Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Mustang Shelby]

But about Napoli, if Napoli manage to stay in the top four of course, that result is good enough because yes, just to stay in the top four is a difficult job for Napoli this season. Therefore, if Napoli are able to finish in the top four this season for me it is already a good result, because of course it is difficult for Napoli to defend the title.

It seems that it is difficult for Napoli to defend their title so it is possible that this season they will fail to win the title again and let Juventus and Inter Milan fight for the title this season, Napoli must be able to correct all the mistakes that have been made in several matches with bad results and it's not satisfying for their fans, changing several coaches still doesn't make any better changes, I think Napoli should be able to focus on maintaining their position in the top four, it seems that is their last hope apart from winning the league this season

Realistically, their chances of winning the league this year are quite low. This year, they will fight to finish the league in the top four places without winning the Scudetto again. I interpret this performance in Napoli this year as quite disappointing. At the end of the year, they will probably part ways with most of their players and return to the Napoli image of trying to finish at the top of the league.

I will never understand why some people think that sports professionals get disturbed when they play in the biggest competitions possible. There is a strong team playing in the Champions League for good reasons and instead of saying that this will motivate them to dominate across all competitions, people think that they would be distracted. Is there some logic behind that which I don't understand? A team that is good enough to win everything becomes weaker because they compete for everything...

Yeah, it's a little bit strange. Even though being in the UCL is the dream of all football clubs, of course. So when they were struggling in the UCL, it was a very valuable moment, a moment when they could show off their abilities and prove that they really deserved it. And of course this also spurs their enthusiasm to be even more on fire in every match, whether in the UCL or their own league. So, it doesn't quite make sense if someone says something like that.

This really deserves 2 merits although I don't give out merits very often. But I have a lot of them left. Since finally someone agrees with me I thought it is time to hand some out. Everyone is entitled to their own points of view and I would even merit a post if I tend to disagree, but it is well explained. But this talk about teams to lose focus when they play the best matches possible in professional football, I don't get it. ItÄs like saying that Klitschko will lose every fight because he was too focused to get to the top that now he isn't as focused anymore and instead distracted. lol -> I know he is retired, no worries!

I am fully convinced that players who play in all tournaments, who feel they can beat everyone, who play the most games because they are in all competitions, will get the best out of themselves. Even more than players that play less games with more recovery. Do you remember when Napoli began to lose games last season? It was when they lost this unbelievable fight with Milan in the Champions League. Then they lost focus in the league because it extinguished some of their inner fire. So people around here, it is the other way around! The harder a football player's life, the stronger they compete! The harder the upcoming box fight, the harder the training and the higher the focus.

For Lazio it was a clean win, but Empoli had more attacks than Lazio and more ball possession. I know that Lazio has never really put emphasis on having the ball a lot within their team, but it is still an indicator that Lazio is missing a lot of the good things they were usually known for. The efficiency was good in this game and the defense seems to have been good as well, but it might also have been the weakness of Empoli to not make use of any of their attempts. But Lazio is still far away from the upper part of the table.

AC Milan has to win this game or otherwise Fiorentina and Bologna will soon say hello to them. By the way, did anyone notice the positive trend for Bologna? I was surprised when I saw them so far up in the table and I only checked for them because they beat Inter Milan recently.

One quick goal from Matteo Guendouzi slightly changed the way Lazio played I mean, they just need to maintain their lead and try to play more defensively that's why Lazio wasn't too aggressive in this match. On the other hand, Empoli as the home team certainly wants to try to catch up so they played all out and kept pressing but unfortunately Lazio knows how to anticipate it. This is a good win for Lazio they want to get out of a bad session and compete in the European League and Conference zones, it just takes a few more points to get there. Now the elite teams in Serie A are in the top 10 they had reached the first safe zone then hunt for their respective places in European competitions but some of them will fail Serie A only provides limited places.

Regarding Salernitana vs AC Milan yeah it's a bit disappointing for Milan fans because AC Milan is considered to have wasted an opportunity against a weak team like Salernitana and Milan should be able to win easily because they are at a better level but this kind of thing is normal in Serie A especially Milan is not one of the candidates for the title so they will play without ambition except to stay in the champions league zone. On the other hand, Salernitana was a little relieved because they got 1 point and they could still continue their struggle to get out of relegation.

