Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Sexylizzy2813]

A wonderful game that went down last night but the performance of Juventus wasn't impressive at all, they're not suppose to fall behind at that early stage of the game, at least they should have played like a team that want something desperately like a wounded lion, not waiting to be injured before fighting back.
Juventus lost the 2nd position and now they're about to lose the 3rd place again, they may probably finish outside the top 4 and you blame the coach? Is not proper after all Allegri got them out of the mess they were in last season (the deduction of points), if not for him I don't think they would have finished where they finished last campaign and beside the Old ladies only have the domestic league cup and the league it self to worry about but Inter Milan, Ac Milan and Atalanta were all playing Europe competitions, why didn't they (Juve) do better and now they're look for whom to blame, I would have been happier if Bologna had won that game because they were the better side while Juventus was struggling.

Actually, Bologna’s game is also not the best now, there are many draws, and after they were in the lead and had a 3-goal advantage, they missed the victory, that is, their form is also not the best. As for Atalanta, I think they can beat Torino and bypass Juventus. By the way, this was the first Juventus match without Alegre, so far he is temporarily replaced by Montero, and it is not yet known who will take the place of head coach. Earlier they wrote that it could be Conte, today I read that it could be De Zerbi, so far only rumors.

If Juventus had been the ones battling that top 4 like Bologna I'd say they're doing well, I think this is the best I have seen coming from Bologna, if I'm not mistaken this is their best in a very long time and let's forget about the draw Bologna are better than Juventus. As for Atalanta they're going to get the Torino business done in no time and it would be a shame if Juventus don't finish 4th, one thing we need to know is that the Juventus team need something different, Allegri left and the club is still struggling which means is not the fault of the manager, they lack creativity and no fighting spirit in that squad. And if a coach is coming to the Juventus side I'd prefer Conte, he'd do better than De Zerbi.

[Gallar]

Bologna made a big mess in the game against Juventus who we all thought would maintain that number 2 spot on the table since Inter Milan won the league base on a large number of points but they (Juve) couldn't keep up with the pressure from the teams who are behind them and now they find themselves in a very tight corner which means if Atalanta get a win against Fiorentina they (Juventus) will be dropping out of the top 4 on the log.

~Snip

Bologna's match against Juventus was indeed very fierce, as evidenced by Juventus' comeback in the second half making the Bologna players a little overwhelmed to be able to maintain a draw until the match ended. What I saw was that the Bologna players were a little careless in the second half so that the Juventus players had room to apply pressure with a counter-attack strategy. So, if for example the Bologna players are able to maintain their performance like in the first half, there is a big possibility that Bologna will be able to win this match. But unfortunately the Bologna players looked a little panicked so their performance was a little poor. And with this match ending in a draw, Juventus and Bologna's points are now the same, namely 68 points. However, because Bologna is superior in the number of goals, Juventus must remain in 4th place in Serie A, and this is not safe for Juventus.

The reason is, Atalanta, which is currently in 5th place, could shift Juventus' position. Even Bologna, who is in third place, is in danger of being shifted in position, if for example Atalanta is able to sweep the remaining matches. So the final ranking of Juventus and Bologna this season will be determined by the results of the Atalanta match. Then if you look at the teams that Atalanta will face in these 2 matches, in my opinion Atalanta has the potential to win both matches, because the teams that Atalanta will face are Fiorentina and Torino. Because if you look at the head to head record and current performance, in my opinion it is quite clear that Atalanta is quite superior to Fiorentina or Torino. For this reason, the possibility that Atalanta can sweep these two matches clean is very large.

[hahay]

The Bologna Juventus match saw a spectacular comeback by Juventus. Bologna are doing well in Serie A this season.  Bologna was playing very good football until the 70th minute of the match, but in the last 20 minutes Thiago Motta made a mistake he shouldn't have made and made tactical changes.

