Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Gaza13]

Two matches that we cannot miss this week are the two matches between Roma vs Bologna and AC Milan vs Inter Milan. The results of the Milan vs Inter Milan match may not have a big meaning for the two of them, who are already safely ranked 1st and 2nd. But matches between clubs in one city always present very interesting matches. I would probably choose a draw. But the Bologna vs Roma match will be a very important match for both of them. Because Bologna wants to stay in the top 4 and keep their distance from Roma. And Roma wants to get close to Bologna so they can overtake Bologna and move up to 4th place. And I will trust Roma. because I want to see Roma finally get a ticket to UCL.

In my opinion, the Derby match between Inter vs Milan will be quite an interesting match to watch. I see that the difference in points between Milan and Juventus is quite large, namely 6 points, If Milan suffers a defeat, it probably won't have much of an impact on significant changes this Sunday. I also predict the result of the match will end in a draw. As for the battle for fourth place, I think both teams are equally determined to maintain it. The reason is that Bologna also wants to experience competition at a much higher level, If Bologna manages to maintain it until the end then this will be an extraordinary achievement for this year. In my opinion, for the Roma vs Bologna match, of course AS Roma is much more favored because they are playing at their home ground. Maybe AS Roma won narrowly over Bologna

Roma can do very well at the end of this European Championship. I think that in any case the players' way of playing has changed also due to the way of playing imparted by DDR. Just today I was hearing on the radio about a boy who is ill and who as a last wish he would like to see his Roma win the cup who knows who knows... I hope for him that his dream becomes reality

Actually Roma is doing well because if we look at their performance before now and their form aswell one wouldn't expect they will be able to achieve this far already in the Europa as they weren't looking like a team that was in a good form before now so i  was thinking they may not be able to make it this far in the Europa but then they have been able to do this much which could means they could to more.

Roma earlier been faced with the challenge of changing their Coach and other technicalities earlier this season was a draw down that has made so many expected less of them even when they had a change of coach it felt like they left the best for a lower one because their former coach was actually known across Europe for his achievements and the teams he has been able to manage all along through out he's career in Europe. It felt like Roma would not be able to do any better after his exit but then they have been able to achieve much with their current coach.

De Rossi has actually helped Roma changed a whole lot of things in the Europa league this season a d even in their domestic league they are current doing much better than they had done at the beginning of the season which is actually impactful and has a helped them have hopes of trying to get a trophy this season but if they eventually don't end up with a trophy, they have actually still done a lot regardless.

[Richbased]

The match between Inter Milan and AC Milan will not affect the position of Inter because they have 16 points gap between the second-placed team. They will definitely be Seria A Champions with few wins. But AC Milan will need the win to keep Juventus at length since the point gap is just 6 points.

It is very obvious that the gap Inter Milan is topping the league with can be able to make them the title winners which is crystal clear because I don't see them losing too many matches before the end of the season so winning AC Milan or not will not affect them in any way but however they should be able to win AC Milan in other to draw the title very close to them just like Bayern Leverkusen did in the Bundesliga and won even when they still have few matches before the season ends.

The real battle will be between Bologna and Roma since both teams are vying for the last Champions League ticket. From the statistics of five games, Roma will be the favourite because they have won three games, and drew two, while, Bologna has won just two, lost one and drew two. Daniele De Rossi is already a hero in Roma but if he manages to take the club to UCL, he would become a legend. It is amazing to see how a relatively inexperienced coach has turned the club around within a short period.

To be honest this game is gonna be classical because I can't imagine how Bologna just picked form suddenly and even at the verge of appearing in the champions league next season if they continue in this awesome display. It gladdens me when teams starts rising and countering the narrative that the big teams always gets bigger each season so their performance so far this season is applaudable and now that they are facing a stronger side Roma who have also been performing better since Danielle De Rossi assumed as the club's head coach, it will indeed be a very tough clash between the both teams as they struggle for a champions league spot next season.

[len01]

There is no doubt that Inter have already won the league, because it is impossible for Milan to reach their points without the league coming to an end. On the Europa League, you should not put all your trust in Milan, because the game can be the opposite.

I couldn't believe that Milan would lose to Roma in San siro, and the second leg would be in Rome, how are you still sure that Milan will not mess things up by not taking good advantage of their chances just like the first leg.