This season under former manager Rudi Garcia, Napoli started the season on a very poor note and that's made it very difficult for them to be considered as one of the strongest contenders for the Italian scudetto. In their recent games, Napoli has improved their performances as they've been getting good results hence the sudden media hype of their ability of still winning the league at the end of the season. I don't think it'll be possible for the team to win the league title this season rather I believe they can manage finish the season in the top four in other to be able to play in the UEFA Champions League competition next season.

After two matches without a win, then in this match Lazio managed to beat Empoli even with a clean sheet . But ya, even though Laizo managed to win, it looks like Lazio only relied on counter attacks. Because after all, according to the statistics in this match, in reality Empoli still has quite good statistics but unfortunately, Empoli did not manage to score a goal.

So yes, Empoli's defeat this time will of course keep Empoli in the relegation zone, but even so, Empoli still has a points gap that is not too far from the teams above them. Also, even though Lazio looks like they won easily in this match, but I personally not too impressed because ya, basically Lazio this season is not as good as last season because last season Lazio managed to finish in second place.

Empoli was playing slightly better than Lazio because they were taking innitiative to playing attacking since the beginning of match but indeed i have to says Lazio goalkeeper Provedel was performing well because he was made several crucial save which make Lazio defensive lines is not conceding goals until end of this match and actually before this match i was slightly doubt Lazio can able to beat Empoli because previously Lazio away matches records was quite poor but seems this time Lazio can able to bounce back and collect 3 points from this match

For other match Milan was gets disappointing result today because they only can get draw result from weak team Salernitana and actually Milan was very dominate the game and during the match they got several opportunities to scores but i have to says Salernitana players were playing with very discipline even Salaernitana almost win this match before Luka Jović can appears as super subs and equalized the scored at the end of second half so Milan have to satisfied to get 1 point from this match

I interpret this performance in Napoli this year as quite disappointing. At the end of the year, they will probably part ways with most of their players and return to the Napoli image of trying to finish at the top of the league.

As the defending champion team this season, of course Napoli performance is not as good as last season, they are not consistent in every match and they have had many problems this season. Never mind saying they are champions this season, it is even difficult for Napoli to maintain their position in the top 4 before the first half of this season ends. Napoli have suffered 5 defeats this season which is the worst point for their status as defending champions and it is not impossible that their progress will stagnate this season. just like you, I think they are only targeting the top 4 places until the end of the competition and maybe that will be easy for them to do.

In tomorrow match, Roma will face Napoli and both teams want to improve their ranking in the standings table. Roma have never won in their 5 meetings with Napoli and what will be interesting to watch in this match whether Napoli will be able to maintain their winning trend when facing Roma. If Napoli manages to emerge victorious, it's possible they will return to the top 4 this week and that could happen if Bologna loses tomorrow's match.

[Balmain]

Milan lost two points to Salernitana, the last team in the rankings. With this loss, AC Milan should completely forget about the leadership, there is no leadership anymore, they can only try to maintain their current position. Inter is the team with the most points and playing the best in Seria. I don't think it would be otherwise. Salernitana had many shots on target, they really pushed the Milan goal, they deserved more than a point. The host Salernitana almost beat Milan until the 90th minute.

This season will also not be easy for Napoli in terms of getting a top four place even though Napoli will try hard to get that this season. Because everyone can see for themselves how the points competition is happening now where Napoli is very close to several other teams such as Bologna, Atalanta and Fiorentina, all three of which are not bad enough teams this season so their competition will continue and continue until the end of the season later and this will certainly make it difficult for Napoli to get fourth place in Serie A this season.

[Queentoshi]

Milan lost two points to Salernitana, the last team in the rankings. With this loss, AC Milan should completely forget about the leadership,

Why are teams at the bottom of the table difficult to play by big teams. Do they look down on them and expect an easy win? or these teams try to proof themselves against big teams. A draw is not a good result for AC Milan whose hopes would have been to catch up and maintain their distance from the first position. They almost lost the game if not for the lucky goal in the 90th minute. With this unexpected drop in points to a team at the bottom of the table AC Milan find themselves drifting away from the first position. This is a victory for Salernitana.

[mv1986]

I think in the Champions League Napoli has all the chances to make it to the next round. The only reason I am saying this is because Barcelona has the same issues and are so much worse than they normally play. They did play against each other in the Europa League in 2022 and those two games ended 4-2 and 1-1 for Barcelona. But this time I think Barcelona is even worse. If Napoli plays a good first leg at home, everything is possible.

