Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[beerlover]

Juventus will beat Empoli and continue to put pressure on title rivals Inter. There will be no draw here. I predict this match Juventus will win by 2 goals alone.

The truth is I hope that they get that return, because I am a person who will always support Juve, on this occasion I hope that their motivation does not go away, I remember how last season when they lost against Inter to see who would take first place, at that moment they fell to the ground , Obviously they could not do anything, they came in 4th because they were really lucky, but it was a race in which every day they went to play they achieved nothing, at that moment Allegri I don't know how he did to stay there at the right point to not fall out of 5th , I hope that this time in Serie A that Juve that is always so good will be reborn.

Unfortunately a 0-0 draw wasn't what they expected from this game and with the new manager they are expecting the team to do better but they failed to do better unfortunately. The sad thing is that they already have a two for two draw, they drawn against Roma as well and couldn't win that one, and people said Roma is a good team so that was overlooked but now that's two in a row and this time it's against Empoli as well, not a good team at all.

I think it's clear that Juventus doesn't look good at all, maybe I am speaking a little too soon and maybe things will change, but at the end of the day it looks like it is not going to be that easy to handle at all, seems like things could be very different. We should consider this as something that will take a while and because of that Juventus needs time to rebuild in order to be champions again. Inter is just vastly better right now, I think Juventus isn't close to the top yet.

It does look disappointing but Juventus at least did not suffer a defeat and the draw still saved Juventus by sharing points. Empoli also benefited from this draw, by noting that they are unbeaten in 4 matches. On the other hand, Inter will play their first match in the Champions League before facing Milan, and from Inter side the situation is quite unfavorable. Not only in the Champions League, Inter must field their best squad but against Milan they also have to win if they want to overtake Juventus in the standings.

Well, the draw was a bit disappointing, but I can understand the result considering that the match took place at Empoli's home ground. And Empoli's record at the start of this season of even beating Roma is also a sign that they are no longer a weak club. So when we see Juventus having difficulty scoring goals, we shouldn't be that surprised. This match only proves to us that Empoli will indeed have a better season this time compared to last season.
After this, Juventus will have an important match in the UCL, namely against PSV. I hope Juventus can go far in the UCL.

On the one hand, Inter Milan, they have a tough opponent in the UCL because Inter Milan was quite unlucky because they had to face Man City directly in the first match of the UCL. I'm pessimistic that Inter Milan can win. But before that, today Inter Milan will play Monza and I think Inter Milan can give an easy win in today's match in Serie A.

Dovbyk and Dybala are both on the pitch now. Thankfully they are having a good day as well.    Roma are 1-0 ahead with Dovbyk's goal. Dybala is also well-performing now. I don't think this is going to be a game in which Roma lose points finally. I would be happy with it too after a very poor result. De Rossi captured a three-year contract from the board so I wouldn't like him to lose their confidence in a short time.

Besides one should always be patient with the manager. We have many examples of some big teams such as Arsenal becoming very successful with their managers after a couple of years.

Roma team can't start this season well. Roma's performances have been very erratic since the start of the season. But Roma's squad this season has been quite strong. Even so, we saw poor performances from Roma in the first few matches. Especially against a team as weak as Empoli, the Roma team was defeated.

However, in today's match against Genoa, Roma players are performing well. Roma lead 1-0 at the end of the first half. Artem Dovbyk scored the only goal of the match so far. Artem Dovbyk performed brilliantly last season in Girona's jersey. Dovbyk has the ability to score a lot of goals if he gets enough support from his teammates. Dybala is also a good enough player. Dybala is also capable of playing well when the team needs it. If the pair of Dybala and Dovbyk are in good form then we will see consistent good performances from Roma. Because we have seen in the past matches that Roma's main weakness is the poor performance of their attacking players.

I'm sorry, but i totally disagreed with what you said above. It's a disgusting performance from Roma. They were unable to get three points against a weak team. They showed incompetent performance. They're abysmal, they're also showing low effort, also a moronic tactic from Rossi.

After Roma took the lead in the first half, they changed their gameplay. I think no one can justify a complete shift to a defensive strategy against Genoa. And they just let Genoa fully attack them for the second half.

Roma gave Genoa enough chances to equalize the score. They looked so pathetic in the second half. Nothing changed so far. 3 draws and 1 loss to start the season. This ended their chance for a UCL spot next season.

Inter is just vastly better right now, I think Juventus isn't close to the top yet.

Every new manager needs time to settle in, in a new football club. And it's not just the manager, because the players also need to get used to the coach, the whole new coaching staff is something to get used to be the players as well. So there is always a lot happening when a new manager takes over a club, and it introduces a lengthy transition.

After Thiago Motta came into Juventus, he had addressed and introduced a lot of new changes into the team, a lot of first-team starters were dropped out of the project of the club, a few great players were brought in, and they started well too. They are still on the top of the leaderboard, even though they can be conquered over by Inter Milan.

But it's always a positive if you look how they are still avoiding defeats, which shows that they are resilient and their determination is formidable. I won't write them off easily, because a lot is still to see from this strong Italian group.