Inter Milan can lock in the Scudetto if they are able to win the Derby vs Milan match which will take place at the San Siro. Inter conceded two goals when they were held to a draw by Cagliari, while Milan conceded three goals when they drew at Sassuolo. Milan also conceded one goal when defeated by Roma when the two teams competed in the Europa League. The defeat against Roma and being held to a draw by Sassuolo made Inter chances of winning the Derby match very open.
Milan's inconsistent performance gives Inter an advantage in celebrating their success in winning the Scudetto this season. Milan will also play a difficult match at Roma headquarters in the second leg of the Europa League.

there is no doubt that Inter will still win the derby even though Inter can still concede against Cagliari, but Inter has pocketed Milan weaknesses which will always make it easier for Inzaghi to set a strategy to beat Milan.
without beating Milan, for me, Inter can now lock the Scudetto title with a very large point difference in the remaining matches.

I have determined where I should bet and I set my prediction if a surprise result can occur in this match between a draw and a loss but the biggest chance is with a draw.
this match will indeed be an interesting match and betting on one team winning can be very profitable but I actually prefer to bet on the BTTS result with lower risks but also lower odds.
we'll see in the upcoming match. I'm really sure that at least Milan will score 1 score and Milan will also score 1 score or more.

Milan's inconsistent performance gives Inter an advantage in celebrating their success in winning the Scudetto this season. Milan will also play a difficult match at Roma headquarters in the second leg of the Europa League.

Only one step away for Intermilan to be able to locked and celebrate the Scudetto this season of course on the condition that they have to beat Milan at San Siro later, I think this season's Milan derby will be hotter than the previous Milan derby, yes now Intermilan have the opportunity to celebrate their Scudetto at home Milan and of course it is very rare if a team will celebrate the championship at the home of their eternal rivals,  So far Intermilan have remained consistent in their victories and throughout the season Intermilan only suffered one defeat so it is very worthy for us to favorite Intermilan in the match even though playing at Milan home.

For Milan, of course the game is quite crucial for them, because so far Milan is competing to be able to maintain second place in the league from the pursuit of Juventus, especially in the last two games Milan failed to get a victory and maybe make Intermilan as an outlet for their revenge later, besides that Milan carries a mission to win in the derby to avoid a scene that is quite painful for their fans when Intermilan celebrates This season Scudetto  in front of their eyes.

Has remaining 14 points awhile from AC Milan, next match Inter has opportunity to secure Scudetto when both team facing each other on games week 33. Inter Milan loss three points on last match after being draw against Cagliari and the same with Milan got draw from Sassuolo, currently Milan on difficult position for derby match. Must focus on Europe League match against AS Roma on Friday night and few days left recovery its not good position for defeating Inter without European match in this middle week.
Milan had bad performance in last two consecutives matches, after defeating by AS Roma on the first leg match in Europe League and hold draw against Sassuolo get bad capital for facing derby match exactly Milan must focus on Europe League second leg match against AS Roma.

[beerlover]

There is no doubt now things are completely under control of the Inter Milan, and they can use their reserve players as well for the rest of the games but still they are doing their best for having better results and more points which is good sign even we have few things which are not into their side as they lost few points against Cagliari which create mess-up, but this is normal because players feel relax, and they are also not doing as they were doing few weeks back while competition was tough.

Here no doubt about Cagliari also deserve better review because now they are from bottom heading for the middle of the league table which is good for them because in recent games they beat Atlanta and then now having good result even now still they are going to have challenges, but things are well-balanced, and they can go with their full force for the better results as well in coming matches.

The thing is that if they do not want to play with their best players and just rest players then they have the right to do so and that makes them harder to bet on their games. If they keep playing bench players or even young players because they already won whatever they can, it would mean that if we bet on them to win like we have done so far this season then they are going to end up losing.

This is why I believe that we are going to be in trouble if we are not careful and that should be the most important part. I believe that the best thing we could do right now would be just focusing on whatever we can do, and it is going to be hard to bet on them, it should be something that will be a little bit more difficult.

If for example, Milan are able to beat Inter in the derby match later, that Inter will still succeed in getting the Scudetto this season. Because obviously, Inter still have a very big chance even if for example Inter lost by Milan, but in fact Inter still promises victory in the next Serie A matches. Therefore, Inter have basically been confirmed to get the scudetto this season. But yes, I'm also confident that Inter will manage to beat Milan in the derby match, and I will really take advantage of a good chance like this to keep betting on Inter of course, because I don't doubt Inter quality this season in Serie A.

