Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Minecache]

I'm sure that Napoli lost this game on purpose. They are not in the best position in the Serie A standings and they need to keep playing in the Champions League.

What you say doesn't make sense, it's impossible for a team to deliberately lose a match, let alone a big loss against a weak team in front of its own supporters, which is quite embarrassing.
Indeed, basically Napoli's performance is very bad and inconsistent at the moment so they suffered this embarrassing defeat.
There is no other way for Napoli other than to recover and start improving, but with their current new coach and the few matches they have played, it appears that the possibility of them being able to compete at the top of Serie A this season is very small.

fzkto, It is literally out of the question and absurd what you are saying. Italian people are crazy about football and no club in the world would willingly lose a match just to reduce the pressure. Napoli doesn't have much going for them in the Serie A this season and I think they would consider it a win if they get to play Champions League next season. They got paired up against Barcelona which I think would be a 50-50 between them. Even if they win they got some strong teams coming up. Thinking logically, the only tournament they can win is the Italian cup. So what you just said is impossible.

I'm sure that Napoli lost this game on purpose. They are not in the best position in the Serie A standings and they need to keep playing in the Champions League. The Italian Cup is not important for them and they will not waste strength on it. The main thing for them is to improve their position in Serie A and try their luck in the Champions League.

If Napoli is still trying to improve its position in the Serie A standings, of course Napoli must always consider winning and it would be very unreasonable if Napoli deliberately lost the Coppa Italia to a team lower than them. Apart from that, Napoli also cannot give an excuse if they deliberately lost just because they are still in the Champions League this season, because their fans will certainly be very disappointed if Napoli admits that they deliberately lost a certain match even though it was outside of the Champions League competition.

I meant Coppa Italia.

Napoli lost by 4-0, Incredible result

This is a devastating result for Napoli, no one could believe Napoli could be Eliminated by a team sitting at No.13 of the Italian league table and not just eliminating them but also winning them with 4 goals margin with no reply is very disappointing. Despite bringing on the team?s best players they still couldn?t make any changes in the game.

The resignation of the former coach is still having effect on the entire team and the new coach is still yet to blend the team together perfectly as last season and it?s why their performance have dropped far too much.

I hope that these totally humiliating results for the Italian champion team are a warning both for the president and for the other presidents who believe they are God on earth when in fact with stupid decisions they only do damage to themselves.
Nobody`s blaming the president, I see.

I think, Napoli's mistake is to change the coach with a very short time, of course, this factor also has a bad impact on the team's performance this season. After all, the fact is that with the previous Garcia also at least Napoli can still compete well at least in the top five. Although indeed, it does not guarantee to defend the title but at least, Napoli can still compete in the upper zone in the Serie A standings and I think that's still good.

Currently, Napoli must accept the results by firing Garcia and appointing Mazzarri to become Napoli's head coach. Unfortunately, with Mazzarri it looks like Napoli are getting even worse results and with that, then of course there is no good hope for Napoli this season, maybe also for all competitions, not just in Serie A.

I think a team will always want to win, even if they are competing in a competition that is not their main target. But the problem is that they lost to a weak team, even though when comparing strengths, they have better strengths than the team that beat them in this match.
I think they should realize that winning is important in every match, no matter if it's in a big competition or a competition that is not the favorite. They are not in a good situation right now, in Serie A alone they are struggling to maintain their form. And if I relate it to their overall performance this season, then I'd say they're in a downward spiral that they're losing.

this situation may impact several players who will leave the team. However, Napoli has players who last season were highly sought after by European clubs. and a performance like this might also cause dissatisfaction from the players on the team.
Mazzarri will need time to build this team to at least get better. they had high expectations for a new coach, and Garcia didn't deliver. and another mistake was when Garcia was substituted again after a short time. and it is possible that if Mazzarri does not make good progress at the end of the season, maybe they will get another new coach.
Don't they see how big teams grow strong and dominate in Europe? no coach is like a magician.

The president of Napoli always takes steps that are too firm, but this is very fatal and has big impact on the development of the team, it has been proven that what the president of Napoli has really done has made the team feel significant setback this season.
Aurelio De Laurentiis was not satisfied with Rudi Garcia performance so he decided to fire him.
Even though it can be seen that Rudi Garcia has had poor performance only this season and even though it is still at the start of the season, Aurelio De Laurentiis doesn't trust him anymore.
The replacement of Rudi Garcia with Mazzarri was decisive action that was too early and excessive because Mazzarri apparently was also unable to bring about change for Napoli.
If conditions like this continue then it is very likely that Napoli will not regain the title in the future.