These tactical changes were the breaking moment of the match. Because Motta changed his defensive strategy when his team was ahead against Juventus, and by doing this, he made Juventus attack with all their strength and motivation. Even if you are leading by a different score against your opponent, you have to keep the pressure on until the last minute of the match, otherwise you will have comebacks like this one.

With this draw result, it makes Bologna and Juventus still have the same points and they only have one match left. In contrast to Atalanta and Fiorentina who still have two matches left and thus, that Atalanta has a very big chance to overtake Bologna and Juventus if Atalanta manages to win the remaining two matches.  But indeed, that they arethe top five teams will still finish in the Champion League zone but at least, it becomes very unfortunate if in the end Bologna and Juventus finish in fourth and fifth positions. While Atalanta are not competing in positions three and four, but in the end Atalanta have a very good chance of being able to finish in third position.

[Palakka]

I think at the end of the match Bologna Coach T. Motta made several mistakes, namely when he made 3 substitutions in the 70th to 75th minute which made the performance drop drastically so that Juventus could score 3 goals to equalize.
However, apart from that, this result is no longer that important for both teams because both of them are safe enough in the position to qualify for the UCL next season.

According me,  Freuler substitution, it was quite natural, because at that time he did look quite tired, besides that with a 3-0 victory, of course, it was quite natural for the coach to try to make substitutions to avoid the player being injured due to fatigue, inserting oussama to replace Freuler was the right thing to be able to maintain their victory because Oussama is a midfielder who can also act as a defensive midfielder To keep Bologna defense strong, but indeed the replacement of Calafiori by Beukema should not have been done by Motta, because in addition to him scoring two goals in the match, Calafiori was a player who managed to destroy every attack built by Juventus throughout the match with his defensive ability, and i think the beginning of Juventus resurgence of course after Chiesa goal occurred after taking advantage of Beukema mistake and make juventus the final score 3-3.

The draw obtained by both teams in the match does not change their position in the standings and also their chances of playing in the Champions League next season, currently the number of points owned by both teams is of course still possible to be passed by Atlanta but it no longer affects the Champions League tickets they already have, because indeed with one more game left Roma is ranked 6 it is impossible to be able to chase 5 teams that have been confirmed qualify for the Champions League next season.

[Hanadawa]

Roughly speaking, Inter, Milan, Juventus, Napoli will take 4 tickets

Why did you include Napoli in the team that qualified for the Champions League? Inter, AC Milan and Juventus are right because they have already locked tickets to the UCL next season. But Napoli is the team ranked 10th in the current standings. The teams in the top 5 have now confirmed their tickets to the UCL because their number of points can no longer be caught by other teams.

and Lazio, Atalanta, Bologna, Roma will apply for the remaining one with equal chances - so the chances on paper are 25%.

If you look at the current points, it seems like the teams in the top 5 have already locked tickets to the UCL next season. Ranked 5th is Atalanta and when it comes to chances, Atalanta has 66 points with 2 games remaining where As Roma has 63 points with 1 game remaining. Even in a situation where As Roma wins and Atalanta loses two matches, Atalanta will still qualify for the UCL because they have an aggregate goal advantage over As Roma.

[entertheabyss]

Inter Milan is the best club, always putting forth interesting results and performance. They ended the Seria A 2023/2024 campaign with uprising results. Nerazzurri was crowned Champions of the scudetto because they didn't hold back, always doing their best to outrun their opponents in matches. Simeone Inzaghi deserves his flowers, topping his opponents with huge points gap and we know how determined he growned to be and always in his prime to deliver stellar results.

Another draw from Juventus. I have truly forgotten when was the last time Juventus was able to win. At least in the Italian league. There is a very good chance that Juventus is actually not going to finish in the fourth position and is going to end up finishing in the fifth.

Anyway, I think Juventus is definitely going to look for a new coach. Because right now they are not getting the results that they want. I believe that the Juventus authority is not going to take into consideration the fact that they have been facing some big problems in recent times. Because regardless of those problems Juventus should still bring in better results. But at the same time, I believe this is a time when it is actually hard to find really good coaches. So I do not know what they are going to do and who they are going to bring in. But I hope it is not going to be a downgrade.

