Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[klidex]

I didn't expect AC Milan to lose when visiting Parma's headquarters even though their opponent was a promoted club, Milan's performance should have been better than the promoted club or at least get a draw but unfortunately they had to swallow the bitter pill of defeat, in the last 2 matches Milan have not won full points and have only collected 1 point, this is a very bad result in Paulo Fonseca's debut, the club must immediately correct the mistake so that it can return to its best performance.

Meanwhile Inter Milan are not having any difficulties, they won easily against Lecce with a score of 2:0. Currently, Inter Milan is leading the standings temporarily while waiting for the 2nd match which has not been carried out by several clubs.

[Silence Scream]

Disaster for Ac Milan.
They just lost by 2-1 vs PArma and now they have taken 4 goals in 2 games but most importantly they only have 1 point of 6.
And thinking that the supporters were not happy about Pioli 2 months ago, are they now happy?

They could have taken Conte but they wanted to save money and this is the situation with Fonseca.

I think Milan fans will soon regret letting Stefano Pioli leave, yet during the summer games they won against Manchester city Real Madrid and Barcelona! LOL 1 point in two games is very little but we are at the beginning of the championship and they can regain lost ground, of course every fan would like to see their team win especially if we are talking about Milan! There is time and hope for Fonseca

Milan were effective throughout the match but fell behind in terms of score and lost to Parma 2-1. Parma had a good preparation period. So did Milan, but Milan played very badly. They wasted many positions generously in this match. These matches may be redeemable, but they should lose less from now on. Such matches cannot be redeemed because they still have tough teams ahead of them such as Inter, Napoli, Fiorentina, and Juventus.

A satisfying result for Inter but a bit strange to see Lazio defeat when facing Udinese. Since the first half started, Lazio actually played quite well but unfortunately Lazio attacking players were not able to penetrate Udinese defense and it was very obvious that Lazio attacking line was not very aggressive because they could not score when Udinese players were still intact without getting a red card. But after entering the final minutes, Lazio was able to score 1 goal and that was because Udinese players got a red card and only played with 10 players. This was a humiliating defeat even though Lazio was not the host but Udinese was just a weak team that Lazio failed to beat.

The second week of Serie A still presents many surprises, Lazio and AC Milan suffered defeats against lower-ranked teams and even AC Milan lost against a promoted team.

LAzio's defeat to Udinese identified that Lazio's performance was quite bad, especially their front line which could not take advantage of many opportunities and even since the 68th minute Lazio was ahead by 1 player when one of Udinese's players Kamara received a red card but Lazio did not make much effort to avoid them from defeat.

And AC Milan's defeat was also surprising, because the AC Milan team played quite well since the pre-season match but in the Serie A match they have not won, this will have a bad impact I think on the mentality and confidence of the team with their new coach because of the poor results in the first 2 matches of the competition, if they can't turn things around significantly (rise from adversity quickly) then they have to forget about being able to compete to win the Scudetto.

And for the victory achieved by Inter Milan it was quite worthy, btw your bet is quite good, I personally still have a hard time predicting Serie A at the beginning of the season like this.

Well I was very disappointed by the performance of Milan yesterday because this is just the beginning of the league, and it's a time they should be accumulating as much point as possible, but due to how poor they were, they lost to a newly promoted side parma, though I feels like they are still trying to understand the system of the new coach that's why they are struggling, but time is very much essential, they have to improve very fast, because the more points they lost its the more they falls behind in their quest to fight for the title, so they can't afford more losing from now, if they really want to challenge for this year league title.

Then as for the performance of inter Milan, I was actually impressed by what I saw from them, their performance was nothing short of what I expected because they are actually a top team, and I believe that they are way more stronger than Ac Milan, so a big congratulations to them on a well deserved victory yesterday.

Torino vs Atalanta possible lineup

Atalanta

Musso, De Roon, Hien, Djimsiti : Zappacosta, Ederson, Pasalic, Ruggeri: Brescianini, De Ketelaere : Retegui

Torino

Milinkovic-Savic: Vojvoda, Coco, Masina: Lazaro, Ricci, Linetty, Ilic, Sosa: Sanabria, Zapata

Atalanta had just starting this season with impressive performance because last week they won from Lecce with final scores 4-0 but Torino also cannot be says bad because they can able to playing draw from Milan but the latest meeting from them was happened on May last season and at that time Atalanta can win from Torino with huge scores

From the defense and attacking certainly Atalanta much better than Torino this because Atalanta very solid and still clean sheet and for this match although played at Torino home ground i think Atalanta has good chances to gets 3 points so that's why betting on Atalanta win seems good pick and the bookmakers give high odds for this option @2.23

It is very risky to bet on Atalanta even though Atalanta is far superior in terms of play, but playing as a guest will definitely get very difficult pressure, Torino will certainly not let their guests easily get full points in this match, although in terms of calculations it is worth being aware that they could make Torino concede more goals, because the attackers owned by Atalanta can provide surprises in all matches, especially this early season, the season where all clubs will compete to collect points in each match, I will try to place my bet on Atalanta even though I have doubts about this match, because Torino could want this match to end in a draw because it would ruin everyone's predictions with Torino's defense.

