Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[piebeyb]

In the last matches between the two teams, there has always been a winner, never a draw. And usually the home team have won. But I see Milan with the advantage today. Lazio's mind will be on the next game. Milan seems to have more appetite for second place in the league. At odds above 2.05, a Milan win is a risk worth taking to me.

This is a difficult match, of course for both teams to be able to win the full three points, I'm sure the result will be a draw in this meeting, even though AC Milan may be the favorite but playing at Lazio's home ground, of course it will be a little difficult to win, because Lazio also doesn't want to anymore. lost points in today's match because they have suffered three defeats in their last five matches and that is not a good result so they will definitely maintain their position to continue playing to the maximum and with all their strength.

MIlan's statistics are also not that good, they only won two matches from their last five matches, which is why of course they may not have enough strength to win this match because they also got two draws which might make them not that good in the attacking session either. Milan must be able to change their strategy against Lazio today because they also don't want to lose points and will play optimally today, even though I predict the result of these two matches will be a goalless draw. I'm not too interested in Odds but I think a draw is also good.

I think this is one of the toughest games for Milan this season.    Lazio might seem like they aren't as good as the previous season. But they are always a threat as they are more than just an average team. You know how great they are in the Champions League on one hand as well. I expect them to make Milan big difficulties tonight.

Milan aren't having very consistent days honestly. They lost quite many points in their most recent games in the Serie A. I won't trust their win with my bet today. Instead I might think of betting on both teams to score instead. It sounds more logical to me.

Paul Pogba said on his X account that he is heartbroken to see everything he has built in his football career taken away. It is a pity that Paul Pogba's career will end in this way when he is supposed to enjoy his career by signing a big-money contract, maybe with any Saudi Arabia club or any club in Major League Soccer.

Anyone would definitely be devastated and very sad if they were in Paul Pogba's position. And yes, I personally am actually very sad about the sanctions he received. Because he is at an age where he should start to have more respect from the world of football for all the things he has built so far in his career as a professional player.

All he can do is submit an appeal and hope that the sanctions he received can be more lenient.

[Xcode7]

Actually, this possibility could indeed exist. Because we know that Pogba always suffers from almost consecutive injuries which means he always needs recovery time. And of course he must also take the medicines prescribed by the doctor to recover his condition quickly.

And it could be that he didn't know or accidentally took drugs that contained doping. What is clear is that I think this has something to do with his recent health history of frequent injuries. So I hope he gets relief in the appeal he will file. Because it would be a shame if he gave up on the decision regarding the sanctions he received.

This is very possible because Pogba is currently recovering from an injury so there are many things he cannot know for sure.
The punishment received is quite detrimental for Pogba and if the appeal is rejected, it is certain that Pogba's career is over.

Now Pogba is 30 years old and if he adds a 4 year sentence then it is no longer effective for a football player to return to his top performance at the age of 34, especially since Pogba often has problems with injuries.

How can this be one of toughest game for imlan this season? im seeing it as the opposite thing. This can be one of ez match for acmilan. Don't you remember the result against fiorentina? lazio was losing against it and it's time for milan to take three points from lazio as a part of process to defend its UCL spot.
Lazio was not as good as when savic was there. Losing some important players is weakening the club. Lazio can be favored to win the match caused by the game will be happening away for acmilan. Acmilan's performance when it was playing away was not that good.

Milan aren't having very consistent days honestly. They lost quite many points in their most recent games in the Serie A. I won't trust their win with my bet today. Instead I might think of betting on both teams to score instead. It sounds more logical to me. 

Milan can still at least stay at the safe zone to secure UCL spot this season. The only main mission owned by pioli to make sure his club will able to qualify for the UCL next season. It's hard to pick which team that will win the game caused by milan and lazio are in the same state. They are inconsistent.
That makes sense, it's caused by both of clubs have same ability to score. I would rather than betting on BTTS or total over rather than picking which team that will win the game soon.

Like you rightly said, Lazio who is currently sitting in the 10th position of the Italian Serie A table haven't been as impressive as they were last season but that doesn't mean that they are a team that should be written off when facing AC Milan in their home stadium. Lazio's hope of finishing the season in the top four of the league table at the end of the season is still very much alive even when it'll be very difficult for them to achieve. They're currently eight points behind fourth placed Bologna and will definitely be seeking for a win in their league game against third placed AC Milan later tonight.