[Jatiluhung]

Bologna's quality of play was much better in the first half and they led 2-0 at half time. But they lost control going into the second half. And Juventus fired up and played an excellent second half. In the 2nd half the score of the game was 3-1 with Juventus scoring 3 goals and Bologna scoring 1 goal. The second half of this match saw a lot of hard fought action. but I will praise Bologna the most because their opponents Juventus are much stronger than them and yet they managed to draw the match 3-3 with them.

I think at the end of the match Bologna Coach T. Motta made several mistakes, namely when he made 3 substitutions in the 70th to 75th minute which made the performance drop drastically so that Juventus could score 3 goals to equalize.
However, apart from that, this result is no longer that important for both teams because both of them are safe enough in the position to qualify for the UCL next season.

It's true that the result of the match may no longer be that important for both of them. because Bologna and Juventus will definitely secure tickets to the UCL. And in this match, Bologna really should get more appreciation. Because they can make a team as strong as Juventus overwhelmed by them. And the improvement that occurred in the Bologna squad actually occurred after Thiago Motta filled the coaching bench at the club, namely since 2022. Thiago Motta is a young coach who is still 41 years old. He is almost the same age as Arteta and De Rossi. It seems that currently or in this era more and more talented young coaches are emerging. Examples of coaches who have succeeded in producing good results this season are Xabi Alonso at Leverkusen (42 years), Arteta at Arsenal (42 years), Thiago Motta at Bologna (41 years), Edin Terzic at Dortmund (41 years) and including De Rossi who might also get his achievements next season. What is clear is that the world of coaching has also received many talented coaches nowadays. Which makes European football even more interesting in the coming season.

[lixer]

It is not right to say impossible because it seemed impossible for them to beat Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield, but Atalanta managed to do it. In difficult matches, some teams are more concentrated. Atalanta has something similar. It's like they like difficult matches more. The final match will also be very difficult and if Atalanta is the team that makes fewer mistakes, maybe they will prove everyone wrong. They are doing well in Italy this year. There may be more to come, of course.

It is absolutely true that in football nothing is impossible, anything is still possible to happen and it must be admitted that Atalanta still has a chance to win the Europa League title this season even though they have to play against quite tough opponents throughout this season. namely Leverkusen but I still have hope in Atalanta and I don't underestimate them.

What Atalanta has done this season in Serie A and the Coppa Italy is quite impressive, even though they lost in the Coppa Italy final and had a few problems at the start of the season so they were far behind in points, but this was able to be overcome and Atalanta is likely to get a ticket to the Champions League. next season so that's quite a good achievement I think for them this season.

There is no doubt we are having Atlanta is one of the unpredictable side in Serie A which is having history of having poor results in last games of the season which hurt them badly, and they are usually failed to achieve good results but now in this season we are having impressive run from them which allow them to have few good achievements like Copa Italia Final with UEFA Europa Cup Final and ending into top five of the Serie A which are quite good successes their lost against Juventus is surely bad luck with now they are waiting for the Bayer Leverkusen to have something from this final game in this season we are having two teams making impressive run with Bologna and Atlanta are going to be had good time in next season it's never been easy to predict about this with things are quite interesting.

Nerazzurri was crowned Champions of the scudetto because they didn't hold back, always doing their best to outrun their opponents in matches. Simeone Inzaghi deserves his flowers, topping his opponents with huge points gap and we know how determined he growned to be and always in his prime to deliver stellar results.

I hope that the change of ownership will not destabilise the team. Today, unfortunately, President Zhang was not able to repay the debt he had contracted with Oaktree three years ago, and as agreed, he pledged Inter to the American investment fund. However, I agree with what you said, Inter did great things this year and proved to be the strongest team in Serie A, let's hope that the successes continue. Next year Inter will be involved in big events such as the Champions League, World Cup for Club  and Italian Super Cup.