After a promising start to the season under Antonio Conte, Napoli started Serie A with problems after a shock defeat against Verona. Napoli were actually better than their opponent in the first half against Verona. However, after conceding the goal in the second half, they had big defensive deficits. In the transfer window during the week Napoli brought in a player like David Neres who can contribute to the team. I think Napoli will recover quickly and they will play good football for the rest of the league. Bologna, on the other hand, started the season with 1 point against Udinese even though they were ahead. Napoli will want to forget last week in front of their fans, but their opponents are also tough. This match will be balanced and I prefer 2 goals and below for the bet.

The Parma vs Milan match is an interesting match with the final result of the match surprising us all, I think there will be many gamblers who lose in that match because the majority of gambling house make Milan the favorite team in that match, we can say Parma vs Milan match with a classic match if remembering Parma previous journey in the Italian league, but even so of course the era has changed now and Parma is actually no longer as great as before,  so I personally previously hoped that Milan could win this match after the negative results they got in the previous match from torino, but what we see now with 2 consecutive matches without a win certainly indicates that something is wrong in Milan and Paulo Fonsesca must immediately fix it to be able to compete in the race for the Scudetto this season.

The 2nd week match that Napoli will play today is against Bologna and in my opinion this will still be a problem if Conte does not provide 3 points playing at home. Bologna is not an easy club to conquer, last season they showed their seriousness in undergoing Serie A, so now a big opportunity is in front of Bologna's eyes to take advantage of Napoli's instability. If you look at the last match between Bologna and Napoli, the results are very clear that Bologna still has the same strength to give Napoli a surprise. I expect 3 points for Bologna as a heavy blow to Conte and Napoli management.

[Leviathan.007]

Since Conte joined Napoli he tried to do his best to have the team improve and get in better form and that's why he wanted to hire some more players for Napoli for this season. Hiring Lukaku was one good example for Conte but hiring this superstar player couldn't be easy for any team.
Now it seems Conte wants to still hire Scott McTominay from Mancshyer United.
So Napoli sent a 25 million euro offer for hiring Scott McTominay to get this player in the last remaining days of the transfer window.

Bologna looks better compared to Napoli in all of the lines. Though we scored only 1 goal through a penalty against Udinese in the last game, we produced 3 xG in that game. Also, we look well-organized in the pre-season. Our next match is an away game.

Compared to Napoli, our stats are far above. In August, Napoli didn't score in any match. But, we scored in every single game. Italiano loves to beat Napoli in away games, and i predict 1-3 Bologna win.  

Our draw against Udinese, who recently beat Lazio, is convincing me. If we can to steal three points from Napoli's home.

Bologna is not a weak team. I don't see any way to say for sure that Napoli will win even if it's a Napoli home match. Because in the first match against Hellas Verona we saw a terrible performance from Napoli. Napoli lost 3-0 against Hellas Verona. But the entire match was dominated by Napoli players. Napoli had 67% of the ball. And also attacked a lot. Even then, Napoli players could not score a single goal. Instead, Napoli conceded three goals.

Napoli in last three matches against Bologna. Two matches were drawn and Bologna won one. Napoli's past record against Bologna is not good. At the same time, Napoli are not in good form. That's why I think it's too risky to bet on Napoli.

Since Conte joined Napoli he tried to do his best to have the team improve and get in better form and that's why he wanted to hire some more players for Napoli for this season. Hiring Lukaku was one good example for Conte but hiring this superstar player couldn't be easy for any team.

Lukaku is a good striker and can be called as a star player but his quality does not meet criteria for super star players. Super star player is used for players like Messi, Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Mbappe, Haaland and Lukaku is under these players in quality. His quality is good, I don't deny it but only want to disagree with you on this. He is not matched with a super star player quality.

Now it seems Conte wants to still hire Scott McTominay from Mancshyer United.
So Napoli sent a 25 million euro offer for hiring Scott McTominay to get this player in the last remaining days of the transfer window.

McTominay almost reached his best and he is no longer can grow up his career more after many years in Manchester United and worked with many coaches. Conte is a coach who really likes players who can work hard, have good team-working attitude and are ready to contribute for the team and don't mind to sacrifice their ego and favorite positions. McTominay is a midfielder like this and I believe Conte wants to have this player by these reasons.

Napoli had 67% of the ball. And also attacked a lot. Even then, Napoli players could not score a single goal. Instead, Napoli conceded three goals.

Bologna is a fairly dangerous team in Serie A this season after they succeeded in being in the top four last season and also qualified for the UCL this season, meaning Napoli will face a tough opponent at their home ground today so there is a possibility for Napoli to fail to win again in this match if their players cannot take advantage of more opportunities. I am quite sure that Bologna is still very good this season even though in the first match this season Bologna experienced an unexpected draw when hosting Udinese at their home base.

