inter did not lose any match.