Napoli were strong in the last season but they no longer maintain it in this season. They have enough good players to compete fairly and equally with Barcelona but chances for Napoli is not too big. It is just like 50/50 chance for them to beat Barcelona at the end in an aggregated result.

If attacking players of Napoli like Kravatskhelia, Osimhen have excellent matches or just some magnificent moments, they can win over Barcelona. Generally they don't usually have such good performances in this season so suddenly have such in two important matches will be big surprise from Napoli.

You said their chances are not too big but estimate their chances could be 50/50. Doesn't sound like a bad deal to me as being at 50/50 against Barcelona is ok.

That's the crux of the matter, the players still possess enough quality to compete in the league, but now everyone believes it is all about Spalletti who left the club. But the players also have responsibility. It can't be just the coach and that's it. Because they played worse when Spalletti was still there last season and that is often forgotten.

Ac Milan were able to pick a point from Salernitana in this game, that was ridiculous. This team have one victory, 10 losses and 5 draws before this match. They scored a total of 9 goals including the two that they were able to score in today's game.
Overall, Ac Milan were disappointing and they risk to see the gap between them and Inter passing 10 points and 7 points with Juventus. Losing the scudetto isn't their only problem since the other teams behind them are getting closer and they could pick at some point the four Champions League spots.

[TelolettOm]

Napoli no longer has any hope of winning the Serie A title this season and Napoli will also have great difficulty if they try to compete for the title by competing with Inter Milan and Juventus.
Indeed, Napoli only hope this season is to reach the top 4 positions and get UCL ticket, that will be much better in terms of achievements next season.
But there is also no guarantee that Napoli can survive further in the UCL if they have the opportunity to play next season.

Exactly. Napoli already wasted the chance to compete for the title of Serie A this season. The point gap is too large, it is almost impossible to catch the Inter Milan and Juventus. But it is true that Napoli still has a chance to play in UCL or Europa League for the next season. Although Napoli is in the 6th place, but I believe they can beat Fiorentina and Bologna.

Inter Milan and Juventus are rivals that other teams in Setie A really cannot compete with and these two team are indeed the strongest candidates in the race for the title.
But Juventus will be far superior because they can really focus on fighting for the Serie A title, in contrast to Inter Milan who also have to focus on the UCL.
This is good opportunity for Juventus to take advantage of the situation and condition of Inter Milan players who may have slightly unresolved performance.

Yes, for this season, the rivals for the title competition is Inter Milan and Juventus. No doubt that they are very dominant in Serie A, they are the most teams that can play consistently. AC Milan looks not in a good condition to compete for the title. So, I'm not sure with AC Milan, their squad is also not as strong as the previous season.

[Slow death]

When I see Roma situation in the table



I see that Mourinho will hardly renew his contract with Roma, I honestly don't see Roma evolving even though they have good players, they are worse than Fiorentina, they are worse than Bologna, they are worse than Atalanta. It's difficult to understand why Roma has had such low results despite having a good squad. Roma's attack has been very inefficient in many games and Roma's defense is a complete disaster. If there are no major changes, then Rome will be doomed to failure. I don't know what Mourinho has thought to change this current scenario, but Roma is not doing well. despite having some important players injured, they should be able to at least get into the top 4

I say this, because this season Milan is a disaster, Napoli too, so at least Roma could be in the top 4 fighting for a better position. but roma is very far from the level of inter, juventus, napoli, milan, fiorentina, bologna. which is very sad, I don't know if it's not Mourinho's fault for not getting good results. But it seems to me that if things don't change, then eventually the Roma management will have no choice in letting go of Mourinho. Because I don't see what reasons Roma management would have to keep Mourinho for more seasons


salernitana 2 - 2 milan

 

milan this season has been a dexterous player, in this game for example they were very close to losing the game, it would have been a very important victory if salernitana had managed to win that game, last season salernitana managed to escape the relegation zone, but for As I see it this season, they won't be able to escape relegation, the level of many teams, which last season wasn't great and this season is great, is too high and Salernitana doesn't have the conditions to compete against many teams. Milan will also need to make signings if they want to win Serie A

[shogun47]

One quick goal from Matteo Guendouzi slightly changed the way Lazio played I mean, they just need to maintain their lead and try to play more defensively that's why Lazio wasn't too aggressive in this match. On the other hand, Empoli as the home team certainly wants to try to catch up so they played all out and kept pressing but unfortunately Lazio knows how to anticipate it. This is a good win for Lazio they want to get out of a bad session and compete in the European League and Conference zones, it just takes a few more points to get there. Now the elite teams in Serie A are in the top 10 they had reached the first safe zone then hunt for their respective places in European competitions but some of them will fail Serie A only provides limited places.