This is a great goal for Conte's Napoli by targeting this talented midfielder of course it will add to their game power because McTominay is a pretty good player, seeing how he plays for his country he almost in every match performs as well as possible there so I think this goal is good to improve Napoli's performance, seeing Napoli currently lacks midfielders so it is the right decision to bring in a new midfielder, but of course it will not be easy for them to bring in McTominay because Fulham is also very interested in this player so they have to fully convince McTominay's personality to join them, of course a price war will start and of course Man United will try to choose a more profitable club so I think Napoli must be able to spend a lot of money to bring in this player to start his career in Serie A.

At least I hope both teams can score goals in this match. Napoli did start quite badly because they lost quite badly to Verona. But I don't think Conte should make the same mistakes in the strategy he made for this squad. However, I'm not sure whether Napoli will win or lose or draw. Because I haven't seen clearly what this team will be like under Conte's coaching. And there are still transfers that have not been completed which means this team is not yet at its full strength.

For the other matches today I will favor Atalanta, Roma and Fiorentina.

[Fuso.hp]

No doubt, AC Milan's started well. Victory over City? Impressive. But those Real and Barca losses? They showed flaws. Preseason has limits. Despite his good record, Fonseca faces a tough challenge. It will take time to assemble Milan's team.

Under Inzaghi, Inter is stable. That constancy Milan wants is there. Milan has some interesting new players, but its about how they fit in. Look, I want Milan to succeed. Great club with a deep history. But this season's gonna be more about building and finding their footing. Inter is stable and experienced. Potential doesnt win championships for Milan. It requires effort, devotion, and luck.

AC Milan's 2:2 draw against at San Siro stadium over the weekend is one of the reasons I don't take the results of preseason games serious. For a club that defeated Manchester City who happens to be one strongest teams in Europe, most people were expecting AC Milan to easily get the better of Torino but that didn't materialize as the away team twice came back to snatch a point from the game. AC Milan manager Paulo Fonseca oversaw his first competitive game for the club in that game so I believe he can improve his tactical approaches to games which is likely to get them better results going forward.
The Italian Serie A just kicked off and I don't think it's sane enough to write off AC Milan's ability to win it or do you think they're not capable enough to compete with the other top teams in the league for a chance to win the scudetto at the end of the season?

In the case of AC Milan, the point I was making before the start of the season is that we can't predict how a team will perform in the main season based on pre-season performances alone. AC Milan beat the big teams in the preliminaries so many people thought that maybe AC Milan will do well in the Italian league next season but in two matches so far this team has played one match they have drawn and the other match they have lost. On the other hand, Inter Milan have played equal matches to AC Milan where they have earned full points in two matches and are at the top of the points table while AC Milan are at the 15th position in the points table after playing two matches. Last season we saw AC Milan as a close opponent to Inter Milan, this season AC Milan are performing like this if they continue to perform regularly then we will not see them between 1 and 5 in the points table.

[Gallar]

The second week of Serie A still presents many surprises, Lazio and AC Milan suffered defeats against lower-ranked teams and even AC Milan lost against a promoted team.

~Snip

Yes, I didn't expect these two teams to lose against a team that could be said to be not very strong in Serie A. I don't know what caused the defeat, because as we know, these two teams played very well and always dominated the game quite optimally. But strangely, even though in every match both teams were able to dominate the game, it seemed that luck was not on the side of either team. Moreover, what made me a little confused was why Milan lost to Parma, which is a new team in Serie A. Apart from that, what surprised me the most was that Milan conceded in the second minute of the first half. So either Parma is performing very well or Milan is experiencing a decline in performance. Because if you look at Milan's performance last season, their performance was clearly very great. But this season I don't see that good performance. But I just take the positive side. Maybe this season the Milan players have to adapt again, so because this match against Parma is the first match, maybe the Milan players were a little surprised which resulted in their performance decreasing.

And talking about Lazio who also suffered defeat against Udinese. Actually, I wasn't too surprised by this match, because basically from last season Udinese often gave surprises by beating strong teams in Serie A. So seeing Lazio lose to Udinese in this match, I wasn't too surprised. Apart from that, in this match, Lazio basically couldn't take full advantage of the opportunities. The reason is that in this match there were lots of opportunities that Lazio players could create. In fact, as we know, in this match Lazio benefited from the number of players. But this only resulted in one goal, and could not equalize or win this match. It looks like this season Serie A will have new great teams.

This was a humiliating defeat even though Lazio was not the host but Udinese was just a weak team that Lazio failed to beat.

Right.  S.S. Lazio football team could not do well in this match and that lose the match by 1 goal. That team could do only one goal at the end of match and Udinese was victorious . Udinese players did excellent in this match and their effort made them successful in this match. I will appreciate Udinese team due to that kind of struggle . L. Lucca did goal for his team at the start of match and after that match was bent towards L. Lucca  but that team was not strong team but they hide their weakness and forgot their past performance.
