Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Gallar]

I am very happy to welcome Napoli's victory over Fiorentina and they really deserved it. Fiorentina played quite well, but every time they got a chance they failed to score a goal. Like when they got a penalty kick but Fiorentina failed to do it and Napoli had to concede after that. Osimhen's absence doesn't seem to be a problem for Napoli and they are firmly on their way to the semifinals of the Supercoppa Italiana.

In this match, Fiorentina actually attacked more than Napoli. However, the problem is that in terms of utilization it is still very lacking. Starting from goals that ended offside, to penalty kicks, all failed to become goals. However, on the contrary, Napoli played relaxed and when opportunities arose, they were able to take full advantage of these opportunities.
So Napoli deserved to win this match. Even though I saw Napoli being attacked a lot by Fiorentina, their defense was very strong. And when counterattacking, the Napoli players were really calm and focused. Up to the Fiorentina goal mouth.

Then in the next Italian Supercoppa match, Inter Milan will face Lazio. I personally am very optimistic that Inter will win this match easily. The reason is that the last meeting between Inter and Lazio in Serie A was won by Inter.
That is why
I am sure that Inter this time can definitely win the match against Lazio. Plus, Inter is currently in very good form. In the last match alone, Inter managed to completely slaughter Monza with a score of 5-1.

Max Allegri be buzzing.. Can he leapfrog Inter Milan finally? That can only happen when the Champions League Competition begins, Inter Milan should be choked up with lots of games to play.

Excellent analysis, you are right and this will certainly happen, as the matches will become more and more demanding both from a physical and mental point of view and therefore Inter will have to choose who to play and will inevitably have to sacrifice something (at risk)
Juventus can take advantage of it there, given that they don't play cup matches

Yesterday, Napoli won their game in the semi-final 3-0 against Florenze. The first team in the final, and if Inter Milan win today (which I think they will) then it will be a nice final. Inter Milan against SSC Napoli, last seasons cup winners against last seasons Serie A champions. This year it could go the other way, but I think Inter Milan will win Serie A and the Supercoppa. Lazio Rom have had a good run, winning all of their last 5 games. The last game between the two teams was in December 2023 and Inter Milan won that 2-0. So, like you, I would bet on Inter today.

Like when they got a penalty kick but Fiorentina failed to do it and Napoli had to concede after that. Osimhen's absence doesn't seem to be a problem for Napoli and they are firmly on their way to the semifinals of the Supercoppa Italiana.

The absence of Osimhen in the team because he has to play for Nigeria in AFCON isn't a problem for Napoli, this is proven by the results of Napoli's match this time, they managed to beat Fiorentina even with a clean sheet.

BTW, regarding their journey in the Italian Super Cup, they will not go to the semifinals, because this match itself is a semifinal, their next step is to play in the final, and the opponent that awaits them next is Inter Milan or Lazio who will play tomorrow.

However, Osimhen's absence for Napoli in Serie A is clearly a problem and we know that Napoli's performance declines a lot when Osimhen is not there. It seems like coach Walter Mazzari wants his team to play better in the Italian Supercoppa because somehow they have to qualify even though their opponents are quite tough, namely Fiorentina. But unfortunately here Fiorentina can't do much and can only lament their fate if Napoli are still above them.

The other semi-final match between Inter and Lazio is certainly highly anticipated and it is curious who will qualify for the final against Napoli. Maybe if it was clear from me I would wait for Inter because they have a better attack and Lazio is only strong in defense but not good in attack. But the thing that is quite worrying is that the match will end in a draw in normal time and there I might be blind and not know who will go through extra time.

There is no doubt that Inter Milan will be the favorites in today's Supercoppa Italia semi-final match. Because we can't expect much from Lazio this season. Because Lazio is currently experiencing inconsistency in playing throughout this season, especially in Serie A. But that doesn't mean Inter Milan will win easily. because Lazio is still a big and strong club when they are in optimal condition. In fact, recently they have also started to find their rhythm again. Even in Serie A, in the last 4 matches, we know that Lazio has continued to manage to collect full points which has made them move up to 6th place in the current Serie A standings and higher than Napoli who are only ranked 8th.

But at the end of last year Inter Milan managed to beat Lazio with a score of 0-2. And I think this time won't be much different. So betting on Inter Milan is indeed the best choice.

But if Inter Milan manages to win this match then Napoli will be in trouble in the Italian Supercoppa Final. Because currently there is a contrast in performance between Napoli and Inter Milan this season.