Juventus in last night's match really struggled to score a goal against Empoli, playing as a guest Juventus was really frustrated by Empoli's very good and strong defense plus Empoli's goalkeeper D. Vásquez and S. Esposito, Empoli's forwards who put pressure on the counterattack created in the final minutes of the second half made Juventus' defense even more confused and even Empoli almost scored a goal in last night's match, but the draw certainly benefited Empoli.

Empoli is no match for Juventus and I still believe that if it was home match for Juventus, they would definitely win the match with at least 1-0 but Empoli stood their ground and really took the advantage of home and their good defense team.

After they stopped working with Pioli and hired Fonseca for Ac Milan they had bad days and Fonseca couldn't have a good performance in AC Milan at all even though there were some rumors about Fonseca getting fired from AC Milan because of his bad performance since he was much worst than Pioli in this team. Now it seems Fonseca's win against Venezia helped this coach a lot. However, Venezia is not a strong team but this win helped him to stay otherwise AC Milan could start searching for a new coach now. However, Nothing has yet for him and if he gets bad results again he would get himself closer to getting fired from AC Milan.
  

Venezia were the new entrants into Serie A and, sadly, had a poor kick-off to their season. Three losses and a draw in the first four matches do not make good reading for a team that aspires to remain in the Italian top flight. The loss against AC Milan in this game compounds their woes.

Even so, This victory is vital for Fonseca, given his position at AC Milan. True, Venezia is a weak team, but a victory is a victory, and it slightly reduces the pressure on Fonseca. Yet the pressure over AC Milan will not be decreased so simply. If even worse results are coming out, then there is no doubt that Fonseca's position will be increasingly endangered. So the performance of the team has to keep going if he wants to stay longer, no matter how helpful this win was.

I thought maybe Juventus could strengthen their attack this season. But my assumption was wrong. We saw the poor performance of Juventus' attacking players last season. And in this season too, Juventus' attack is not showing any improvement. The performance of Juventus is somewhat stable due to the strong defense as in the previous season.

EMpoli is not a strong team. Although it was Empoli's home match, Juventus were considered favorites in this match. Because Juventus is one of the contenders for this year's Serie A title. But even then Juventus could not play well in this match. Juventus players were able to make only 3 shots on target. A performance like this makes it impossible for this team to occupy the top spot in the table.

If you bet on Juventus to win yesterday's match against Empoli, then you have lost because the final score in this match was a 0-0 draw. Indeed, I also bet on Juventus but unfortunately, Juventus was quite disappointing because they were unable to score a goal in this away match, because at least Empoli who played at home also played well. But even so, Juventus still has good statistics in this match so, basically Juventus still has a chance to win, but they failed and that's a shame.

Because after all, with this draw, Juventus has now had two draws and it doesn't seem like a good result, considering the competition at the top of the Serie A standings is getting more difficult  because Napoli is currently leading with a score of 0-3. Thus, Napoli is currently at the top of the Serie A standings but indeed, Inter will play in a few minutes against Monza and if Inter manages to beat Monza then Inter will return to the top of the standings.

It is true that playing at home is theoretically an advantage for the hosting team but we are here talking about Juventus playing away against Empoli.. That opponent is a team playing just to stay in Serie A each season and in the previous season they were very close from relegation. Juventus has no excuses in my opinion to miss points against them. They dominated the game and missed opportunities. They even missed the opportunity to stay first in Serie A and let Napoli advance in the first place after their 4 goals victory against Cagliari. Even Lukaku scored by the way..

Actually, I was not impressed with Juventus performance yesterday and that has made them go down to second position which I know that Inger will win their tonight match to get all three loints. If Inter wins, Juventus will move down to third position making it not going go be easy for ghem to top the table soonest.

Napoli put up a brilliant performance today and won with 4 goals. Lukaku scored again which makes him to be the right choice for Conte because in his two matches, he has scored two goals one goal each. Napoli is showing interest in ghe title race and I will love to see how they will end up the season.

Juventus has no excuses in my opinion to miss points against them.

If we consider the squad quality of Empoli, I can agree that Juventus must win the match. Juventus has better players and Juventus also has a better coach. Yep, Empoli is actually a small team, they even almost finished in the relegation zone in the previous season. However, if we learn their current stats, Empoli surely can't be underestimated. In 4 early matches this season, Empoli never got a lose, they could win against AS Roma and draw against Bologna. For a small team like Empoli, this stats is quite impressive.

Napoli put up a brilliant performance today and won with 4 goals. Lukaku scored again which makes him to be the right choice for Conte because in his two matches, he has scored two goals one goal each. Napoli is showing interest in ghe title race and I will love to see how they will end up the season.

Since Napoli could sign Lukaku, their performance is getting better. Napoli always wins in the last 3 matches, they often win the match with convincing scores. It looks like Napoli finally can fix the problem in attacking line. Napoli become very productive in scoring after Lukaku becomes the striker of Napoli. Sure, Napoli looks joining the race of the title again. Napoli is leading the Serie A table temporarily.