The Napoli president must be able to think about who should replace Mazzarri in the next season to be able to change Napoli for the better.
A good coach will be very influential, rather than prioritizing players who cannot necessarily contribute and perform better, the coach is the brain of team success because the strategy and composition of players depends on the greatness of the coach.

[giammangiato]

Regardless of whether they prioritized this match or not, the result they achieved in this match was disappointing. They played at home and with a fairly strong opponent, but they had to lose with a score of 0-4.
It should be to improve their mentality, Napoli must take advantage of every match to win. Because in Serie A itself they have experienced a lot of decline, in the Champions League they can qualify for the last 16, but overall their game is not satisfying and it is helped by their opponents who are also not good, especially Union Berlin.

exactly, I totally agree with what you say, the point is not to lose but to lose in this way with such a humiliating result
it is no coincidence that Mazzarri apologized to the fans, I understand, he took on a team that was totally in pieces, it cant be easy

I don't think with head coach position have change with Napoli under performance in this season but they have loss some key player in defender Kim Min-jae made Napoli have conceded many goals in this season and not performed well with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen. This main problem why Napoli have dropped outside from top fourth standings position and still inconsistency performance, Napoli not quit well with transfer activities, when loss their key player not try to find with the same level and Napoli want to make efficiency with transfer fees without need to spent much money.

Rudi Garcia have leaves his position in short term will the same face by Walter Mazzari become the next sack manager after inconsistency his performance with Napoli?

The Napoli fans will be disappointed, but the team will not go far in the champion league this season; in fact, given their strong opponents, they may even finish in the run-16. We also need to consider how Napoli has performed thus far; under their previous coach, the team's performance was subpar from the beginning, and now that they have a new one, I believe Napoli is going to perform well. Based on their recent performance, which has been consistent since last week, it appears that they can perform better in the serie A league, but it will be difficult for them to advance farther than they did in the champion league last season.

Even though Napoli is losing in the Copa Italian round of 16, and their opponents are simply teams that are not predicted to win, I don't think it is appropriate to label Napoli as weak or as such because there are plenty of teams that are inferior to them. I believe that the best thing Napoli can do right now is to trade in some of their players and acquire new ones.

I meant Coppa Italia.

Napoli lost by 4-0, Incredible result

Napoli is knockout from the Coppa Italia tonight, a huge loss no Napoli fan would pick interest to talk about. Everyone have their view about the match. When we all thought the new manager, Walter Mazzarri is able to handle new positions, then we the worst happens. How cam the coach and the players explain this defeats to the fans? It's clearly poor defend wall formed and conceding 4 goals was never the expectation from anyone watching or streaming the match. Napoli was spurned 4 nil by Frosinone at the Diego Maradona stadium. How come Parthenopeans conceded 4 goals straight in the second half against the visitors? It's embarrassing scores to handle by an elite Seria A club.

It was a humbling and an embarrassing result. I didn't expect Napoli to lose that game with such a score line. They couldn't even score a single goal. The fans will be disappointed with the manager. After the change of manager the fans were really hoping that their results will improve but now who are they going to blame for the bad season results they have been registering.

Napoli's recent performance has frustrated and disappointed me. A promising team struggling is hard to watch. I think management's mid-season coach move was a gamble that failed. Starting without a preseason to create the team or adjust to his style was always going to be difficult for Mazzarri. It seems management should be accountable. It's apparent that their important alteration is influencing the team's play.

However, Napoli's problems appear to go beyond the coaching change. The sale of their top defender without a strong successor proved disastrous. It seems they misjudged the difficulty of defending a title, which is often harder than winning it. Napoli's defense is weak, and while hitting the post three times is unfortunate, it shouldn't be an excuse.

Napoli lost by 4-0, Incredible result

Well until now Frosinone are leading with 2 goals against Napoli ,just check the score twice

The goal has been removed minutes later with VAR.

napoli is joke only meet frosinone and play in home lost 0-4.
iam not believed Although Napoli did not field its main starting eleven players. but Giovanie Simione et al remain a better squad when compared to Frosinone.

[Jody.Drummer]

In week 17 it looks like Inter Milan will win again, because this week they will host Lecce who are in 12th position. Lecce is indeed very difficult to beat, but they have difficulty winning, they draw more often with 8 draws from the 16 matches they play, while they both feel 4 wins and losses.
I don't think Inter Milan will have significant difficulties although it could happen. But with what they have shown during this season, raises confidence in me that they will again be able to achieve maximum results, especially they will play at home.