I am looking forward to see De Rossi debut match against Verona tomorrow because basically Verona is weak team in Serie A but Roma condition doesn't really good especially we still don't know Roma under De Rossi will be able to performing well or not and in the first meeting Roma have to lost from Verona with narrow scores so De Rossi have to bringing Roma to gets revenge from Verona and if we talking about the statistics Roma at home was quite impressive this season because in the last 8 home matches Roma is still unbeatable

But indeed Roma only gets 1 wins from 6 matches in Serie A and De Rossi has hard task to improved Roma performance until end of this season and about team condition previously under Mourinho Roma was often to play with 3-5-2 formation because Mourinho is the manager who likes to play with defensive style but confirmed De Rossi will attempts to used different strategy just like 4-3-3 so probably we will see Roma will playing with slightly attacking and about Roma front lines usually Lukaku will played along with Dybala but recently Dybala got injured and he will be doubtful to play and about betting options Roma has odds @1.46 obviously they are the favourite but i am not sure this could be a good pick or not

That's true but there is still no guarantee that it will work out under those conditions. Now I think you are specifically referring to players who played for their club and then also become a coach of that club. The identification level is high, but still it doesn't make a good coach yet. Not every player is born to be a great coach. You can see all kinds of examples and it doesn't always have to be the club they were raised in when they take over the coaching position. Xabi Alonso is doing an incredible job, Steven Gerrard is losing all his credibility. Wayne Rooney is a diificult case in my opinion. I think he really wants to but lacks some charisma or something.

There are no successful Premier League players who have become great coaches, but there are many players who play in a La Liga team who have become successful coaches. Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney, Vincent Kompany are some of the players who are currently coaches, but all of them are not great coaches. Maybe it's a bit different from players who are former Serie A and La Liga players, some of them are successful coaches who have won many titles so far.

Indeed, there is no guarantee that a former player who coaches his club can bring much success to his club. Pep Guardiola and Luis Erique are two Barcelona coaches who were successful as Barcelona coaches. Carlo Ancelotti and Zinédine Zidane are two successful coaches with Real Madrid, but Ancelotti was also successful with his former team AC Milan.

Inter Milan against SSC Napoli, last seasons cup winners against last seasons Serie A champions. This year it could go the other way, but I think Inter Milan will win Serie A and the Supercoppa. Lazio Rom have had a good run, winning all of their last 5 games.

Napoli played really well on there match against Florenze they actually did not give Florenze a breathing space and they dominated the match from the beginning to the end of the match however I did not believe Jonathan Ikone will miss the penalty he did but however they were able to put more efforts on there scoring performance by wining Florenze 3-0 and qualifying from the semi finals. However is actually obvious that Inter Milan will win Lazio because there is no way we can compare the both teams in times of performance when we no how good Inter Milan has been on this season, so actually is certain that Inter Milan and Napoli will be meeting each other on the finals.

Inter Milan without doubt have been the best Italian team since the start of the season and that's why I perfectly understand it when people think that it'll not be easy for Juventus to overtake them in the league table. The knockout stages of the UEFA champions league competition returns next month and until then, Inter Milan are solely involved in domestic games as well as their rivals Juventus. However, let's not forget that Inter Milan are currently leading the league table by just two points and that means that if they for any reason losses any game and Juventus wins, Juventus will automatically overtake them.

So there's every possiblity that Juventus might be leading the league table even before the return of the UEFA champions league though it'll be very difficult for that to happen

Daniele De Rossi is preparing for his first game with Roma which is tomorrow evening. This can be one of the things I'm waiting for excitedly in the Serie A these days. Because Roma were managed by Mourinho for a really long time period. They were successful with him in European tournaments like the Conference League.

However Mourinho couldn't fulfil the board's expectations in the Serie A which must be the main reason why they parted ways with him. If De Rossi manages to make progress here as well then his contract would probably be extended by a year.

I don't understand why they think a player like De Rossi can have a good performance in Roma, they had a good coach like Jose Mourinho in the team and this coach was famous because of the good knowledge he had but in the end, they couldn't have good performance with Mourinho and now Roma decided to trust De Rossi while he is not experienced at all.
De Rossi was definitely a good and famous player but there is no guarantee to say he can also be a good coach for Roma to save them from this situation.

Yes, Napoli's win was great. Fiorentina fought well, but Napoli capitalized on their mistakes. Fiorentina's missed penalty and Napoli's swift comeback illustrate their quickness to capitalize. Napoli can win games even without Osimhen.

Their performance without Osimhen is outstanding, right? They showed that their squad is stronger than one player. Their recent win and recent record imply they have the depth and strategy to manage large games without their star player. Their forthcoming matchups, notably the Supercoppa Italiana semis, look enticing. Looking forward to how they'll use this momentum!

Napoli players played very well and they won. Their performance was very organized. But I wouldn't say they dominated the match. 61% ball possession in this match. And Fiorentina players attacked more than Napoli players. Fiorentina players were able to make 16 shots. On the other hand, Napoli players made 8 shots. However, Napoli's gameplay was very organized. They kept their defense strong and then continued to attack. And every Napoli attack was very planned. Napoli's overall performance was very good. They got an excellent 3-0 win.

Napoli won this match while they didn't have Osimhen in the team and they were playing against a strong team like Fiorentina while the chance for Fiorentina to win this match was high.
Even in the situation when they didn't have their superstar player, Osimhen, Alessio Zerbin scored two goals for the team. He came to the field just for ten minutes and during this time, he scored two goals which is awesome for any player.