Milan also are still fighting to retain their spot in the top four of the league table in other to guarantee themselves UEFA Champions League campaign next season. They're currently seven points ahead of fifth placed Atalanta and losing their game tonight is likely to reduce that point difference which is why I expect them to play in their full strength tonight. Without doubt, it'll definitely be a difficult game for both sides who'll be going for nothing but a win in that crucial game but as someone that's been following the Italian Serie A since the start of the current campaign and how the top teams in the league table have been performing,  I think I'll be going for an AC Milan win or draw but that doesn't mean that I'll be too surprised if they happen to lose the game so the best betting option in the game if you ask me is that both teams are going to score in the game

At first I also thought that at least this match could produce goals from both teams. But I checked the h2h of both teams in the last 5 matches where these two teams met. I was quite surprised. because of the 5 matches played. It turns out there was only 1 match where both teams scored. And the other 4 matches all ended with one of the teams scoring quite a lot of goals.

So I think I'll take a risk by favoring one. And maybe Lazio should be my choice considering they are the hosts in today's match.

It is a pity that Paul Pogba's career will end in this way when he is supposed to enjoy his career by signing a big-money contract, maybe with any Saudi Arabia club or any club in Major League Soccer.

Today I also read quite viral news about Paul Pogba who had to end his career in football due to doping so he felt sad because of that. I was also surprised after reading the news because Paul Pogba should have still had time to continue his career in football if he had not been caught doping. However, this has been discovered and Paul Pogba must accept it gracefully even though he is in a sad condition and the Juventus team itself also really regrets this because Paul Pogba is also a very good player at Juventus.

[len01]

It is not easy to predict this match, we may see a surprising result. Milan is a team that is higher in the rankings, but I think they are likely to lose points, their performance in the last weeks is not as good as before.
I think it might be an easier option to say that both teams will score when betting on this match. Both teams have a high chance of scoring, especially if Lazio scores the first goal, I think Milan will respond

The strength of the two teams is quite balanced, and I agree with you that betting on goal overs in this match is much better than on either team because both teams have quite the same strength so it is quite difficult to predict.

This match will be played at Lazio's home ground, they certainly have much higher motivation but AC MIlan also has quite capable strength.
I saw that in the last few matches, AC Milan was quite productive in scoring goals, as was Lazio, so I think betting on goal overs in this match is quite worth it.

believe it or not, I still support Milan who will win, but regarding betting on the safest option, the Asian total over is more comfortable and will definitely create more than 2 scores in this match.
but it looks like I will still bet on Milan winning on the grounds that Milan performance has not been very good in recent times but Milan knows Lazio weakness and if they can win it will probably only be with a narrow score of 1-2
anyone will definitely believe in Milan current performance which is improving consistently without any obstacles and against Lazio it might be a little difficult but they won't just give up because Milan goal is clear enough to pursue first place even though it's impossible but at least they will continue to try or be able to get it runner up is a source of pride for Milan.
Statistically, everyone knows that Milan is superior in terms of player quality and much better depth of performance than Lazio.
there are no other options except betting on BTTS.

[slapper]

What I was wondering is what Jose Mourinho would say about Paul Pogba. My full support for him truly,as I do believe he'll definitely get this sentence shortened or still pardoned you feel me?

Breaks my heart to see such a vibe in it's beautiful state sentenced already. Just as I've said today, there'll always be more stories to tell than to just completely believe about whatever has been said about Paul Pogba. I can't wait to hear Paul's part of the stories.
During the least stages .
Nobody would expect that kind of matters from  Paul Pogba..... I hope he be fine and comes out stronger from it.

Seems over for Paul Pogba career in football after suspending until four years later due doping cases and he will return back when his age over 34 years old, I don't think Pogba keep quit with suspended and he will appeal how to get reduce suspended over four years become one or two years because its hard for him.
I am so disappointed what happen with Paul Pogba because he most talent midfielder and won many titles since his professional career from domestic league trophies until success winning FIFA World Cup with his country France national team.
After his suspended releasing, Paul Pogba still not gives any confirmation will acceptable four years banned in football or he will appeal and get reduce suspended around one or two years later.

Juventus midfielder and professional football player, Paul Pogba, has released an official statement about the ban he received. He plans to appeal the decision before the Court of Arbitration for Sport. It's possible that Pogba didn't intentionally take a performance-enhancing pill, but sometimes medications prescribed by doctors may contain substances that aren't allowed in football. Unfortunately, Pogba will face a ban, but hopefully, it will be reduced to two years or less on appeal.

A player of his calibre receiving such a harsh punishment is hard to imagine. I've heard that an accidental pharmaceutical consumption may not be his fault. His long shots that leave goalkeepers standing have always impressed me. The possibility of a four-year ban is terrible. I hope the appeal process exposes more and results in a fair outcome. It's terrible that he may have to play in a lower league or retire in 2024. Though I've criticised his attitude, his game contributions are undeniable

That makes sense, it's caused by both of clubs have same ability to score. I would rather than betting on BTTS or total over rather than picking which team that will win the game soon.