Monza vs Inter match has just begun. Of course, this will not be an easy match for Monza who are playing at home. Because in terms of h2h, they are not favored. In the last 2 meetings, Monza had to admit Inter's superiority. Even in the last meeting at home, Monza had to lose with a score of 1-5. Of course, everything can change, but Monza's current performance is not that good. Inter will definitely be more favored to win this match. Inter must build trust from the players by winning this match because after this they will face Man City in the first match of the Champions League.

That's what happens when we hope for one team when Juventus was predicted to win the match but in fact they only drew and that's normal in Serie A, we can say that Juventus threw away the opportunity but previously Inter Milan also did it when they played against Genoa well, this is one of the reasons why I am not too confident in the match in Serie A. The 4th match was a bad day for the away team almost all of them can't win except Napoli who managed to beat Cagliari with 4 goals and Lukaku scored one of them.

Today Inter Milan also played the 4th match against Monza, based on these statistics it should be an easy win for Inter Milan because Monza is a weak team, but don't forget Inter Milan is playing away I mean another surprise could happen. I'm not talking about Inter Milan losing but a draw is possible like when they played against Genoa, for this match I will not bet on 1x2 but I am more interested in both teams to score because Monza as the home team has an advantage and one point is enough for Monza.

In the first match of the season, the Napoli team lost against Hellas Verona. But then the Napoli team made a great comeback. Napoli won the next three matches. The team is performing well under the new Napoli coach Antonio Conte. Napoli dominated and won against Bologna and Cagliari. Napoli won 3-0 against Bologna and 4-0 against Cagliari. Napoli's forward players are able to play well and Napoli's defense is also very strong. The Napoli team will face the strong Juventus in the next match. This match will be very competitive as Napoli team is in good form.

I watched the first half of the Atalanta - Fiorentina match, it was incredible. Fiorentina took the lead twice but Atalanta caught them and scored 2 goals in 1 minute to take the lead. I was surprised that there were no goals in the second half, the first half was really exciting. From what I saw in the first half I can say that Atalanta deserved to win the match. Especially Lookman's goal was incredible. De Ketelaere, Lookman and Retegui played very well, Atalanta's forward trio is really effective. They should be in higher place in this league.

After scoring 6 goals in their first two league games of the season in the Italian Serie A, Juventus have now failed to find the back of the net in their last two league games of games while losing four points in those two games and if you ask me, I don't think that's the result the Turin club wants at the moment. Drawing against Roma last two weekends was a bit understandable but Juventus' failure in beating Empoli yesterday even when they played the game at home would definitely leave them with deep concerns.
Thiago Motta proved to be a young manager that can get good results at Bologna but he'll have to do that again at Juventus this season for us to know that he actually knows what he's doing.

After losing two matches in a row, Atalanta won against Fiorentina. I thought Atalanta would lose this match too. Because Atlanta's performance was slow in the last two matches. But Fiorentina was not in a good rhythm. This team has drawn in three consecutive matches. And lost today's match by 3-2.

The first half of the match was very competitive. The important thing is that we saw all 5 goals of the match in the first half. We didn't see any goals in the second half. Atalanta won this match because of Ketelaere and Lookman.
Can Atalanta play well against a strong team like Arsenal in the Champions League? I think Arsenal will win the match.

[BALIK]

Inter Milan didn't manage to score any goals in the first half against Monza and we didn't even see a good first half performance from the Inter Milan players. This is Monza's home match. The Monza team is relatively weak. So Monza will play a defensive strategy in this match as we have already predicted. So Inter Milan should definitely play attacking strategy if they want to win against such a team. But Inter Milan had only 5 shots in the first half, and none of them were on target.

Inter Milan's gameplay is quite slow today. And Inter Milan are playing very carefully. Perhaps Inter Milan coach Inzaghi does not want to take any risks. He doesn't want any key player in Milan's squad to suffer an injury before they face Manchester City. There is no doubt that the match against City is very important for Inter Milan. But at the same time, Inter Milan need to get 3 points against Monza if they want to stay at the top of the table. In the second half maybe Inzaghi will change his match strategy.

You are right that Inter Milan's performance against Monza was slow. And perhaps the Inter Milan coach is not interested in taking any risks in this match. So in 60 minutes, Inter Milan made only 7 shots in total. But not one was on target. Moreover, Inter Milan coach brought Taremi to the field as a replacement for Martinez. Martinez is a very important player in Inter Milan's squad. If he somehow suffers an injury, the chances of Inter Milan doing well against Manchester City will be reduced.

However, Inzaghi is probably more concerned about the Champions League match. And he has forgotten that Inter Milan cannot keep hold of Serie A's top spot unless they can continue their winning streak. So it was necessary for Inter Milan to win the match. But it looks like the match will be a goalless draw.

The second half match has now been going on for 68 minutes and Inter still can't create a good chance. There was not a single shot on target given by Inter to the Monza goal in this match, possession of the ball was balanced, this is not the Inter I know they don't look serious against a weak team there is a big possibility of a draw by both teams if the match continues like this until the end.
