Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Jody.Drummer]

Inter Milan get an easier opponent than their closest competitors in the standings, because Inter Milan will face Genoa. Although their status in this match is a guest team, but that doesn't have a big effect because the difference between the two is also very significant in terms of strength, so in my opinion Inter Milan will be able to win this match easily.
Genoa itself is now in 13th place in the standings and has felt 8 defeats from 17 matches they have played. That is a record that is not comparable to what Inter Milan achieved. There is no reason for Inter Milan to lose this match, they have everything and they must be able to utilize it very well.

The Fiorentina vs Torino match was no less exciting because both teams stole points from each other if we look at the previous H2H and maybe this could be a quite surprising match in terms of the results. Maybe Fiorentina are favored to win because they are the hosts but they cannot take Torino lightly in this home match and I am quite sure Torino will provide fierce resistance.

The likely result is that the two teams will play a draw and this is definitely the most undesirable thing in betting. If Fiorentina wins of course they will replace Bologna in the top 4 and if Torino wins then they will eliminate Atalanta from position 8. Both teams need 3 additional points and it seems like betting over 2.5 goals is the most reasonable so far.

Very optimistic for Fiorentina to win the match, because they are playing at their home base. Talking about H2H, it seems that Fiorentina is superior to Torino because Torino is having player problems and declining performance. I bet on Fiorentina in this match to win or not, it looks like my bet is very convincing.  .

I agree, Fiorentina is doing fine right now at fifth position and looks like they are having a wonderful season, I did not expected them to be that high and that's a good thing. However, Torino is not doing too terrible, not like the yare at relegation zone or something, they are doing fine as well.

I think we should consider the option to be a lot better and I think the teams are not too far away from each other. Obviously Fiorentina is better, and I do think that they will win, but we need to make sure that things are going great and not having any trouble all the time. I mean if you really want to bet, then Fiorentina is the way to go, but maybe 1.5+ over seems like not a bad deal neither, I think that could potentially happen as well.

Speaking of the games that Napoli and Roma played before I think there were some problems and indeed Napoli lost can also be said because there were some problems about some players including the red cards they got in these 2 matches.
But besides that, for now when Roma and Juventus I don't think this can only be decided because of 1 previous match.

Both still have almost the same momentum and they also still have problems that are not much different when talking about performance. Currently Roma still has problems with the stability of the attack line even though Lukaku is still playing well but only he can improve the rest for Roma strikers I don't see many advantages.

In addition, for Juventus also this is not too different. because in the end we can see from what is happening now even though 3 points can always be obtained by Juventus but in the end we also know that Juventus' attack line problem is still very complex so it cannot be in this match to predict with confidence who will win before seeing their performance on the field.

Between Roma and Juventus, one would have to be submissive to the other or better still they end it fairly and share a point to themselves. Both teams have what they're fighting for, they've got interests to protect too. They don't want to be seen taking chances. It's going to be a tough game. Their managers and the players are good, they've got very much impressing strategy which they have to fight over to win the game.

 The quality of players in the team are very much effective for the task ahead. Hopefully for Roma, Lukaku would do exceedingly well. He's been having a good time so far with the team and I believe against Juventus, there won't be an exception. Juventus won't on their part overlook the game, they want to keep the UCL ticket and so they know they've got to work with the advantage as the host to win. If I'm to predict the game outcome, then Juventus will have the higher possibility to win or to create a fair balance, they'd stay on a draw. Again Serie A would get to put their focus this weekend on a tough encounter.

There is no reason for Inter Milan to lose this match, they have everything and they must be able to utilize it very well.

Obviously, because apart from that, the fact is that Inter are still unbeaten in away matches so far this season in Serie A. So yes, it would be very inappropriate for Inter to give up here because after all, Genoa is not a team that can provide a big obstacle for the top Serie A team. Therefore, I personally do not hesitate to keep betting on Inter victory in this match, because of course Inter will maximize the match to keep getting three points to strengthen its position also at the top of the Serie A standings.

Because, in reality, Juventus also have to play against AS Roma this weekend. Even though it is possible that Juventus will still be the favorite because they are playing at home, at least playing against AS Roma is certainly not easy for Juventus. Moreover, basically Juventus performance is still not completely stable so there is no strong guarantee for Juventus to win against AS Roma later.

Yes, this week is a golden opportunity for Inter Milan to continue to stay away from its main competitor, namely Juventus. I see that their point difference is 4 points, because Juventus this week will face As Roma, which in fact is quite a tough opponent, yes, of course the coach sees this, and has It's definitely best to take full advantage of every moment where the Inter Milan team can play against quite easily. It must be taken advantage of by winning and the opposing team getting quite difficult opponents. Indeed, I see that Inter Milan's performance level is increasing sharply in the local league.

I don't think Inter Milan will have any problem winning against Genoa. Because Genoa is not a strong opponent. At the moment, the team's position is 13th in the table. They managed to get only 19 points from 17 matches. Although the match is Genoa's home match, I don't think Genoa will be able to put up any resistance against the Inter Milan players.