I was about to have a look at the betting odds on the next most important match scheduled for this round of Serie A, namely the derby Milan - Inter and I was quite surprised to see all the odds quite substantial. I'm not sure Inter can be proclaimed champion of Italy in this match even though for the bookmakers they are the favourite, I think the scudetto will be awarded much later

Inter Milan has truly earned their dominance. They're destined to be champions; it's just a matter of time. While the Scudetto race is already decided, AC Milan still has control over the Europa League. Now, let's see if AC Milan is going to bottle it.

Inter Milan, which already has a 14 point difference with AC Milan, should be more relaxed when playing. Or I mean Inter Milan can play without feeling much pressure. And I also see that Inter Milan's chances in this match are quite big. And the worst result is probably a draw. But AC Milan, who is in high spirits, certainly cannot be underestimated. Even though they know that this season's title will be held by Inter Milan, AC Milan's motivation is still very strong because they also have one hope in the Europa League.

[tusandii]

The odds on Roma look really good. So tempting. They really need to win this game to get into the Champions League. The people will be behind them the whole way, and they'll play like it's their last game. Getting in on this might be a good idea. What do you think? enough to tempt you or too dangerous for you

If Roma manages to win the match the results will certainly be good where the point difference with Bologna is getting closer, especially as Bologna has appeared very inconsistent in their last few matches which is why As Roma can take advantage of this opportunity to catch up on the point difference with Bologna but De Rossi of course must be able to Rotating players well, especially since they have to face Ac MIlan in the second leg of the UEL match, will certainly be a tough job for As Roma to win even though they are already superior on aggregate.

I think De Rossi has succeeded in building As Roma well and it doesn't even take long for them to rise from adversity since being coached by Mourinho, but I don't know what happened about their internal problems. I know that As Roma has risen from adversity since De Rossi replaced Mourinho. If As Roma succeeds in reaching the UEL final, of course that will be a good achievement for De Rossi this season. Apart from that, if he succeeds in bringing As Roma to finish in the top four of the standings and get a UCL ticket too, that will definitely be even better.

Actually, for me this match will be a difficult match even though Roma will be the favorites in this match and there will be a lot of people who support Roma winning but I think Bologna can be a strong opponent.
If you say Bologna has not been consistent lately, but for me Bologna also has the same consistency as Roma, the only difference is that Bologna has lost while Roma has not had a defeat in the last 5 matches.
Betting on Roma's victory will be very profitable but is worth the risk because a draw could happen when Bologna doesn't want to lose its position to be able to get a ticket to the Champions League next season.

Judging from de Rossi success during his tenure as coach at Roma, it looks like Roma has a chance to beat Bologna but of course with a narrow score.
As we have always seen lately, Roma is really in a very positive trend, even the success of beating Milan in the UEL gave a sensation of satisfaction to increase the confidence of all Roma players and de Rossi will certainly continue to try to make a good contribution to try to get a ticket to Champions League.

Inter can't win the leauge this week.


The most interesting game is indeed Roma Bologna, it will be a "blood war" for a spot in the next Champion's League.

Milan also conceded one goal when defeated by Roma when the two teams competed in the Europa League.

Milan's inconsistent performance gives Inter an advantage in celebrating their success in winning the Scudetto this season. Milan will also play a difficult match at Roma headquarters in the second leg of the Europa League.

Inter Milan is one step closer to winning the Scudetto, because mathematically the existing difference in points will not be overtaken by its closest competitor AC Milan, because the remaining number of matches in the future is 6 more matches. Inter walked alone at the top of the Serie A standings this season, Juventus only lasted half the season as Inter tough competitor in the race for the Scudetto.

Meanwhile, the Milan derby match will always be one of the best matches in Serie A, because of the rivalry between the two teams that has been going on for quite a long time. Moreover, if the derby match is a decision for Inter to lock in the Scudetto, it is clear that the match will be fierce and full of pressure. Even though on paper Inter Milan are the favorites, but Milan cannot be underestimated. Milan has more matches scheduled, Pioli must be wise in determining his starting lineup, so that he can get through the next two tough matches undefeated. Apart from that, AC Milan will certainly prioritize the Europa League, which is the last chance for Pioli fleet to win a trophy this season. It is very likely that AC Milan will try to turn things around when facing Roma, and force Inter Milan to draw, that sounds reasonable.