Regarding Salernitana vs AC Milan yeah it's a bit disappointing for Milan fans because AC Milan is considered to have wasted an opportunity against a weak team like Salernitana and Milan should be able to win easily because they are at a better level but this kind of thing is normal in Serie A especially Milan is not one of the candidates for the title so they will play without ambition except to stay in the champions league zone. On the other hand, Salernitana was a little relieved because they got 1 point and they could still continue their struggle to get out of relegation.

The elite teams are in the top 10, that's true but I didn't really see anyone of them being severely in danger. Lazio had huge struggles this season, but I wouldn't be afraid if they could end up fighting against relegation. But they are not in good shape and will have a hard time to climb up the ranks.

AC Milan isn't having their best days. This is again points wasted as the can't make use of their dominance and turn it into three points after they started so well into the season. The efficiency is gone.

[Richbased]

On this Saturday there is a really attracting game between Roma and Napoli. The game is in Rome so it can be seen as an advantage for Roma. However I wouldn't trust Roma much for this game honestly. Because I don't like their recent performances in the league. Probably Mourinho will choose a cautious game plan against Napoli.

This is the classic Mourinho in big games in the end.    Napoli are even better at scoring now as Osimhen is back. He will be their key player against Roma surely. I think both teams will score and Napoli will manage to win the game by a gap of one goal.

Jose Mourinho is a manager that likes competition so the match between Roma and Napoli will be very interesting. Currently, Napoli is ahead of Roma in the league table as they occupy the 6th position with 27 points while Roma stand in 8th position in the league table with 25 points so considering the fact that Roma is playing at their home ground will give them more advantage to win Napoli and Napoli will also want to impress their fans after they lost their Coppa Italia match against Frosinone during the mid-week so definitely, this game between this both clubs is really difficult to predict.

It seems that it is difficult for Napoli to defend their title so it is possible that this season they will fail to win the title again and let Juventus and Inter Milan fight for the title this season, Napoli must be able to correct all the mistakes that have been made in several matches with bad results and it's not satisfying for their fans, changing several coaches still doesn't make any better changes, I think Napoli should be able to focus on maintaining their position in the top four, it seems that is their last hope apart from winning the league this season

Since Luciano Spalletti decided to leave Napoli, I no longer believe in how good Napoli's competition in Serie A will be in defending its title. Napoli are having difficulty maintaining their good performance like last season and they feel forced to change coaches twice this season by firing Rudi Garcia and appointing Walter Mazzarri as head coach.

Currently, Napoli is struggling in 5th position with the same points as Fiorentina. Napoli is having difficulty breaking into the Champions League zone because the stability of their performance is the most obvious problem at the moment, of course because they tend to lose more points. Until week 16, Napoli had suffered 5 defeats and 3 draws in 16 matches. So in my opinion, Napoli will not defend their title and will probably just struggle to qualify for the Champions League next season.

It could be said that Spalleti is a more suitable coach for Napoli but unfortunately Spalleti couldn't stay at Napoli for a long time. Maybe if Spalleti was still at the Napoli club it seems like Napoli is still in stable performance even though it won't be easy to defend the title but at least Napoli might not experience a decline like this season and may not experience so many difficulties because Spalleti can create a strategy that suits the Napoli players. However, unfortunately Spalleti left and the coach who replaced him has not been able to provide significant improvements.

Yes, currently Napoli is struggling to occupy the top 4 position so that next season Napoli can compete again in the Champions League but it seems that Napoli is having difficulty reaching the top 4 with its unstable performance while Fiorentina and Bologna are also try hard to enter the same ranking, we'll see just whether Napoli can occupy the top 4 position with his current condition, maybe if Napoli is able to improve the team's performance and appear more impressive, Napoli still has a chance to occupy the top 4 position this season.

[Mayor of ogba]

The 2 matches are worth waiting for, any team that will win can take places in Top 4 and 5 because the 4 team points are close. I predict each team will score each other and I will consider betting the both teams scoring goals, besides that total goals also attracted my attention over 2.5 goals on parlay bets are not bad. Oh yes Juventus are also predicted to win because in the last match Juventus only played a draw while Juventus needed points to stay close to Inter Milan these 3 matches will be included in my schedule to watch and bets.