Inter Milan drew last match against Genoa. However, in each of the previous matches, Inter Milan dominated and won. Interestingly, Genoa have not scored a single goal in their last 5 matches against Inter Milan. So it is easy to guess how weak the Genoa team is against Inter Milan. I expect Inter Milan to win in the next match as well. Inter Milan will probably win with a margin of 2-0 or 3-0.

Genoa is not a difficult opponent for Inter because the players are very different, while Genoa is still in the worst trend of the last five matches. Genoa was only able to get 1 win, while Inter has a lot of wins that have been secured and from simple analysis it can be seen that Inter chances of winning are much greater. because Inter also dont want to be pushed back by Juventus and beating Genoa will benefit Inter from getting additional points.

I think Inter Milan will win this match comfortably. Inter Milan are looking comfortable right now at the top of the Serie A table,  4 points ahead of the 2nd position team. Laurato Martinez is the top scorer right now. Thanks to his contribution, Inter Milan already got 1 hand on the Serie A trophy.
Yes, I can't disagree Genoa is actually doing quite good compared to their last season when they were in Serie A. Because this season they were promoted to Serie A and are actually at the middle of the table. So they are doing well. But I don't think this is enough to beat the likes of Inter Milan.

All is freezed, Lautaro still remain to 15 goals and Berardi to 9.

This goal scorer list actually tells us why Inter Milan are at the top of the league. Osimhen who was supposed to be doing better is not. You know stats is not everything in football, but it can tell something about it. On the other hand, Lukaku, Giroud are contributing to the team as well and these things puts their team in front.

[Mame89]

Sincerely, I think Mourinho is doing well with AS Roma. His achievements, especially considering the limited funds, are truly impressive. Others forget that he won the European Conference League title, which is an impressive feat in any case. Roma's team isn't as good as big teams like Juventus or Inter Milan, so winning Serie A might be too much to ask. Impressive is Mourinho's ability to get them to fight for the league's top spots, maybe even in the top 5. Personally, I think it's too much for him to do with the tools he has available. For Roma, keeping Mourinho seems like the best option because of his track record and technical know-how.

Yes that's right. For me, Jose Mourinho at As Roma has given his best and was even able to give As Roma the European Conference title. Because Roma is still inconsistent like this, if I see it, it's not because of Jose Mourinho, but because the club is not giving him fresh funds. Maybe if the club gave full support to Mourinho, As Roma would be different from now.

I even think that AS Roma does not deserve a coach like Mourinho. Because they are taking advantage of Mourinho's big name to get free or cheap players. Club management who want trophies don't want to spend money, they are too stingy. So it is not surprising that As Roma has difficulty competing with big teams such as Juventus, Inter and Milan.

It must be taken advantage of by winning and the opposing team getting quite difficult opponents. Indeed, I see that Inter Milan's performance level is increasing sharply in the local league.

That's right, the best opportunity for Inter Milan to create a bigger point difference than Juventus. I don't think Genoa is a tough opponent even though they act as hosts, so I predict that Inter will have a big chance to steal 3 points from the match in Week 18. Head to head, Inter has not been defeated in the last 5 matches against Genoa, therefore, supported by other factors such as good squad depth, I am sure Inter will secure full points and extend their good record.

If Roma succeeds in forcing Juventus to share the points, then the perfect scenario that Inter wants, will create a difference of 7 points in the standings. So it will be very difficult for Juventus to beat them in the future, and the competition for the Scudetto this season will only leave Inter alone in the race. On the other hand, there is no guarantee that Inter can continue to be consistent in the remaining matches ahead, but we have seen Juventus, Milan, Roma, Napoli, who have the status of big teams in Serie A, fail to stop Inter from collecting points.

[Velvet78]

Dropping down to the seventh position is really bad for Napoli. The last game was a disaster as well. Getting two red cards and a 2-0 loss against Roma... This was their third loss in their last five league games. They need to stand up and fight harder immediately. Otherwise not much time later Mazzarri would also start to be criticized heavily.

Napoli board don't seem very patient as they sacked Rudi Garcia very quickly. Mazzarri must also be aware of this fact and he should find a way to improve this bad form. While there are many teams being competitive for top 4 Napoli are just making things harder for themselves.

[ginsan]

In reality Mourinho has still failed so far for AS Roma because after all, Mourinho's appointment aims for AS Roma to be able to compete strongly at least in the top four of the Serie A standings. But yes, the reality is that from Mourinho's first season at AS Roma util now, the result is a failure because yes, at least Mourinho still failed to make AS Roma to be able to finish in the top four positions.

So, if you consider about winning the Scudetto then yes, it seems like it is just a hope that certainly remains difficult to achieve. Also about the match against Napoli, basically in that match Napoli only play with 10 player and then AS Roma got the first goal. Then, for AS Roma's second goal against Napoli yesterday too, the fact that Napoli players got another red card and Napoli had 2 red cards in the match and yes, after two Napoli players got red cards, then after that AS Roma could make a goal.

So yes, basically there is nothing impressive with AS Roma's performance even though AS Roma has Lukaku so yes, still, the reality is that AS Roma is still quite bad from the results they have gotten so far with Mourinho.