At the moment Inter Milan are many points ahead of other teams so no other team can overtake them in this league. so this year's champion Inter Milan can already be said. However, the final result cannot be guaranteed as of now. But Inter Milan is quite possible. they plays every single match very carefully and wins the matches and because of this they are far ahead of all other teams in terms of points. good luck for them

[jaberwock]

I wonder if we can see Leverkusen get defeated by Atalanta in the Europa League final. Although Leverkusen have not lost any of their single game this season, I'm not confident with their game against Atalanta because Atalanta have played well in their past few games, I wasn't expecting them to have victory over Lecce due to the odds given to them. However, anything is possible in football, we don't know if that will be the end of Leverkusen's unbeaten streak. This is the only chance Atalanta has to win a trophy this season, and I believe they won't like to lose their chances of winning a trophy.

Roma on the other hand, they are currently at 6th posing, with 3 points behind Atalanta. Roma's performance is not good enough to compete in the next Champions League. Atalanta cannot lose any of their remaining games of the season, I don't think they will face difficult challenges to defeat Torino and Fiorentina.

Honestly, they needed to and that is the reason why they did it. I do not think that it would mean all that much, feels like they are going to end up with something normal and shouldn't really matter at all. I feel like we are going to end up with a good result whenever Juventus really really needs a win, like must get one, they will do that. They are already fourth with one game more than Atalanta, meaning that if Atalanta wins, they will drop to fourth, if they didn't get that tie, it would have been even worse.

So all in all, I think they are trying their best and hope that Atalanta loses points in one of the two games they have left. They put the pressure into Atalanta basically and that is not a bad idea at all and got the draw they needed.

[Webetcoins]

First, we need to understand whether DeRossi is a transitional coach or whether he has outgrown this status. But in any case, whether he stays or they hire a coach with a big name, I doubt that Roma will be able to compete for the Champions League zone, even taking into account the fact that Serie A will most likely retain its 5 spots.
Roughly speaking, Inter, Milan, Juventus, Napoli will take 4 tickets and Lazio, Atalanta, Bologna, Roma will apply for the remaining one with equal chances - so the chances on paper are 25%.

We never know what will be going to happen in next season with things are never been easy to predict here in Serie A while it's one of the wired leagues for me in this season we are having two surprises with Bologna and Atlanta are joining top five and who could be in next season it's never been easy to predict with we are having Inter, AC Milan and Juventus could be stayed, but others have to give their best with their consistency is also important while we are having too many surprises and wired results which usually happen near the end of the season give big setbacks to many teams.

Good thing now we are having top eight teams which are having some good quality and consistency for staying into top ranks with can Napoli fight back and Bologna will be able to stay at this level it's quite interesting with Roma, Atlanta and Lazio could be in good touch always.

[bering]

After only playing draw from Udinese last week i think Empoli position is very in danger because their chances to avoiding relegation zone would be so hard and for next week Empoli has hard match because they will fight against Roma and maybe if Empoli can able to overcomes Roma then they can survive in Serie A but i don't think Roma will let this happend because Roma also still considers this match is really important for them because although Roma chances to gets one place for Champion League spot is closed but they still want to secured 5th place

Empoli performance is no progress even in the last 2 season they only able to finish at 14th place and if we see based on their recent performance Empoli has through an 10 matches in Serie A with only gets 2 wins and 6 lost so these makes their position on League Table only can occupy 18th place and the match against Roma will be determined their final position and if lost then most likely Empoli will going to be relegated to Serie B but considering their recent performance which very poor then i highly doubt Empoli will be able to beat Roma

[Rengga Jati]

Roughly speaking, Inter, Milan, Juventus, Napoli will take 4 tickets

Why did you include Napoli in the team that qualified for the Champions League? Inter, AC Milan and Juventus are right because they have already locked tickets to the UCL next season. But Napoli is the team ranked 10th in the current standings. The teams in the top 5 have now confirmed their tickets to the UCL because their number of points can no longer be caught by other teams.