Remaining seven points from the 5th standings teams still not make AC Milan on comfortable position if losses many points in several matches later, I don't think Milan has compete to stop Inter Milan for winning Scudetto but need secure the champion league spot place in this season if won't taken by Atalanta as the 5th standings team.
Next match, Milan has difficult away match against Lazio who has motivate to get top fourth standings position, its crucial match for both team regarding want to get champion league spot standings but if losses points will make difficult their opportunity with top fourth position. Milan and Lazio performed not consistent yet and losses many many matches in this season, but seems Lazio will make little rotation regarding they will face Bayern Munich on the middle week.

This week we have some big games

[Franctoshi]

8th placed Lazio with 40 points, hosting 3rd place 53 points AC Milan in today's Italian Serie A game, and judging from the point of their Head-to-head meetings between the host team Lazio and their visitors Milan, I found that Ac Milan has met with Lazio a number of 62 times and have had more wins in their overall meetings where Lazio has won only direct 12 games, and AC Milan won 30 of this matches whereas they've shared a point in the rest 20 matches. Then Lazio has more of either playing draws hosting Milan at their home games or winning and have had a little of lost at the home against AC Milan, I expect this game to likely end in a draw looking at how important that this game is to both teams.

[Gallar]

Paul Pogba said on his X account that he is heartbroken to see everything he has built in his football career taken away. It is a pity that Paul Pogba's career will end in this way when he is supposed to enjoy his career by signing a big-money contract, maybe with any Saudi Arabia club or any club in Major League Soccer.

Today I also read quite viral news about Paul Pogba who had to end his career in football due to doping so he felt sad because of that. I was also surprised after reading the news because Paul Pogba should have still had time to continue his career in football if he had not been caught doping. However, this has been discovered and Paul Pogba must accept it gracefully even though he is in a sad condition and the Juventus team itself also really regrets this because Paul Pogba is also a very good player at Juventus.

Yes, it is very unfortunate that Paul Pogba has to experience the harsh reality at this time. I personally don't think why Pogba could use doping. Even though he already has extraordinary talent and stamina. So Pogba actually doesn't need to take doping drugs, which are reportedly testosterone, to increase his stamina. So with these facts, Pogba will reportedly be sentenced to a ban on playing (professional) football for 4 years. This will certainly be a disappointment and deep regret for Pogba. Because 4 years is not a short time. Apart from that, even if, for example, Pogba can return to playing football after 4 years, during that time there will not necessarily be a team that will want to recruit him. Because in essence his name in the world of football has now been tarnished. So if it is said that his professional career in the world of football is over, that could happen.

But from the news that I know, it is reported that Pogba will appeal the case against him.

The 30-year-old said he would appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport

In my personal opinion, if Pogba is proven to have used doping, his appeal will most likely not be successful. But even so, hopefully Pogba's case will be a valuable lesson for other footballers not to use doping.

[Palakka]

In my personal opinion, if Pogba is proven to have used doping, his appeal will most likely not be successful. But even so, hopefully Pogba's case will be a valuable lesson for other footballers not to use doping.

I think that by being officially sentenced to 4 years by the Italian football authorities, it is certain that Pogba has been proven to have used doping and it seems that Pogba's appeal has been rejected previously and is trying to appeal again to get rid of the case, Pogba did doping in August 2023 and if not wrong, before this case came out to the public, Pogba and Juventus actually tried to appeal, I think doping abuse in football will only damage the game because basically football is a sport that is healthy and upholds the values ​​of sportsmanship.

What Pogba has done is not something that should be imitated by other footballers, because even without doping, many footballers are able to play quite well and can even continue to achieve the highest levels of their careers so far such as Messi and Ronaldo, the shortcut to increasing stamina actually makes Pogba now have to end his career is faster and what's even funnier is that when I saw the news about this case, the response given by Pogba was as if he was shocked and as if he didn't know that doping was quite a serious violation for sports athletes all this time .

Lazio vs Milan

Both teams has unfavourable results from their latest matches in Serie A because Lazio lost from Fiorentina and Milan also has failed to win from Atalanta so both teams want to utilized this match to return to the winning ways especially for Lazio that they really required more points to improved their position on league standings because their current target want to finish at European zone at the end of the league and Milan position actually quite safe because they have 5 points difference above to Bologna but if Milan win from this match it can boosted their morale before they fight against Slavia Praha on Europa League

The squad conditions from both teams looks very good because all of their main players will be available today and they are in the good fitness but Milan will lost Luka Jovic because this player got suspension after received red card when Milan was lost from Monza and Lazio was unstable this season even so with Milan but compared to the latest performance between these teams Milan is slightly better besides that head to head statistics has been showing Milan has good records from Lazio so my predictions is Milan will going to win this match and Milan has good odds @2.23

It is not easy to predict this match, we may see a surprising result. Milan is a team that is higher in the rankings, but I think they are likely to lose points, their performance in the last weeks is not as good as before.
I think it might be an easier option to say that both teams will score when betting on this match. Both teams have a high chance of scoring, especially if Lazio scores the first goal, I think Milan will respond

Statistically, Milan deserves to be superior and we know that in the first half of the season Pioli squad was able to beat Lazio 2-0. Their current strengths are not much different, but on paper I agree that victory tends to favor Milan. Lazio is lucky because they will act as hosts, and in fact they also have the attributes to trouble Milan, Lazio could even beat Lazio. Head to head, Milan recorded more wins, and I predict that even if Milan wins, not many goals will be scored.