Mourinho has not succeeded in bringing Roma to compete in the Champions League and that is one of the missions he failed to carry out in training Roma. But Mourinho still has the opportunity to do it this season if he succeeds in bringing Roma to finish in the top 4. But previously he succeeded in bringing Roma to win the European Conference League Cup trophy and this season Roma is also taking part in European League.
Roma can compete stronger in the European league this season so they can get back into the final like they did in the previous season.

I don't think it's purely Mourinho failure to bring Roma to many trophies, but because Roma is not financially supported by the means to buy quality players, which makes them unable to compete with other teams in Serie A. This season, Roma has Lukaku, who they recruited in the season transfer window last summer but Roma performance was also not too aggressive in the serie A. Well, maybe Roma will recruit some good quality players again in the winter transfer window to help them reach the top 4.

[SOKO-DEKE]

Obviously, because apart from that, the fact is that Inter are still unbeaten in away matches so far this season in Serie A. So yes, it would be very inappropriate for Inter to give up here because after all, Genoa is not a team that can provide a big obstacle for the top Serie A team. Therefore, I personally do not hesitate to keep betting on Inter victory in this match, because of course Inter will maximize the match to keep getting three points to strengthen its position also at the top of the Serie A standings.

Genoa was only able to get 1 win, while Inter has a lot of wins that have been secured and from simple analysis it can be seen that Inter chances of winning are much greater. because Inter also dont want to be pushed back by Juventus and beating Genoa will benefit Inter from getting additional points.

In the next game against Genoa and Inter Milan, honestly, I am not expecting any great performances from Genoa toward Inter Milan because Inter Milan is far better than them. Genoa may try to appear strong because it is their home game, but still, I am not expecting their performance to be stronger than Inter Milan's current form. I believe that Inter Milan will try their best to get the three points from Genoa, no matter how stubborn they may try to appear. From the beginning of the season, I believe Inter Milan has aimed to win the serie A league this season, and with that, I don't think they will try to mess up with any game at this time of the season because they their close opponent juventus that is also in the race of the serie A tittle.

Take a good look at the managers employed to manage Napoli and take another look at the hilarious results  they have done since they begined. 
Roma won and it sent Napoli  down the line parking. Napoli are no longer defending champions, if you count the points gap you will see that they have nothing  to offer nothing. The last five fixtures for them have been bad they need some levels of change and upgrades.

Rudi Garcia and Walter are not doing the job they're are brought in for the right way. They should have sent him off one more time.
Juventus have been a good aide also great they will not likely win but also try to finish at the top.

Well, maybe Roma will recruit some good quality players again in the winter transfer window to help them reach the top 4.

As a manager that's got a very rich experience in the UEFA champions league having won the competition in two different editions, one of the prime expectations of AS Roma management when they signed Jose Mourinho to the club was that the Portuguese manager would help return the club to Europe's biggest club competition but unfortunately for the club and the manager, they've failed to qualify for the UEFA champions league. They would've qualified to play in the the competition this season if they had defeated Seville in the in the final of the UEFA Europa League last season but unfortunately failed as they were beaten by the Spanish club in the final.

I think he still has a chance of achieving the aim of playing in the UEFA champions league next season with the club by making sure they finish in the top four of the league table at the end of the season.

[liuka]

All is freezed, Lautaro still remain to 15 goals and Berardi to 9.

Lautaro Martinez is one of the strikers who has the potential to win the individual award as the top scorer this season because in recent seasons the quality of his performance has continued to improve drastically, making him one of the leaders as the top scorer this season. In the previous season, Osimhen was the top scorer by recording 26 goals, but this season he is unlikely to be able to catch up with Martinez as the top scorer.

Inter Milan has two attackers who are quite productive this season, even Thuram, who they brought in in the last summer transfer window, has also managed to adapt well with Martinez on Inter Milan's front line. I think Inter Milan will succeed in winning the Scudetto this season because they are really strong this season and also have a front line that is quite dangerous for the opposing team.

Mourinho is not only known as a coach full of experience but he can bring change to the team he coaches. I'm sure he will be able to bring Roma back to participate in the Champions League next season. Last season was very disappointing after Roma lost the final match against Sevilla and indeed in that match the referee was quite on the side of Sevilla which made Mourinho very upset with the final result of the match.

This season there are still many matches left so Mourinho still has many opportunities to bring Roma to victory in every match. Many Roma players this season have suffered injuries which have hindered their performance so far, I even see that Dybala has suffered another injury which will have a bad impact on them.

Napoli is not in good condition. What happened to Napoli in the match against Roma seemed to be an outburst of emotions that were being suppressed by the players on the field because it looked like their game was not conducive and they could not control their emotions. From the results of this match, it can be seen that Napoli had internal problems that should be resolved immediately, and a fair solution can be found so that the players on the field can focus on competing with a calm spirit. It is clear that the Napoli players cannot let go of Luciano Spalletti easily and seem to really hope to be brought back and provide more direction to the team currently competing on the field.