[QueenVera]

The Milan derby match will be a decisive match for both teams this season, Intermilan's mission is to win the game to be able to celebrate their Scudetto title this season at home Milan, now Intermilan has a chance to be able to get the championship title on the condition that they must be able to win the game so that AC Milan who are in the second rank are no longer able to catch up with the number of points owned by Intermilan,  Currently InterMilan has collected 83 points while Milan has 69 points with 6 games left, so when Intermilan can beat Milan this week, it makes Intermilan's points 86 points so that with 5 games left, of course it is impossible for Milan to catch up with the points owned by Intermilan, Milan's mission is of course different from Intermilan, Milan of course has been safely ranked second, but they are ambitious to beat Intermilan to prevent Intermilan from getting the Scudetto Be faster and avoid Intermilan's Scudetto celebrations in san siro.

The Roma vs Bologna match is also very decisive for both teams, currently Roma is ambitious to be able to climb into the top 4 to qualify for the Champions League next season, as well as Bologna who are ambitious to win 3 points to keep their position in the current 4th rank, I think both matches are indeed very worth watching and will certainly present us an exciting match later.

Bologna themselves aren't much of a huge dreadful effect on teams in the league but they've been able to pull bigger grounds and maintained good positions on the table. They've handled games professionally and have done well by staying top of Napoli on the league table. Today's encounter between Bologna and Monza was insightful and yes the both teams did their best but as always, there's a team who performed greater than the others.
 
 Even in the Serie A, it'll be difficult for Roma to gain the top stand so it's just best that they focus their strength and struggle to maintaining a good result that'll see them scale through to the European cups next season. De Rossi can still make a great team from Roma and their next games encounters are awaited. They played away to Monza weeks ago and the game outcome actually went in their favor. So maybe the result against Bologna will turn in their favour too.

 For the scudetto title, it is one that's always a heavy tussle especially between inter and Juventus. Even Milan this season weren't really close to be found in the trophy race and it's just sad that they've failed to perform rightly in the league even though doing their best in the European contests. All seems like inter would play to lift the trophy when face Ac Milan in the Serie A encounter at San Siro. Well I won't say it'll be too shameful or embarrassing but the former team is eager to take the trophy in a grand style. It's good to know that few weeks before the season runs off, there'll be a known winner in the Italian Serie A league.

[Oluwa-btc]

We have a really lovely game between Roma and Bologna next Monday.    It is a home game for Roma and the odds they have for the win are just too difficult to refuse.    In their previous game in the league Bologna beat them by 2-0. However Roma were managed by Mourinho back then. Now there is a really good De Rossi impact.

Winning this game is very crucial for Roma to drop the gap to only one point for top four. Let's say their abandoned game ended up with a 1-1 draw then they would have a chance to equalize the points with Bologna. It will be a really tough game for sure. However I still want to give Roma win a chance here.

First, they should fight to the last point against Ac Milan tommorow, I'm not sure they would slack down for Ac Milan because they f what I saw over the weekend.
Ac Milan are not that strong Italian giants I saw years back and I'm not sure De Rossi and his men would want to lose tommorow night.
That is the most important game before we start making analysis of thengame against Bologna, even if they're also doing well attacking wise with Thiago Motta this very season.

I don't know if they will be able to make it to the Champions League Competition, they don't have it, they would try so hard but what are the chances?
Sacking Jose Mourinho was bad for me but this guy has transformed the lads up. He is indeed the right man, he also has a good relationship with Romelu Lukaku and Dybala Included.

[entertheabyss]

Inter Milan have reached the basis of giving it a wrap in the Italian league, competitive to handle their opponents. I have made everything easier in our eyes, they've been outstanding in matches and they've ruined the golden opportunities of their opponents this season, with the likes of Juventus and AC Milan. I have been declared winner for the scudetto this season, they're topping AC Milan with 14 points. Simeone Inzaghi will always be available to push the club to top points and winning shape.

[TelolettOm]

Yes that's right. Finally, the referee decided to abandon the match when he found out that Evan had collapsed on the field. People were worried that Evan would have a heart attack at that time. Until he fainted and was finally stretchered off the field and treated in hospital.

It takes a quite long time to come to that decision and it mainly comes from dedication of De Rossi to discuss with and convince the referee and Udinese's coach to suspend the match. It's likely that two teams will play a rest 20 minutes of the match on another day even it will cause some extra stress on their schedule. However, it is a right decision for both teams and means a lot for Ndicka.

It was a wise decision to take, especially for their opponents, Udinese, however, they finally agreed to the decision. Yes, the care for football players here is really shown very well. Who knows what the next match pattern will be like and when the time for the match will be, you will definitely have to consider several things, so as not to unfair either one. Luckily, Evan Ndicka's condition is getting better.

We have a really lovely game between Roma and Bologna next Monday.    It is a home game for Roma and the odds they have for the win are just too difficult to refuse.  