For Atalanta it will be quite difficult to occupy the top four positions even though Atalanta can win the match against Bologna. Because Atalanta is still hampered by Fiorentina and Napoli if one of them can also win this week's match, but for Bologna itself it is quite possible to stay in the top four again if they are able to win at home against Atalanta. Because when the competition is getting fiercer like it is now, even one point will still be very meaningful for each team because it will always determine where they are.

The Italian championship is very excessively competitive, the sport is felt at a national level so everyone talks about it and everyone watches it, providing money to the teams and television stations.
In this context all the teams clash and fight to the last man to win. It's not easy to keep up, I don't think my Atalanta is capable of finishing 4-5

I agree with you that Italy's Serie A League is competitive now, unlike before when Juventus used to win the Italy Serie A title three times in a row, with no club challenging them for the Serie A title. For the past years, the Serie A title has been won by different clubs in the Serie A League. There is a possibility that Atalanta will not finish from 4-5 in the Serie A because so many clubs are competing to finish in that position.

salernitana 2 - 2 milan

 

milan this season has been a dexterous player, in this game for example they were very close to losing the game, it would have been a very important victory if salernitana had managed to win that game, last season salernitana managed to escape the relegation zone, but for As I see it this season, they won't be able to escape relegation, the level of many teams, which last season wasn't great and this season is great, is too high and Salernitana doesn't have the conditions to compete against many teams. Milan will also need to make signings if they want to win Serie A

yesterday I said about my concerns about this match that even though Selernitana is only a small team that is in the lower relegation zone, it always manages to make it difficult for the top teams to beat it and Milan, one of the top teams, failed to beat Selernitana even though logically it should have been able to win the match and get 3 additional points to be able to win the series A title but the fact is that Milan defense is very weak and can even be broken down by a team from the relegation zone.
I completely agree with you that Milan must get new players to improve weak lines such as defenders who I think are a little bad and this must be done if they really want to catch points from Juventus and Inter.

I'm sure many bettors failed in this match because they definitely thought Milan would win and placed bets on the handicap and it turned out that Selernitana was surprisingly able to hold a draw with a score of 2-2 and this result was impressive for Selernitana but for Milan it was very embarrassing.
and the strange thing is that Selernitana can always be an obstacle for popular teams to beat it, but why can't they get out of the relegation zone? Or maybe the draw or win that Selernitana got was just luck?

[borovichok]

I agree with you that Italy's Serie A League is competitive now, unlike before when Juventus used to win the Italy Serie A title three times in a row, with no club challenging them for the Serie A title. For the past years, the Serie A title has been won by different clubs in the Serie A League. There is a possibility that Atalanta will not finish from 4-5 in the Serie A because so many clubs are competing to finish in that position.

I can relaxed and watch Italian football because there's presence of top competition and a regular club that's coming up don't have any slim chances of earning a significant spot on the table. It's surprising to see how everything changed over the past years and we will witnessed more solid results in the coming years. This is a new era and most competitive clubs have the strength to pull tough competitive run for the scudetto this season. The favorites to win are Inter Milan and Juventus because they're both ranked first and second with stellar performance accompanied.

[asriloni]

Milan lost two points to Salernitana, the last team in the rankings. With this loss, AC Milan should completely forget about the leadership, there is no leadership anymore, they can only try to maintain their current position. Inter is the team with the most points and playing the best in Seria. I don't think it would be otherwise. Salernitana had many shots on target, they really pushed the Milan goal, they deserved more than a point. The host Salernitana almost beat Milan until the 90th minute.

It's terrible to watch!. Acmilan is once again missing another opportunity and it may have the gaps toward intermilan and juventus to be even bigger than before. Milan played like a mediocre team especially for its defenders. This sucks to see that how milan is playing like it has no defensive line.
Salernitana was able threatening milan's goal keeper many times and this is horrific to see milan is declining a lot on its performance again salernitana as the worst club in the serie a. Im also concerning about how milan can also equalize the goal on additional time too.
Pioli needs to replace a lot of its defenders as they were not able in keeping their defensive line properly. No chance for milan to enter for the title race if it will still continue to play shitty ball. It's a very embarassing result to get draw against a club that is now at the bottom place of serie a.
Salernitana will obviously relegated soon and milan can't beat this. It's crazy how milan is also showing how stupid the club is. It's a common thing to get draw in the football but it's not against the worst club in the serie a.