Apart from all that, the match between Lazio versus Milan has very important meaning, because both clubs will travel to compete in European competition. The victory they achieve will give them capital of self confidence and improve their mentality. However, it does not rule out the possibility that the match between Lazio versus Milan will end in a draw, because both teams are very ambitious to get an additional 3 points. Betting on Milan winning will require a lot of consideration, because Lazio cannot be underestimated.

[$anounimus$]

Milan can still at least stay at the safe zone to secure UCL spot this season. The only main mission owned by pioli to make sure his club will able to qualify for the UCL next season. It's hard to pick which team that will win the game caused by milan and lazio are in the same state. They are inconsistent.
That makes sense, it's caused by both of clubs have same ability to score. I would rather than betting on BTTS or total over rather than picking which team that will win the game soon.

Remaining seven points from the 5th standings teams still not make AC Milan on comfortable position if losses many points in several matches later, I don't think Milan has compete to stop Inter Milan for winning Scudetto but need secure the champion league spot place in this season if won't taken by Atalanta as the 5th standings team.
Next match, Milan has difficult away match against Lazio who has motivate to get top fourth standings position, its crucial match for both team regarding want to get champion league spot standings but if losses points will make difficult their opportunity with top fourth position. Milan and Lazio performed not consistent yet and losses many many matches in this season, but seems Lazio will make little rotation regarding they will face Bayern Munich on the middle week.

Milan certainly doesn't want to lose its momentum against Lazio. The target of locking in the Champions League zone position will certainly be the main focus for Pioli even though his team's condition is still quite unstable. The Rossoneri are clearly targeting three points by maximizing the condition of Lazio who have to share their concentration on the Champions League. I think this match is quite balanced and Milan should also be wary. Lazio also don't want to end the match empty-handed, they will definitely fight to get three points to improve their position in the standings. I predict the match will end in a draw, but it is leaning more towards Milan.

With this incident happening to one of the Juventus players, will this affect Juventus' position in the Italian League standings this season? Because considering that AC Milan, which is currently still in third place in the standings, is not far behind Juventus, so if Juventus' performance continues to worsen due to this, of course there is a good chance for AC Milan to get the runner-up position in the Italian League standings this season. Although Milan still has to hope for two defeats against Juventus in the remainder of this season.

[topbitcoin]

8th placed Lazio with 40 points, hosting 3rd place 53 points AC Milan in today's Italian Serie A game, and judging from the point of their Head-to-head meetings between the host team Lazio and their visitors Milan, I found that Ac Milan has met with Lazio a number of 62 times and have had more wins in their overall meetings where Lazio has won only direct 12 games, and AC Milan won 30 of this matches whereas they've shared a point in the rest 20 matches. Then Lazio has more of either playing draws hosting Milan at their home games or winning and have had a little of lost at the home against AC Milan, I expect this game to likely end in a draw looking at how important that this game is to both teams.

Regardless of their h2h or movement in position in this match Milan is still quite a favorite because of the statistics they have made in the last few matches so of course this will make a difference where the spirit and mentality of the players must be more pronounced in this case. Not that Lazio is bad and difficult to win in this match but from the results of the last 5 matches it seems that we realize that until now Milan is superior and more likely to be able to get points in this match.

But in this case, even though in terms of probability Milan is far superior, we also cannot underestimate Lazio just like that. They are still very troublesome and sometimes they can surprise in a match so Milan should not let their guard down in this match, especially for this week Milan have the status of an away team where Lazio have a pretty good advantage where they will play in front of thousands of their own supporters. This could provide more intimidation and make Milan a little shaky.

Although Milan still has to hope for two defeats against Juventus in the remainder of this season.

As far as I remember, Pogba doping case was proven after a test in that time, but at the same time Pogba was basically undergoing treatment for an injury. So, the doping case that was previously exposed was still possible because it was during the treatment period, so the drugs became part of the doping itself. But yes, now the case has had the result of Pogba being sentenced from the world of football for 4 years and with that, then I think there is nothing more that can be pursued because ofcourse, thepunishment on Pogba will remain and will not disappear completely even though it will still appeal. But about Juventus position in the standings, basically Pogba has not played for a long time and is not included in the Juventus squad. Therefore, even without Pogba, ofcourse Juventus will still be in the top four of the Serie A standings, and still experience performance instability.