The Italian Cup is not important for them and they will not waste strength on it. The main thing for them is to improve their position in Serie A and try their luck in the Champions League.

Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, it was still quite disturbing to lose so badly even in a match that didn't really matter against a club that was weaker than them in every way, which was quite disappointing and a disgrace for a big club.

Indeed, for their reasons in this case it is quite understandable because the current situation they are still not very good in Serie A and prefer to look for better opportunities, namely the Champions League and Serie A rather than the Italian Cup but if this is deliberately losing with an embarrassing score like this I think something is not too wrong in the body of Napoli even though we know most of the players are young players who are given more opportunities to show their skills on the field.

I'm sure a lot of people have lost faith in Napoli this season, the way they were eliminated in the Coppa Italia cannot be accepted by common sense. How could the goal margin reach 4-0, that is very embarrassing and raises a lot of questions. Choosing to be eliminated in the Italian Cup is not a good idea, because who knows, that is the most realistic trophy that can be achieved this season.

Mazzarri is not a good successor in replacing Garcia, in fact I think Garcia quality is still better than him. This is what most people worry about, that changing coaches does not guarantee that everything will be better, Mazzarri proved this to be true by making Napoli lose one competition.

In Serie A, I think Napoli only has a chance to finish in the UCL zone, while talking about defending the Scudetto is over. I mean it is no longer possible to catch up on points from Inter, especially if Napoli management releases Osimhen in the January transfer window, that will be a setback for Napoli.

I think Walter gamble it to see if other players can do better just so that they don't have to depend on main squad that usually start to the match for Napoli bit they failed and when substitutions happened, it wasn't effective as he expected. Throughout the game, it was only Napoli that substituted in that match and even when they did, Frosinone 2 goals when Osimhen was in. Such a Ln embarrassment to Napoli because they couldn't use their chances to goals while Frosinone was able to give into every chance with goal.

Honestly, I didn't blame Walter, Napoli has not been stable in Seria A league, a team that went from top 1 last season is struggling to enter top 4 and not only that, the points they have gather this season is to low, imagine 14 points away from the top of the first place in the league table says a lot, they have lost more than 5 games to be where they are today, they need to do more if they want to come to Champions League next season.

[boltz]

If Bologna managed to beat Roma last week , I'm sure they will find a way to at least score once against Inter and maybe with a bit of luck they can actually win the game. I also feel Inter not in a great mood lately and they were never a great team before winter break so this can be another factor that might make Bologna a joker team here + is the Italy Cup.

[QueenVera]

If Napoli chooses to focus more on Serie A than the Coppa Italia, perhaps because they want to catch or maintain their position in the league standings, maybe this could be the reason, but if they lose 0-4 at home, we all need to do it. questioned the quality of Napoli's second tier team
Yes, even with a busy schedule, especially when the team is involved in many competitions such as the Champions League and domestic league, managers often have to make strategic decisions to prioritize which competitions are considered more important.
and we all know that big teams often use reserve players or second-string players when playing in domestic cup competitions such as the Coppa Italia, especially when facing opponents who are considered weaker. However, for other teams, the difference between the first and second tier teams is not that striking, so crushing defeats can be avoided, especially from weak teams in the league.
So whatever the reason, losing 0-4 at home is very embarrassing for a team as big as Napoli

Yes we know most teams chose to focus more on the League Title, safe spot and UCL and that’s one situation that Napoli has found herself, In a bid to get a UCL Spot they used a second team for their coppa Italia but unluckily were trashed 0-4, that's a very big mistake they've made and they paid dearly for it by being kicked out of the Coppa Italia

 A big home lost for them and this is one that’s not needed at this point but I feel it should be a boost for them to get back in their feet quickly and safely, now they'll have to focus on two tournaments which is the UCL and the Serie A league, winning both tournaments would be a tough one for them, however finishing top four in the Serie A tournament is very necessary and that should be their aim currently, cause I doubt if  they'll be able to defend the Scudetto.

Inconsistency is one of the things that has been disturbing Napoli because sometimes they played very well on most of there matches but sometimes they play very poor so they are difficult to predict in times of wining because considering there last match against Frosinone nobody would have believed that the match will end the way it did because considering were Napoli is on the table it was certain that they were supposed to win Frosinone because Frosinone is on the 13 place of the table while Napoli was on the fifth place on the table but it was unfortunate that there performance was too poor that Frosinone had to win them, and however the wining has affected them on there position because if they had win the match they would automatically entered the Fourth position on the table.

Another game of Coppa Italia this evening.

It is Inter Bologna, not a easy game, Bologa is doing great lately.