Finally and after three years Roma got Muriniho fired from this team. They are in the 9th place of the Serie A and that isn't acceptable for Roma to be in this situation, so far in the league they got only 29 points.
But now Roma is going to take some risks and they started working with Daniele De Rossi, their former player.

Jose Mourinho dismissal was certainly very surprising because he was the best coach who was able to present trophies for the team he coached, but Roma announced in recent days that they had parted ways with Jose Mourinho. I think Roma under his guidance performed quite well last season but this season they experienced a slight setback in their performance because many of their players were injured.

Daniele De Rossi has officially been appointed as Roma coach, but I see that he still lacks experience in his coaching career so it seems like he will also have difficulties in bringing Roma back from adversity. But we hope he can be successful in Roma because he is no stranger to Roma because Daniele is a legend in the Roma team so this time he will try to bring Roma back to winning ways from the tactics he will implement.

We all know Jose Mourinho is not a coach to stay jobless and without a team for a long time, he usually gets interesting offers and even if they fired him from Roma but still, he is still close to joining another team.
Mourinho's agent, Jorge Mendes started talking about this coach with Aurelio De Laurentiis and there is a high possibility of seeing an agreement between Aurelio De Laurentiis and Mourinho which means Mourinho can be the next coach for Napoli.
Since they lost Luciano Spalletti they couldn't find a good coach and maybe Mourinho can save them from this situation.

Far from true, don't believe news like this they're only here for click's and nothing else. The club are right behind the manager Walter Mazzari even if we do feel like he's not the perfect man for the job. The management haven't made any official statement or comment about getting him sacked. I do not think they'd be able to get Jose Mourinho the players he wants. Though, they have a very good striker he'll be happy to work with ( we all know he loves to work with African Strikers )
Jose Mourinho should find time to rest and clear his head, A move to Newcastle or one of the Saudi Arabian League sis what I expect.

Y'all be writing like Victor Oshime made them a poor side lol! Hopefully they consistently give the fans such wins back to back.

I don't think Napoli will try to hire Josè Mourinho, JM has a very high salary and in fact he is the second highest paid coach in Serie A, and Napoli already have two coaches under contract, Rudi Garcia despite being sacked still receives his salary from Napoli, and Walter Mazzarri who is the current coach. I doubt that De Laurentis will try to sign Mourinho at the end of the championship, it's mostly clickbait news

Daniele De Rossi is indeed a legendary As Roma player and maybe he deserves to coach As Roma because of course he is used to this club in his time, but I am not sure that he will make short progress in the near future let alone only half this season, a quick decision that taken to replace Mourinho is actually a step that in my opinion could be a fatal mistake, because adapting to a new strategy from a new coach could possibly be worse.

But I will see how Daniele De Rossi prepares for his first match against Verona later which is not a difficult club for Roma to beat, but I want to see what strategy Daniele De Rossi applies to face Verona, I hope As Roma's game is much better according to the hopes of all supporters, even though I know that to make a great club it takes quite a long time like what Mourinho did before where he was an experienced coach compared to Daniele De Rossi who was relatively new and didn't have much experience in managing a club.

Half a season is a short time, Daniele De Rossi must show his abilities and must not waste the trust he has given him, even though it is not satisfactory, it is not a result to worry about because a club cannot become great in a short time.

I agree, look like it is impossible for Napoli to make Mourinho as their coach at this time. Indeed, currently Mazzari does not have an official contract and is only an interim coach at Napoli. However, this is not a reason for Napoli to appoint Mourinho at this time. After all, Mourinho has failed at AS Roma and he is almost done in 3 seasons, on the other side this season Napoli is also in bad performance. So, it doesn't seem they will bring in Mourinho right now.

Max Allegri be buzzing.. Can he leapfrog Inter Milan finally? That can only happen when the Champions League Competition begins, Inter Milan should be choked up with lots of games to play.

Juventus can take advantage of it there, given that they don't play cup matches

Indeed, Inter Milan still has many matches to play, but this is in balance with the squad that Inter Milan has compared to Juventus this season. Just look at the standings, apart from being at the top of the standings, Inter's goal productivity is also superior to Juventus, as well as Inter conceding fewer goals, this indicates that Inter is better prepared for this season with a busy schedule.

In the next match, if Inter Milan can win against Lazio in the Italian Supercoppa and in Serie A against Fiorentina, Juventus and after that Roma, then I am sure Inter will be on the verge of winning the Scudetto because these teams are a big challenge for Inter, especially Juventus.

Lazio Rom have had a good run, winning all of their last 5 games. The last game between the two teams was in December 2023 and Inter Milan won that 2-0. So, like you, I would bet on Inter today.

Inter Milan already have two consecutive win both home and away against Lazio, what make me have confidence for Inter Milan to win today's match is  because of their consistent this season, if Inter Milan win tonight it will be an entertainment to see Inter Milan who champion against Napoli the Champions of serie A, Napoli won despite the absent of their main man Victor Osimhen, but he will be excited because he gain two victory both home and the club side. Inter Milan are capable of being the serie A champion this time around if they can withstand any pressure because the space of two points is never enough for them to lift the trophy, more effort is require from them because they still have many matches to play.