I'm also not confused, what does this mean for next season? because this season, Napoli have really failed, in 10th position, and that is a very bad thing, dropping from the title holders to the top 10 only. Meanwhile, those who enter the UCL are definitely those listed in blue in the standings. Meanwhile, Roma, with its new coach, de Rossi, has actually experienced quite good development this season. Even though they couldn't enter the UCL match, at least they managed to finish in the top 6 and re-enter the Europa League. In fact, their performance was quite doubtful in the beginning to the middle of the season because it was quite bad and there were several problems before de Rossi took over.

However, apart from that, this result is no longer that important for both teams because both of them are safe enough in the position to qualify for the UCL next season.

As I thought, but none of us could have known that this substitution of players would actually cause Bologna to suffer quite a crushing defeat. When he saw this happen, the Bologna coach regretted doing this. I'm sure that after the match was over, the players who only came on at the last minute would get the wrath of Thiago Motta. I hope this coach can evaluate the players who are not good enough and can improve the performance of his great players.

The way the Bolognas starting theirs performance from the first half of to say that is how they continue they may secored more 3 goals, but they later relax after come back from the second half amd add another goal. To be honest I didn't expect that Juventus acm able to equalized back all those goals, because right from the possession I see that Bologna was leading them by possession and having a much goal I was saying that Bologna have already winning the matches till when Juventus came back from the second half and show them there also improve back with their strong performance and they make it possible since their able to lead the game to draw which was very interesting match.

As it stands now Juventus and Bologna are in the same points at the table  but in the next coming match of the Juventus I'm expecting them to be ahead of the Bolognas with how they make their playing pattern this evening their not maintain their consistent if not the Juventus will not able to equalized all the 3 goals in the second half, but even there defenders also have problems because there the one that supposed hold their home well to avoid secored.

Let's also add because they have made 900 million in debt and that the president hasn't been seen in Italy for a year and that he will soon "go bankrupt" by selling Inter to a hedge fund, probably within the week.

But they are details.

[TelolettOm]

Roma will not complete this season with a high rank enough to participate in Champions League next season.

No, there is no chance to finish in UCL zone if Atalanta can win 1 more match. Next match, Atalanta will play against Torino at Atalanta own stadium. It is very unlikely that Torino will beat Atalanta, I assume this will be another 3 points for Atalanta. It means Atalanta will be safe to finish in 5th place at the end of the season.

It is a task that was not achieved by Mourinho with his two completed seasons in Rome but De Rossi will not achieve anything better than Mourinho.
If simply look at result, De Rossi did worse than Mourinho, no Europa League final match (worse) and no Champions League spot (the same).

We can't judge De Rossi did a worse thing, it is his first season. It is not too bad to finish in Europa league zone in Serie A. I think De Rossi needs time to adapt with the the whole players, he also needs time to build the team with his own way. I believe De Rossi will ask for buying some new players that he think to be helpful for AS Roma. AS Roma needs to improve the quality of their squad if they want to finish in a better position in the next season. The defense and attacking line should be improved, AS Roma only have quite good players in midfield line.

They are very important attacking players in Roma and without either Lukaku or Dybala, Roma will have big problems in attacking. Baldanzi was bought as Roma's preparation to separate with Dybala but this young player did not play too well so far.

Lukaku is just a loan player from Chelsea, Dybala often gets injured. AS Roma actually can't rely on these players. They only have Tammy Abraham but this player no longer performed well after he got injured for a long time. They need new players in the attacking line.

The mistake in Juventus was about keeping Allegri for a long time. Juventus couldn't have had a much better performance than this during this season and they could even have had more chances in the Serie A but thanks to Allegri and his mistakes the only thing they got in the fourth place in the league. However, Allegri could get the Italian Cup for this team but this is never enough for a team like Juventus and that's why they are trying to find a replacement for Allegri for the next season.
I think this can be impossible but I hope to see Conte come back to Juventus again to rebuild the team.