The possibility of a draw is quite high considering how Roma and Bologna have performed so far. Maybe Bologna is more consistent in their matches this season, so they managed to stay in 4th position this time. Although, perhaps we don't think their last few matches were optimal because they were also draws. However, this time the opponent was Roma, who were also fighting to take over their position. So, this will be quite an interesting game too. Fortunately, Roma will play at home, but, will this be that influencing for them?

[Iranus]

-snip
This is just a question of time and not whether AC Milan still has a chance to close the gap. It is possible that Inter doesn't play as strong as before and they lost some steam due to being eliminated from the Champions League. It happened to Napoli and it was sure that they will win the Scudetto, but they didn't play quite as well last season. I wouldn't be too concerned about their last draw at home. I expect a team that will be going all out, however AC Milan is on a pretty good run at the moment.

Really bad performance from Napoli this season. I actually did not think they would perform so badly. I think now almost the majority of the people have actually forgotten that they are the defending champion of the  Serie A this season. and I am very positive that they are not going to finish in the top five positions, which is needed to compete in the European competition next season.

The only good thing that is going to happen for the Napoli players is that they wanted to leave but in the end, they ended up staying. And now they will leave for the club that they want to play for. Napoli is definitely losing the good players that they have. I don't think I have ever seen a bigger example of one season wonder to be honest. Again I did not think they would perform so badly, I thought they would actually be able to give a good competition for the title at least even if they are unable to defend the title successfully.

[Fuso.hp]

Inter Milan may soon be celebrating a title win. With six matches left in the season, Inter Milan is in the number one position of the points table with 12 points more than AC Milan, which is in the second position of the points table. There is no doubt that Inter Milan will get full points in most of the remaining matches if they continue their performance. Juventus is in the third position of the point table with 6 points less than AC Milan, in that case there may be a fight for the number one and two position of the point table but Inter Milan will hold the first position of the point table in the end. At the current position in the points table, Inter Milan may celebrate the title after two more matches.  Congratulations again in advance to Inter Milan.

Inter Milan take Scudetto this season but they are not happy by winning only Scudetto. They wanted to go far in Champions League and did created good opportunities by themselves to at least appear in quarter finals. Some wasted chances cost them a lot in Champions League and they will have to wait for a next season to return with ambitious target in Champions League.

In Serie A, no clubs can prevent Inter Milan to lift Scudetto in this season and it is impossible with big gaps as 14 points and only 6 more matches. They will lift Scudetto next two or three matches, depends on their performances next matches as well as AC Milan performances too.

They did not perform well in the Super Sixteen of the Champions League due to which they were eliminated from the Super Sixteen of the Champions League this season. It is truly unacceptable that a team that qualified for the Champions League final last season and came so close to almost winning the final could not qualify for the quarter finals this season. But they should not dwell on the mistake they have made as they are going to win the Italian league title in case they qualify for the Champions League next season and they must think about next season. 

PSG qualified for the Champions League semi finals as well as Dortmund qualified for the Champions League semi finals I would say Inter Milan was a much better team than these two teams even though they didn't show their good performance in the Champions League.

[Strongkored]

Let's say their abandoned game ended up with a 1-1 draw then they would have a chance to equalize the points with Bologna. It will be a really tough game for sure. However I still want to give Roma win a chance here.

This time AS Roma is quite different, indeed they will probably win this match even though it won't be easy, considering that their opponents are also still trying to secure a top-four position so they can play in the Champions League and that is a fairly rare achievement for Bologna so they will try to did not waste the opportunity to play in the most prestigious competition in Europe.

In their last six meetings, not many goals have been scored, and my prediction is that will also happen in this week's match. Roma winning this match is very wide open but ending in a draw is also very likely to happen, especially since Bologna has a better defense than Roma and will try to keep getting points so they can maintain their current position.

Again I did not think they would perform so badly, I thought they would actually be able to give a good competition for the title at least even if they are unable to defend the title successfully.

Well this season could end in a disaster for them regarding the start of the next season. You correctly pointed out that the players decided to stay because many of them thought there is going to be something big in the year after as well. They wanted to give it another shot to dominate the Serie A and to advance further in the Champions League, but all of their dreams relatively quickly fell apart, especially in the Serie A.

I doubt there is a coming back from that now. Imagine when some of the most important players now leave and they don't play the Champions League. How are they going to replace anyone with a great player if they can't offer new players to play the Champions League. It is going to look very dark for them.
